I haven't, but it surely look like crap. Supposedly the top of the line model, but
The keyboard is all wrong, their chiclets may not be that bad but the layout is awful.
And what about the display? I shines like glass, I don't want to see my face on the display, I'm not a vampire!
It's like they made this model to experiment introducing changes that will make the thinkpad just like a macbook with no rounded corners, I hope nobody buys it because I don't want future thinkpads to be cheap apple clones.
A while ago they introduced some small and well studied design changes (T400 keyboard, new touchpad). But, WTF is this? Find out why people choose your computers and improve it, don't fuck it.
but there is no reason any other interpreted language could not be adapted to have a similarly obfuscated deliverable form.
In fact, Scala, Clojure and probably some other, are languages that compile to Java Bytecode that runs on the same virtual machine.
Also there are interpreters for many languages that were made in java (Ruby, Python, groovy, js), some of these interpreters support JIT compilation.
Java popularity may be decreasing, but its platform it's becoming more popular.
It may still not be as fast as native code, but runs on most platforms and has acceptable speed.
You can contact This guy, as I'm told he fixed any kind of keyboards with Alps switches, specially Northgates.
Otherwise you could try to fix it yourself, as a mechanical keyboard you could replace the broken spring with the spring of another switch (a less used key like Scroll-Lock or PrintScreen). Alps switches can be disassembled without having to desolder from the PCB, give it a try.

The model before M was the model F that came with the original PC, the XT and the AT. The quality was even better but expensive.
So, in fact the Model M was a compromise to produce a cheaper buckling spring model for the PS/2.
I agree on that an IDE debugger is one of it strongest advantages, and it's not fault of the language the need for it. Nevertheless I don't think debug mode is a good strategy for developing, I think it's better to use TDD, even to resolve bugs, create a test trying to reproduce the error and see the assert failure message or exception message to delimit where the problem is. Most of the time, in my experience, the problem seems evident looking at the code, if not, I use the debugger while running my test. Once it's fixed I already have a test case to ensure the bug never happens again.
Have you tried Vrapper?. It integrates very well with Eclipse as it's implemented as a filter that runs over any text editor, so it does not interfere with any eclipse functionality.
Not all vim functionality is implemented yet but the most common stuff is there.
Looks like consumerism, a new luxury is created by media/culture and a few years later the market has it ready for you, you've been waiting for it, so it becomes a need you cannot live without.
Ok, but doesn't jQuery 2.0 have some new feature not present on 1.9?
Maybe my application needs that feature, maybe I can avoid using it, but then, what's the point of using the new version of the library?
It's strange that an xkcd can be so misleading, but this time it is.
The "securer" password has a smaller character space, which means that it's 26 possible characters to the power of the length.
The other, has a wider character space; 26 lower case letters, 26 upper case, 10 numbers and 32 symbols (at least directly accessible on a US keyboard layout).
In this case the second password needs more combinations to be cracked just because it's longer, but if the same password would have had the character space of the first one, it would need ~9e13 times more combinations to test.
Crackers will always incrementally wide the character space, first all lower case, then start trying more possibilities. And they also use rainbow tables, and it's even easier if it puts dictionary words.
I personally find much more difficult to remember random words sequences.

Be thankful. If it weren't for C, we'd still be programming in OBOL, BASI, and PASAL

tell me about it.
Search for Cherry MX Brown Switches, that should be what you are looking for.
That or a Realforce keyboard.

We just need health on the left and ammo on the right.
A researcher named Jackson (with the help of his brothers) came to the conclusion that it was simple as 1-2-3.
This cannot be truth because spreadsheet software wasn't available until the 80's.
Just imagine a Beowulf cluster of these. We would be able to weight millions of molecules at the same time!

... and this is not a fair market.
But, does it come with a good text editor?
"You look like you are writing a suicide note..." and now with ads for rope, guns, cheap Canadian pharmacies...
Quite the contrary, this technology avoids selling guns to the depressed consumer. It's bad for business.
I image how interesting it would be to have this info accessible through a public API.

The changes where so good that they had to increase the major version number!
