I went from using a flat keyboard to a MS natural pro, and OMG I love it. I think that RADICAL changes won't work as a business model. But this isn't so extreme.
The reason Vertical keyboards won't work is because people still look at their keys when they type. Soon, a vertical keyboard may be common as the population ages, and everyone who's anyone will know how to touch type.
this is a late post, and may have been addressed allready, but..
AMD also has been working on a technology to make multiple cores look like one to the OS. (I imagine via some sort of driver, or chipset layer) If that happens, then you could stack multiple small & cooler cores to get better processing power. Which wether intel says so or not, we will all need more power sooner or later, because I've given her all she's got captain....
Really! I remember when a radioshack rep told my parents that the new 486 dx66 was more power than anyone will ever need. I also remember a friend of mine telling me that I could NEVER fill up a 25 megabyte (gigabyte, terabyte, Petabyte, insert ungodly byte here...) hard drive. It will be a long time before we need 8 cores, but the need will be there. Especially when 3D Supra Hollographic displays hit the scene along with Positronic Nueral Interfacing tm.

Why is a sportscar the " toy of an insecure jerk?"
I don't get that comment. Whats more, is I don't get how you are modded to 3.
I drive a relativly fast car (0-60 in 5.4, Lowered, 4x 8way AGX shocks,305 hp, and wheels and tires to apply that to the road) and am completely secure in my self. I just really enjoy outrunning police officers, and blowing away little ricer wanna-bes. Oh, and the fact that my car is very low maintenance, sips fuel (for it's performance class), and can merge on the freeway without slowing down traffic.
I for one, welcome our comunicating appliance overlords...
But seriously, Who here hasn't been distracted by a late night tech, coding, or gaming session and forgot about the laundry that you needed to do so you could go to work with something clean on?
What about the fact that the sooner you get your clothes out of the dryer the less wrinkles you have.
I think this is an awesome idea that is a little late in my opinion.
Thank you, that almost made me sick. Drawing and passing a picture is closer to harrasment, but he touched no-one, nor did he make any kind of contact with his teacher directly. Rape is a very serious crime that in my opinion should be punishable by death.
I was working for a client not long ago whos account had been compromised. Aol changed some account settings and made them all create new passwords. My client went on vacation, and charged me with getting all their stuff working again (wireless router, etc...) Well, somehow they also disallowed PPPOE on 1 of their accounts (I'm not sure how / why they did that, but I spent forever trying to figure out what they did, and then proving it to them) Mind you everything worked before they messed with the account settings.
Their solution was to destroy one of the accounts (which happened to be in use), and create one for the router. Technically appropriate, but they should have added an account IMHO, and it came about 13 hours too long.
I just wanted it to work so I could download updates and prepare them for Cable.
Where in the article does it say that his actions were fine? They are going for the free speech lawsuit because it's the strongest case to change the punishment of a 1/2 year suspension for drawing a picture. If it was my kid, I would punish the crap out of him, and explain why I was going to court, and make sure he worked off the attourney fees!
Hell, for that matter, why don't we just bypass all of it and go where the hotbutton of the day is... videogames. Yeah... the videogames made him do it... now pay up.
Thats it, I am going to kill you.
Meet me on Rexxar in front of Ironforge. Duel ready. High noon/sarcasm
I completly agree with you up till the end.
Let's say this kid eventually does turn around and actually "kills" this teacher. Who's fault is it? Would it be those who punished him unjustly for expressing his opinion (including the teacher himself), driving him to lash out in response to his oppression? Would it be the parents, who supported their child's right to express an opinion, despite of its lack of popularity with those who disagree with it?
If the kid kills the teacher, it's the teachers fault. Plain and simple. He should have strafed to one side, or the other after activating "bullet time"
Seriously though. You have to blame the child for his or her own actions. In this case he needs to be punished. But he does not need to have a suspension term of a semester. Your going to give a kid a very long summer for drawing a picture... however violent it might be.
What if he modeled it all and made a movie about it then what?
well, I guess then you would blame it on the video games in that case huh... nvm
I think you're way off base to say "Children do stupid things like this all the time". Kids cuss, they sneak liquor out of their parents stash, they try their first smokes, they might even experiment with sex or practice vandalism. ALL of these things have consequences, some directly by the various things they experiment with.
Kids say mean and hurtfull things alot. I remember a dozen times telling my parents I hated them. (they are now among my best freinds)Obviously I didn't mean it.
If my son ever did anything like this he'd lose his recreational computer privledges for a very long time, he'd personally and publically apologize to the teacher. In the end, his hate and frustration for that teacher would be nothing compared to the contempt he'd have for me when I'm done with him.
Bravo. Thats what should have hapend (up till the contempt for parent thing)
He just drew a picture and passed it around to the clasmates out side of school. In my day I would have gotten sent to the principles office on Monday morning. I'd be in big trouble. But a whole semester? probably not.
I don't think it's the childs actions they are defending, but more the punishment that didn't fit the crime.
Yeah he did draw and distribute a bad picture. So did many famous artists. I'm suspecting he was angry about a poor test grade or something... took his aggression out on photoshop, and set as an IM ICON. Some friends of his thought it was cool and requested it, and so it was spread...
Yeah, the kid is stupid. Yes he should have gotten suspended. A week or two tops. Yes he better be grounded for six months. No Myspace for a year. No WOW, Q4, etc... And most importantly lets not forget the parents should be more active in their childs online activities...
However, remember that suspending a student for a sememster is dificult on the parents too. Now they have a child, who is angry he is'nt with his friends, home from school doing god knows what when mom & dad are at work. They now have to hire a tutor, or a taxi, or worse, they have to quit a job so they can shuttle him to a new school for four months. My parents would be OUTRAGED at a 6 month suspension for something I did at home.
Again though, the kid should be diciplined. Just not out of school for an entire semester. Secondly a whole semester out of school gives the kid less of a chance to correct his behavior and move on. He'll become forever angry at the system, and will be behind the other students, possibly too far to catch up. He'll miss out on a fair portion of socializing with real people and probably end up spending more time online.

DHCP-like, as in which came first the chicken or the egg?
