    The device never moves more than about 4 inches.

    Then you really must not do much more than basic tasks because there are many people who move there mice far more than 4 inches during use.

    Added complexity.

    What is so complex about a wireless mouse?

    Added cost.

    For mice of equivalent features the difference is a few bucks at most.

    No upside. It's a completely pointless feature.

    I and many others would beg to differ. For a specific example, being able to control my HTPC from across the room using a wireless mouse is a great feature.

    Japan is merely a cheerleader of US policy, since what they perceive as good for them seems to be what the US is pushing.

    Sorry, but you're wrong. The Japanese have been in on ACTA since the very beginning before any other countries besides them and the US were involved.

    ACTA highlights the fundamental problem with politics (in the U.S.) today.

    Implying that only the US is the driving force behind ACTA. This would be false. The Japanese and their conglomerates are just as much pushing for ACTA as any corporation in the US.

    There is nothing in copyright that says "You had to create this in order to own it".

    In order to copyright something you either have to be the creator or the creator has to cede the copyright to you. If all those scientists and engineers didn't want any of their works to be copyrighted by their bosses then maybe they should start their own business or not agree to the clause were you forfeit the copyrights to your work.

    How is that any different than any other company? No company is going to give you free service outside of your warranty period or support contract term. The issue I was addressing was the absurd claim that Dell wouldn't come out to service your computer if you only bought 1 item from them. Such a thing is completely false.

    That's because Opera actually cares about the stability of their browser instead of letting any turd write some buggy extension that can take down the entire browser.

    Show me the equivalent tool of about:config in Opera, it just doesn't exist.

    You really shouldn't speak on subjects you clearly have no knowledge about. The equivalent in Opera is opera:config and it has extensive amounts of settings you can change.

    And because it isn't open source you don't have that customization either.

    Yes because the average user is modifying the Firefox source code on a regular basis. Oh wait...
