And today we'll have a special guest; Ripster, writer of the best-selling book, "Keyboards for Retards".
I don't get many but they keep deleting my posts.lol, I can't imagine why.
Do you spam GH shout-outs at OCN just as much?Omg, you do :mod:
I loved how OCN dissed (http://www.overclock.net/computer-peripherals/736015-microsoft-sidewinder-x4.html) a senior researcher at Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/content/team/PaulDietz.aspx) and still didn't believe him about PS/2 versus USB latency being a non-issue (http://www.overclock.net/9402514-post19.html)Well ... I do agree with you. For different reasons than you have, I think.
...
OCN needs to be more open to discussion.
Actually I was mainly posting on two technical topics there. USB versus PS/2 and NKRO.
It just took a while to turn that battleship around.

Lol - Manyak had permission to use my pics for the "All About Keys" section. However I was a bit surprised how surprisingly similar the text was as well. Never really brought it up since OCN gets so much traffic it would bring a lot of people into the mechanical keyboard fold. That Guide is gonna be at 1M hits soon.
When he was learning he hung around here a lot. Terrible, terrible avatar though.Show Image(http://i15.tinypic.com/6as6kxw.gif)
I made an account there now too. This will further let me show of my stuff to boost my ego to feel less stupid for wasting my entire income on keyboards.
Intellect.
Manyak asked me a lot of questions many moons ago. Then all the answers popped up on OCN. A lot of the GOOD pictures are mine too.
Although I might have posted them myself. I can't remember.
What can you do.
I'm surprised. Your keyboard knowledge seems a bit rusty. Ya know, that whole PS/2 thing.
ever try writing a operating system in ASM? :)

part of one :). But then I stopped working on it because I figured I'd use it for my senior project in college and I'd have all the time to finish it then.
I loved using assembly when programs were simpler - when writing a virus was as simple as hooking an interrupt by exploiting MS-DOS's TSR routines, and dial up BBS's and null modem gaming were all the rage.
But now my virus writing skills are obsolete :(
You should check out corewars...
Ah, bar jokes.
Two Prolog programmers walk into a bar. The first one goes up to the bar and asks "Can I have a pint?". The barman says "Yes."
If you get that one, you probably need to get out more.
prolog only returns yes if the query is true.
I always felt that it kills the joke when you explain the punchline :P
Thanks for the compliment but I have a Geekhack Mechanical Keyboard Guide For Beginners I'm preparing for here.
There's no chance of OCN beating us when it comes to having a keyboard forum. First off, we don't have a million mods who are a bunch of retarted ten-year-olds who block things like this (http://www.fuzzygamedev.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/*****infast.jpg).
I respectfully disagree.
Wait until you see it before you decide it's not needed.
Definitely. The swearing filter, and the particularly strong enforcement of it doesn't make much sense to me. The odds are that if you're not mature enough to see the word "****" written down on an internet page without being traumatized by it, you probably don't have anything useful to say anyway.
We also get Adult new members that come here.
It happens.
I wonder what happens with these newer ones? Autosense or BIOS? And how would you get into the BIOS?Show Image(http://techgage.com/reviews/gigabyte/890fxa_ud5/gbt_890fxaud5_06_thumb.jpg)
These are questions I'd worry about more if I gave a rat's ass about PS/2.
Neinnnn! Keine schlechten Wörter! ('No bad words' in German).
This German kid isn't very old but knows every swear word in the book:

He calls his mom a 'kleine fotze' which means 'little c***'
When my daughter was born, I made the decision that corporal punishment would not be part of my raising her. That said, I won't take that kind of abuse either. I was tempted to say that TV shows like this is staged, but it's kind of hard to get a kid to do this on demand.
Well, that was a BIT off-topic.
I just used alchohol.
We'll see. I made sure it had pictures. I like pictures.
This post is about cheerleaders. You are going offtopic.
Unix Beard Geekhack Version
Well, that's kinda obvious because the mouse and keyboard PS/2 ports are different (on older mobos, serious **** would go down if you mixed them up and plugged the wrong peripheral into the wrong port)
From my own limited experience, the worst that would happen is that things just didn't work. Given that PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports only differ in which of two pins they use for data transfer (with the other one left unconnected), that's how it should be.
Any excuse for a Cheerleader Pic!Show Image(http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/6766/gleecheerleaderoutfit5.jpg)
If you haven't yet please take a look at it (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=START+HERE+--+The+Geekhack+Mechanical+Keyboard+Guide+-+Includes+Glossary+and+Links)and tell me what you think.
I'm a little hesitant to start on ALPS in a beginners guide, especially since after the ABS M1 and Filco Zero (at least in the US) have both been discontinued so it's not a great "beginners" switch.
