They should have started with a small company like Neuros that couldn't efford to defend them selves. With a precedent setting case under their belt they would stand a better chance against Apple.
Many of us vegetarians do eat chicken eggs. Personally I make sure they are local free range eggs. The issue for me isn't the eggs themselves but the living condition of the egg layer. Same goes for milk and cheese.
" I can't hate a country any more that I can hate the color blue."
Don't get me started on the color blue! Just thinking of the color blue makes me see red! I'm not a violent man, but if the color blue were ever hit by a bus and tasted its own blood, I would want to be there to see it.
In short, down with the color blue! (except for the periwinkle shade, which is kind of nice.)
I feel compelled to correct this misconception as a public service every time I see it. Gore never claimed to have invented the internet. He said he backed funding (repeatedly and against republican opposition) for the Arpanet which became the internet.
He was misquoted deliberately (and repeatedly) by a group of right wing press until the lie became main stream. So now you can find many reasonable moderate people who believe he originally made the claim.
"Everyone read this site knows it will amount to over 1,000 posters screaming at each other."
Which always amazes me. In order to get here people have to have at least a smidgeon of technological literacy. So you would assume a higher level of reasoning on average. I'm always amazed at the number of otherwise smart sounding people that come out on the side of creationism. I even found one Slashdot reader with a low UID that took the story of Noah's arc as literal truth once.
First let me say that I won't stoop to your level and call you names. I may however suggest some anger management sessions or some yoga or something to help you chill out a bit.
Second: Don't game much do you? I use the left button and the right button simultaneously on my Logitech mouse all the time in games. This mouse would be useless for Counter Strike or WOW.
What really detracts points for the "one button is best" argument for me is when Apple itself puts out software that requires multi-button mice (Shake).
There are two bad things I would point out about this mouse. 1) The side squeeze is new behavior. If a novice user wants to switch from PC land or wants to move up from the one button mode it would have been less confusing to add real buttons and conform to the way other mice work.
2) Why is the cord only 27"? This would make it awkward on either my system at work or at home.
I'll have to side with roman on here. It's clear that the main reason for the one button design is to make it look cool. Form above function again from Apple. It's better then the round mouse they shipped with the iMac though.
I also want to give a shout out to them for DbgView. My life would be so much harder without it. When SP2 beta came out DbgView stopped working. In desperation I sent him an email asking if he planned an update. Within minutes he sent me a version that worked. Very cool.
It's also a good example of just how robust Windows is. There is a LOT of things that are failing gracefully behind the scenes and yet it's still useable to the extent possible.
"I think you're assuming that the signal between the computer and the monitor will be analog. For this to work, it would likely be an encrypted digital stream that would take more then even a fourth year EE to decode."
And if they do the DMCA will be there to put the smack down on them.
This is typical religious nut behavior. Reading through the posts I didn't see him insult you at all. He merely tried to explain what you were not understanding. There is no shame in honest ignorance, only willful ignorance. When you found your position was based on a faulty foundation you retaliate with name calling. Regardless of his age he is clearly more capable of reasonable thought and honest discourse than you are. And it does not matter how many names he has. You hide behind the least respectful of them all AC.
"only "comprimise" that the democrats will be satisfied with is appointing a liberal judge"
Nope. I'd settle for another moderate republican like O'Connor. That's really the best I can hope for. What I think we'll get is another right wing not job like Scalia or Thomas.
Slashdot Mirror
You just made the article's point. Those things all happened under Bush's regime.
They should have started with a small company like Neuros that couldn't efford to defend them selves. With a precedent setting case under their belt they would stand a better chance against Apple.
Or did you just read about it somewhere?
I just tried it and let me tell you that you are wrong.
Running Vista on my system here it works just like the Tiger instance of your example.
Good post.
I hope it gets some mod points.

From your sig "Doesn't the sink make the urinal redundant?"
I thought this was brilliant so I ran the idea past my wife. She said she didn't want urinal mints in her sink.

"He may run the company, but he is hardly an engineer."
Are you crazy?!? Did you see the new fangled mouse he just invented? It has THREE buttons!

This is a gaming mouse and keyboard. You are not the target audience.
What does crow taste like?
Does it taste like chicken? I've heard it tastes like chicken.
"Microsoft sees spam as a profit centre"
Riiight. I'm sure it cost Microsoft more than 7M in lawyer fees to sue him.
I disagree. If the media consistently airs what an idiot he is maybe the 50% of the country that hired him will vote a bit smarter next time.

Ok. But what about areas where science and religion overlap? Questions like "If the Pope were cloned would the clone also be infalible?"
"I think the people giving Christianity a bad name are in the minority among Christians"
I agree. It's just too bad one of them got elected.

So if they just pay back the 10 and the end of each year and keep the rest we'll be square?

"I'm not a big fan of tolerance either"
I'm with you. I despise tolerance and all who tolerate it.
Down with tolerance!
