The Oberon operating system uses special clicks like in Opera for years. For example, clicking the left mouse botton while marking text with the right button deletes the marked text. The Oberon mouse has 3 buttons, and most possibilities of interclicking are actually used.
This is very powerful, once your used to it.

Your comment is moderated as funny. But, actually, I did exactly that several number of times, while doing my programming homework and other stuff. Once your experienced, you are in fact faster than if your programming alone. A friend who jumps immediately to the same place is even better than an emacs shortcut.
You go to a liberal arts school and learn computer science so that you know that Joseph Leibnitz defined God in terms of the many
worlds theory described in the second paragraph of the bogo-sort definition.
I am sorry, but you're confusing two things. What Leibnitz said, was that we live in the best of all possible worlds. This bases on the idea that god would never make a world which is not as perfect as possible, as this would be stupid and non ratioal. Therefore, somehow, all the war, the hunger and the bad luck on earth is necessary.
What the multiworld theory of quantum mechanics says is that every time you do a quantum mechanical measurement, you 'split the universe'.
To get on topic again: I learned all this in my education of computer science. Obviously we can do it also the other way round. We use computer science as a major a learn physic and philosophy as a minor...
You may be able to become a programmer anytime, but you can't become a computer scientist anytime.
Whats the difference? A programmer can program, a computer scientist solves problems. I first need to see that guy which uses the same algorithms as I do, does the same design as I do and did learn to program on his job. I need to find the guy, who does never ever use bogo-sort but learned programming on the fly. I don't know him yet.
I dispute that the it's[One time pad] *provably* secure. If you you have a proof, or a reference please post.
You asked for it, you get it. First, I'll explain what a one time pad is:
Assume, that I (Alice) want to send Bob the bit string "1001010110101...1", with length of a few million bits. Because it is secret, I remember the secret bit string of the same length we prepared a year ago. It was "0001010100101...1".
I never told anybout about this secret string. No one knows it, except Bob and me. Now, I just send the XOR of both strings to it: 1000000010000...0.
(I nicely ordered the strings and showed the relationship, but I could not post it because of a stupid./ filter)
When I only use the secret key once, I can call this one time pad, and it is completely secure. All an adversary can find is the length of the message.
If you still want a prove (most people belive that it is unbreakable now), then you can show it using Entropy and Information: The Information you have about the message when you know the encrypted message is: I(m; e). It equals the information about the Message if you know only the Key I(m; k) and this is 0 because the two strings are completely unrelated.
You have to start with the premise that you have a client/server interface, and anything on the client side is fair. All "unfairness" must be addressed on the server side and the server side alone. Otherwise, you're fooling yourself, and are going to be plagued with "cheaters."
You can definitely do that. Unfortunately, by doing so the game looses players, IMHO. While before everyone was invited to play, only people which are skilled programmers can now play your game. Many people will improve the client, and chances are good that not all changes will be available to the public. Therefore, someone who does not program does not stand a chance in this game.
EVERYONE speeds. Why? Because most highway speed limits are unreasonably low for the
conditions and design of the road.
Exactly. But why are the highway limits unreasonably low for the conditions and design of the road? Because everyone speeds.
Therefore, we must assume, that if nobody speeds anymore, we can actually increase the speed limit. Furthermore, because most speed limits are designed for wet conditions, we could hope, that the speed limit will be even more increased on dry days -- that would be easy to do!

Do you really think, there is one program out there, which can read all the .doc-files??
And, btw. could you please tell your concern to micro$oft, so they will publish the word file format? Thanks...
that this page dates April 1st 1999....
Could you deobfuscate the answer? Using log(7.39) = 2.0001 and log(6.011) = 1.793 I am stuck getting two, which is obviously not the right answer...
