Swype Beta For Android Is Open, Temporarily

Posted by kdawson on from the grab-it-quick dept.

FyreWyr writes "In 2008 we discussed Swype, which allows a mobile (phone, e.g.) user to draw a path over a virtual keyboard to enter words, rather than requiring precise tapping to accomplish the input. Using this software, a Swype intern (Franklin Page) beat the Guinness record by about 6 WPM for the Guinness-standard phrase: The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human. (Unfortunately the video at that link is marked private.) TechCrunch reports that Swype is presently in open beta, and will be available for 'a couple of days,' supporting English, Spanish, and Italian entry. Finally, while the deadline has apparently passed, I was able to retrieve the Android beta for testing a few minutes ago. I'm posting it here for the benefit of Android-enabled Slashdot readers."

      Niggers, also known as "ghetto rats" because they breed, and breed, and breed, and breed ... and breed some more, while engaging in a form of cannibalism - black-on-black crime which is far higher than white-on-black crime has ever been, eating all sorts of garbage like fast food and becoming disgustingly fat sows so they can shit out some more ghetto rats by ten different fathers, may have also censored you along with heatherns and jewbastards.

      This is why the white man is superior. A black person can walk through a white neighborhood without worrying for his safety. A white person walking through a black neighborhood better watch his fucking ass. Therefore, blacks are barbaric heathen niggers and far more racist than whites.

      And another thing! Who the fuck keeps knocking up these elephantine big fat sweaty nasty body-odor-producing gut-bigger-than-tits nigger bitches anyway? There aren't that many sperm banks. Somebody's actually holding their nose and fucking these piles of jiggly lard. Who the fuck is doing that and why won't they have some dignity and just jack off? What, there aren't enough future criminal little bastards in the world so you gotta make tons more?

      The solution to all of this is easy. If you accept any sort of welfare or live in any kind of public housing, you must first accept free taxpayer-supplied surgical sterilization. A generation or two of that and the worst neighborhoods might even have white people in them again.
