Many good keyboards have double-shot molded keys. The keyboard marking is not just on the top of the key, it goes all the way through. You can wear the key down a full millimeter and still have a good marking.
Actually, your reference says exactly what the OP said: The design put the most common keys away from the middle to reduce jamming. It also goes to say that Dvorak's layout really isn't much more efficient.
How's that Windows think working for ya? Specifying Windows as the main operating system may appear to save you money, but you also have to pay money on security software and services as well. Sure the whole package may be less expensive than Linux, Unix, z/OS or IBM i, but you still have to include the security piece.
Horace Dediu of Asymco wrote about Nokia's situation yesterday and showed where Windows Phone phones have not filled the gap in the loss of sales for Symbian phones. He also concludes that the goal of 150 million Symbian phone sales (beginning Q1 2011) will never be reached. He's got some good thoughts on this situation.
Alternatively, the requirement could be constant contact with the ground. Most objects will fly at 1,000 mph; I know the takeoff speed of my Corolla is around 120 mph.
Horsepower lets us visualize 80,000 horses and the manure that they produce. Now, since each of the 80,000 horses is limited in speed, you still have to figure out how to put them in series to get the desired 1,000 mph (they can't pull but they could push), but, still, it's important to some to think of the problem in this way.
The whole point of this part of the discussion is that heating your house with a heat pump will take less electricity than heating your house with light bulbs (traditional, CFL or LED). This is because the heat pump using a specific amount of electrical power can produce more heat than light bulbs using the same amount of electrical power.
In Ohio, most new generation capacity are natural-gas turbines for peak generation only. I doubt that they are more efficient and certainly not less expensive per kWh than a coal-fired plant running 24/7. My original comment still stands.
Sat in the Moon Deck seats at Great American Ball Park. When a Reds pitcher strikes out a batter, big flames erupt from the smokestacks of the fake riverboat. The infrared heat from the flames is immediate (speed of light) and intense. No need to heat the air, just heat me.
Study up, bro. The heat pump moves the heat from the outside to the inside. No violation of physics here. The heat produced is much more than the energy in the electricity required to run the compressor.
Considering the billions of dollars spent unnecessarily on antivirus software and additional billions stolen from people who weren't able to stop their computer from being "open to everyone," I disagree with you.

None of the keyboard markings have worn off.

In theory, one could use a barcode-reading Web site ...
That is so 1990s. I use NeoReader on my iPhone. It's available for Android as well.

They better start caring about Windows Phone 8 or Steve Ballmer is going to throw some more chairs!
Actually, it was one story I was upset about and now I've forgotten what the subject was. Time to update the sig!

The case has to do with items purchased overseas then imported into this country. If you didn't purchase your item overseas, it doesn't apply to you.
Okay, if cold fusion is so limited, explain why NASA has applied for a cold fusion patent.
Just think if all that money had been spent developing cold fusion instead. We might have actual power plants by now.
Here's an analogy: They're trying to build the most powerful vacuum tube amplifier of thinking about replacing the vacuum tube with transistors.
Ars Technica got a call from the scammers today.

Traffic jam? There will be no traffic jam once this car goes through.
It still won't be as big as the original Ferris Wheel which could hold 2,160 people at a time. Also, will a 9-minute ride still be 50 cents?

Thanks for the explanation. I do try to judge which way the consensus is leaning when using my mod points.

Slashdot does this too. When I mark a post "Troll," it will drop the score but sometimes mark it "Insightful."
Generating electricity from coal puts mercury into the atmosphere. Saving electricity reduces mercury.
You have to look at the bigger picture. Energy efficiency improvements postpone new generating plants which saves real money on your electric bill.
