I used to have one kind like that, to damn hard to type.

I don't know what the hell is up with me and my typing lately.

Meh, you'd look pretty futuristic using it, you'd just look like a dumbass with all the typos

The other brands are better but I couldn't find any pictures.

The roll-up keyboards own.

It reminds me of the material used to make calculator and remote buttons. That strange rubber with the black dot (I think it's metal) on back.

Thats exactly what they are essentially. Just instead of keys and plastic to cover the inside theres only rubber.

Resize lazybones! I mean why even specify the Large if you're not going to have a small, fux is this, $tarbuck$?

Tall is a small /old and lame stand up joke.

byte size has more to do with format then physical size, so that joke is kind of meh

jpg is not small bug XBOXHUEG now? (used to paint compressing everything into smallish portions with bad clarity)

actually there are file types out there that will reduce smaller then JPEG, but it sacrifices a lot of quality usually, though there are some files that won't differ to much. But jpeg is a de facto standard. It's like MP4 having been out for a long time now, but everyone is still using MP3s for everything.

I didn't make the picture anyways, dug it up off goggle.com google.com.

I'm pretty sure of that Shiggles.

just how me and Coop leech off PB and have locked to public accounts, but then who would want our pics anyway. Kermit Klompen, MOOGEN? Wandering samurai reforming society? Exactly.

Kinda like V12 doesn't really outclass V8 or even V6, and the 4 cyclinoid econobox laughs all the way to the bank with lower gas prices.

Actually, MP[EG]4 is the video format. M4A is the audio stream, just like how MP3 is the audio stream to MPEG (3) files. And M4A is pretty heavily used by Apple and iTunes.

Foldable keyboards are just as bad as that funky Dvorak keyboard. If you touch type the soft non-clicking keys make it essentially impossible to type. They also tend to tilt over into other keys.

JPEG isn't a constant quality format. The quality is variable and a high quality JPEG can be larger than a PNG or bitmap of he same image.

You think that's bad? Wuss. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

I own what I think is the most annoying keyboard on the face of the Earth.

Good luck getting used to this son of a bitch. It's hard to even hold without hitting keys on the back of it.

It is real. I have it sitting on my desk gathering dust while I use a keyboard that actually works well.

Well, when holding it, you have to pick between two things: almost dropping it, and hitting extra keys like crazy.

Those are some pretty scary keyboards, looks like those typing machines from horror movies.

Why the hell did you buy it?

Tact
Sep 30, 2007, 06:28 PM
I didn't. I got it from somebody who didn't want it. I figured I could brag about having the most annoying keyboard in existence.

6 SHIFT keys on the front, overkill!

And they're in three sets of two, so you have to hit whichever Shift key you need for each situation. >_>

Wouldn't that make it harder to type for a left handed guy?

Unless he's some sort of left handed 10 key accountant.

And just buy the 10 key thing seperately for $10 and put it on the left of your KB anyway.

Dual wield! 10 key x 2 = 20 key! Super accountant.

guess this is one of many reason Cisco released a new IT Essential curriculum. One year off of not getting it. Juniors get it this year, juniors of last year (meaning me and my class) missed it. Heard they dropped most of the DOS and 95 stuff (because knowing how that megabyte of ram is used is just oh so useful, not.) And added all current info. At least we get the new CCNA curriculums, though we're one of those "evaluation" type classes, have to report errors we find and such.

also, i know Apple uses MP4/M4A (whichever, what we were taught was that MP3 was originally for video, then started to be used just for audio. Then people started using MP4 for video to some extent.) However, I hear a lot of complaining from people, having to convert files to MP4/M4A now and going sort of "WTF?" about it because it's new and they don't see a problem with the old version. Planned obseletion in the name of advancement can be a bitch ;o
