Or perhaps something more efficient than video which still captures the workflow (like the networked text editors which don't seem so popular these days).

But Q is right above left-⌘ (and W above right-⌘) -- convenient for accidental mashing.
There's a bitbucket account with the source of the book: https://bitbucket.org/alfonse/gltut/wiki/Home
I'd love if that dialogue would give more feedback about what it's doing. I've always just assumed that there's an issue with my connection or their update servers.
Re:RPN Ever 4 on Thursday February 03, 2011 @06:11PM (#2177421)
I have an HP 35s which I found to be a lovely calculator which got me started with RPN. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to use it at school for my final exams since they had a list of specifically approved calculators (which the 35s would never have made since it's programmable). I switched to the Casio fx-82AU Plus which graphically displays your calculation, meaning you don't have to keep track of the inside-to-out expansion of RPN or the mountains of parentheses you usually require in algebraic mode. They're both good systems, but I can see the graphical display being more useable for most people (despite being awfully slow).

On an unrelated note, I'd like to point out that the divider between the blue/white sections of the page does not move when you scroll horizontally, meaning half the article text is covered when I scroll horizontally to try to get all the text in view (the page is too wide for my screen).
I used to wear a watch all the time, until the strap broke. Ever since, I've found myself wanting a watch in situations when I don't have easy access to a phone. I would gladly wear a watch again.
