I have similar problems on Visual Studio 2010 too- you have to double click to just select a method's name alone, single click selects the method's "signature" or whatever you call it. But often when I double click, and ctrl+c, VS2010 is too busy and I end up with the whole thing and not just the name.
I also tried the ICANN but they weren't interested either. And when they approved stuff like.biz,.info. I got the impression they weren't really interested in improving the Internet from a technical aspect but more interested in $$$$. Did the creation of.biz etc really help the Internet that much?
I did try via the ICANN (emailed them to ask them to reserve it). But the ICANN were more interested in "yet another dotcom tld" like.biz.info. And I didn't have a spare USD100k lying around to apply for the TLD through ICANN, and give it to the world if I even succeeded in getting it.
Once a project has a culture of abuse it's hard to change it esp in an OSS project. There aren't that many people with the knowledge, desire, skills and reputation to lead the project - you get the knowledge by being part of it, and then you might get the culture too;). Add in a nonabusive temperament and the ability to convince others to be nonabusive and it's just easier to stick with Linus than to find an alternative;).
But yes this may reduce the number of contributors. Not many people _need_ to work on the Linux kernel and put up with abuse.
Use firefox with certificate patrol and disable the CAs that you don't trust.
On Windows Chrome and IE use the same cert infra. Go delete a CA's cert and then go visit the CA's https website with Chrome/IE. Watch the cert get readded;).
the latency of pretty much any keyboard will be max 10ms
Where's your evidence for that? USB is just at the interface level. There's plenty of other things going on in the keyboard between the key being pressed and the keyboard interface stuff.
10ms may be fine for normal use, but 1ms (about the lower limit for USB) would definitely be better for gaming. An additional 10ms will still be significant in many games and scenarios.
There's an important point you miss. The "error margin" doesn't go negative. It adds to the overall latency. If the total latency results in the final action being too slow by even only 1 millisecond it doesn't ever round down and become insignificant. It's too slow and thus significant.
So your "basic mathematics" are leading you to the wrong conclusion.
Maybe you can try stir fried brussel sprouts. Lightly fry them (with garlic, add soy sauce to taste) so they are still a bit crunchy. Some brussel sprouts are really too bitter... But the others are quite nice.
With those reaction time sites you can compare your reaction times on your different monitors and maybe try mouse vs keyboard too. The results might be interesting.
From what I see even for a game like Guild Wars 1 it does help. If you need to interrupt 750ms skills (like Word of Healing, Restore Condition) it all adds up.
Many interrupt skills often have an activation time of 250ms (as part of game play). So add go/"no go" reaction time of 300ms and maybe ping of 100, you get 650 which only leaves 100ms for everything else. If you're a mesmer with fast casting to reduce the activation time from 250 to 165ms you could have about 80ms more.
If your ping is 200 it doesn't leave you with much for the monitor and keyboard/mouse. If the latency is high you're stuck with guessing instead of using your reflexes.
Proven revenue stream for Microsoft has been: 1) Get computer makers to include windows preinstalled. 2) Encourage enterprises to buy Microsoft Office, Exchange and Windows Server.
The "proven" android style stuff is not going to sit well with many large organizations. And in fact may negatively affect their proven revenue stream.
If Microsoft starts requiring enterprise desktop users to have a Microsoft account they're going to get a lot of resistance. Especially with the NSA debacle.
I've had taxi drivers tell me they didn't want to go where I wanted to go. They're taxi drivers not slaves.
Maybe they think there'll be a bad traffic jam where I'm going and they won't make as much money. Or they're finishing their shift soon and want to be in a different area when they do. Or they want to head to another area which they think will make them more money.
Considering that workers in the US enjoy among the highest wages in the world I'd say pretty good
You'd have to compare "purchasing power" and/or inflation adjusted wages over time before and after the Chinese "robots" aka workers started being used.
High and going up = things getting better for the workers. High but going down = things getting worse for the workers.
The second and relevant one here is if labor costs are high. The fact that Chinese firms are finding it viable to automate means that millions of people are being pulled from poverty.
High relative to alternatives. Are the Chinese "robots"/workers causing millions of Americans being pulled to become richer than they were before?
If the answer is no (and it seems to be no from the census figures), then why would cheaper and cheaper robots cause more and more Chinese people to be richer in the future?
And for the "All Apps" menu do you still need to tell users that they should go to the start screen then right click to get the All Apps menu? How were "normal users" supposed to figure that one out? And how do you logout now?
Discoverability in Windows 8 is way lower than older versions of Windows.

