In all honesty, the only good solution is to type more softly and then to tell your roommates or whoever to deal with it. I have the same problem where I really pound on keyboards. I've done the same thing, and no one ever complains any more.
Rubber keyboards and the such are really just crap and impossible to type on. They're just wastes of money. Just use your regular keyboard, as long as it doesn't make those clicking sounds, and force yourself to type more softly. You don't have to pound on the keys for it to work.
Shoot, I was going to use my mod points on some postings above until I read your posting.
And the reason why more people play sports games? Maybe it's because it's safer then playing the real thing and risking serious injury?:D
I totally agree. I don't know how serious you're being, but this is true. I broke my jaw two years ago while in a Tae Kwon Do tournament. It was a complete freak accident. Nothing like that had ever happened before in the six or seven years that I had been practicing Tae Kwon Do. However, now that that has happened, I have been much more wary about what physical activities I participate in and to what extent I'm involved. Since then, I've greatly cut down on contact sports. Now, I mostly just practice Tae Kwon Do, for example, rather than compete.
I've also found DDR to be a good source of aerobic activity.:)
And, just because I don't watch sports and play video games instead doesn't mean I'd watch sports in the first place. I'm sure I identify with many of you when I find watching most sports extremely boring and unexciting. Furthermore, I just can't feel the excitement and loyalty people have towards teams. Who really cares if *your* team wins? What in the world does that mean anyway?
What I would love to see is a patent governing the act of getting bad patents and suing the pants off of everyone as a business method patent. This would certainly show the ridiculousness of the current state of patent law. And if the courts uphold it, I'm moving out of here.
I wholeheartedly agree. Something that would make more sense is only allowing patents for procedures or techniques that involve discovered genetic material rather than patenting the genetic material itself. There's really nothing novel about discovering genes. It's the path to that discovery and the things done with it that ought to be patentable. It's ridiculous that someone else owns the gene to, say, create an ear when everybody already has that gene.
Didn't a failed experiment like this happen in the U.S. already? This reminds me of all the free ISPs that used to exist for a brief time that are now all defunct or for pay.
That's a bug not a virus. A bug is something that's wrong with a program. A virus is code that copies and spreads and is usually malevolent in nature, whereas bugs are usually accidental.
One thing to note is that the C++ version of the compiler came in at 4500 lines, while the XL equivalent came in at some 2700 lines. This seems to imply that XL may be easier to work in than C/C++. Might XL someday be nudging the old workhouse out of a job in the near future?
Ever heard of functional programming? That's the family of programming languages lisp is in? Ever programmed in them? They are freaking painful if you ask me. It makes so much more sense to use a procedural language in everyday programming environments. That's why commercial projects aren't written in lisp or ML or scheme or whatever. Just because the code takes up less space doesn't mean it's any easier to use.
How could this possibly backfire? As far as I'm concerned, small telemarketers need to follow the rules, too.
Or, do you mean this is a free speech violation? Just because you have freedom of speech doesn't mean I have to listen. I also have the right to freedom from your speech.
The Beagle Brothers had some amazing software! I remember using their programs to do such wonderful things as concatenate all of my AppleSoft BASIC programs into humongous lines, so they took up less space. They had some wonderful stuff. Ah, the memories...
With storage prices falling through the floor, does it matter to anyone except whiny nerds whether the byte counts are done in base 10 or base 2?
I don't think that's the point. The point is that what is advertised is NOT what you get. The problem doesn't just apply to hard drive manufacturers but to everyone under the sun. It's a question of being open and truthful about what you are really selling.
Indeed, but I feel the same exact way. They definitely affect you. After playing GTA for several hours and then going out, I saw a cop car and immediately felt this urge to start running away as fast as possible. I'm just glad I don't feel an urge to beat random passerbys for the fun of it.
I have been using my Scott eVest for two years now, and I have to say it is the absolutely best piece of clothing I own. It's fashionable, and I've gotten quite a few compliments as to how nice it looks. Unfortunately, it's not incredibly useful when it's hot out, especially when it's humid. (For some reason, it's especially annoying around the neck. The collar causes me to sweat a lot for some reason.) Otherwise, it's great, especially in the fall and spring. In the winter, you can simply wear a coat over it, though I have yet to do that.
During times that I can't wear it, then I just resort to using a messenger bag.
I have not used any of the listed services, but I completely agree. The only satisfying email services I have ever used have been the ones I have paid for, especially if they are for domains I own on servers that I run or have hosted by other people.
Free email services are simply too limited in their capabilities. They were great when they first came out. I remember being able to use some really great email services that had practically every single feature imaginable all for free, but over time, they always start stripping features away and charging for them. Either that, or they go out of business.
If you want an email address that won't have to change and will have all the features you want, you're going to have to shell out money.

Right, but it pops up again after installing 10.3.2 for whatever reason.
FYI, there is also an update for Java 1.4.1 that appears in software update after installing 10.3.2 (which went pretty smoothly).

Come on, pal! Fugu me!
The number infinity is very easily specified on a computer. The IEEE Standard 754 for floating point includes a specific representation for infinity.

Perhaps the problem only exists under Panther and not under previous versions of OS X.

You turned a profit?!?!? Can I have a job?
God, I don't think I could deal with my parents for hundreds more years.

Is that a beowulf cluster in your pants, or are you happy to see me?

I would have to say USB Bluetooth adapters. You still can't use them with anything affordable!
