    I know I've seen at least one game which had the circle button be select and the x button be escape by default...

    Barenaked Ladies is a bunch of astronomers? I *knew* they were geeks!

  8. Re:Worthless on A Glance At 24 Keyboards & Mice · · Score: 1

    It's actually pretty easy to switch back to QWERTY. I only use a Dvorak keyboard at home, but I don't have that much trouble using a QWERTY. I'll have to look at it for a little while, but I adjust to it quickly.

  9. Re:Keep 'em coming... on Mozilla 1.6 Released · · Score: 1

    oh, so the internet's centered around you, isn't it

    ooo.. Snake on Mars...

  13. Re:Yeah, why ARE the buttons on the right these da on Left-Buttoned Arcade Joystick for PS2? · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't think there's any reason why people can't simply get used to having the buttons on the other side. Guitars are normally set up to have all of the (rather complex) fretting done by the left hand, and just having the right hand strum/pick.

  14. wow! on Online Gaming Continues To Soar In China · · Score: 1

    There's a legend behind that old Russian space station?

    who encodes ogg at 500kbps?

  18. Re:Touch Stream Keyboards on Silent Keyboards for Silent PCs? · · Score: 1

    The nice thing about that is that it's just about the only way to get an internal 3-button mouse into an Apple Powerbook.

  19. and yeah, I got this from someone else's post on Linux 2.6.0 Kernel Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://www.kniggit.net/wwol26.html

    seems to be a pretty comprehensive description.

  20. Re:Nifty on Free, Open Source OS For TI Calculators · · Score: 2, Informative

    the 89 may not have one, but the 92/92+/voyage 200 models all have plain, QWERTY keyboards.

  21. Re:Scroll wheels are already obsolete. on 3-Button Mice - An Endangered Species? · · Score: 1

    Agreed about the Kensington mice. I'm not left-handed, but I've trained myself to mouse lefty. the Kensington's symmetrical, so, unlike all sorts of other trackballs, it works great for this. In addition, the keyboard is now balanced, with the keypad and mouse being on opposite sides.

    I never got the extra buttons to work properly though, and the wheel is a little touchy.

  22. Re:Won't anyone think of the jokes? on GameSpy And IGN To Merge · · Score: 1

    Actually, I believe the line is "You can't spell 'Ignorant Slut' without IGN"

  23. Re:And the mac... on Microsoft to Charge for FAT File System · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm positive that HFS is read-write supported by linux, however I believe that HFS+ support is still experimental.