Don't know about mod, but you can do polyphony and more complicated sounds:

You can use .test, .example, .localhost and .invalid. ...and nobody will bother you if you use, for example, ".invalid" for your internal domains.
Some CEOs and PHBs might ;).
I actually tried to get a TLD reserved for "RFC1918" style use about 12+ years ago: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yeoh-tldhere-01
I also tried the ICANN but they weren't interested either. And when they approved stuff like .biz, .info. I got the impression they weren't really interested in improving the Internet from a technical aspect but more interested in $$$$. Did the creation of .biz etc really help the Internet that much?
Maybe others may have more success trying it now?
No. .local is for different usage:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6762
Sure took them a long while to reserve that too.
I proposed reserving a "RFC1918" like TLD about 12+ years ago, but there was not enough interest: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yeoh-tldhere-01
I did try via the ICANN (emailed them to ask them to reserve it). But the ICANN were more interested in "yet another dotcom tld" like .biz .info.

I don't think profanity and abuse is necessary. The Postgresql team has produced decent software without much profanity or abuse (see their mailing lists archives: http://www.postgresql.org/search/?m=1&q=fuck&l=1&d=-1&s=r ).
Once a project has a culture of abuse it's hard to change it esp in an OSS project. There aren't that many people with the knowledge, desire, skills and reputation to lead the project - you get the knowledge by being part of it, and then you might get the culture too ;).

So far it seems PC input devices can and do vary a lot in latency:
http://www.blackboxtoolkit.com/responsedevices.html
http://www.pstnet.com/eprimedevice.cfm
Yes these bunch might be trying to sell something, but in my own personal experience mice and keyboards definitely vary in lag, and it can be in tens of milliseconds.
10ms may be fine for normal use, but 1ms (about the lower limit for USB) would definitely be better for gaming. An additional 10ms will still be significant in many games and scenarios.
There's an important point you miss. The "error margin" doesn't go negative. It adds to the overall latency. If the total latency results in the final action being too slow by even only 1 millisecond it doesn't ever round down and become insignificant. It's too slow and thus significant.

There ARE input devices out there with significant amounts of lag: http://www.pstnet.com/eprimedevice.cfm

FWIW I prefer the "chinese" brussel sprouts (aka "choy tham"). They look like this cooked: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vLGu3WWT2eg/TIk5YiQBu7I/AAAAAAAAPic/z-R6sec4Kn0/s400/2010-09-94.jpg
More leafy - not round.

Well that's probably why the submitter is asking the question in the first place - to figure out which keyboards might actually be better ;).

because it assumes an active, competent administrator is thinking and making decisions
I rely on Tom Lane being awake at 4am or whatever to help fix some rare weird Postgresql error ;).
Yeah. More and more stuff is software nowadays. So much so that nowadays, Software is stuff you configure. Hardware is stuff other people configure ;).
To nongeeks a lot of PC stuff is hardware. To us less so. To some elite hacker most of it is software.
CPUs can be patched after release ( https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?lang=eng&DwnldID=14303 ). Same goes for drives and even some mice.

Thing is with the MPAA etc the way they are, wouldn't it be risky to use your phone obtrusively while the movie is going on? They might think you're trying to record the movie: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/01/AR2007080102398.html

You'd have to compare "purchasing power" and/or inflation adjusted wages over time before and after the Chinese "robots" aka workers started being used.
High and going up = things getting better for the workers.
High but going down = things getting worse for the workers.
See the median and mean incomes: http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/data/historical/household/2011/H06AR_2011.xls
When did the Chinese workers start to really come "on line" (and outsourcing begin)? Maybe it's not a marked downward trend but it sure doesn't look as bright as you suggest.
The second and relevant one here is if labor costs are high. The fact that Chinese firms are finding it viable to automate means that millions of people are being pulled from poverty.
High relative to alternatives. Are the Chinese "robots"/workers causing millions of Americans being pulled to become richer than they were before?
If the answer is no (and it seems to be no from the census figures), then why would cheaper and cheaper robots cause more and more Chinese people to be richer in the future?
Maybe it's because of the trade deficit (starting at about 1998?): http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/statistics/historical/
But that might be related - it could mean in future the people that own the robots would become richer as the rest become poorer and have a "trade deficit" with the robot owners. And even if the robots and robot owners are in the US doesn't mean that most US people would own the robots: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505124_162-57578162/robots-are-going-to-take-your-job/
Think of the Chinese factory workers as robots doing repetitive tasks. How well has that worked out for the workers in the USA?
Wonderful?
