Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on September 02, 2008, 12:35:34 am: MacBooks don't have Page Up and Page Down keys, so if I have too many contacts, I can only order the top seven contacts on my list.

Post by: Scuddie on September 02, 2008, 01:10:07 am: Well, based on this thread (and the replies for that matter), It seems like I'm the only one who has the ability to digest any information whatsoever.

My thoughts? STFU. Get off my internet. Now.

EDIT: If you want me to spell out how miserably you all fail, you'll have to buy me an ice cream.

EDIT 2: I realize some might be lactose intolerant. Apologies in advance for any of whom I have offended.

EDIT 3: Oh, thanks for the ice cream. The reason you all fail is because you read a slashdot article and thought it was accurate in the least.

Unfortunately, it sounds like it's the method and not the name (according to the article). I'm kind of disappointed, actually...I have a Microsoft Keyboard and it'd be the ultimate irony if it didn't have the "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys patented.

I knew I did something wrong when you said that, although I didn't know what.

Stop posting.

Oh, and I'm still quite surprised people still think MS trademarked/patented/whatever the usage/keys/whatever of PgUp and PgDn. They patented the usage of a certain algorithm that references absolute document location and compares it against pixels, then moves the document exactly that much lower... or something. Anyway, it is something most programs never do.
