  1. Re:As easy as 1 ENTER 1 + on Celebrating the HP-35 Calculator With a New Model · · Score: 1

    Yes, but you have to move your finger from the enter key to "2" and then "*", so if you instead do "enter" and then "+", you save yourself a finger movement, because your finger is already on "enter".

  2. Re:As easy as 1 ENTER 1 + on Celebrating the HP-35 Calculator With a New Model · · Score: 1

    With "1 enter enter +" you have to move your finger less. Instead of lifting your finger off the enter key to press "1" and then move your finger back to the enter key, you just double-tap "enter" without having to move to the "1" and back. It's more "important" when you're adding a number with several digits.

    "1979135.87 enter 1979135.87 +" vs. "1979135.87 enter enter +".

    Generally, when adding two numbers A and B, you do "A enter B +", but when A=B, you can save finger movement and key presses with "A enter enter +". If A=B, and A is a single digit number, then you don't save key presses, but you do save finger movement.

    I agree. This video could have been pretty sweet if a bunch of those students were packing heat.

  4. Re:id blew this one on Marine Finds Duct Tape on Mars · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I thought it was way too dark there. This is, what, the year 2195, and they can build a base on Mars, but they can't light it properly so you can see? I mean, did you check out the bathrooms? You'd need a flashlight just to take a piss.

    And as for the stupid $1.95 flashlight that you have to run around with... I mean, what happened? Did Surefire weaponlights just get discontinued, or something? I thought those were a pretty frickin' good idea. You can blind your enemies before you shoot them, instead of putting your flashlight away and firing into the dark, like a dumb ass.
