I get a great personal satisfaction drawing a line through fixed bugs over just deleting a line of text or checking a box.
This is what I have been doing also. I was going to say something like this but I saw a post above about using a txt file that you check in with your code. This way you can have a backup and history for reference. I think I may start doing it that way from now on.
I was going to say to just write them down on a piece of paper! But I like the txt file checked into the repository much better. In fact, I think I may start doing it this way. Thanks for the great and simple idea.
Autocorrect is only makes ridiculous mistakes right now because of the way that we've got our letters grouped together. We end up sending it confusing cues, so of course it picks strange words.
This 'dextr' layout looks terrible. Not only is it huge, it doesn't actually solve the problem. The vowels are cleverly stacked on top of one another, which is probably going to lead to just as many accidental vowel replacements as before, just different kinds. Letters that can often replace one another in words are still right next to each other.
I believe there could be a better texting keyboard than qwerty, but this sure isn't it.
Anyone who has seen the site damnyouautocorrect.com would realize that it isn't just the placement of the keys that causes autocorrect to make stupid mistakes. I like to be able to write people or street names without my keyboard changing things on me. I find it the most irritating thing to have to keep correcting what autocorrect changes on me. Why should we even use a keyboard at all when writing on a touch screen? Do we use one for paper? I used to use the Palm Pilot hand writing related letters for that device and now I use 8pen for my Android. So all my writing is done with O's and 8's and I can write whatever I want without some stupid dictionary trying to guess what I meant and change it for me.

Anyone who has seen the site damnyouautocorrect.com would realize that it isn't just the placement of the keys that makes autocorrect do stupid things. Plus, I want to be able to write things that are not in the dictionary, like people or street names etc. I find 8pen to be a nice input method for a touch screen. Why do we even need a keyboard on a touch interface. I used the palm pilot and wrote their hand writing related letters then. Now I write lots of O's and 8's to draw my letters on the screen with no autocorrect messing things up for me!:-)
Exactly. Basically we know that as long as people are familiar with the key locations, they can type fast - i.e. the limitation is almost certainly the human ability to coordinate our fingers.
So it's really questionable how much benefit you get from changing the keyboard layout to try and optimize it, since is it really the limiting factor in productivity?
I would tend to agree that the speed is not drastically changed by changing the keyboard, but I would disagree about there being no benefits at all. I find the key combinations in QWERTY that come up often to be rather annoying. Things like 'ed', and 'es'. There are others also where the fingering feel awkward. After I switched to DVORAK I find it feel more relaxed and fluent. The fingers can flow and find a rhythm where many common (in English) letter combinations are placed on alternating hands. And who ever uses the ';' key enough for it to be on the home row?! That's just a waste of a finger there. In dvorak all the vowels are right on the home row.
Just try this comparison if you want to see some of the differences. The sentence 'how does this sentence compare when typed in the two layouts.' has 74.5% of the letters on the home row for dvorak compared to 25.49% on qwerty. That is a huge difference. That leads to finger distance traveled being 0.619m on dvorak and 1.659m on qwerty. It was after trying out a few sentences in a comparator like this that made me decide to try out dvorak for a while. Once I learned it, I have stuck with it because of how comfortable it feels. I can still switch to qwerty when using other people's computers, although admittedly my speed on that has dropped from what it was before. My speed on dvorak has reached what I was when I used to use qwerty though, so no problems there.
And we have a very good idea of what causes gravity, or rather, what gravity _is_. Gravity is the tendency of spacetime to curve in the presence of objects with mass (and/or energy). This curving of spacetime causes other objects to travel not in straight (relative to our local Minkowski space) line paths, but in curves, when they are close to the first object (and vice versa).
I understand gravity as the curve of spacetime as well as any laymen that has read up on the subject. An object traveling in a straight line curves when it comes upon curved spacetime. But what causes a stationary object to move then. The thought analogy of the curved space being like the surface of a trampoline and the depression made by a heavy object is curved space. Other objects fall toward the heavy one due to our real gravity of the earth so the analogy fails to fully explain how gravity pulls things together.
It seems odd to me that there should be such a Luddite tone here on Slashdot, and an egotistic assumption that humans will always be better at these tasks for the foreseeable future.
