My RAM is at 50% used most of the time, and Windows STILL use the page file. The HD is a real pain in the ass bottleneck on my system for some unknown reason however. I had a HD that was supposed to be much slower, and it's like 10x times faster then my current one...

Yep, I've witnessed that too. Swap partition is constantly unused and everything runs smooth. As I boot into Win7 it even yelled at me it doesn't have memory and I should stop programs (well I was running Maya 2011...). I had to turn the swap on and it still uses it. On the other hand it seems that Windows can run much longer on the battery with window compositing compared to Mint 10 with Compiz.

Anyway I would second Johan with the TV broadcast aspect ratio. It's pain in the ...

Oh yeah, aspect ratio. Why did someone at some point decide that 16:9 or 16:10 were acceptable aspect ratios for computer screens? The only thing for which this is useful is watching movies full-screen. That's hardly ever what I do though, my computers are for working, and procrastinating on the internet.

I like 16:9. Let's leave it at that, I'm sure if I elaborated further Tobias would prove that I can't possibly like 16:9.

People licking things to help pick them up is one of my pet peeves. Keep your saliva to yourself you filthy individual! slap

Hey, practically all my variables are global. Have to keep track of them somehow.

People who put cutlery with the handle down in the dishwasher basket. To get them out you need to prick yourself, or handle the bit that touches your food.

I don't like mix & matching of glasses when they get put away in the cupboard. I always line them up in rows of the same type. It used to be subconsciously, but even if I think about it the urge is there to line them up. It's borderline OCD.

And washing pegs. Must have the same coloured pegs (of the same type) on an item of washing. Again, it used to be a subconscious thing, but now there's an unshakable urge to maintain habit.

I need Dr Phil

People on the internet.

All of them.

Especially myself.

People who tell me about the dream they had last night, and people who watch a documentary on the Multiverse and then claim to understand string theory.

You're probably still dreaming. In the real world, you actually ARE three hours late for work.

EDIT:

I just realized that on a 16:10 screen, 320x200 VGA has square pixels. *mind blown*

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet: people who keep asking questions that are in a tutorial/manual AFTER you pointed them to it or even to the specific page where it's pointed out.

RTFM

Example:

Him: Why is this not compiling?(followed by a class with a function without parameters and accessing variables that aren't part of the class/globals)
Me: You should pass this and this variable in a parameter. The compiler can't find these variables because they aren't in scope.
Him: How do I do that?
Me: If you don't know how parameters work, I suggest you should first read up on functions here(link to a c++-tutorial)
Him: But why doesn't it compile? That variable is there on line 22(in main(), that is), so why can't the compiler find it?
Me: getting freaked out Read this page(link to the tutorial page on functions+parameters).
Him: But why doesn't it do what I want?

/EDIT: He finally got the hint... phew
