Looks mushy...

FTFY.
For most purposes, LaTeX is likely overkill or plain "fancy", but once you get a document setup it does typeset long texts like no other.


Oh, and do stubbles count as a potential beard?

Oh right, that would make sense given the title of the whole bar. Why didn't I spot that before...

No, no, GH doesn't copy, it just does it bigger.

If 7bit runs his scripts, there'll be spinoffs in a bunch of languages nobody would think about making on any other forum.

While interesting, are we sure we want to have some of Ripster's pics posted (from the off-topic section) pop up in the thumbnail bar? Or does it filter for those forums?

Way too much focus on the touch screens of today in that article, they are still too inefficient as pointed out by some guys.

Given enough technological improvements, "input screens" will likely kill the keyboard, unless neural interfaces would win first.

The RollerMouse appears to have a scroll wheel smack in the middle of the two large buttons on its front panel...

The more coders you put on a project (N), the number of women on the project nears zero (1 / N^2).

So, to have infinitely many women on a project, we just have to kill off all the coders!

No, that would cause 'divide by zero' errors.

My model F AT keyboard has a similar gap, so I don't find it odd.

At one point we will have to pick the companies we want to add to the Main page. I've added Ducky and Vortex to the "more" page by adding them to the Keyboard Manufacturers and Brands category.

it wont, cuz who wants to use a touch screen with no response dearer than a mech keyb and also if you wanna sit relaxed in a chair you dont want to hold or lay the touchscreen to type it. tl;dr keyboards are more ergonomic. The difference between "killing" and "making it irrelevant" is just semanti...

Well, I think they do gained a few points by taking some ideas of the µTron keyboard. The Esc key being out of reach is only a true annoyance if you use the key regularly like Vimmers do. If the keyboard ever comes out, having the keys reprogrammable might be a saving feature. DISCLAIMER: I didn't p...

What are those slots at the top of the Pro version for?
How much does the pro version lift the keyboard with the edge it has?

I'm in, but I don't know whether it is a good idea to mention the wiki...

What is this hassle? I log in my bank account, enter IBAN/BIC and amount, and click send. Easier than paypal, and free. Also my bank aren't freedom hating fascists like paypal/ebay. Well, maybe Sixty doesn't like to hand out his bank account nummer. I can't see why that would be an issue though, as...

I really hope Paypal comes through with my money... What is taking them so long?!?

Is there no other payment option?

I guess the money transfer between my bank account and Paypal was delayed due to initiating the transfer in the weekend...

Patience!

Argh, I'll have to top up my Paypal account... I guess this will take a few days...

There's a thread about it on GH: http://geekhack.org/showpost.php?p=323501&postcount=15

I'd like to pay by wire transfer, if you don't mind.


(Hope it isn't too late to add this order or that a programmable version will be released within a month...)

Could we go for re-programmable then?

EDIT: Just having a blank keyboard controller would be a start (I think I might be able to lend an IC programming device), but having some kind of utility to write on some extra flash memory to be added to the board would be great.

Any news on moving the Fn key to get a right Alt key? If not, I hope there'll be another group buy when the ISO version gets made, or whenever they release a kit version (which hopefully includes a re-programmable controller - Holtek for example seems to have an EPROM version of their keyboard contr...

I use a bit of string and a popsicle stick for those larger keys. Here's how to make your own key-pulling rig: Make an overhand loop knot into the rope. Pull one of the free stands through the loop and put the two free strands together again. You should now have 2 loops. Put one loop e.g. on the lef...

Word, clears are the new reds - although more for buckling-spring and MX black lovers.

500000 characters should be enough for anybody...

Also, nkg's posts had (only) 25199 characters if my 'wc' utility does it's job right.


... I'm almost glad I didn't partake in this giveaway.

I'm glad my G80-3000 LQCDE arrived. The retailer did tell this black model was going to be declared EOL, but did'nt add whether it was Cherry or the retailer deciding to do so.

Problem solved. Thanks!

Currently, the forum list and unread post lists don't seem to have a "go to last unread post" button. The only thing there is the large "go to last post".

phpBB does support it, as can be seen in the icon legend over at the phpBB forums. I guess the button was just left out of the template...

It would be nice if there was some sort of end user programmability for these keyboards. You can never make everyone happy with the one layout. They are discussing that at KBC at the moment. It looks like they will offer a kit version that may or may not include a custom controller. A kit which inc...

Akh no! Interbrew ruined Hoegaarden for me!

I haven't tried the Hoegaarden Grand Cru though, don't know if that is more like the old recipe.
