  1. Am I supposed to look at a keyboard, or not? on Microsoft's Adaptive Touchscreen Keyboard · · Score: 1

    This is weird. If this is just a keyboard, and I should be focusing my attention on a monitor, then all the eye candy on the keyboard is really a fail. Switching keyboards on the fly is pretty cool, but then the upper screen should be chopped off and the keyboard made smaller.

    BUT if there is no monitor, then I have 3/4 of a touchpad devoted to a keyboard, and I can't see a lot of my work above.

    Even the Timex Sinclair had a better viewing area: typing area ratio. The keyboard takes two tasks and makes them harder.

  2. Re:In the USA speed is the only ticket... on Federal Summit Eyes Crackdown On Texting While Driving · · Score: 1

    Someone should have told the policeman who pulled me over for making an "illegal lane change"! :)

  3. Re:Fixed on Why Isn't the US Government Funding Research? · · Score: 1

    Might as well be abstract, given the probability of the debt being repaid.

  4. Re:Firebug on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, YSlow doesn't seem to work with the Firebug beta. The two plugins together were very helpful.

  5. Re:Long weekend... on Gaining System-Level Access To Vista · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage!

  6. Re:In addition to the Justice Department on US Government Keeping Close Eye on Longhorn · · Score: 1
    They should put the Department of Homeland Security on it too. You know, for securities sake.

    Securities? Where's the SEC involved in all this? We don't want another Enron, or even worse, Martha...

  7. Pity... on Priest Brews in Washing Machine · · Score: 1

    ...that he doesn't brew his own Communion wine!

  8. Mud Client on Spielberg to Produce Live-Action Tintin Movie(s) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I must confess. I had no clue a movie could be made about my favorite MUD client.

  9. Conflict of styles on Animated Star Wars on Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    It'll be an interesting first show...you've got a series where millions of dollars have been dumped into redoing detailed features a la Special Editions, and it's being done by someone who likes to do series without a lot of detail (PPG and Dexter esp., don't watch too much SJ).

    Luke Skywalker with a squared off head might get a chuckle.

  10. Optical Mouse on Glass Table? on "Red is Dead" Optical Mice LED Change · · Score: 1

    I used to tease cats with red laser pointers. Think of how they'd react to an optical mouse on a glass table...

  11. Re:Dear god on Red Hat Nullifies Differences Between Bash, Csh · · Score: 1
    Um, fifth paragraph down: :)
    The nullified CLI isn't the only new feature that has upset some users. Red Hat has also rebranded vi and emacs to create two virtually identical text editors: "vimacs" and "emavics".
    You were too late!
  12. Babelfish on Vatican/HP To Put Library Online · · Score: 1

    Will the site offer translation services? Babelfish doesn't do Latin.

  13. Re:wait.... on Government Web Sites Are Not for the Incumbents · · Score: 1

    You must be from Missouri! Unless you can find me someone who voted for JEAN Carnahan...

  14. It's too late on Cringely, Cars, and Networks · · Score: 1

    With state gov's like New York already banning cell phones in cars, right or wrong, this stuff will get banned as soon as they can find a statistic that this will distract motorists.
