I was trained to touch-type in Canada in 1988. I use almost exactly the fingerings described by your bottom diagram.
It's possible that I was merely a poor student, however I believe that is also how I was taught.
The one thing I *don't* do that I was taught is shift-hand alternation; i.e. right-hand shift with left-hand characters, and vice-versa. I tend to over-use the left shift key.
This is only true for long distance. Telus calls -- or at last those that don't leave the exchange -- are not VoIP. I'd also be surprised to find out that local exchanges were interconnected with VoIP.
Are you actually trying to tell me that you really believe that microsoft was shipping a browser that could embed ActiveX controls prior to netscape shipping a browser with NPAPI?
Because I'm pretty damn sure that's not the case. ISTR ActiveX not shipping 'till the 3.0 browsers, but NPAPI shipping with Netscape 2.
Who had birds up before Inmarsat? Because I'm pretty sure both Dokomo NTT and AT&T had cellular offerings before Inmarsat was installing voice phones in ships.

This is simple. SoftLayer sells bandwidth to UK2. UK2 sells to the CDN.
Now, SoftLayer charges 5 times what UK2 does for the same bandwidth. UK2 is clearly in the over-sell-the-bandwidth business.
Whoever came up with that business model imagined normal website usage, not a CDN. When they were going through the books last week, they noticed they were bleeding serious (and probably dangerous) amounts of cash to one customer. When they looked at the customer, they said, "Holy shit! They are basically re-selling our service! They are leeches bleeding us dry!"
(normal website usage normally has a peaky usage cycle, CDNs can probably maintain a much flatter line -- and the area under the curve is probably where UK2 pays SoftLayer)
So, SoftLayer says, "Shit! These guys pissed us off and are costing us big time money! Get them off the network! Update the TOS to get right of them and use the we-can-change-it-to-suit-us clause to do it now!"
This is a little bit like your local ISP discovering that you are selling WiFi to all your neighbours for a quarter miles around -- they are going to turf you if you refuse to stop, even if they didn't think to add that as a bad behaviour in their TOS.
(And notice that the NOC poster did say that UK2 said they would take them back if they stopped being a CDN)
He's an arrogant cocksucker who thinks it's reasonable to ruin the web because somebody pointed out that somebody else said something about him that ruined his feelings.

Back-in-the-day, Sun refused to sell me some spanky new E450s because they weren't certified to run Sun Cluster. So I had to buy some (cheaper!) Ultra 2s intead.
Of course, the E450s were certified by the time the Ultra 2s arrived, I knew damn well certification was right around the corner, and I needed the hardware a good six months before we had to have the cluster live anyhow.
Then Sun found out that I bought the stuff from my offices in one city, and wanted the stuff delivered to my data center in another. That actually caused a month-long delay on a bunch of the hardware as two Sun "sales regions" fought it out amongst themselves as to who should get the commission.
Jesus, what a pain dealing with those guys was. Now I deal mostly with a used equipment vendor specializing in off-lease crap who will actually sell me whatever it is I ask for. Way easier. I just pick up the phone, tell him what I want, and a couple of days later it shows up at whatever data center I want.
When smart people like us moderate, the sheeple moderators just copy what we're doing.
So, as long as a few minutes pass between our moderation and our discussion, our moderation *does* in fact have an effect -- it's just not a direct effect.
Scott's comments were with a pre-Solaris (SVR4) view point, I think. He makes the case that in the early nineties, Sun was to BSD as RedHat was to Linux today (bubble ignored).
Another way to look at this is that by adding codegen that can do some kind of type specialization that they are seeing similar benefits to Mozilla's tracing JIT. If Kraken happens to benefit most from this class of optimizations, then the observations made could simply be the result of good code on Google's part, with no subterfuge or optimizing-for-the-benchmark going on.

How old is your AMO account database entry? If it's newer than 2009, it's really unlikely they managed to crack the SHA-256.
It's much more likely that your gmail account got cracked because Chinese hackers spend A LOT of effort in mass-cracking gmail accounts.
> Bonus points if you change your passwords once in a while.
I change my "Lev6" passwords now and again, and those are the only ones I write down -- because they DON'T have password recovery mechanisms.
I write them down in my phone, which I keep on me at all times, and a trusted friend knows how to retrieve them in case I get killed.
The reason I change them now and again is because I occasionally lose my phone... :/
The NSA and MasterCard
> We aren't going to change those factors, no matter how much others think we should. Its a non-starter.
On the plus side, you might have a climate warm enough to grow Cane Sugar in the corn belt within the next 50 years.
So, it's not *all* bad news!

I can't believe you just implied that Northern Irish children are too stupid to use a VPN.
Shame on you! It's people like you that cause Troubles!

NPAPI and JavaScript beat ActiveX and VBScript to market.
NTT Dokomo deployed AMPS-like cellular in Japan in 1979.
So I still want to know who the OP claims preceded cellular with satellite.
> umm.. the sat phones came before cell phones

They work just fine.

How about Canada?
I'll do a good job, eh?
Scott's comments were with a pre-Solaris (SVR4) view point, I think. He makes the case that in the early nineties, Sun was to BSD as RedHat was to Linux today (bubble ignored).
I think that's a reasonable characterization.
Thanks for the note -- FWIW those tuning options should work well pretty much anywhere, as he's demonstrating how to turn on whole-application PGO.
I guess I'm one of the lucky few with no DB workload issues; my DB server hums along at about a ~1.0 load average on a v240 during busy hour.
Of course, my workload is 98% select, no stored procedures, no triggers, no joins, few transactions...
