    Rape is allowed, as long as you pay the woman's father a fine and then marry her...

    Becoming impoverished and then getting stuck with the woman whose life you made miserable? Sounds like a fate worse than the death penalty.

  2. Re:RSI/CTS Concerns? on Cherry MX Mechanical Keyboard Switches Compared · · Score: 1

    Thanks. It was the buckling spring switches that concerned me since they were the most interesting to me, but I'll probably forgo them for a Cherry brown.

  3. RSI/CTS Concerns? on Cherry MX Mechanical Keyboard Switches Compared · · Score: 1

    I've been ever eager to get back into mechanical keyboards, but I realize I'm already getting to the point where I'm suffering slight wrist issues, and I'm worried the increased tension and key stroke depth from mechanical keyboards would only exacerbate the problem. Am I correct in this assumption?

    Incorrect about lung capacity; they do not increase it. Rather, they slowly wither away the lungs, causing the body to adapt to the new changes and therefore conform by retrieving oxygen from other varied sources (e.g. cigarettes). It's the biggest reason why cigarettes are the preferred remedy for those suffering from asthma.

    This doesn't make sense. The US is neither old nor wise, and I certainly wouldn't have doubts about its intent on robbing, either.

    And quite franky, sir, I find your stereotype towards the size and character of Chinese people offensive.

  19. Re:Non-grandfather here also interested on Ask Slashdot: a Good Geek Project For My Arthritic Grandfather? · · Score: 1

    Preaching to the choir, I guess, but audiophiles attribute it to the amount of "color" it gives sound. Monitor headphones and the amps like the aforementioned Denon are colorless because they're designed simply to produce raw, unfettered sound, which is essential for post-editing and mixing. Colored sound is what one wants when they want to, er, 'enjoy' sound, and it all varies on how the sound is colored.

    Right now I'm personally looking for IEMs, and heading towards Etymotic stuff for their clarity and the lack of color they give, but the good thing is if I ever want to add color to it I can use particular amps to do so.

    The color thing is also the reason why many audophiles go bonkers over vinyl as opposed to digital, because of the warmth it adds.

    I think he's implying that the cheese sauce is the effort needed to implement it. IPv6 sounds ever increasingly delicious, that is until you get to where you actually need to lift up a finger to add it to your network, in which case then that delectable chocolate vanilla cake has been soured by the cheddar of corporate laziness.
