Comment Microsoft Natural for me (Score 1) 73

My favourite keyboard is the Microsoft Natural 4000.

It has wonderful feeling keys, and it's a split keyboard to give your wrists a break over straight keyboards.

And there are several do-nothing keys across the top that can be easily programmed to do whatever you want with a short script that calls xdotool (or ydotool if you're using wayland).

Nicest keyboard ever, in my opinion. Unfortunately, also no longer available.

I don't know what I'll do if my current keyboard quits. Does anyone still make a good alternative to the MS Natural keyboard?

Comment Java (Score 1) 63

Interesting that they have the kids write the answers for this exam using Java.

I can see a plus side ("universal" implementation) and a really big negative (Oracle).

I was in school pre-computer age so there was no such thing at that time, but didn't the kids learn Pascal in school some years back?

I suppose any language will do, more-or-less, since they'll all show you functions and function calls, arrays, variable types and data handling.
