    Figures. Stuff always breaks when you move. They should be glad the moving guys avoided dropping the piano down the stairs or putting a hole in the wall.

    Fair enough. I'll hold you to that promise :)

    Personally I'm more annoyed by the people complaining about Gentoo zealots, of which there seems to be alot more than actual Gentoo zealots! Seriously, the amount of posts _complaining_ Gentoo zealots as opposed to "compiling everything made my system twice as fast d00d"-posts is like 10:1. And yes, this statistic was made up on the spot. I appologize for this entire post. I am very drunk, and had to type every word at least twice.

    SCO stock soared today after their announcement stating that there are significant portions of proprietary copyrighted SystemV code running the universe. "We will sue as soon as we can get ahold of the Creator of the Universe" boasted senior vice president Chris Sontag. "The amount of SCO code in the universe is very extensive. It is many different sections of code ranging from five to 10 to 15 lines of code in multiple places that are of issue, up to large blocks of code that have been inappropriately copied into the universe in violation of our source-code licensing contract. That's in the universe itself, so it is significant." added Sontag. "We are in the process of preparing six billion letters, warning people that they may need to consider another universe or face steep licensing costs"

  12. Re:Wireless keyboard/mouse on Wireless mouse+keyboard+gamepad · · Score: 1
    I have a Logitech cordless keyboard+mouse (iTouch Pro), and I had a similar problem. However, in my case the fix was easy: The receiver was located on the floor amongst a bunch of cables (power cords, speaker cables, etc.), and this was apparently not a good idea. After moving the receiver somewhere where there's no cables it has worked perfectly.


    After using a cordless mouse for a while I find it a pain to use a standard one. The mouse that comes with the iTouch pro package is also very comfortable, and the extra buttons on the keyboard are great for controlling xmms and launching apps.

  13. Re:Wireless is the way to go on Wireless mouse+keyboard+gamepad · · Score: 2

    I have an iTouch Pro combo as well, and getting the extra keys to work is possible. Try running 'xev' under X instead of showkey; you should see it reporting the keys being pressed. In the version of XFree86 that came with RH7 there was a ready-made definition file for the standard itouch keyboard. The key codes are almost the same for the pro version; use xev to find the keycodes and then edit the itouch section in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/inet accordingly. Then set your XkbModel to 'itouch' in XF86Config and xev should now report 'XF86*' as the key symbol. After that you can just use the keys like any other.

    Are you sure about this? The data I have seen indicates that Finland tops the chart, followed by Norway and Iceland, and that the US comes fourth. Finding any up-to-date data, however, proved to be difficult; most of the stuff I found was dated 1998. Links anyone?
    More than 54% of all internet users are Americans though.
