In a situation where Alps sliders display a legitimate color difference, an authority on Alps switches endorses the idea, and the new name is damn cool without changing a jot of other information, your opposition seems deliberately and pointlessly contrarian.

SKCL and SKCM green have been called ...

I know, but that doesn't matter at all.

Too late. You shall _not_ change name that is already established (well, you can, but be prepared to get kicked in the nuts - like that guy that called the SGI keyboards 'bigfoots' if I ever get hold of him).

Regarding computers I still have some parts of my Origin 2000 left and the case of a Cobalt Qube (that is now a stand for Plants).
But I tend to sell or throw away stuff that I don't use any more.

So he turned a fugly PC into a fugly PC *shrug*. At least no real computers were harmed!

I don't think I want to buy my computers from someone who doesn't know what a CPU is.


Speaking of CPUs... Apparently a lot of people consider a "CPU" to be a full desktop. I have...

Back in the day (when a computer had been more than a single box) the term 'CPU' was actually used like that.

I would expect a list of search results (with the Alps page as the first result), too, instead of just as redirection to the page. The design of the pages could probably be improved by considering that a page with information about the company was maybe not what the reader was searching for in most ...

Ohaimark is right, the front page has _way_ too much text.
I'id throw out any text in the middle and replace it with a big search field and a link to google - to actually have a usable search. […]

At least drop the utterly useless 'Latest posts from the Deskthority wiki talk forum'.

So the eBay Int'l shipping service is worth using?

Yes, definately.

Almost all of those editing keyboards with the super colorful keys are Avid keyboards, Macally is the only other brand I can think of that sells the hyper-colorful editing keyboards.

There are companies like Logickeyboard ...

They (and braces) are the only reasons to use ANSI layout at all.

These aren't part of the Xerox Daybreak 6085 line though, these are the Docutech 135 keyboards [...]

Ah, ok, I've misread something. They're basically worthless then.

Ah, well don't you seem like a snobby fellow. :)

I guess being part of giant printing machines, they probably didn't see much rigorous typing action.

6085 were normal office computers, not part of a printing system (the generated documents were meant to be printed on Xerox printers, of course). They had been the successor of the Star (they were ...

Btw. here is a short history of UGs (Siemens) 32 button box (PFK): http://www.plmworld.org/index.php?mo=cm&op=ld&fid=240

Preprocessor-commands have to start at the beginning of a line, no indentation allowed iirc.


No. You can add as many whitespace as you like before a preprocessor (and spaces and tabs between the '#' and the preprocessor directive).
See '6.10 Preprocessing directives' in the C99 standard.

A forum - like this - with (almost) unusable quoting is (almost useless.

And anybody who values form over function is obviosly an Apple user

Hi
I need some help with understanding and installing TMK firmware on Teensy 3.0
My first goal is to install one of TMK keyboards on Teensy 3.0 and ultimately write my own firmware based on TMK.

1. What does change in Build Firmware and Program Controller for Teensy 3.0 (ARM processor MK20DX ...

Interesting, last time I saw one of the 32 button boxes (SGI, Sun, HP and IBM all had them) used with CATIA has been quite _some_ time ago.

You do too. Although that ('vertikale Preisbindung', can't be arsed to look up the english legal term) is illegal in the EU, that happens way too often.


Now that's an argument

It wasn't meant as argument about massdrop (I neither care much 'bout massdrop nor this set of keycaps ...

Roccat's Kone Pure (guess that's the same for all of their mice) driver supports 5 different profiles, each profile can be switched on by three different executables (programs).

But I've never tried that feature.

The conspiracy here is the craving people have to believe.

Of course they hadn't unlocked the phones - that's wasn't necessary back than.

Btw. since 1st of January Cherry (computer peripherals) isn't part of the automotive company any more.

In the Granite set there are four keycaps with a '€' legend, so either at least three of the six languages included in the set don't need the 'E' key with the '€' symbol, or we have at least on layout with multiple '€' symbols.

Finnish and swedish layout actually have 2 EUR legends, one at 'E ...
