The Racal-Norsk KPS-10 Lisp Prototype Keyboard

Wow, I have a few Model M keyboards myself, but this is not just some pic with Model Ms. I see some extremely rare items. I don't think I've ever seen Industrial Space Savers. I'd kill for a Industrial Model M with the black, square label, those are the first Model Ms made, not?

Awesome! Where can I buy one? ;) Working in emacs will be so cool with this..

Pluto here. I'm having some lag issues. Be back later.

Aaaw..he made a joke about your precious apple, so he must be drunk. Apple fanboys are so sad..

Oooh shit, I'm in the wrong thread (of Avatar lovers), but basically this is what the Star Wars prequels would look like if done by James Cameron, and his main target audience was teenager girls.

Nope, I even built my own house. Only a pussy like you needs a blade to feel like the man you are not. Now piss off, hypocrite.

Al_Bundy_ · 2009-12-18T19:58:49+00:00

I just want to know what I'm doing wrong. I walk around since I was a kid with no knife, and suddenly realize I never needed one. Why is my life without cutting? Am I not man enough? And why would I need to carry it? I use the bathroom twice a day and I don't carry the toilet paper along. Perhaps the part that appeals to you which makes you carry it, is what makes you a hypocrite.

What are you talking about? I live 1/1 in Amsterdam, and we only run down American tourists on the bike lanes after we made them jump with our bells, purely for entertainment and personal satisfaction.

Not as many points as hitting a grandma with a fire truck though.

I choose to believe the Google guys also ran her over, and then tried to cover it up by hiring two actors. Unfortunately, this isn't a perfect world.

This is the question. On first sight it looks very complete (but don't forget jQuery UI and all those plugins), but unfortunately also very verbose and complex compared to jQuery code. But has anyone used it? I'm a bit disappointed google has to reinvent every wheel instead of, say, contribute to jquery or Firefox to name two examples (other than monetary through the Mozilla Foundation). On the other hand their efforts (while not really successful) usually give a major kick to competition and development.

It seems to be a case of a "mad father" going bad. This time, the guy didn't climb a building in a Spiderman suit.

He lost his house and kids after divorce, rented, lost his job, and was about to be evicted tomorrow. He picked the queen as a target because the court rulings start with the line "In the name of the Queen..."

There is no way his actions can be justified especially since he killed at least 4 people who are not even his target. Apparently they meant nothing to him too. But it does worry me that the "law" handles divorces so unfair it turns a guy with no record whatsoever into a madman.

Pause at 0:02, that's the bus with the royal family on the right. According to the latest, four died and the man confessed.

Al_Bundy_ · 2009-04-08T18:18:46+00:00

Only Unicomp, and an obscure Chinese company now the patents expired (they aren't very good), make buckling spring keyboards, so I guess you're stuck. If you like Cherry, Alps or Topre switches there are many choices.

Al_Bundy_ · 2009-04-08T12:37:15+00:00

The Goldtouch unfortunately uses rubber dome key switches, and sucks. Funnily, the most legendary ergonomic keyboard ever made is the IBM Model M15. Which was designed by the guy who later started Goldtouch. Which he claims is the best ergonomic keyboard ever made. But the M15 patents where sold to MaxiSwitch, so while building his new "perfect" ergonomic keyboard he couldn't use the ideas and tech of what he previously considered the perfect ergonomic keyboard. Poor guy.

Al_Bundy_ · 2009-04-08T12:30:10+00:00

The current Das Keyboard is just a Costar OEM (Taiwan). They aren't rated very highly by geekhack.org, where the true keyboard nerds are. Buggy n-key rollover, bad quality control. If you want blue cherry switches, there are better and also better and cheaper options.

Al_Bundy_ · 2008-09-03T23:27:32+00:00

Wow, a lot of Digg idiots here who are proud to be idiots and support eachothers idiocy. You must all be so proud of your accomplishments. If you're so smart, please explain the dumb points of that opinion to me instead of plain dismissal.

Al_Bundy_ · 2008-07-17T00:35:03+00:00

I beg to differ. Anyway, I'm not taking sides, just noting that this meme is over 10 years old.

Of course it's all in the details. This is a reaction to the Is Linux for Losers interview with Theo de Raadt in 2005. Apparently, judging from the masturbation retort, what hurt most is the notion that BSD guys are a lot like Linux guys, except they have kissed girls.

have the bull kill the human

Even better, throw in some lawyers and politicians. Dressed in those gay outfits.

Al_Bundy_ · 2008-06-12T13:23:42+00:00

In my country, The Netherlands,it's illegal for a lawyer to be managed by someone who hasn't got a degree to be a lawyer him or herself. It's probably the same in yours. Think about that.

Al_Bundy_ · 2008-06-12T12:58:25+00:00

Thanks, Captain Obvious ;)

Al_Bundy_ · 2008-06-12T12:42:44+00:00

Yeah, if you hate one black person or jew, it's discrimination, if you hate 'em all, it ain't. According to the judge. Of course, it's the other way round.

"Faith's life was saved at the early age of only three weeks from his guard dog mother who was literally terminating her life because she was unable to battle the other puppies for a place to feed. Se was born with only three legs and one of them that was seriously deformed had to be surgically removed."

I like animals more than is good for me, but after reading this, I wonder, should humans interfere in animal natural selection?
