Так приятно смотреть ленту новостей в англоязычной части урикора. Sean Wrona за 20 минут успевает пройти все чемпионаты, в том числе и безошибочный, и всё далеко за 800) А там, где не требуется следить за курсором и можно разогнаться хорошенько - в профессиональном - вообще за 900 набирает спокойно

Да, всё живьём и всё вручную. Без использования элементов стенографии.

В первый раз увидел его здесь, на урикоре. Я заинтересовался и посетил typingzone.com. Был не слишком удивлён, когда увидел, что Sean в первый же день своего посещения установил абсолютные рекорды там в permanent contest как на английском, так и на французском языках.

Ему 24 года. По специальности веб-мастер:

Здесь на форуме чемпионата Дидье как раз шло обсуждение его результатов, в том числе и пробных забегов в десятиминутке на Интерстено (Motsak - Karen Koulakian - попросил его попробовать).

На этом сайте можно увидеть его печать на 30-секундном, 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-минутных текстах. Данная ссылка на видео - печать пятиминутного текста со скоростью 158 слов в минуту.[/url]

Он на французском с диакритикой набирает?

Дык слова-то разной длины могут быть

Да уж, удивительное сообщение ИТАР-ТАСС ...

Как думаете, стоит ли как-то на него реагировать?

И объясните, пожалуйста, что означает словосочетание "механическая клавиатура".

Что-то мне кажется, что это из серии "на правах рекламы"... Хотя такого упоминания там нет.

Переврали половину

На ютубе видео есть, кстати.

А вот слова самого Sean'a:

I won the competition which ended a few hours ago. It was a best-of-three competition.

I beat Nate Bowen 163 wpm-110 wpm on the following text:

That all our knowledge begins with experience there can be no doubt. For how is it possible that the faculty of cognition should be awakened into exercise otherwise than by means of objects which affect our senses, and partly of themselves produce representations, partly rouse our powers of understanding into activity, to compare, to connect, or to separate these, and so to convert the raw material of our sensuous impressions into a knowledge of objects, which is called experience? In respect of time, therefore, no knowledge of ours is antecedent to experience, but begins with it. But, though all our knowledge begins with experience, it by no means follows that all arises out of experience. For, on the contrary, it is quite possible that our empirical knowledge is a compound of that which we receive through impressions, and that which the faculty of cognition supplies from itself (sensuous impressions giving merely the occasion), an addition which we cannot distinguish from the original element given by sense, till long practice has made us attentive to, and skillful in separating it. It is, therefore, a question which requires close investigation, and is not to be answered at first sight whether there exists a knowledge altogether independent of experience, and even of all sensuous impressions? Knowledge of this kind is called a priori, in contradistinction to empirical knowledge, which has its sources a posteriori, that is, in experience. But the expression, "a priori," is not as yet definite enough, adequately to indicate the whole meaning of the question above started. For, in speaking of knowledge which has its sources in experience, we are wont to say that this or that may be known a priori, because we do not derive this knowledge immediately from experience, but from a general rule, which, however, we have itself borrowed from experience. Thus, if a man undermined his house, we say, "he might know a priori that it would have fallen;" that is, he needed not to have waited for the experience that it did actually fall. But still, a priori, he could not know even this much. For, that bodies are heavy, and, consequently, that they fall when their supports are taken away, must have been known to him previously, by means of experience. By the term "knowledge a priori," therefore, we shall in the sequel understand, not such as is independent of this or that kind of experience, but such as is absolutely so of all experience. Opposed to this is empirical knowledge, or that which is possible only a posteriori, that is, through experience. Knowledge a priori is either pure or impure. Pure knowledge a priori is that with which no empirical element is mixed up. For example, the proposition, "Every change has a cause," is a proposition a priori, but impure, because change is a conception which can only be derived from experience.

The second text was a million times more challenging because they added tons of special characters. They said they included in this text every key that appears on the keyboard, but I don't really remember there being any tildes there.

I beat Nate 124 wpm-79 wpm on this text to win $2000 and the Ultimate Typing Championship.

1.a) [MAN] A man ordered 2,000 drums of pink ping pong balls in Paris, France. Each drum contained 100 pink ping pong balls. He paid $120 (80 Euros!) per drum, which means he spent $240,000 on 200,000 pink ping pong balls. 1.b) {BALL} These pink ping pong balls measured 40mm (how many inches?) and were given a 1 star rating [1 star?]. [FRIEND] His friends all asked him, "why did you order so many pink ping pong balls, how can you afford to spend that much, and what are you going to do with them?" His answer: "I'll tell you tomorrow." [MAN] Every day his friends asked the same question, and every day he gave the same answer: "I'll tell you tomorrow." {BALL} The pink ping pong balls started decreasing in quantity: only 189,000 left, and then only 172,000, and then 163,000, and then 147,000, etc. {BALL} One day 90% of the pink ping pong balls were gone (100% - 10% = 90% right?). His friends were really feeling frustrated with him now and demanded an explanation, "Tell us what the &^%$ [blip] you're doing with all of these @#^& pink ping pong balls!" [MAN] The man's response: "I spent $240,000 on 200,000 pink ping pong balls for a project. I have now used 90% of those, as you have observed. I promise to tell you tomorrow." [FRIEND] His friends decided to wait one more day and pronounce the alphabet to kill some time: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ then wrote a code word with strange signs: /a/&B#R{+1}>>[Bb] = X0 - 3 + @a rooftop ^ 32 + 12443678923458789 && 1 2 3 < 4. . The next day they were gathered in the man's house for the big revelation. The man stated, "Of the 200,000 pink ping pong balls I ordered I have 137 left. Would anyone like them?" His friends all groaned and said, "[---] no! Give us an answer!" The man began again, "Friends, I am about to unveil a great invention." He took a deep breath...and died. His 7 friends would never know why the man spent $240,000 on 200,000 pink ping pong balls, and neither will you.

I think Dan Chen definitely could have beaten my score on the second one, and Jelani possibly on the first, although I was slowed some because there were bright overhead lights and all sorts of people hovering around and the CEO of the company talking at the time, so it's unclear how I would do regularly on either of those texts...

На самом деле, в финале против Sean'a должен был выступать Daniel, но он не смог, и в результате дуэль получилась не такой зрелищной.

По поводу клавиатур. Они бывают мембранными и механическими.

Спасибо большое за объяснение про клавиатуры.

И все-таки, может быть, напишем комментарий от имени сборной?
С одной стороны, не хочется привлекать дополнительное внимание к этому бреду, а с другой стороны, надо же когда-то начинать приводить в порядок терминологию, единицы измерения и другие основы нашего дела. Да и удобный повод лишний раз рассказать о том, что мы существуем. Как думаете?

Согласна. Давайте текст (на русском и на английском).
А где его разместить? Здесь? На сайте интерстено.ру? Или отправить в ИТАР ТАСС?
