I don't think being a better fighter has anything to do with it. It's not like they'll be facing off before starting a fair fight. One will attack while the other isn't expecting it.

I really dislike the placement of the Insert key below the double-height Delete on the UK version (apparently it's the same on the US one too). But the keyboard looks so damn sexy I've forced my muscle memory to adapt.

Doctors say South Africa has some of the greatest need for penis transplants anywhere in the world.

Made me laugh, but it's obviously a serious problem.

He only said that suicide is a symptom of mental illness. He did not say that suicide was a symptom of other conditions and circumstances.

You should go everywhere accompanied by a young, nubile swimsuit model in a revealing costume.

I completely agree.

Assuming your identity isn't given away by the fact that you're the only person wearing infrared emitting glasses. Anyway, for the full effect, you should walk around naked so you can't be identified by the clothes you're wearing.

That seems fair. Screwing companies out of money should be the customers default position. After all, the companies' default position is screwing money out of its customers. That said, if a company has my good will, I'm not nearly so niggardly.

With another "mode" key (Num-Lock?), he could turn the right-half into a numeric keypad, so that JKL becomes 456. Maybe another one (errr... Edit-Lock?), so they become Delete-End-PgDn, or Left-Down-Right? Fuck it, I'll just design my own. And write an article about it.
