Moving along 4 dimensions with smooth analog controls is nicer than 2, and using something other than a mouse.

Might be true if that was how it worked. Even with keyboard control, you get three dimensional movement and a mouse gives analogue. What is this 4th dimension you can control, time? Not in a multi-player game unless you're talking about clipping, which isn't really control so much as an approved cheat on output timing.

I only use the keyboard for macro level actions like popping an inventory or map. Otherwise I use a customizable controller and customizable, multi-button mouse in tandem and I will guarantee that I can maneuver in 3D as well as you.

On the lighter side, auto-lock is for pussies.

Posting AC isn't *the* answer, only a part. Here on /. we frequently see ACs post with an appeal to authority, claiming national publication, having designed some new, cool and super-advanced kernel, etc. Those would need to be filtered out as well. I myself have referenced some personal project. Those too. Even the language used would have to be examined to remove certain subtext.

Allow me to substitute some words. Having technical skills doesn't necessarily mean that someone is smart, especially when it comes naturally to them. Someone without natural technical skills and are able to apply their intellect to gain them are very intelligent, however. But a lot of technicians out there don't have to think about it much. - And yes, it's nice. In both venues.

Comment Re:Quantum fluctuations != nothing (Score 2) 612

From Wiki, "fluctuation (or quantum fluctuation or vacuum fluctuation) is the temporary change in the amount of energy in a point in space,[1] as explained in Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle."

You'll note that change is time, and energy and space are explicitly mentioned.
