I am left handed, they tought me to write with right (the friendly way). But when I was eight I broke my right wrist and started writing with left again, after that they tought me to write with right again. So now I'm ambidextrous (two-handed).
Quite practical while playing a game of pool. I don't have to play those odd balls behind my back which everyone always misses. I just switch to the other hand.
I was dyslexic until I tought myself writing properly at the age of 29. I had two mental breakdowns at the age of 11 and 22. It's still lurking around the corner and can only be held at bay by strong discipline. And I'm a typical case of asperger.
So yes, the results don't surprise me at all.
Although people generally agree I am very intelligent it won't help me since I have none of the skills that are required for material or social success.
Personally I think you are all a cruel bunch who never speak clearly and are only interested in personal gain.
I do feel like I come from another planet sometimes, at least I am treated that way.
Doesn't matter how much more data is collected, the point is already made: Our global industry is damaging the environment. And W is not going to do anything about it. Just the same reasoning that keeps M$ from doing anything structural about virusses.
``It seemed an annoyance at first, but later on we realized it is a great source of revenue, so why on earth would we change anything about it.''
First, they save themselves a shipload of money in preventing the problems.
Second, they are the guys that will clean up the mess afterwards, for proper rewarding of course.
They will even be called heroes and nobody will ever disagree with their methods.
BTW the same filosophy applies to another ``global problem'': terrorism.
We have to find a way of unmasking these criminals. They do have a name, the ``neo-conservatives.''
That's the nice thing about modern justice. If you are a pattentholder and you want to sue microsoft in the best case you get the case settled and it will cost them a small fortune. Like they care.
OTOH if they sue any small developer he won't even have the money to defend his case and will be bankrupted even if he is guilty or not.
For a company that is so phenomenally rich you'd think they'd settle down and go enjoy the rest of their lives and do something usefull, like sitting in the garden. At least that's what I would if I was given a few billions. But instead they keep bullying the rest of the world.
If I was in their position, I wouldn't care a bit about the successes of others, like the playstation and the open source projects.
I bound the multimedia-keys to xmms and alsactl, that's really practical. But I never touch the other ones. And since I started using emacs and found out emacs-keybinds are used quite consistently in *nix I don't use the home/end/del/ins/pgdn/pgup keys anymore.

Just don't use it for a while. Or rather, systematically do everything with left.

Please do nag to the creators of those software packages for a linux-version.
Linux can do it, it just lacks the right software to be ported to it.
