"The command line is like writing a poem, while using a mouse is like pointing and grunting"
Er, something like that.
I like both, both have thier place.
Some times click click and being done with something is great, while other times having a command line to type EXACTLY what you want is a life saver.
To me, it's all about what you want to do.
Chat (irssi for irc and bitlbee) is command line if possible.
Web design (Dreamweaver MX 2004) is a good balance. Point, click, edit code, flex the geek and the mouse.
Graphic design (GIMP) is almost 100% mouse for me. GIMP and World of Warcraft are the reason I bought a trackball.
Slashdot Mirror
That is the very first thing that came to mind.
2 birds with one radiation treatment, or something.
You think that all matters after spending your adult life driving in a parkway and parking in a driveway?
Come on, just because it's popular doesn't make it right.
You do marathon coding sessions, with you laptop in your lap?
Good ergonomics . . .
Excellent explaination, my friend.
propoganda.
But this is Slashdot, it fit right in. :)
A motor is electric, an engine uses some other sort of fuel.
details . . . details . . . . :)
Would you have read it if they reported on some geeks making a model?
Do people still do that? :D
Batteries, I'd assume, be able to power the laptop long enough for you to scald your bits.
I see them more as a symbiosis.
Where would GCC be without Linux?
Where would Linux be without GCC?
Isn't this exactly what the Open Source community is all about?
Someone contact sourceforge, someone else start coding, and someone send their SO to the store for Bawls, meth, and mountain dew!
In a week, we'll have the more spasticly coded, but free VoIP software EVAR!!
Slashdot needs more Grub too!
I think it sounds like a whole lot of work (and radiation), where a solution in other forms exsists.
:)
How about some sort of solution through the floor?
Same power, no dome!
Will we all have to ditch the metal jewelery, as not to be burned? :)
I always figured it'd be batteries that would be the solution.
Really good, long lasting, no special treatment needed, juice boxes.
Oddly enough, people do.
The school I work at requires all students have a USB thumb drive of at least 512MB though. It's nice to see a school environment devoid of floppies.
I guess I have more of a problem with old being presented as new then.
:)
But, I also like to gripe.
Tom's hardware makes the list.
It's a massive undertaking to create it.
That's news.
Is it really news every time they update the list?
I try not to think about geeks having sex. It frieghtens me.
:)
But yes, it was a joke.
i am a geek, and am rarely without a SO.
Does anyone remember the time when slow news days meant less posts, insteads of lower quality posts?
Because most of slashdot's reader base are fumbling virgins or worse?
Einstein and Hoffa are chillin' on the dark side of the moon.
:)
They're just waiting for someone to come pick them up.

What?
Zero budget?
Well, hollywood has just informed me it cannot be good without a budget in the millions!
No they didn't, you're just not sitting upright in your chair.
I like the rope lights, personally.
:)
Better for cube adornment.
