Humoristic IPv6 "Killer App"->

Submitted by noring

They have created a "Killer App" in a humoristic attempt to spark the interest for IPv6 among end-users. http://ip6.no/index-en.html"

Comment: I use something other than touch/home keys (Score 2) 362

I never learned touch correctly, but I do type pretty fast without looking by using a weird combination of fingers. I rest my hands in a sort of home-position, but then I use fewer fingers to type. It's what have worked best for me. To describe how I use my fingers would be very weird, but one could say for most of my typing I use 3 fingers on each hand, in addition to right thumb for space and right pinky for enter/return.

When I write code I usually spend more time thinking than typing, so speed haven't really been an issue. I score 60+ WPM and allthough that is a far cry from the 120WPM mentioned in the article it really is fast enough for me.

Comment: Expedia eats up profit margins for the hotels (Score 3, Informative) 279

According to a hotel manager I know expedia wanted 1/3 commision on hotel rooms.

Sure, he appreciated the extra business, but at the same time it was a major cut in their profit margin.

And expedia (and other hotel booking services) now wield so much power that it's hard for hotels to say now. More so for hotels that are not part of a chain that can afford to say no.

To understand a program you must become both the machine and the program.
