When are you going to be banned anyway?

I still consider that wiki of yours (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Mechanical+Keyboards+Sorted+By+Switch) trolling.

You should ask that from our great overlord... Or maybe you could try to report me...

Also, why does a little humor in signature, bother you so much, not like it takes much space like it is...

If your keyboards are worth more than your house, sell all your keyboards and get a better house!

Ripster just hates any other website that has a keyboard subforum other than geekhack, and if it has a sticky or wiki explaining actuation points incorrectly, thats even more ripster hatred points.

Its a forum for computer overclocking, but a good amount of members there are prepubesent teens that still need to vent some hormones. Ideally its ment for the discussion of computer parts and gear, but due to the age distribution its got a heavy undertone towards gaming.

Watching TV and playing video games makes you stupid?
What a narrow horizon ~_~

Its like saying that reading makes you stupid...
It all depends on what you read/watch/play and how you interpret, process n remember the given input!
If you only read cheesy dime novels you will learn far less than from watching educational stuff on TV, eh?

Btw, I didn't learn english in school,
I learned it mainly from playing non localized video games and watching tv series with english subtitles :3

DeskThorTheMovie is lucky to get 46 posts in a month.

My thoughts...

I'm fairly one-track (Kinesis, Alphagrip, Rollermouse, Datahand, Colemak, and some associated ergo and mod stuff). I know my place. My posts there were mostly on a couple threads of back and forth Q&A. More than a few people here have been extremely cool with info, help, and just very cool in general. Most of it in PMs/emails. There have been a couple ****s that I reacted to in the forums, which I regret, but I'm human. Plus, they would never say that **** to my face. Forum pussies.

I'm a forty-something wannabe elitist.

Mean people suck, and a generally deficient in areas and they try to over compensate by being weenies.

Ripsters nickels are fine, accurate or not. I mean really, how far off can they be????

I've been busy working out of town for months and have been unable to adequately follow up with several people that wanted to purchase items from me. I am very sorry to have let all of you down, I never thought it would go on for so long and be so difficult.

I worked 3 years as a technical assistant in the engineering industry. Developing testing methods was one of my jobs. The ripometer is as scientific as it can get!

HardForum doesn't seem to excel at anything AFAIK.

Post by: sinis on Wed, 08 June 2011, 00:58:57: Well, there is always something to improve. Even the best testing method. The ripometer can conveniently be done with all day instruments, and yields significantly accurate reproducable results. To improve it in accuracy is done with high costs to convenience. Beeing too precise is also an indication to people who cannot deal with numbers.

Post by: sinis on Wed, 08 June 2011, 01:21:21: Additionally, it wont get more accurate unless you rip the switches off the board and put it into one of those (http://www.zwick.de/de/produkte/laengenaenderungs-aufnehmer/beruehrende-messsysteme/langweg-laengenaenderungsaufnehmer.html) for testing. So you can make the force-way diagrams, cherry provides.

If you do it, its really a ripometer.

Nope. I asked webwit if he wanted his account and info retained or deleted. He asked me to delete it. I delayed in hopes he would cool down and resume his relationship with geekhack. When it was clear that was not going to happen, I fulfilled his request.
