Type With Your Eyes

I wonder how this can be optimized for coding -- a break for your wrists, and the code is available under GPL."
Somthing tells me this could be really bad if your girlfriend or wife is standing near you when you have it on and she asks you one of her dumb questions..
Am i getting fat?
Do you want to go to the mall?
What do you think of this dress?
etc etc etc etc...
Must look really stupid when you try to enter ctrl-v. And don't even mention ctrl-alt-delete ....

Most programmers really don't need the extra wrist exercise anyway.
I wonder if this will cause your eye muscles to get bigger?
Yes, they did, and I had it installed for a while.
Not to actually use mind you; its absolute shit. If you use it to enter more than three workds you'll be cross eyed and ready to hurl your mouse across the room. No no, start Dasher up, and then leave it running while you get on with your work. Hilarity ensues! (Note: Hilarity may not ensue)
When a dang popup appears. Then when I look at it to close it it opens up another add. Suddenly I am trying to close all these windows when ADULT ads started to popup. Obviously since naked women are on my screen I look at them. So suddenly I am signed up to two porn sites.
And that is why my screen is full of porn Mr smith. Please dont fire me. Its not my fault. Its this dang thing that uses my eyes to controll the computer instead of the keyboard.

Imagine taking notes in a meeting, mapping gestures to short cuts...
"Then Bert, bloody hell is this guy boring, said 'I think we should start at the beginning oh for fucks sake and then continue to the end well done sodding einstein' this was agreed as bloody obvious, does that guy get paid for it, well hello nice legs shit what did he say very nice legs up down up down up down.....

Lazy FDA Approves X-Ray Vision Pills
WASHINGTON, DC--Citing the hot weather and a desire to go home for the day, FDA officials approved American Products Limited's "X-Ray Vision Pills" for commercial sale in the U.S. Monday. "After evaluating this and regulating that for months, we were really dying to cut out early, so we were all just like, 'Fuck it. Let's just approve this,'" FDA deputy commissioner Lester Crawford said. "Besides, nobody could think of a real good reason why X-ray-vision pills would be unsafe."
You could use your hands for something else at the same time - like typing on a different computer :-)
Didn't /. already cover this? /. knows and loves if he didn't repost articles that were less than 90 days old.
Yes, but Timothy wouldn't be the Timothy
We love you Timothy! Keep posting old crap!
We love feeling intellectually superior to someone who gets paid to surf all day.
Smooches!

That must hurt, tapping your eyes on the keyboard to type..
