This sounds like an interesting product, but it creates an intriguing dilemma for me.
I'm a highly disgruntled teenage employee of a Dunkin' Donuts in a location I probably shouldn't disclose. Even though it would appear that I have my whole life ahead of me, the present looks very bleak. I'm earning $5.50 an hour, working about 10 hours a week after school and on weekends selling donuts and coffee to a surly, unpleasant group of adults who should be laying off the high carbs. How these dangerously obese tight-asses gain such a thrill being nasty and mean while not allowing that to interfere with their passion for eating is beyond me. Long story short: I hate it here. Sure I could get another job, but with the hours I have to give being a high school student, it would just wind up being another fast food place because I'm not taking up elderly booty wiping duty.
Of course, if my parents just gave me a reasonable allowance, which they can afford to do, I wouldn't have to waste my time in this doughy hell with these horrible, doughy people. Unfortunately my folks don't want me to be spoiled and they're trying to show me the benefits of earning money. I can't say that I've learned that particular lesson. The only thing I have learned that there is no such thing as satisfaction for a job well done when your job itself is completely unsatisfying.
So I'm stuck here. That combined with the fact that I'm a 16-year-old virgin with a woody that just wont quit and demoralizing acne that might as well spell out: "kill me" tends to build up a little bile. For the last few months, I've been choosing to exorcise this bile with a hefty side-dish of semen, straight into the donut batter when no one's been looking.
Now, the donuts definitely taste funny according to a few customer complaints, so I'm undoubtedly going to be caught soon. If I could "sweeten the deal" with your product, that would totally rock, but I don't know if I'd get the same satisfaction out of doing it, even though I could probably get away with doing it for way longer. But what if they start liking the donuts more than they used to?
Sure they're still gobbling down my boys, but if there's no remote clue like the current twinge of funk, it just isn't the same for me. I need to be able to think, "yeah, take THAT, jerkoff!", and not be swarmed by a hungry mob, Night of the Living Dead-style, feasting for more of my sweatmeat, chanting "mmmm... jizznuts... jiiiiizzznuuuutsss". This totally might backfire, causing my particular Dunkin' Donuts to become wildly popular, and forcing me into being overworked on my shitty salary!
So before I buy this stuff from you, I would need to know exactly what effect the outcome (and oh, do I mean out-come) might be in the donut batter. Would the donuts taste better than donuts with standard-issue semen, and worse than an untainted donut, or would such a heavenly delicacy be created that I could probably consider "going legit" and opening a franchise of my own featuring my special secret ingredient?
Personally, I just can't wait to walk up to the sophomore I have an eye on and use the "Hey little girl, want to have some candy?" line when propositioning her.
It signals movement, not position. So you have to guess the sensitivity and acceleration (although there aren't many combinations).
To counteract this, the mouse driver can put the pointer at a random spot when it starts, or apply a little randomness to the movement, especially when the mouse is moving quickly and the user won't notice a few pixels deviation
Users simply remember exactly where on the images they clicked and in what order.
If this really down to the pixel level as the story says, then this is not simple it is impossible.
Even having it sensitive to with 10 pixels say is going to be difficult with the pictures they used. Most country flags consist of large blocks of colour. To have a chance of reproducing a password, people are going to have to pick points near edges and corners - similar to not using uppercase and punctuation in passwords.

If I'm walking in the ISS then I'm moving v.fast relative to the earth. Hell, If I'm standing still on the ISS then I'm still moving v.fast relative to the earth. Even if I'm dead and buried on Earth I'm moving v.v.fast relative to the center of the galaxy.
It isn't anything to get very excited about... hey Mum, look at me I'm moving at 0.99c relative to something
So why can't orbz determine the server type... and then try just those envelopes that that server is known vulnerable to; vulnerable in a relaying sense, not in a "lockup server" sense

Yes, I can say van der Graph, and I've never noticed a charge building up at the nozzle of my vacuum cleaner.
Forte released Agent 1.91 2 days ago with yEnc support. it looks like Mr. Nixon is fighting a losing battle.
keep the release button held down has you heat them ...just pop them in the oven at 350 centigrade... hold down the button with your finger
... I have now lost the use of my right hand and arm and am now scarred for life.
You bastard
Can't you use a regular vacuum cleaner? All the computers I use are in locations where vacuum cleaners are also found.

at 8.0 or higher versions...doesn't that mean it's better?
Absolutely!
That's a previous version (Aug 2001).
This is the March 2002 version

Give it a few years ... lots of this trickle down to the consumer market eventually.
Blind people continue to use the keyboard. You can have alternatives in life, you know.
That's exactly what the article is about. Try moving your mouse over the story and clicking in a certain manner ... ie. on the link.

What a disappointing article
one-time personal use at home are also permitted
one-time? Is that what the law said before this act?
So I can't record something and watch it a couple of times with the risk of being thrown in gaol for the rest of my life? Yippee.
What a silly comparision.
