Hehheh - funny guy!:)
No, it's because they will inevitably switch from one hand to another at least once or twice in the course of the meal as I eat/drink/pass somebody something/scribble on a napkin/refill my tea/etc.
While it is true that the medical profession does have the shittiest handwriting there are actually several reasons for it.
Number one is the curse of familiarity (maybe that should read cursive familiarity?:).
E.g. Take a look at your own signature. It looks like crap because you've written it a bazillion times and it's "good enough".
Same thing happens when a doc writes the same dozen or so prescriptions day in and day out for years on end.
The other major factor is that doctors are busy! Prescriptions are often written while standing, walking, or at some strange angle on the nearest convenient surface.
But yeah, it would be nice if docs had forearm keyboards with wireless links or something...
What about those of us who are ambidextrous?
Of course I am also a computer geek who can talk to interior decorators and enjoys shopping with the GF, so maybe I'm just "overdeveloped".:)
Woohoo! You tell 'em girl!:)
I'm one of those single etc. guys myself (though I was married once and am engaged now) but I came to America with absolutely nothing when I was 17 and, without ever getting a degree, now make $75k.
It's totally doable! Y'just gotta, well, everything you said...!:)
There's just way too much that people think they "need"...
Not that the pick exists yet of course, but the simple fact that it uses light routes makes it pickable.
Since the light needs transceivers on either end and a physical interface in between for the key all you need to do is make a key with its own transceivers instead of simple light pipes (you'd probably have light-pipes out to an external device which would house a computer "brain" and the transceivers).
So you simply put the key in (or connect it or whatever the physical interface is) and let the computer start routing the inputs to different combinations of outputs.
It would be like the brute-force picker that Medeco has for their locks only maybe a lot faster!
However, having designed a pick, I can also think of half a dozen ways to slow it down enough to make it unuseable.:)
(If they're smart enough to figure out how to email me maybe I'll even tell them.:)
If you actually bothered to read the stuff on his site you'd find that most of it is pure common sense distilled into a readable fashion and applied specifically to the job-seeking process.
Seriously, as is so often posted in other threads here - RTFA! (Or in this case RTFW!:)
FYI - The whole "hemp is illegal" issue came about because cotton growers (a surprisingly large political power even today) felt threatened by this new plant that grew faster, required less maintenance and produced more (and softer) fibers.
But instead of saying "Hey, wow, this is a great product, let's switch!" they instead said "Hmm, this might require us changing the way we do things, must be bad!" and lobbied for bills making it illegal to grow ALL forms of Cannabis, not just the ones that make you high.
Smoking industrial hemp in sufficient quantity might make you sick but you won't get high off it...
My point is that the existence of the Gates Foundation, especially in light of Microsoft's continued predatory business practices, shouldn't qualify him for knighthood.
However, someone did clarify elsewhere in here that it is not a "real" knighthood but rather the much more reasonable "pat on the head" variety that gets handed out as political favors.
Dyolf Knip:...is there something about being in a collar that being in a pocket or a belt buckle can't do?
gt384u:...Last I checked, you do most of your communication and perception through your head.
Judging by some of the trolls on here there are fucks, um, I mean "folks", who do most of their communication and perception through their pocket and belt buckle!
Bill Gates...donated 26 billion dollars to malaria research....Does it make him deserving of Knighthood? I'd certainly say so.
Correction, the "Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation" donated that money (and a great deal more to other worthy causes).
I agree that the Foundation is a Good Thing.
However, Bill is not now, and never has been, involved with the running of the foundation. In fact, it wouldn't even exist today if Ted Turner hadn't publicly shamed him into doing it!
1 - Use NMap to find all your SSL hosts. 2 - Sniff packets to/from those hosts (you're in a position to connect to them anyway I presume) and log all the connection handshakes. 3 - Process the logs to get a nice list of hosts and certs.
Repeat every couple of days for two or three weeks to catch dev servers and the like which might be offline periodically and voila'!
Looking at the feature list it appears not to have that functionality built in. I.e. you would have to use the Perl function hook which it provides to write your own code for that.
Not to mention that a third of their outstanding shares are shorted right now. Everybody's trying to borrow shares so they can short them.
It's not a "short squeeze" but has the same effect. Kind of neat watching, actually...
A previous reply indicates a history of trolling, but I do see some good stuff in there as well.
However, while I certainly believe the quoted test results I think we need a little more evidence. Like maybe the name of your company?
Or how about posting the test results somewhere (anonymously of course)?
Or even just some details on the testing methodology...
Thanks!

Go to your favorite new or used bookstore and buy one of those first-grade hand-writing primers and practice! :)

It works on the ground as well. (Made lots of $, er C, in school that way :).

In other words you still haven't looked at the site. :)
What's really amazing is the problem with spam is so bad that Microsoft is working with other's to finally resolve it.
Next time RTFA before you respond. There is no mention of that in the article. If anything it's worded to the contrary...

Now that's what I call good editing.
Yeah, well, that's what happens when you run something through the Department of Repetitive Redundancy Office.
Get away from teh evils of Adobe and PDF - use real formats, formats that are interoperable, open, and friendly to informaton sharing.
Not only a Troll but an AC Troll at that!
(PDF is an open standard)
Paper industry and cotton are pretty closely tied, actually. (Think how often the label on a ream of paper proudly proclaims "100% Cotton".)
:)
I've never heard of Dow Chemical being involved, but who knows? Maybe some muckety-muck at Dow was buddies with a cotton magnate at the time.

You too can write random garbage all over your disks!

I was referring to his posting history, which is presumably where the previous AC had gotten the idea that he is a troll.
