We've got quite the storm right now. Just about pitch black, too.

Over lunch I was checking out new CPU specs and came across a new category of hardware: Physics cards. New games apparently "need" more than graphics acceleration, they should have physics acceleration too, since CPUs are no more optimized for physics calculations than they are for 3d rendering calculations. More busy stuff on the screen at a time, yay. Just what I need, surely. (Oh, wait, I'm not the target market. OK.)

Speaking of which, this video makes me happy.

"would seem natural"

...

pun NOT intended.

That's OK, I didn't see it as a pun. Which, for me, says something.

Exactly what, I'm probably too tired to figure out. ;)

Crap, I'm guilty of laughing at my own joke while everybody else is stone-faced.

sigh.

[da-lj.livejournal.com]

Well, now we can all laugh together.

?

You're laughing at me, not with me, I can tell!

*runs to his room and slams the door*

YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND ME!!!

Sorry, channelling the 11 year old creature^Wchild with whom I share a roof.

Well, naturally. (No pun intended, implied, or acknowedged. Contents of bag may have settled).

...to quote somebody else today, "I've stopped hitting control-w as frequently since I've gotten a mac. I tend to close windows by accident."

Windows, or applications? I occasionally miskey, and hit splat-q meaning to have hit splat-w. Fortunately, it's usually in Firefox, and they've finally trapped that when you have multiple tabs open (I don't believe it used to).

It gets really annoying when I try to close a tab though, and realize I'd used a hotkey to get to my Firefox desktop but not changed the focus - usually from IRC. That quits the current channel... sigh.

well, just now I hit splat-w instead of ctrl-w (when I really wanted to just delete the highlighted text) and closed a browser-tab, which was conveniently lj-compose, so there was still a draft.

d'oh.

aiee.

Sometimes it's tempting to switch to Dvorak to avoid the splat-q/splat-w issue.
