DNC Announces Plans to Learn Nothing from This
  • I think our hope following this moment is obstructionism. In congress or by blue state governors or otherwise.

    I'll be around for the next election if one happens, but I would suggest coming up with a plan B.

  • DNC Announces Plans to Learn Nothing from This
  • They should learn how to win, for one.

    You know what they need more of? Bernie's populist rhetoric. A promise that something will actually be different. Obama won on that promise, and then did nothing with it.

    15 million people don't go missing unless your party is dead.

    And bare in mind, I'm not saying anyone should have voted 3rd party; we can't do that without at least RCV. But something needs to reanimate the Democrats' corpse or we will all die at the hands of the next Mussolini.

  • Calculatable
  • I don't know the specifics, but there is such a thing as keyboard rollover. MOST KEYBOARDS—whoa, sorry. Most keyboards support up to 6 keys at once, but it might be that they're still divided into sections with lower rollover numbers, such as the arrow keys and space. Some "gaming" keyboards support up to 25 though, so your best bet if this bothers you is just upgrading to a spiffier typer.

  • Calculatable
  • There's actually a neat reason for this! The way that simple keys work, like those in a calculator, is by connecting a circuit and letting a small amount of voltage through. This is usually fine because the keypad is broken up into different rollover zones, which is how multi-key input works. But if you find and press keys that are all in the same zone, their voltages add up and can actually overwhelm the little cpu in there. Really old calculators were really easy to break because designers never thought users would need to press keys like division, multiplication, subtract, add, square and square root all at once, which as you can imagine, caused a massive power spike.

    Now, is any of this true? I have no idea dude, you're calculator was probably fucking haunted or something. I'd have taken that thing to a seance with a ouija board immediately.
