i'm not sure but the whole idea of a national law to govern an international entity seems immensly stupid to me. if they were to put a law through the UN or any other international body, there might be some validity to the law.
definately... i was crossing the street and i saw a car coming at me that wasn't slowing down. my first thought was "where the hell is the strafe button!!"
i wouldn't be too suprised to see that happen, but i would hope not. blind culture and deaf culture are a bit different. With deaf people, they still have the ability to be fully functioning with very few limitations, they can drive, they can watch movies, they can do anything a hearing person can, even dance. blind people on the other hand, have a much greater disadvantage in our world. They require special interfaces to allow computer access, movies are not generally geared towards blind people, and they require much more assistance if they are to try and shop in places.
you're right, school shouldn't be the most expedient means of preparing people for the workforce, but it often is.
as for how long it takes to figure out how to use windows, most people on/. wouldn't have a problem, but a lot of people can't even make a smooth transition from win98-2k without somebody teaching them. I'd hate to see how those people would react to KDE.
a person is smart, but people are dumber than you think
as much as i despise M$ and think that people should use linux, the fact is that a majority of companies and people still use windows. By shifting schools to linux you deprive students of a chance to learn the most common os in business which may give them a competitive disadvantage after they graduate when looking for a job.
on the other hand, it may cause more businesses to shift to linux if the majority of their employees are more familiar with it.
i personally like the latter..but i think the former is the more likely result.
keyboards are great...but only for english and other languages that use the same character set. But when you have to deal with other languages like sanscrit or chinese, most people probably write them faster than they could type.
most character/pen recognition systems kinda suck. But i've heard, and my friend is trying, that a program called atok works pretty well for pen recognition in japanese for the palm pilot.
