You might want to look into Colemak, which keeps some shortcut keys in place, is easier to learn than Dvorak and has similar speed/ergonomic advantages. Of course some shortcuts like vi's hjkl break but it keeps zxcv in place.

I guess it's just my bias/skepticism because against flashbulb memories but this sums up my position: "Flashbulb memories are not special in their accuracy, as previously claimed, but only in their perceived accuracy." http://pss.sagepub.c

I'm kind of skeptical to these type of memories, called flashbulb memories, since most of the time subjects give vivid details and are confident when in fact it's just made up details they believed they experienced. So AFAIK I don't remembe

Concerts/shows. I rarely buy music but I still want to support the artists I like and its a great experience. I tend not to go to shows that only sell via Ticketmaster or are exorbitantly priced.

I've used Open Office in the past and advocated it to my friends but I hypocritically use Office. The ribbon for all it's criticism seems to be highly functional, aesthetically pleasing and usable (using pictorial representations that aren'

I must be uninformed about something but why is Pirate Bay getting all the flack from the DMCA; having their servers raided, going to court, this. Aren't there a dozen other torrent indexers to persecute?

Zero-tolerance, in schools anyway, is zero-thought for the administration and principles, having to deal with the grey cases, setting exceptions when they're education administrators not lawyers. I doubt a student who did a similar action (

Sorry are you serious? Why would a Hindu that is pro-arranged marriage be on a dating website? Arranged marriages were a severe form of keeping the caste system in tact but that's not applicable now. But then again your type of logic can pr

On a side note, if you don't know who Terrence Tao is you should read his bio. It's pretty interesting: child prodigy, math olympiad, Fields Medal etc.

If Microsoft doesn't use Silverlight, do you expect Adobe to? Or rather they'd use something as tentative is HTML5's video tags? Sure it's annoying but it's to be expected.

I think it's nothing more than an updated gif. Google Notebook was out of beta for a few years before they pulled the plug. Albeit the circumstances were different but Google has the power to uproot any of their products as they see fit wit

So true; he has 27 diverse countries to flagrantly cherry pick from, however when I read "But talk is cheap, and these findings may indicate desire as much as reality" I was amazed for a second thinking he was going to analyze his technique
