  2. Re:south paw? on Left Sided Windows Scrollbars? · · Score: 1

    You see, thats the problem with wikis, people assume it's ok to use them as a source. It's not. Someone made that up. Southpaw refers to a game of boxing wherein it's ok to step on your opponents foot with your "southpaw." This is illegal now, but people are told to watch for a boxer's southpaw if they tended to be in in your face and (accidentally) stepping on your toes. Wikipedia automatically redirected me to the page about left handedness.

  3. Re:So let me get this straight.... on Douglas Engelbart's HyperScope 1.0 Launched · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Indeed, it took me a couple (few) clicks to realize that not only was I still on the same page, but that the page I was on wasn't as long as I thought it was. If they'd have demo'ed something huge like the Sams FreeBSD 6 unleashed book (weighing in at about 877 pages including the index) or something like that, maybe there could have been something to it. I don't see this being all that useful to me as of yet.

  4. So let me get this straight.... on Douglas Engelbart's HyperScope 1.0 Launched · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The demo I looked at on the page seemed to be to be an html doc, with the difference being that instead of clicking the words, you would awkwardly click the column to the left to the line in which the thing you want to link resides? I must be missing something cause I don't see how this might be any easier. True I didn't actually read the paper I was clicking through which happened to be on this topic, but how many web pages do I really actually read anyways? A little help?

    "$5.15 can still buy a roof" Lets see, we'll do the math here... $5.15 an hour for 40 hours a week. Thats $206. Times 52 weeks in a year, thats....$10,712. Now constant nutrition may or may not mean stay healthy. Stay healthy means you have to have health insurance. So well do this: $125 a month if you have insurance, $0 if you don"t. Thats a total of $1500 dollars difference. Lets say you can _rent_ a house for $500 a month (if you're lucky and can make some compromises), thats $6000, so for our totals we're left with $3,212 with insurance, $4,712 without. Fo no insurance hat leaves about $393 a month for food, electricity, gas water, the bus (cause you KNOW you can't afford a car!) and the doctor visits when you get sick. My electricity bill last month was $230. Shall I continue? With health insurance, you have about $268 a month for all that. LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT TAXES though! Alright, lets try to bring the rent down some kind of way, maybe there's a slum near by or I can sell some drugs or --- oh wait, I can't do that one, guess who's watching! --Maybe I can skip breakfast and --no can't do that, "constant nutrition," right? Well, maybe I can go down to the check cashing place and write a hot check then maybe I can tell the boys I'll catch up with them next week and put in some overtime? Is this really working? really?

    I wonder just who it is that would like to take away your right to have children because you're a christian.
