that's pretty, though I can't see it being any more useful than my Keysonic Ultra which, while it uses low-travel keys and membrane switching (it is definitely not built for touch typing), is completely devoid of backlights and has a fixed USB connector, is functionally identical.
...apparently IBM didn't actually build the M13, it was built variously under licence by Lexmark (who build keyboards for Dell as well), MaxiSwitch and Unicomp. Dell used the GHB button a LOT on the Latitude and Inspiron prosumer laptop lines (I have many examples). I call it the "clitoris" because most of my clients didn't even know what it was for and those who did generally didn't know how to use it. Protip: it's an electrostatic pressure sensor, not a joystick. Forcing it to move deforms the baseplate and can in some circumstances actually break the sensor. Light pressure is enough to move the cursor.
mine's similar but with more buttons and it's Bluetooth. It's the best brickboard ever, useful for all occasions (I write, I game and I bounce around spreadsheet type layouts a LOT). For perfection, it needs an ergonomic bend, that's all.
no, follow the home column up toward the middle: left is FT6, right is JU7. 6 is a quarter closer to F than to J on a straight board, why would it be closer to J on a bent board??
FWIW the method I learned with (basically sat in front of a BBC micro and learned by hammering the shit out of the keytboard until it broke) had me using left middle finger for 6, every single time (helps when your middles are half a knuckle longer than the thirds). Never ever been pulled up about that.
oh, so Putin invaded three countries immediately following the world trade centre incident on the pretext of finding the one man they held responsible? No wait, that was the United States. Putin bombed Serbia? No, wait, that was the United States. Putin aided in bloody coups against legitimately elected Governments in Liberia, Haiti, Somalia, Syria, Libya, Egypt? No, all the United States.
considering Nottinghamshire Police's repeatedly-stalled and frankly corrupted-from-day-one investigation into current and historical systemic child abuse is named "Operation Daybreak". Which, by the way, has yet to produce a single prosecution after four years, twelve arrests, four police bailments, less than three hundred statements, 75 interviews under caution, and the PCC's refusal to disclose staffing or budget dedication to the ongoing operation. Instead what we have is in the case of at least two survivors, constant and unremitting persecution by the police when they name SERVING senior police officers as abusers. Melanie Shaw: jailed for a fire that didn't happen, found guilty by a directed jury (I was there, I heard the judge direct the jury and I heard the verdict delivered in a closed courtroom) and now missing presumed abducted by police (they will not confirm having even had contact with her, never mind the fact that they are already on record committing perjury to lock her away to stop her talking), and Michael Summers, whose complete account is reproduced here: http://news.truthjuice.co.uk/?... (warning: his capslock key is stuck).
I don't think Putin's an asshole, I think he's being scapegoated. If he extends the hand of friendship to Greece it's not going to be out of patriotic duty or simple humanity though, that will be his one asshole move, just to piss off Obabma, Merkel and Cameron. I will be sitting up in my box fucking applauding the man.
look for a product called "xylitol". It's a natural sugar alcohol that occurs in herbs such as spearmint. It's also nutritionally negative (it contains fewer calories than it requires for metabolism - which the human body does readily) and the ONLY byproducts are carbon dioxide and water. There is no formaldehyde or methanol interstage.

There are numbers greater than zero, and high enough to not be anomalous to directly disprove your claim of the benign nature of aspartame. However, not enough double blind studies have been done, most importantly by those seeking to prove the absolute safety (as so often claimed) of the chemical for the food industry, so in the absence of such studies and in the face of plenty of anecdotal evidence and suggestion by small studies (100 sampled) that it is in fact harmful in more ways than it is beneficial, I would tend to err on the side of caution. What you do is up to you. I would ask that you read the studies for yourself before jumping bandwagons and decide for yourself if the evidence of harm directly attributable to aspartame is significant enough to warrant a nudge away from the partyline.
on your last point, and this might seem a little pedantic, but a death certificate is an official document, ergo issuing a counterfeit or otherwise bogus certificate is technically fraud and possession of a fraudulent instrument, the latter of which carries a minimum term of ten years. To get hammered on that times a hundred (they'll actually run five as specimen charges in English courts) will increase the likelihood of you being smacked down for the maximum term (which by virtue of case law based around the Human Rights Act is greatly reduced) of anywhere between time served + 15 to 25 years less time for good behaviour. Bit risky to hawk some handsets...
people born with the condition Phenylketonuria don't need to hit any sort of LD50 for aspartame, even tiny amounts will cause a violent reaction.
As someone prone to hypoglycaemia, I have to avoid aspartame because it is known through peer-reviewed study to cause wild fluctuations in serum insulin, and I don't want to take the risk of going full-blown diabetic because of something I could have avoided. It also causes me crippling migraines that through process of elimination I have managed to discount EVERY OTHER POSSIBLE CAUSE.
There's your evidence.

aha... I learned something new today:) Actually, I sort of knew about laches but couldn't remember what it was called. Having used it a couple times, too. I must be going senile.
stenography uses what, sixteen keys? No less than two of which (the thumbs I guess) are exclusive control characters, which puts you down to 14. With a dedicated stenotype board you can hit 255wpm with no problem once you get used to the shorthand (some people can hit 300. I do just fine at 110 on a standard QWERTY). That's fast enough to transcribe a lively debate in real time. There are open source stenotype packages out there that allow you to remap a standard QWERTY and with a little creative keytop swapping you can be a stenographer in the comfort of your mom's basement. Plover is one such package.
the single biggest cause of shooting deaths outside of warfare are with weapons that were assumed to be unloaded. (source: every civilian hospital that has to deal with self inflicted and other-inflicted gunshot wounds and every police authority that collects data on firearms incidents)
You know that they say "assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups"? When you fuck up with a firearm, people get dead.
Not on my watch. I've been training with firearms for ten years, and have not had a single reportable incident of any sort. The closest anybody has ever gotten with me was in breaking my #1 Rule of Range: NEVER ASSUME THAT A WEAPON IS SAFE. Flag that fucking breech or get the fuck off my line. I've kicked experienced (even very high ranking) police officers off my range for breaking that one. None got a second chance. When you're putting peoples lives at risk through your stupidity, I don't want you anywhere near me.
When I stopped training police in 2011 I also handed off the reins to my shooting club to a new member's board. Within a MONTH they had taken the thus-far-blank incident book and FILLED IT with equipment damage, stolen weapons, stolen ammunition, no less than four shot-off digits and two police raids, the second of which resulted in the seizure of off-ticket large calibre pistols and the shutdown of the club. Like I said, not on my watch.

right there. That's ten digits right there that aren't being used.
I think we just doubled the productivity of every office workstation on the entire fucking planet.

no, the question was do I know what the word "accidentally" means.
yes, I do, and the word does NOT apply to firearms. EVER.
aha... I learned something new today :) Actually, I sort of knew about laches but couldn't remember what it was called. Having used it a couple times, too. I must be going senile.
yeah, kinda awkward when it comes to apologising in the event of an accidental firing though...

I had to look that one up.
Touché.
no such thing as an accidental shooting.
(disclosure: I am a police-approved firearms trainer).
uh, it is, it's called fraud by misrepresentation.
