  1. Re:LOL on Middle-Click Paste? Not For Long · · Score: 1

    Must say, your interpretation of removed took two reads. Usually it's moved them from A to B, not removed them from A to B.

    And people wonder why I prefer PvE.

    The Razer Naga suffers from that. Not at all a cheap mouse.

    "I wouldn't mind it so much if all of these changes were just the defaults and a person could still configure it to a previous "standard"..."

    They are and you can. I'm typing on one right this second. Your argument fails.

    The best I can extract from your screed is you don't like the gifs they're using now.

    He wasn't. I don't use Linux and it struck me as a mouse-wheel click. Don't be pompous.

    By the way, i've never heard L+R called a third button click.

  6. Re:jerk on Georgia Cop Issues 800 Tickets To Drivers Texting At Red Lights · · Score: 2

    The problem is, it isn't endangering nobody. When you divert your attention from driving, you are endangering youself, your passengers, pedestrians and other drivers and passengers.

    It's not *nobody*. If you're going to drive a nearly one ton missile, you should retain uninterrupted control. if you don't, you're negligent.

    Very little actual research and reliable results.

    True. Used to be some brutal frizbee with a group of guys I worked with.

  9. Re:Not a shock on Work Halted On Neal Stephenson's Kickstarted Swordfighting Video Game · · Score: 2

    I tried the samuri game with my grandson on the Wii. Pfftttt! Like you, I have actual sword experience and I can't see anything against an opponent working. There's no tactile feedback. If you want to play with swords, join a local fencing club. Cost about the same as the game probably would have.

  10. Used to on Ask Slashdot: Does Your Work Schedule Make You Unproductive? · · Score: 5, Informative
    This will all be 'used to':

    What are the maximum number of hours you can work in a day/week and still be reasonably productive?

    Entirely dependent on the project. If I was intensely interested, I could work much longer.

    When you absolutely must work beyond that limit, what steps do you take to minimize degradation of quality?

    There is no 'absolutely must'. If you have a limit, it's a limit. It's unhealthy to push past that, people have died.

    If you're able to structure your time differently from the typical 9-5 schedule, what method works best for you?

    Four long days followed by three off.

    Finally, how do you communicate the quality problems to management?

    Walk up, say "Hey....

    Both methods of publishing will be around for quite a while. He is correct about physical publishing, you may be right about digital. The two opinions are not exclusive.

    Your argument then is that HTML is good for the promotional and sales portion of the venture, after all writing and editing is done.

    I agree it can be a useful tool in the larger set. It will never become the set.

    Answer is still no. I already have a word processor. I will use that. I can *export* to HTML if I desire. It would be one option only.

    Nice changeup from 9 dimensions to 9 parameters.

    Which in no way proves said dimensions exist in reality.

    It's always amusing when an AC gets all pompous and self-aggrandizing.

    You realize math doesn't define reality, it only describes, right?

    I had my own mental picture of what I would project at her and it wasn't at all pretty.

    In my experience, the people using psuedonyms are tinfoil hatters who aren't very tech savvy at all.

    Like the thousands of psuedonyms right here on SlashDot? I think your argument fails.
