I've lost track of the number of well-ranked players I have completely abused while playing first person shooters with my Trackman Wheel.
Good for you! I'd love to know how you know which were using mice and which were using trackballs. Do you ask?
Maybe your problem is too much time spent exercising the wrist, and not enough time spent exercising the thumb.
Har har you eluded to masturbation! Grow up.
That's much of why I use a trackball. The only mouse I've ever had that felt "Big" enough was some antique "ergonomic" Logitech unit that felt too cheap to use.
Fair. Only trackball I ever used had the buttons operated by the thumb, and the ball on top to be moved by the fingers. Odd that both large body mice were made by Logitech, though. The one I have is "ergonomic" (for a righty, anyway) too. Quite pleasant to use.
That's not a comparison, that's a gaming mouse. If the site said "This has less buttons than the Warmouse new product, but has one adjustable button to make clicking different" then it would be a comparison.
What you've done is somehow manage to create a second slashvertisment with even less content than the original. Truly, that takes skill, but I'm not sure it's a skill I'd put on my CV.
Each to their own. You're obviously not a PC gamer, or if you are a very casual one.
I might get this mouse, if it's big enough to fit comfortably in my shovel-like hands. I still use a Logitech MX700 because it's a good 30mm longer than any other mouse I've ever encountered. Either this mouse, or one with an adjustable palm space.
Post something. Your name, DoB, rough location, a photo, a few of your friends, then never touch it again. You have an online presence, it is your only one, and it's accurate. That way you have a layer of defense if something like this turns up. "No, that's not my account. This is my account, and I can prove it because my friends are on it, not on the one you found. You didn't find this profile because I don't use it except to stop people using my identity fraudulently.
(Note: I refuse to use the term "identity theft." It's called fraud, and it's not my fault the other party wasn't sure of who they were dealing with.)
This doesn't help. This teaches kids that they get benefits before earning them. The kid can have the "ogre apples" and get the ears, then throw the apples on the floor and scream for fries.
It's not 'Maccers' fault, it's the parents. Just saying that kids are smart little bastards, and very capable of working the system to get what they want. Best to just teach them what's good and bad, and explain why, then let them make the decision (And by that, I mean "eat the red berries" yourself and eat healthy food with your kids).
Time spent next to your dying child's bed as he's hooked up to dialysis for salt-induced renal failure while the doctor tells you that the lack of a lifestyle change the last time around makes him ineligible for a second transplant == priceless.
Mmmm... Those 15 minutes each day spent queueing instead of cooking sure were worth it.
Obviously that's the parents being sterilised. No doubt the type-2 diabetes and reduced kidney function from excessive salt intake will screw up their fertility before they get past their 20th birthday.
I swear, is no one responsible for their own actions anymore? Don't get me wrong, I don't think what McDonald's does is right, but if you play the "I'm not in control of what I eat" card, you deserve to be euthenased.
FTFY. Being in control of what you eat is easy. When you see the sale on a jumbo pack of 72 pancakes with some of that lovely high-fructose corn syrup you love to drizzle over, don't buy it. Walking past a $2.99 all-you-can-eat fried food buffet? You bet! Walk straight past! Grab a banana.
Unless you are tied down to a chair and being spoon fed can after can of refried beans Gluttony-scene-from-Seven style, you are in control of what you eat. Get some willpower. And if you're doing this to your kids, you deserve to have them taken off you and be sterilised. Yeah, this counts as child abuse.

I am extremely glad that samzenpus has published this thoroughly informative and important discovery to the front page.
Anybody know of a tech news website that isn't run by teenagers and college dropouts? I'm about done with bullshit like this.
I and many of the people I play with routinely run circles around people like you with our trackballs.
Is that kind of like the Haka, but with more USB connectors and "There's no place like 127.0.0.1" t-shirts?

If you lay off the stimulants, you might stop twitching enough to get back to your job, and still have a working 1 key by the end of the day.
Preaching to the choir, friend.
Cut out the swearing, put it on headed paper, and send it to your elected representative. Otherwise, you're just another armchair revolutionary.
World population is split closer to 50.25% male, 49.75% female. Therefore, it's 0.5025 probability of being male. 201/400
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_ratio_of_women_to_men_in_the_world Abstract thought ftw!
Surely the man wouldn't have expressed a probability as a percentage? :D

No. That in itself is suspect.

Indeed! You're not gaining weight: Local gravity is just higher!
So, the greatest danger to mankind isn't the LHC creating a black hole, it's the Arsenal changing rooms... For the same reason?
I would never have expected that. (Spanish Inquisition jokes on a postcard, please!)
Uhhh... I think he meant that the graph looks like a boob.
As an interesting item, here it is as scarification between the shoulderblades (SFW, not gruesome)
I'm pretty sure I got into trouble in college for doing something similar
If you have a hobby, there is a group for it.
Look for one.
No, I was too busy watching England getting hammered by Germany.
I've little doubt in saying that more people watched that match than voted in the general election.

It's impossible to mod this sentiment too highly.
No. Just no.
You wouldn't want free software to be able to compete, would you?
It can compete. It's called Android, and it's competing rather well
UMA, definitely. Then you're not stuck with a Wi-Fi only device if you ever move location, or god forbid, take the phone off campus.
Not an exhaustive list, but here's some phones with UMA in the description
Nah, he had inside information. That's George Osborne's /. account! :D
