Reading would then require you to actually sound out what you're reading (aloud or in your head) so that you can discern the spoken value of the syllable, and then infer from the context which of the homophones is the intended one. It's like having to speak in order to read.
Seems like that would shoot the shit out of being able to read at any decent speed. You probably don't notice it (yet) because your ability to read is still so poor that you don't notice the extra second or so that it takes you to figure out what's written.
You essentially cut your reading speed down below that at which you can "speak". It's a very similar problem as to why it's so painful to input Chinese with a Roman keyboard. You have to figure out what tone it is, then you get a chooser to pick between all of the (sometimes lengthy list of) homophones. The homophone-space is incredibly small given the huge semantic space of the (any) language.
Kids today just don't appreciate the art that ASCII is. It is hard to make a modern case for an ASCII development environment.
I don't always ASCII, but when I do, I emacs -- because it's the most interesting editor in the world. Stay meta, my friends.
People are entitled to favor "vi' if they'd like, because some people choose to be wrong, and that's their choice.
Emacs, lisp/scheme... what's the difference?
What's to learn in "vi/vim" -- ooooh, you can make a keyboard macro. From Emacs you can pwn the world, hello!
Emacs is the original IDE -- of any consequence (errr, excepting perhaps Smalltalk, which never landed very many seats, sadly).
Perhaps it's really just that encryption is a lesser part of the total solution, so in that respect, it's relatively less important than it used to be.

Probably after trying to reset the date to 24 hours earlier. Setting the time backwards can do wonders for a system.
I disagree and think that police should be allowed to be filmed in public places at all times, to help keep them honest.
At the same time, if I were being loaded into an ambulance by police, in the midst of a violent mental health breakdown, I would really appreciate it if the police stopped people from filming me. That's not something you want out spread around the internet.
So, basically, you're all for truth and justice, except when it's inconvenient for you.
Wow. Does anyone listen to themselves anymore?
The graphics performance isn't that shabby. I was willing to give it some points based on that and cost, and split the difference. But we're basically on the same page.
First of all, my comment was based on Linux over Android on the tablet, the relevance of which you seemed to conveniently ignore. If you're going to gripe about a reply, read the f-ing post being replied to.
And your contention that Linux==Android certainly isn't the case either, on the face of it -- which is the whole point.
"Your out of date"
At least I'm on point and can compose a grammatically correct sentence.
Anything that gives you a false sense of security when you have little or none is worse than knowing up-front that you have no security. As long as the PC itself isn't secure (keyloggers, rootkits, or any other type of snoopage), you shouldn't touch it if you actually care.

I don't understand why anyone would dispute that we don't need more systems for killing accordions. Bagpipes, too, while we're at it.
with the first two words of the headline -- didn't need to read anything else.

I stand corrected -- death by Monty Python marathon.
Suicide would be the only honorable thing to do at this point. By reptilian strangulation would be appropriate.

That was a time-bomb put in by Carly Fiorina years ago, thinking that she'd (still) be Governor by now.

"we have seen mainstream devices like the pi that use a TV for a monitor, that are in every way as functional as a hi-priced pc" ... of six years ago.
I too welcome the next eight years being heralded as "the Year of the Linux Tablet", after all of the success of Linux on the desktop.

Maybe in the third world it was.
If I weren't just a capacitive bag of antenna-tuning water, why I'd... ... um.... er... humpf.
Penalty -- use of "sales" and "think" in the same sentence. 15 yards!
