I connected mine to an E-Paper display showing the weather, our shared calendar, and departure times of the next buses and trains. Oh, and it scrapes the library website to tell when we need to return books. Planning to put some Nagios graphs as well but the display starts to feel a little crowded, so maybe I should buy that Pi4?

It's only stalemate 100% of the time if you're a machine. You're not a machine, are you...? Oh god. (If I read the Wikipedia article right, there's still a variant that isn't drawn.) "This is the most challenging popular game to be solved to date, roughly one million times as complex as Connect Four." http://www.sciencemag.org/cont...

If I had the time to learn it to a decent level, go/weiqi/baduk. (Or play on kgs frequently enough that I could maintain a free account). As it is, and from these options, I'd pick chess. Although I've played more FTL: Faster Than Light recently, and with more success than on FICS.

Worth noting that if you get the aye-aye phone, there's no need to get a stylus.

I fairly recently got a message on some Safari page (probably from an ad) that an app I didn't have needed to update. Maybe that's what happened?

Similar experience here. I'm really surprised with the almost universal backslash against touchscreens. My guess it that most people who are opposing touch screens haven't had one to play with for a long time.

I've had a laptop with a touchscreen for about two years. I didn't even know it had a touch screen for some time (linux - it wasn't auto-detected at the time, and one day I was wiping a dust off the screen and noticed the pointer had moved there:) )

It now has many input devices; a keyboard, a touchpad, an independent graphic tablet and a touchscreen.

I most of the time have my hands on the keyboard, to type and use keyboard shortcuts, and use the touchpad to point and click on small things (like when I want to select a specific sentence in a webpage). I use the graphic tablet when working with graphic programs, and I use the touchscreen when I want to click or move a large area. For instance to bring a window to front I often find it easier to quickly touch it rather than reaching for the touchpad, looking for the mouse pointer, moving it around and clicking, especially as my fingers are on the keyboard, the screen is no further away than the touchpad! To move a window I sometimes press alt with the left hand and move the window with the back of a finger (alt-click-drag moves a window on most linux window managers). When browsing an image folder touching the image I want to display is much easier than with the mouse, etc.

In practice I touch the screen maybe a couple of times per hour, and I share this experience that at work or at my parents' place (no touch screens there) I regularly find myself wanting a touch screen.

About smudges I use the back of my finger to touch the screen, it works just as well and leaves practically no marks.

*Clicks Preview with a finger*

My datapoint contradicts that claim a bit:

I've had a laptop with a touch screen (hp pavillon dv3) for two years and a bit, and I use touchpad AND keyboard AND touch screen to interact. When I want to select a big button or activate a window I find it far more convenient to touch the screen (with the back of my finger so it doesn't leave greasy prints), than wiggling the mouse around so I can see where the pointer is, moving it to the right place and clicking. (I sometimes even first touch approximately the point I want to hit and then move the mouse for fine tuning).

I'd even add that I miss that at work and when I use another (touchless) laptop. All the time I just want to bring that window to front or move a window away (I'm on linux so when the alt key is pressed (with my left hand) I can move a window around with my right hand as easily and naturally as moving a piece of paper around on my desk.

I get pain in my wrists and fingers due to mouse and keyboard usage, not the occasional touch.

I'd HATE having to do everything by touch however. I want my mouse AND my touch screen.

There's an extra charity to give money to, maybe that's why. Plus probably quite a lot of people want to beat the average to get Signal To Noise. I read it a few years ago, it's pretty good but a bit weird (which could probably describe anything NG's done except for the cannabilism porn).

I think that would be quickest. I mean, killing is their job. (Bonus points if it's Cameron)

Hence the cloning

I'm still waiting for that 6th Hitchhikers book.
