DRUGS ARE NOT HARMFUL! YOU ARE A FUÇKING IDIOT WHO BELIEVES THE MEDIA, GOVERNMENT AND RELIGION'S TRIPE! Some drugs are harmful, but many are not. Including most of them that I use.

And I said I have some friends IRL....

Keyboard layout alternatives to QWERTY

As explained above, the QWERTY layout was a legacy from mechanical typewriters. In contrast, some keyboard layouts are specifically designed for speed. The most common is the Dvorak layout; more recently, hobbyists have designed other layouts in an attempt to improve on Dvorak and to be easier to learn for existing QWERTY users[4]. The fastest keyboard so far is the stenotype — some people who use a stenotype type faster than 300 words per minute[citation needed].

You're obviously the one who doesn't understand, since you're utterly wrong. This is the perfect place for the phrase "ignorant bastard".

Yeah, but those are hard as fuçk to use.

[IllBashU]

how do u use them? and how many letters are there on that keyboard is there a keyboard layout?

i found one...


Stenotype keys normally are black with no markings. This is the keyboard layout of the American stenotype machine:

Stenotype Machine Keyboard Layout

In "home position," the fingers of the left hand rest along the gap between the two main rows of keys to the left of the asterisk (little finger on the "S" to forefinger on the "H" and "R"). These fingers are used to generate initial consonants. The fingers of the right hand lie in the corresponding position to the right of the asterisk (forefinger on "FR" to little finger on "TS"), and are used for final consonants. The thumbs produce the vowels.

The system is roughly phonetic, e.g. the word "cat" would be written by a single stroke comprising the initial K, the vowel A, and the final T.

To enter a number, a user presses the number bar at the top of the keyboard at the same time as the other keys, much like the shift key on a QWERTY based keyboard. The illustration shows which lettered keys correspond to which digits. Numbers can be chorded just as letters can. They read from left to right across the keyboard. It's possible to write 137 in one stroke by pressing the number bar along with SP-P, but it takes three separate strokes to write 731. Many court reporters and stenocaptioners write out numbers phonetically instead of using the number bar.

There are various ways to combine letters to make different sounds; different court reporters use different theories in their work. Although most writing is similar, most stenographers cannot read another's work, as it is highly personalized.

Some court reporters use scopists to translate and edit their work. A scopist is a person who is trained in the phonetic language, English punctuation, and usually in legal formatting. They are especially helpful when a court reporter is working so much that they do not have time to edit their own work. Both scopists and proofreaders work closely with the court reporter to ensure an accurate transcript.

Well you have to do chords and stuff. So you have to push multiple keys to get certain things. And you have to type phonetically. For example, (this is from teh Wiki) to type cat, you press K, A, and T simultaneously.

how the **** is that so fast then?

[paintba||er]

Because you can type whole syllables at a time, rather than character by character. So if you're good at it then you can type very fast. But it's really difficult to become good at it.

Although drugs may not be harmful, it's the actions you do under the influence that make the substance harmful.

You sound as though you sit in your house wearing a tin-foil hat, under the impression that the Christians and Government are watching you. Or worse,

But that's bullshit. I've never done anything harmful because I was under the influence. It's not like you can't think about things. You just do it slower. (well, if you're on depressants) I can be wasted, but still know that it's not a good idea to go drive or something. And some drugs actually make you perform safer actions. Such as pot. If you're driving while you're stoned, then you'll be very careful. If the light is starting to turn, then you'll probably stop, compared to when you're not stoned and you hit the gas to get through in time. Then when you're trying to pull out of somewhere you'll probably wait waay longer than necessary, and won't pull out until there is no one coming for three miles.
