Any ideas?

F5? F5?! People still use F5? What is this? I can right-click and select refresh, or even click refresh on the tool bar, a lot faster than reaching for the F5 key!

F5 pressers remind me of people who look at the keyboard, and use one finger, when they type

For the really lazy, write a macro that checks your email for you, and sends a SMS to your phone when it finds the right one...

The amount I use my keyboard over my mouse, F5 would be faster....but I also use push email so I'd expect the email to appear as fast as it could anyway...

Ah, I only use my keyboard for typing. Browsing/everything else I use the mouse + mouse gestures.

I wonder how many people will hit these forums this evening and sit there refreshing multiple tabs on different forums in vain hope of seeing an 'IT'S OUT' thread pop up.

Don't get your hopes up. Generally if they are quiet there is no news or bad news. When its good news hints start getting dropped.

lol, makes sense. Since its the safest place to keep away from prying eyes until the official alpha launch.

 

[Slawkenbergius]

Looks like they're keeping it open until the 8th now...

You mean to say you can type with more than one finger? This I must try.... (I sense a trip to A&E may be imminent!)

Any ideas?

Escape pod?
Beacon?
Navigation bouy?
Drone hub?
The Alpha download server in geostationary orbit over Cambridge?

 

[Variform]

No no no! You got it all wrong!

Obviously this is an hatching egg from some yet unknown cyber race.

 

[humbleton]

It's obviously the pod at the centre of the galaxy where the bearded monkey lives, you know, the one with the crap ideas.

 

[Spooner]

It's a futuristic Kinder Surprise egg!

Its an RF-78. If memory serves, its slightly larger than the RF-76 (the RF-77 never making it beyond the prototype stage).

Glad to see the next in the RF series has made it into ED :smilie:

So there you go.

Yes, I don't really understand where the confusion is.
Are some people mistaking it for the RH-78 :S
