That's funny, my mom, my sister, and my boss (and I) all seem to use grafitti on our Palm computers just fine. My 4 year old niece uses the popup keyboard though. I'm not making this up.

The problem with the GBA screen is not so much that it wasn't lit (unless you play in the dark of course) it was that the front window was built like a mirror so your face would be brighter than the screen behind it. I think if they could have reduced the glare the screen would have been much better right off the bat.
It's chronological... the Lost Tales consist of the earliest work written in pencil in the trenches during WW2... by the time you get to the very last C.Tolkien book, you get to the last writing on middle earth including the first (and only) chapter that JRR Tolkien started on a LOTR sequel.
I think a great number of people love to see how Tolkien created his masterpiece(s). He managed to keep all his various drafts on paper and wrote down why he made changes etc. No one is forcing you to read them though.
Interesting. I don't use emacs so I wasn't aware of the modal behavior. It is less modal than vi though. (BTW, Hey greenrd, nice seeing a familiar k5 "face" on slashdot... I enjoy your articles and comments since I tend to agree with your political positions.)
And I was so psyched when I found out they were making it open source... unfortunately it's only for MacOS and CodeWarrior at that. Any questions I had about which files to compile into what projects were unanswered and I gave up a long time ago.
It has a section of the API called ClanGUI as well as ClanGL and ClanGUI works with ClanGL. However this project is often buggy and incomplete. Might be worth looking at though if you don't mind submitting bug reports (or patches for that matter!). I use ClanLib and ClanGL in a game I'm working on.
I've seen the line "PowerMenu has shut off the screen to prevent burn in" (paraphrased) burned into each of the 25 text lines on a monitor. The program moved the text between lines to prevent burning in one line, and burned in 25 lines instead.
There's an "anime" shop near here that sells a bunch of Japanese imported CDs. Pretty cool but you have to wonder why they can import and sell them for only $12 a piece. The booklet printing never seems that good and I'm inclined to believe they are bootlegs. Not CDRs but bootlegs anyway.

After giving it a lot of thought, I finally decided to get the Nintendo Game Cube. My Super Nintendo did all right by me, so I figured a Super Super Nintendo would probably do even better. Anyway, what the Game Cube lacks in race games it more than makes up for in zombie games. Not only does it have Resident Evil, but there's also Eternal Darkness. I took a hard look at the cash I'd socked away and decided I had enough for a Game Cube plus one game. I got Eternal Darkness because, unlike Resident Evil, you can only get that for the Game Cube. You see, Jim Anchower enjoys the finer things in life, and there's not much finer than a video game that's exclusive to the very system that you happen to own.

Well, my mod of "Troll" on your post was just modded as "Fair". Probably because your sig looks like you are submitting those links in your sig (what looks like some porn though I'm not going to click on it) as an example, like you are trying to get people to click on it.

Did you learn to type to use the computer?

Looks like this guys route takes him right by my house... I'll have to keep an eye out.

WRONG. Vim is modal. It is completely unlike THE. Emacs on the other hand...

As opposed to kung fu fighting and gunplay? What's your point?
try the edditor 'ed', i've heard good things about it.
ED is the standard text editor!
One guy was responsible for leaded gasoline and freon. Thanks a lot dude!

PS Sorry about the "dickwad" comment. :)
Don't be such a dickwad. His review is hilarious... try reading it.
I recognize the EverAnime logo... they definitely carry pirated products.

Would you ask your wife if she'll marry me?
Just kidding. Awesome reply though.
Adult games huh?

This would be an extension of that... one version of unix reimplementing something that is already in linux.
Those who don't use Linux are doomed to reimplement it... again.
Why not just unselect the Anime category and shut the f up?