I don't think it is such a Luddite problem. I think it is that we are used to seeing computers fail regularly. Most of us have used Windows PCs extensively and have grown used to it. We start to think that is the normal operation of a computer. It's hard to imagine a computer that does't crash and can actually do it's job without manual intervention constantly.
And how do you pipe the output from one command into the input of another one? I think GUI's can be useful, but I don't think they will ever be able to do everything that the CLI can do.
Gambling, by definition, is seeking to profit from a random event that is generated SPECIFICALLY so people can bet on it. Why do horses run around a track? So people can bet on it. Why do people throw dice at a craps table? So people can bet on it. Why does the blackjack dealer distribute 2 cards to each player? So people can bet on it.
So you are trying to tell us that betting on a boxing match or the world series is not gambling because the event was going to happen anyway? You sound like you are in denial about what you do!
Thanks for the informative reply. I am not aware of MTP and most of the Windows computers I have plugged my phone into are XP, but even my wife's laptop with Windows 7 will not recognize the phone as a USB drive nor can I connect to it for development like I do on my Linux machine. It's pretty frustrating as I have only been able to find one computer at a previous place of work where I was able to attempt to root the phone and I am sick of the crap that Samsung has pushed out in their latest updates. In addition I am not able to work on my app while in the living room watching TV with my wife by using her laptop, I can only go up to my linux desktop where things just work!
Plus, regarding the MTP protocol, the phone does need to unmount the SD card before it can be connected to a computer as a USB device. Perhaps that is still a part of the MTP, from reading the link it looks like the main difference is who is handling the file system, the phone or the computer.
Why wouldn't the planet be contaminated from the rovers and probes we have already sent? Do you think we have been 100% perfect in our sterilization process?
"Windows just works!" Except that when I plug in a USB key drive it sometimes works and sometimes needs drivers to work. And my Android device shows up on Linux machines every time with no drivers or anything needed. and I have yet to get my Windows computers to recognize it even when installing the Samsung drivers that are supposedly the correct ones to use.
Eventually it happened, and our previous theory about the size of the squid the sperm whales were eating was verified.
Not only the whales eating them, but we do also. Using genetic testing it has been discovered that a young giant squid looks almost identical to the squid used for calamari. It is highly likely that you have eaten a giant squid if you have ever had calamari.
I have washed motherboards in the sink before. If there are no moving electrons in the electronics, it can be dumped in all the water that you want. Just make sure it is dry before powering it up again.
I don't know where they are getting the "Additionally, high-speed rotation completely eliminates the problem of heat exchanger fouling." from. I have seen fan blades that get caked with dust. It eventually gets so bad you can hear the dust on the blades hitting the housing as the fan turns.
My other concern is the boundary layer between the spinning heat sink and the stationary plate. Wouldn't this area be a bottleneck for heat transfer similar to the way they talk about the air boundary on regular heat sink fins creates a bottleneck?
Do you read the news??? Do you know how often a jilted boyfriend/husband, pissed off teen, psychotic nutbag walks into a mall, place of work, McDonald, or school and promptly dispatches anywhere from 15-50 profoundly surprised spectators? Do you live under a rock?
Right there you admit that you read the news. That shows why you are so uninformed about the truth. The news has to come up with amazing stories to keep you reading. You probably also think the world is a much more dangerous place than it was 20 or 30 years ago, even though the statistics show is has gotten safer.
Ultimately this is about fear. Dealing with a dangerous world. Human being's are notoriously poor at assigning risk. We defend ourselves against things that will never hurt us as we shovel crap down our throats or into our lungs that is guaranteed to kill us.
So you understand it is about fear and you fall for it anyway. Perhaps you don't know who is trying to create the fear. Hint, it's the politicians and media. The media gets the viewers and readers from telling the scary stories. The politicians get more power by writing laws that are easier to pass when the populous lives in fear and lets them do whatever they want. Please stop falling for it.
So when people argue for the right to be stupid. I guess so, knock yourself out. I'm just not terribly impressed by the argument thanks.
I would say the same thing about your stupidity, but you seem to be wanting to take away my rights. So I don't think it is ok for someone like you to be stupid then.
