    Luckily they come with a temporary soft reset button which when manipulated properly gives you x amount of freedom from those memories. X of course varies from woman to woman and skill of the user.

    Maybe consumers are realizing just how disgusting and fake implants look and the horrid way in which they move and so consumers are flocking to free, non-'enhanced' amateurs?

    80 WPM is just hitting the lower bar when it comes to efficiency, it means nothing. They don't know how to move properly either. Anytime you feel pain doing something where the majority of people don't, you're doing it incorrectly. A lot of people now a days don't have the necessary flexibility in their shoulders to align their wrists properly. The problem with the people who get RSI is that, unlike you, they aren't smart enough to find another method that doesn't cause pain, they keep doing it because they believe they're doing it 'the correct way'. The real intelligent ones don't change the method, they change the manner in which they use their body so that no pain results. This type of posture change though is a pretty big one in terms of personality change, so most people stay away from changing it (shoulders have a lot to do with paranoia and defence).

    Know your limits. You don't know anything about security so leave it to experts. All your ideas will not prevent any thefts. Get insurance, maybe hidef cameras to record intruders and leave the rest to police. If they're doing illegal things, well, then go to hell.

    Seriously, how is anybody supposed to know how their system is deficient or how to prevent further break.ins without knowing the merchandise which is attracting robbers and how their system was compromised?

    Logically thought out and ergonomically thought out are two very different things! Besides the odd cases of people wanting familiar windows or vi mappings it seems practically every single desire to change bindings is because of pain and the physical akwardness of the bindings. One could argue that the bindings are actually very poorly thought out because they give high priority to things that really don't deserve priority.

    What a bad idea. Why insist everybody does that just to satisfy your needs? It's trivial to write a bit of elisp to save their keymap and load your own. Having your configuration on usb or online is even better.

    I've never understood why someone would type with their ring or pinky fingers. The few times I had teachers try to get me to type "correctly" it hurt immensely.

    Maybe because/some of us have normal range of motion that allows us to use all our fingers? Just because you don't know how to move your body properly doesn't mean others are the same.

    As a scientific person I can't ever see how someone can award grades subjectively in creative subjects. Like, who could fail art school? I think for the most part it is just busy work. And if your instructor thinks you put in an adequate amount of work, you get passed.

    Did you know you didn't write what you meant? Therein lies your problem, YOU do not understand the technical aspects of creation or writing.

    You're too funny. I'm just acting like you!

    Like I said it's precise and doesn't extend USian naming stupidities. Want to see a properly named country, the united states of mexico. United states of america is just egotistical, narcissistic, and factually incorrect. USian's aren't used to correcting their naming stupidities like calling natives Indians for centuries after knowing they weren't in India. They actually tried to make Indian the proper word for natives of a land!

    Just because something has gone on for centuries, which is your only argument, doesn't mean we should continue the stupidity or prop up their narcissism. If they didn't think they were god's gift to the world and that their solution to everything was perfect and must be forced onto the rest of us the World wouldn't be in such a bad state. ...possibly another bad state, but definitely not the current bad state of financial meltdown, pollution, unhealthy obesity, wars on everything, etc...
