In high school (back in the mid 90's) we still had typing class. One formal class and you'll be able to touch type with the best of them (at least 40words per min).

I don't get how they don't offer things like typing class, speed reading classes, and note taking classes in middle school/high school anymore.

for about 3 years this is the keyboard I used: Das Ultimate Keyboard



it really separates those who know how to touch-type from the "hunt and peckers". I gave it away to a friend and wish I never did...the newer models aren't really the same.

Dvorak is a ***** to learn and readjust to. I prefer QWERTY, and I use a beautiful split qwerty keyboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823109143 -- this ****'s my baby

reminds me. when someone starts singing, and they sound like a dying marsupialed cat, and then they say "oh, i love singing! all my friends tell me i a have a great singing voice." so whats the deal with that?

1. are they that oblivious to reality?

2. what about these so called friends? are they trying to be nice at the expense of humanity? are they also deaf and/or oblivious?

Sorry to digress, but I am howling w/laughter at this stream- I threw my wife's UGGS out. She thinks her Aunt stole them. It's a win/win!

I was walking in soho one day and this couple stopped me and asked me where the Ugg store was. All I could think of saying was, "really? Out of all of these people, you think I would know where the Ugg store is?"

Because we all know the QWERTY layout (AZERTY if you're French, QWERTZ if you're German), it would be a pig to learn a whole new system. Wouldn't even know where to buy a Dvorak keyboard or laptop anyway.

is dvorak actually faster tho? i heard that the original tests conducted by dvorak were kinda corrupt

I think the Dvorak layout was supposed to reduce unnecessary finger movement by placing frequently used letters on the middle/home row, like the vowels, along with the most frequently used consonants.

Wasn't QWERTY originally designed to prevent early mechanical typewriters from jamming, by placing the frequently used letters away from each other? It's become the standard for well over a hundred years that everyone knows. There's always been alternative layouts and methods, but nothing has ever replaced the industry standard. One was called the Twiddler, a one handed device.

+1. also, moms who dress up like teenagers...teenagers that wear forever 21, ugg boots, hair extensions, large headphones and logo-spewed designer bags.

People that put the number stickers on their car because they run a half or full marathon.

oh, I also don't get why people would wear **** like this:



so you walk up the bar at tgi friday's and you're thinking the chicks are gonna think you're a racecar mechanic?

Morning people. I hate you F***ers.
