  1. Re:Normally C but... on Ask Slashdot: Best Book For 11-Year-Old Who Wants To Teach Himself To Program? · · Score: 1

    FYI, your C examples are wrong. Arrays aren't pointers (even though they act like them at times). You can not assign b = a. And the best book for C that everyone should have is "The C Programming Language". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language

  2. Re:A bit underwhelming.... on Build Your Own Electric Etch-A-Sketch · · Score: 1

    Have to agree. This E-EAS project is done in our sophomore microcontroller course (the last of four projects). Granted we did not use a mouse but I am sure some students could have rigged one up in the time alloted.

  3. Re:Fingerworks TouchStream keyboards are the best! on A Glance At 24 Keyboards & Mice · · Score: 1
    No you are not alone. I love my TouchStream LP as well and I have been a happy zero force typer for a year now.

    The MyGesture editor is also great in allowing me to customize the gestures, and hidden keys.

  4. Half-life on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    I almost would say Doom but it never got scary just jumpy, but with HL when I played it for the first time, I sat down, had the lights off and the door closed in my dorm and after that I never played it in the dark, with the door closed without a room mate home.

    No game since has had that effect on me since (or maybe it is b/c I am still playing HL-mods and nothing else)

  5. BAN CHESS! on Germany Places Command & Conquer on Restricted List · · Score: 1

    Chess is a war game where the only way to 'resolve' your differences is to kill the other leader (aka Der Konig).

  6. Multifinger gestures are cooler. on Mouse Gestures Gain Followers · · Score: 1

    At UD (where I am attending), I have been able to try out a device that can do multi-finger gestures on the same surface that does typing and mousing. It has does gestures for back, forward and scroll all the requisite browser movements for reading Slashdot, plus most other conceivable hotkey combos! Here is an article about it in our school newspaper: http://www.mis4.udel.edu/udaily/index.html
