[YoungMichael88]

That's not always necessarily true. Audience plays a factor. But then knowing your audience comes into play as well.

Hmmm there was a time when Halverson would try and convince me of the mechanical keyboard ways and I thought it was sooo stupid. But he pestered me long enough over and over until one day I just thought to myself "Hey I have a little extra money right now" and bought one. I was the wrong audience at one point and ever since that day I have never had "a little extra money"

[CPTBadAss]

Stupid Halverson. Leading YoungMike down a rabbit hole where his poor wallet is always empty.

I wonder if Chix dig' the Ergodox.

To my knowledge Ergodox has only been in the hands of the male-keyboard-elites.

like the day the cleaning peopel supervisor was going to put her random piece of paper under my board to see if her people were cleaning properly and I was like do you know how much that keyboard cost?

careful... in 3rd grade, when I attempted defense using metal yard stick.. cut my own hand on it..  Too much torque, too little surface area..

really? i guess it's one of those urban myths then..

Although I don't find it impossible that an aluminum bat could deflect bullets.  I guess since they're mostly hollow, it probably wouldn't..

it just has to be thick enough... and you have to be very precise about hitting the bullet with the bat

you need to get the bat blessed by a shinto priest for +50% critical ...  that should improve your odds of deflecting the bullet.

When you name name our computer after a realm from a fantasy series and have your hard drives named after cities in said realm.  Especially when you take the time to correlate they type, layout, and easy of entrance to the city to correspond to specs on the different hard drives.  My large raptor drive is Ched Nesad, my small raptor is Menzoberranzan, and my large storage drive is Mithril Hall.

You know you are a geek when you use Windows 98.

[Melvang]

in the age of Windows 8 and touch screen devices you can still navigate windows 3.11 without a mouse with 100% confidence.  That was on my parents first computer and the mouse cord got yanked hard enough to rip pads of the mobo for the mouse connector so my brother and I got a crash course in keyboard shortcuts.  Sorry don't have much dos experience

You have more computer/electronics parts than car parts.

I am clearly NOT a geek then.  My storage locker is about 45% tools, 45% car parts, and 10% other stuff.

Power Macs don't have Motorola chips. They have PowerPC chips in them. And System 5 and 6 are not capable of running on PowerPC hardware. Those are designed for the 68k's.
