that’s what I always heard as well, but what do I know, I sat next the valedictorian in HS and just stole her typing disk at the end of class every day while I played on microsoft paint during class.

Who is the smart one now? Well done. Work smarter, not harder.

Who remembers the Encarta Encyclopedia that you used to get with your new microsoft computer? Sometimes I go to wayback machine just to look at old websites. So basic and cheap looking.

WOW…that’s a blast from the past.

I could be wrong, but I believe the initial intention of the qwerty keyboard setup was actually to slow down peoples’ typing. Could be wrong about that.

With the Dvorak keyboard, a typist can type about 400 of the English language’s most common words without ever leaving the home row. The comparable figure on QWERTY is 100. The home row letters on Dvorak do a total of 70% of the work. On QWERTY they do only 32%.

The Dvorak keyboard sounds very good. However, a keyboard need to do more than just “sound” good, and unfortunately, Dvorak has failed to prove itself superior to QWERTY. It appears that many of the studies used to test the effectiveness of Dvorak were flawed. Many were conducted by the good professor himself, creating a conflict of interest question, since he had a financial interest in the venture. A U.S. General Services Administration study of 1953 appears to have been more objective. It found that it really didn’t matter what keyboard you used. Good typists type fast, bad typists don’t.

hey howabout that. link.

It’s too late now, but I heard the way keyboards are configured isn’t the most optimal way to type. But someone decided to put them in a specific order and now everyone just follows it.

I’ve heard that too, and someone came out with the “optimal” keyboard, and nobody wanted it.

The fuck is a home row?

Where your 8 fingers should be positioned when you start typing. ASDF + JKL:

Vez, do you keep your fingers on home row when you type? Or are you a hunt and peck-er?

The fuck is a home row? My fingers hover naturally around ASD and NIO{. Think this from having swollen broken hands and it being too cramped on laptops to type wanker secretary style.

h-town, i’d much rather be known for funny and smart comments. those are rare

for a typo? niger, please

/rambo’d

If it happens once in a while, it’s an accident. If it happens every single time, it’s intentional. Don’t lie.

It is what it is. You’ve found a schtick.

oh yes. the attention i crave. let’s do this, let’s wonder why so many people fucking care about a typo. i never bring the shit up

It was a joke. Lighten up.

/this neediness is why folks get made fun of secretly on twitter by the 13 year old In crowd who are unable to tell someone up front they are not welcome to events

I don’t have a twitter.

/can we move on now?

i just seem to hit that key when i want an apostrophe. idc that much about perfect comments, so i don;t change it. you may notice that sometimes i don;t make that mistake, but keep this to yourself. you may also notice that even today smallie bigs made the ; mistake and skated

not a convincing argument.

First one looked real, this one is eh. Hard to believe that someone doesn’t know it’s a set up when a 6’9 dude strolls in.
