Also have two 518s at home (laptop & main desktop). They offer a few more features than a standard mouse but aren't souped up to the max with fifty buttons, wheels and other components. And over the course of the last two years those things have taken quite a beating. Dropped into a pitcher full of tea, dropped off the side of the desk numerous times, rough handling when those various bugs in the last two Fallout games pissed me off again,...
Must be a different build quality. Guess it was a good idea i went for something more simple. Once I accidentally dropped my powered MX518 into a pitcher full of sweetened tea and now more than a year later that thing still hasn't croaked.
Glad I'm not the only one of that opinion. A mouse has to feel comfortable and offer the features a user needs during the daily work. In my case that's the tried and proven MX518 combined with a Gen1 G15.
With one exception (Alcatel One Touch Com, which had some features even most modern smartphones lack) I've been using Nokia phones since the good old 2110 in the mid-90's. After they abandoned the Series 90 platform, the mobile TV modules and of course after the "Maemo vs. Moblin" clusterfuck I was already thoroughly disappointed by Nokia. But now that they've turned into a puppet company for Microsoft, adopting the worst big-name phone OS currently on the market in the process, I'll be looking elsewhere as well.
Considering how many people Nokia has already managed to alienate with this move (employees, business partners & customers) it's probably their only chance to survive. And for Microsoft it's cheaper than to buy smaller companies and use those to build a distribution arm for their phone products.

Sure you didn't misread "county" as "countRy"?

Been there, done that, didn't like the t-shirt.

Symbian?
Seems like there's finally a good use for that "and nothing of value was lost" line!
MySQL.com is just related to the database.
Ironic would be if a beginner-level screw-up like this happened to a language distributor like Zend.
Could've been worse. Imagine something like this had happened to Zend!
What about protecting people from working in marketing/sales?
Doing "Thing A" in the background while showing "Thing B" to the observer?
I think politicians have Prior Art on that one!
So, because last month a car manufacturer sold more cars with an automatic transmission we no longer need to teach people to drive with a stick shift?
We're back to the discussion about the "scientific education" vs. "trade schools" rift again?
That's what I said. By now they no longer really have an alternative to bending over whenever Microsoft feels like it.
SCO?
Marketing talking out of their ass? This threatens my entire understanding of the universe!!!!111eleventyone

Since Nokia has been turned into a puppet company for Microsoft does anybody really give a shit?
Just another extraterrestrial anal probe.
Maybe you're just slow on the uptake and didn't register until your late 60's?
Why? Storage space is cheap these days. ;)
This one?

Isn't that where they ship all the old folks? Sort of like an elephant graveyard for old farts in bermuda shorts.
True, they didn't have Reality TV back then.
Just claim that the target coordinates have been coordinated by that PS3 cluster.
