  1. Re:An idea on Ask Slashdot: Gaming With Only One Hand? · · Score: 1

    Good call. I haven't played pen and paper RPG's since I was a kid. I need to find a group, though. Any recommendations on that? Meetup.com maybe?

    Thanks for the info.

  2. Re:Why use any hands? on Ask Slashdot: Gaming With Only One Hand? · · Score: 1

    I saw this and it looked like a gimmick. Have you used it? If so, how effective is it? Does it work for. Things more complicated than pong?

    Thanks for the info.

  3. Re:Learn to use your feet on Ask Slashdot: Gaming With Only One Hand? · · Score: 1

    I saw these and wasn't sure if it was effective or not. I'll check into it further.

    Thanks for the info.

  4. Re:Many button mouse and keyboard on floor on Ask Slashdot: Gaming With Only One Hand? · · Score: 1

    The second keyboard on the floor is a really interesting idea. Anything to help speed things up (and hit the routine keys) will be a good help. That is the type of tip I was looking for!

    Thanks again!

    Right arm is good (and i'm right handed). I might have a look at foot pedals, as they seem interesting, regardless of the injury.

    Thanks for the info.

    Dude- I stepped away from the computer for a few hours.

    I am reading it, and I appreciate the feedback so far. In case you haven't read, it's a little hard for me to type so I can't respond to everything.

    So everyone else has the problem, and you're the only one who doesn't.

    In my experience, that is usually a red flag.

    While redundant, overused, and quite old now, you fail to acknowledge one thing: Sharks with frickin' laser beams on their head WOULD BE FUCKING COOL.

    You really worked hard on that, didn't you?

    Yeah, but in your analogy, the burgers won't eat you when you try to approach.

    Not necessarily a new and improved version, but they just release a new medication which is just the active metabolite of the previous medication. It works faster because it doesn't need to be metabolized, but it's still just the same medication.

    At that point you are an accomplice to the crime.

    That's just ignorant. I can see that you've never worked as an auditor? You can't catch everything. You can only mitigate risk. There's a big difference between not detecting activity and being an accomplice to it.

    It sounds like you automatically assume that if someone didn't identify the activity, you automatically assume that they are turning a blind eye to it. Even been cheated on, lied to or manipulated? By your logic, you would be responsible for the other person's actions.

    He can't provide evidence of it because that would be a copyright violation.

  17. Re:Where is the fun? on Are Games Getting Easier? · · Score: 1

    Good call. That and the sequel are fun as hell, casual and have great replay value. People can pick it up and start having a good time in just a few minutes.

    I think what made LFD so good is that they stuck to a few key points and did them well.

  18. Re:What About The Parents? on Later School Start For Teenagers Brings Drop In Absenteeism · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Dating is about experimentation and socialization. It's about exploring those feelings that they're starting to have at that age. I had a few innocent romances as a teenager, and I think it was wonderful to have been able to share that with someone without the pressure of "real life". Besides, the first heartbreak is probably one of the most defining moments of a young adult's life.

    Besides, if you pen all that angst up, it's going to explode once they're out of your house.

    Want to know how I know you never even started an MBA program?

    Really. Try it. You'll learn loads, believe it or not.

    Just because you're smart doesn't mean that learning the formal fundamentals in a couple of business oriented areas won't make you smarter.

    As for being able to think intelligently, you either are able to or you're not. But, by having a larger pool of stock knowledge you can think intelligently in more areas.

  20. Re:Physicists? on Which Math For Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Discrete math can be applied to algorithm/query optimization, and is often taught as that application.

    It's really more of a school of thought that uses different areas and disciplines from all over the "math arena".

    If you've ever stepped through loops and tried to optimize conditional statements, you've done "Discrete structures with graph theory" (In a simplified fashion).
