Have you installed Gamepad Companion from Carvware.com yet? I saw similar problems before I installed that. I don't use acceleration but did notice flakiness there before I installed this software.
I have to attribute my knowing the fact to a 15-minute segment I saw on RTE, the publicly funded broadcaster in Ireland.
The segment listed the seemingly infinite and insidious ways left-handed people are discriminated against, the negative words, etc. It was astonishing...!
It's been a long time since I've seen or heard a word of Gaeilge (left Ireland 15 years ago), and I was always crap at Irish anyway (got an N.G. in pass level Irish in my 1986 Leaving Cert, how embarrassing). The spelling looks a bit... off to me. Is that Munster Irish? If not, would it be spelled differently in Munster Irish?
Do you live in a Gaeltacht area? In what part of Ireland do you reside? I've heard that there's a bit of a Gaelic renaissance going on in the Republic, of course the northerners have always appreciated and kept the culture alive.
So many questions. Thanks (in advance) for indulging my curiosity and putting up with my appalling Irish.
Regarding your sig.: Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been badgering people on both sides of the Atlantic about this for *years*, native English speakers on both sides of the pond (Ireland and the US).
Also worth noting, both of these abbreviations are *ALWAYS* punctuated with periods and followed by a comma. For example, "e.g.," and not "e.g." or "eg.,"
I thought I was the only person driven insane by this matters.
Yes, it is possible. My setup is just like this. I have SBC-DSL flowing into a 2Wire HW1000 "home gateway" (combo DSL modem, 802.11g WAP, etc.). Next room over I have an Airport Express set up as a client of the wireless network and jacked into the stereo. Works very nicely.
Just a warning Rokzy, there are no OS X drivers for that mouse... but you can program some of the buttons to activate Exposé. It's an awesome mouse. The previous poster has pointed you in the direction for the best mouse I have ever used.
You mean AlBook? The TiBook has been discontinued for some time... the aluminum casing of the newer PowerBooks is a big improvement -- no more scratches and flaking paint.
It might be that... I agree on the Apple BT mouse -- poor resolution and sluggish responses. I bought the Logitech MX900 mouse, and it is awesome. Comfortable, great resolution, immediate responses. A major step up. It is also very solidly constructed and hefty.
I browsed your website and noticed that you're still interested in working in Ireland, even with the dearth of showers in parts Western...:-)
If you need any advice, let me know. If I were you I'd just move there and find a job once there. The employment market in Ireland is very healthy and you should have no trouble finding a suitable job and arranging work permits.
Instead of Ben Affleck they just use the embalmed corpse of famous dead French actor, Alain Delon. And he still does a better job of acting than Affleck. Less wooden, less stiff.
No shower?!?!? I'm Irish, I'm 36, and I have *NEVER* encountered a household without a shower... you must have really been in buttfuck nowhere. Limerick is a dump, sorry that was your Irish experience.
Glesga Kiss? Haven't heard that expression in ages... gissa job! I'm not a gypo, I swear! I'm not even Irish!!! (yeah I know this reference has nowt to do with Sko-tlaaaan but it sprang to mind).
Give me an example... I can't think of a single instance where terrorists are treated with kid gloves by the European media. To wit, visit http://news.bbc.co.uk (BBC, UK) or http://www.rte.ie/news (RTE, state broadcaster in the Republic of Ireland) and view the reaction of European media to the latest IRA shenanigans.

Go raibh maith agat!

I had totally forgotten about that little "1900's anarchist/cartoon bomb" icon... it was cool!
God that desk must be uncomfortable. Do your knees keep banging into the sides?
Of course my post contains numerous typos and grammatical errors. I know! It's only e.g. and i.e. that bother me.

Alison, "draiocht" looks a lot like a Gaelic word... is it Irish? Scots-Gaelic maybe?

Holy Crap! You're in your second year of college and you *already* have RSI...? It took me a good 13 - 14 years after college to develop RSI.

Done! Emailed the hotmail account listed on your resume.

Good, I'm glad you had an enjoyable time. Maynooth is okay, Dublin is just a great, fun, entertaining city.

Ooh ooh! Is it Luxembourg?
That possibility was mentioned in the article or the Slashdot "editorial".

There's no kid gloves or appeasement there.
