  4. afRaid on EU Officials Raid Intel Offices · · Score: 1

    What ever happened to old-fashioned wiretaps as the feds used to use on the Mafia? Understandably, Intel probably doesn't have gun-toting thugs at their entrances, but I doubt that I'm the only one noticing a (recent?) trend of police organizations worldwide who like to conduct this "raid" thing.

    I'm just glad there is no one on the Intel EU Board of Trustees with the surname Koresh.

    Its This is the possessive form of "it" as in "brought about its collapse." This is easily confused with "it's" primarily because we're taught that an apostrophe implies possession. This is an exception. It's The contraction of "it is" as in "It's a good day."

  7. The Dvorak Layout on New Standard Keyboard · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Regarding the content of the post, dvorak is far from a standard. I say this primarily from my own experience of having been denied a data entry job because I used the dvorak layout and they didn't want to accommodate me. Even in the modern day, qwerty is the accepted standard in America. I suspect that being able to use any other keymap will be difficult for a while since: 1. The majority of computers that one would use while not at home are probably windows. 2. If I recall correctly, all windows platforms, with exception of XP, require the install disc to be present to change to a keymap that the system hasn't loaded. 3. Even in XP, if you are at a terminal that is not yours, the computer that you are using may very well have restricted access to keyboard settings. About dvorak itself, I've found it to be more fluid than qwerty (certainly less gangly). I never bothered taking typing tests with it but I feel confident that my speed was improved. Unfortunately, my denial of a job and other factors have made me reluctantly switch back to qwerty.