So perhaps it's not technically an "assault rife", but whatever you want to call it, the bottom line is that if you wanted to take out a crowd of unarmed civilians, this would probably be a pretty good weapon to use.
So it's not any good at taking out a crowd of armed civilians? Either way, I guess that means we need to have more armed civilians. This way there will be people around to stop the psycho killers!
But having to 'exploit' something, or 'bypass' things isn't the line by which I measure whether something is 'wrong' or not. Ethically, perhaps, but certainly not morally. Sometimes, things simply ARE wrong, and no amount of sophomoric hair-splitting really changes that.
Ok, you think these "Hackers" did something wrong by accessing data that was published on a web server. How about after you read these sentences I then tell you that you were not actually authorized to read them. These sentences are only intended for my friends. Can I now get you charged with computer hacking and have you thrown in jail?
If the data is published and available for you to read without any hacking needed, how are you to know you are not to access it. By your logic, if the phone book had put an unpublished number in the listings, everyone who read that number would be a hacker and has committed a crime just by reading that page!
And, wouldn't this fail for MythTV because it records the entire stream to disk and only later analyses it for commercial skip. If it can take it's time finding the commercials then it can analyse the messed up I-frames also and fix them. In fact, my MythTV box has hardware encoders in the TV tuners so it is probably re-encoding all the frames as it receives the video signal anyway. But I'm not watching HDTV either, so maybe it works differently in that case.
In fact, with some drugs you can be fairly certain that if a person tested positive he/she was high while taking the test, with cannabis it's more of a "did this person smoke pot at some point in the last few weeks?" which isn't very useful.
If you drink one of the cleansing drinks made for cannabis users before taking the test you will have a clean screening. I had a taken a test when clean that came up as inconclusive. I guess I drank too much water as I wanted to make sure I would have to go even with the shy bladder that happens when under pressure to pee. The next test was a good clean negative even though I had used only two days before. What I found really interesting after this incident was all the tests I took while in the Navy never came back inconclusive even though everyone would drink a ton of water to make sure they would have to go. Perhaps they don't really care about the accuracy of the tests and only the appearance of looking for users.
"schools are failing our children" excuses should *get involved* in their local school, and encourage all other parents to do the same. If their schools really are falling behind in some way, it's *THE PARENTS FAULT* for not being involved.
It doesn't matter how involved you are if the administrators and teachers are ridiculous assholes that just want to punish kids rather than do anything productive. Look at the example above about a second grader getting suspended for eating his sandwich into the shape of a gun. How is that harmful? Why should a kid that is being a typical kid be punished for that? Oh yeah, because the school system really wants to create brain-dead sheeple that don't think but only do what "authority" tells them to do. My younger sister was almost denied attending graduation because of a senior prank where they hung a banner saying "Congratulations Seniors" in the gym. They were let into the building by the janitor so it wasn't even a case of breaking and entering. My mom went to the media to make the principal look even stupider than he did to get resolution. It didn't help his case that the janitor was a relative and they didn't want to have to fire him. Other examples include throwing away a kids lunches.
In North Carolina’s West Hoke Elementary School, state agents of the Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services inspect sack lunches. If the sack lunches don’t meet the USDA requirements of one serving of meat, one serving of milk, one serving of grain, and two servings of fruit or vegetables, the school or childcare provider must supplement them.
Such was the case with one preschooler who brought her lunch, consisting of a turkey and cheese sandwich on white whole wheat bread, a banana, potato chips and apple juice. As far as I can tell, her lunch met the USDA requirements of one serving of meat, one serving of milk, one serving of grain, and two servings of fruit or vegetables. Yet they threw her lunch out because a state employee told her that what her mom packed was not nutritious so they told the girl she had to eat the school lunch, which happened to be chicken nuggets that day.
The school system is broken and the parents being too involved is part of the problem. If you try to accommodate every idiotic request you end up with nothing left of value. So yeah, my kid is going to be home schooled so they aren't held back at the speed of the slowest fucktard in the class that doesn't even care to be there. It's either that or private school. If you want your kid to be a stupid as the rest of the general U.S. population then put them into the same school system as those idiots and I'm sure it will beat the love of learning right out of them!

Fancy names can fool wine geeks into paying more for a bottle.
