postjack Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Posted June 18, 2007 dude you cannot pwn nubs with a trackpad.
aerius Posted June 18, 2007 Report Posted June 18, 2007 Look where the keys are on his keyboard, I think the trackpad is the least of his issues.
deepak Posted June 18, 2007 Report Posted June 18, 2007 Found the mouse under a pile of papers. Now where are my Senn HD580s...oh yes Sennheiser is looking for them SR-60s it is, time to get pwned, I haven't played in so long Hmm...still somewhat have it, haven't played since last summer. Second round in italy was much better. Our team came back from 0-5, which was
NotoriousBIG_PJ Posted June 18, 2007 Report Posted June 18, 2007 Lol that keyboard pic was taken directly from the wikepedia entry for Dvorak layout. Biggie.
Salt Peanuts Posted June 18, 2007 Report Posted June 18, 2007 Lol that keyboard pic was taken directly from the wikepedia entry for Dvorak layout. Biggie. Nope, it's a pic of my own laptop. Link to the Wiki pic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:IBook_with_DVORAK.JPG

Link to the Wiki pic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:IBook_with_DVORAK.JPG How fast are you with the Dvorak? It's supposed to be much more efficient than QWERTY isn't it? As I understand it QWERTY was made initially to slow down typists using typewriters so they wouldn't jam the machine.
Salt Peanuts Posted June 18, 2007 Report Posted June 18, 2007 How fast are you with the Dvorak? It's supposed to be much more efficient than QWERTY isn't it? As I understand it QWERTY was made initially to slow down typists using typewriters so they wouldn't jam the machine. Not at all anymore. I was okay with it, but using Dvorak at home while using QWERTY at work made my typing slower with both keyboard, so I stopped using Dvorak at home (made playing game a pain, too). I may start re-learning it now that I found a keyboard skin that has Dvorak key layout preprinted that I can use with my keyboard. I think Dvorak is supposed to be easier on your hands/fingers.
hungrych Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 QWERTY was made to alternate your hands, not slow you down. The slowing down thing is a myth perpetrated by the dvorak people as far as I know.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 The slowing down thing is a myth perpetrated by the dvorak people as far as I know.No, it's the truth -- they made it so that frequently adjacent letters couldn't be typed in rapid succession, in the old days of keyed (not ball) typewriters, so that it minimized the chances of jamming...still happened (anyone who's used such a typewriter knows).
deepak Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 QWERTY was made to alternate your hands, not slow you down. The slowing down thing is a myth perpetrated by the dvorak people as far as I know. Yeah I believe there is truth to what Dusty says. It was intended for people to single "cluck" type. Later on the F and J became the home keys.
hungrych Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 That's slowing down the adjacent letters, not the typing in general, though I guess you could interpret it that way.
deepak Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 That's slowing down the adjacent letters, not the typing in general, though I guess you could interpret it that way. Well if they were arranged alphabetically it would be faster for the person typing since there's minimum memorization of the keyboard. So slowing down adjacent letters is slowing down their overall speed.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 Maybe for a hunt'n'peckerhead, but once you have the layout memorized, one needs the most frequently typed letters underneath one's fingers; second tier should be one key away, etc. That's not the case on a QWERTY keyboard.
granodemostasa Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 what the hell is this.... seriously 1100 USD for that?http://www.bluecircle.com/index.php?page_id=6938 i seriously get annoyed at companies like this... don't even tell me what's in the output stage. Their dac is worse... doesn't tell me the DA chips, upsampling, or output they use.
granodemostasa Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 no... i mean for gathering information. Example: they don't tell me what they actually do inside the amp. When it comes to dacs I want to organize them(for the "all the dacs money can buy" thread)... and know what's inside before i buy them. well, i can't do that if they puff smoke all over the product! most of the dacs on that thread that don't have details are precisely for this reason... goes from the low end all the way to 5-15K dacs.... smoke, smoke and more smoke! example: http://www.twindac.com/Innovations.htm
909 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 And you've sent emails with specific spec questions when you feel the info provided is unclear?
granodemostasa Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 no.... (i now see myself with the job of emailing everyone.... ).... maybe i'm just venting because i can't finish that damn post.
909 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 I'm in no rush. Are you? Just write-up a cookie cutter email--change the manufacturer, model, and make a broad request and send two or three emails a day. If you know a particular contact person's name, it's always best to address it directly to them.
granodemostasa Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 I don't think Rosie should host "the price is right."
postjack Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Posted June 20, 2007 I don't think Rosie should host "the price is right." yes, I'm against rosie on the price is right as well. you think regis could do it?
Dusty Chalk Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 My choice would be Hamilton, but I have a feeling they will go with someone younger. Personally, I don't care -- I think Rosie and The Price is Right is a match made in heaven -- I can avoid both just by not watching one show.
postjack Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Posted June 20, 2007 Personally, I don't care -- I think Rosie and The Price is Right is a match made in heaven -- I can avoid both just by not watching one show. lol, true. I'm never home when its on anyway, so really I shouldn't care. But when I was 4 years old it was my favorite show on TV. My mom used to tape it for me everyday and I'd watch it when I got home from preschool. Plinko was my favorite.
