I think using a touchscreen as a primary interface for extended periods of time would be really uncomfortable.
Most of the ways we've come up with to physically interact with electronic and mechanical systems have some element of movement, and I think there's a reason for that. I'm imagining my fingertips getting numb typing away on a glass screen for 8-14 hours a day.
How about a haptic glove that that would give you keyboard feedback while you typed on the virtual screen? Obviously you wouldn't limit the use of the glove for just typing on a virtual keyboard, just as you wouldn't limit the screen just for displaying a virtual keyboard.

It's more difficult because I broke up some letter combinations.
I think by posting a reply here, I can already expect your brain to be conditioned for the task of rearranging letters, thus any examples I post would be relatively easy to figure out.

why shouldn't our hard drives have ornamental value as well as technological? A lot of computers are still ugly white rectangles that invade a room's space rather than compliment it.
Who says harddrives can't have ornamental value as well as technological? Look at the whole iPod phenomenon. The issue I have with this "artwork" is that he takes a harddrive and sticks it into a painting that has nothing at all to do with the aesthetics of the harddrive. I would be more forgiving if he were to at least pay attention to the shape, material, and text on the harddrive when making his piece.What he has created is equivalent to an ugly white rectangle that invades the painting's space rather than compliments it.
It would be ok to store your password as clear text somewhere on the machine just as long as the clear text was part of something else. Let's say...you have an ascii picture and your password is the ten characters right below the wheels of a car in that picture.
The random keyboard would be too annoying to use. I've seen alarm systems that work this way, but only for 9 digits and you can use your fingers to press the buttons.
Is it just me or did that article read like a PR piece promoting the deregulation of the broadband industry? As far as why they don't list percentages, looking at the editorials on the site, it also seems like they have an anti-China agenda.
Microsoft came up with "360" after they heard that Nintendo's system was codenamed "Revolution". I'm sure it didn't take long for a bunch of marketing guys to come up with that one.
The Atari 2600 had an analog trackball controller for games like Missile Command and Centipede in addition to the paddle controller you're referring to. The default Atari 5200 controller was an analog controller as well as any joystick for the Apple II or PC made at that time.
My offhand guess would be something like a power glove with touch feedback. They seem to be on this big touch thing with the DS and reaching out with WI-FI. It wouldn't be a big stretch to think they would revamp the power glove. It would definitely be revolutionary even though as mentioned before, the technology does exist already.
Screw the analogies. It's just one company buying another. It happens all the time. Restating that their name hasn't changed is pretty standard practice.
Dreamweaver is just a tool. If you took away that tool, do you think your "web guy" would be giving you better files to work with? So is it Dreamweaver making your daily job a living hell or is it your "web guy"? Did you ever try explaining your situation to him? Maybe it's an issue of bad communication rather than bad tools.
I was curious enough about what you said to do some further research. I found the following:
Protein denatures as you beat it up with the whisk
Fat globules are dispersed into smaller and smaller droplets as well,,,hey, how would you like to be whipped with sharp slicing pieces of metal??????
All the while, water is swirling and moving creating eddies of air like a sunami in your bowl
Sugar is looking for a safe place to land in all the confusion....
End Result: Uncoiled protein (denaturation) surrounds the air bubbles
Sugar lands on the denatured protein and holds on for dear life
Fat surrounds the sugar, protein and air bubble, trapping the water
Now multiply this scene by about 2 zillion K-billion times
You have created an interlaced 3-dimesnional net we call a foam (remember our dispersion chart???? Foam is a gas dispersed in a liquid.....air trapped in milk)
So you wouldn't be able to get the milk to turn into whipped cream which turns into butter without the air for the fat, protein, and sugar to cling to. So this is why the milk is shipped in a vacuum.
This is the game developer's choice awards. If this were the game player's choice awards then maybe you could nominate it. It's the difference between the Oscars and the Golden Globe Awards.
Gummy fingers can even fool sensors being watched by guards. Simply form the clear gelatin finger over your own. This lets you hide it as you press your own finger onto the sensor. After it lets you in, eat the evidence.
The five second rule doesn't apply here.
You must be pretty brave to eat something that just touched something that everybody else has touched and probably has some amount of everything else they had touched on it. I would be wary even putting my finger on there nevermind eating off of it.
This is a website for nerds.
The reason why people complain is because if they misuse a word in their code it probably will throw a syntax error. The same goes for capitalization. This is just our way of throwing a syntax error at Hemos. Of course some of us have a more obnoxious and abrasive way of doing it than others, just like any IDE you might encounter.

I'm afraid your mistaken. No worries; that error is all to easy to make.
;)
I'm afraid you're mistaken too.

Who's really being exploited?
EA workers who are being managed by the fat bald guy?

I don't have to tell people what my name will be every time I buy a Big Mac.
It's more like a marraige where you have to let people know what your last name is after you get married even if it stays the same.

That reminds me of an experiment where they dropped thousands of ping pong balls down a slope to simulate an avalanche:

Not as good as many of the artists on mattepainting.org
The work on complexification is done in Processing.
The work on levitated is done in actionscript.

I am offended by your use of the word "fruit" in describing a produce stand. Let's not use such offensive language.
You're right.
CRPG makers would never allow "fruit" stands in their games.
A produce stand would be more likely.
