<0> i got my first at 13
<1> I was 12
<2> or "originals" as far as I would know them... people here in '96.
<0> window 95 really pissed me off too
<3> rip: I spilled a cup of water on my keyboard today at work :/
<0> got linux before i turned 14
<3> I had to fully dis***emble it, dry it out, and fix it
<0> CompHobby its a built in one on a laptop
<4> I got Linux when I was 16.
<3> because somehow in 15 minutes some tap water corroded all the way through one of the silver ink lines
<0> i bought the phillips screwdrier set today
<2> water isn't too bad for a keyboard
<0> gonna change it lager
<3> MarkT-: evidently the tap water here is fricken nasty, because I thought that too
<0> i remember the early days of slackware
<2> it's liquids like pop or coffee that are a real problem.
<4> Hey, I'm celebrating ten years with Linux this year. :-)
<0> suse
<3> I had to pull it apart and use a pencil to go over a corroded area for the qwfg keys to work again
<2> corroded area?
<2> What corroded?
<3> tiny little corroded spot right next to G
<3> the tap water ate through the silver ink line there
<2> your water corrodes plastic?
<3> no, the conductor
<2> uhmm... most keyboards these days don't have any exposed conductors... everything's in a touch membrane.
<3> since modern keyboards are three sheets of mylar (two with conductive ink tracks on them, one as a spacer) plus the rubber membrane and the keycaps
<3> yeah, the water went between the sheets
<2> how did it get in there?
<4> It cheated!
<2> obviously
<3> I think it went in around the alignment pins that go through the layers but I'm not too sure
<3> because I tipped an entire nalgene of water over onto it... and a good amount got inside
<3> well, a bad amount really
<2> I can't for the life of me figure out how water could get underneath the membrane
<2> because it's completely enclosed
<3> the PCB was fairly simple though, a single cypress semiconductors TSOP package chip and a serial EEPROM
<3> not quite.
<2> unless there was a hole in it.
<3> there is the bottom sheet of plastic, with the ink conductors on the top, then a sheet with just holes in it for spacing
<3> then a sheet with ink conductors on the bottom
<3> then the rubber membrane buttons
<3> all of those have plastic pegs going vertically through them to keep it aligned right
<3> my guess is that the water went around the pegs and was drawn between the plastic sheets by capillary action
<3> and since I was an idiot and went "well since it is still working it must not have gotten inside" electrolysis dissolved the silver ink conductor in one spot :/
<2> I'm still at a loss... as far as I knew it was completely closed.
<2> My disability advisor tells me that my salary expectations in my field are unrealistically high...
<2> I expect a minimum of $30k/year before taxes... and he thinks that's too high...
<2> According to monster.ca's salary wizard, the 50th percentile for an entry level programmer in my area is $45,000... I'm trying to figure out how he thinks $30k is too high..?
<5> anyone else having problems with gmail right now?
<6> besides boring use of javascript where not needed?
<5> let me rephrase: is anyone else having problems accessing the gmail main webpage right now?
<6> working for me.
<6> main page, login, main message display.
<5> hrm. rebooting firefox seemed to fix the issue.
<7> mark|away: what field?
<7> oops, nm.
<5> bah. only for a second. now it's serving up blank pages again. (source indicates it thinks javascript isn't enabled, but clearly it is. hrm.)
<5> 30k/year for what field?
<5> software engineer?
<5> doh, he quit

<11> one more
<3> cout for the win
<11> :)
<3> too bad there isn't a channel mode to force them to stay here this way.
<12> I think I'll cut my wrists
<12> you ruined my movie :(
<11> I wonder if the bots could be modified to devoice rather than ban. and as someone said refuse to give voice to some
<11> that would be amusing
<3> yeah, that would be good
<3> let them stay but just not give them voice
<13> yea. that's sort of the whole reason we have +m. because it's way more fun to devoice and mock them than to ban then kick
<3> heh
<14> OrngeTide: :(
<11> those two tried it on #linux as well. didn't do it for long though
<10> I would have been faster, but I'm out of practice
<3> it's just some highschool punk who thinks he's got a big **** because he can flood inactive channels anyways
<14> I would have been faser than that, but I don't have ops :p
<13> zid_, so no harddrive for you. it turned out to be broken :(

<13> zid_, the 40 seems good. i can send that
