It is official; Netcraft now confirms: The backspace key is dying.
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered keyboard community when IDC confirmed that the backspace key market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all keyboards. Coming close on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that the backspace key has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. The backspace key market is collapsing in complete disarray.
You know, when they forced Khruschev out, he sat down and wrote two letters to his successor. He said - "When you get yourself into a situation you can't get out of, open the first letter, and you'll be safe. When you get yourself into another situation you can't get out of, open the second letter". Well, soon enough, this guy found himself into a tight place, so he opened the first letter. Which said - "Blame everything on me". So he blames the old man, it worked like a charm. He got himself into a second situation he couldn't get out of, he opened the second letter. It said - "Sit down, and write two letters".
Or worse. Professor Dyer begged the planners of this Antarctic expedition to stay away from things that should not be loosed on this Earth. Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!
Bicycle Repair Man! He can cross the distance Earh-Mars in a second and do the necessary repairs (see how he uses a spanner to tighten that nut!)! Nuff said?

Mine is called HouseOfLeaves, for exactly the same reason.
Can't believe noone mentioned this: picking a good server name is important.
You don't need Bruce Willis, you need a Sysadmin!
Na, use two letters.

The second of that was misunderstood too, the 'camel' was of course this book. Ever lifted one? Saw the size of that book?
or you'll look like Trogdor!
Go to Germany and express your love for National Socialists and their leader and see how far that brings you.

Bloodninja, is that you?
Ron Jeremy uses emacs, obviously!
A hacker uses GO TO while an engineer doesn't?
It’s only four light years away you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs that’s your own lookout!
But it's great for tax reasons!

Even worse, I have the feeling that Larry Wall is sitting next to him watching the google logs while wearing the xkcd shirt based on comic 208!
There's an awful lot of intelligent design going on in Kansas it seems!
Flash cards? Shouldn't that have been Silverlight? We're talking Microsoft here, aren't we?
I'd rather have a Debian Chainsaw!
That explains the perl syntax!
Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!
I for one would use a Dornier Wal instead of a bike!
Writing is easy. One day I'd love to be able to read too!
OB Simpsons: I only hope they are not here to "serve and protect" [and pepperspray] for forty of us. Damn space dust!
For better or worse, also try this: $grep "SCO" -iR /tmp/symantec.source.code
Thank $diety a new breed of scientists has emerged!
