>the shuttle landed safely with Commander Eileen Collins at the control yoke
according to Feynman the shuttle pilot does only 2 things: 1. pushes the button for which base to land at 2. lowers the landing gear and they only do number 2 because they don't like to feel completely like passengers.
the BBC says the pilot made a perfect landing. these guys do a lot of stuff, but they don't land the shuttle.
if you know the best way to learn is to do it yourself why do you bombard him with irrelevant details?
let him click however he wants to click. if he double-clicks when only a singe is needed it still works. and if he single-clicks when a double is needed nothing will happen, he'll work out what's wrong, and LEARN FOR HIMSELF.
if you keep jumping in and saying what he's doing wrong (or just not the most efficient way) how the fuck is he supposed to know what's going on?
Apple's single button mouse is the easiest mouse on the market. this is in addition to that one, NOT a complete replacement, so why is it a problem for them that you don't like this particular one?
is it really so hard to NOT buy it and/or NOT associate with people-who-don't-understand-computers-but-need-to- use computers-right-now-and-don't-have-their-own-compu ter-and-don't-know-how-to-ask-how-to-use-the-mouse -and-don't-know-how-to-use-the-keyboard-instead?
if you're already panicing over possible mouse-confusion situations I think you should avoid the mouse and buy some meds instead.
consider US population to UK. consider number of US stores to UK. consider shipping.
I got mine a little cheaper with educational discount. shame they didn't release this yesterday as I could have got free shipping with it packaged with my EyeTV Digital TV tuner.
where do you think they might be? have you ever seen a 2-button mouse?
if not, and you then buy this mouse without looking at the website or documentation then I guess you'd have to either work out that the buttons are at the front and on the left and right using either logic or some trial-and-error method.
then once you've located the buttons I supposed some sort of note is needed to remember, either a post-it stuck to your monitor or just a mental note if you're feeling particularly non-retarded.
I don't think Apple ever believed people "can only handle one button at a time", just that most of the time a second button was a product of poor interface design and not a product of necessity. and they're right.
"7K500" ? are you trying to be annoying? plus what is the point of RPM except in helping with other stats like seek time and transfer speed? or do you just like your hard drives to make high-pitched tinitus-inducing whirs for the sake of it?
Mac already supports right-click, and more. in fact, my iBook scroll pad has the functionality of a mouse with 5 buttons and 2 scroll wheels. but I usually use my Apple single-click buletooth mouse. it's enough.
REQUIRE just one button, SUPPORT multiple is the Mac way. and it's also the best way. anyone who doesn't understand this is ignorant.

how does stating my opinion and source constitute "spreding bullshit all over the place"?
get a clue.

MS is selling at a loss.
you think if MS gets lots of market share then ramps its prices to start making money that it will keep its market share?
it wasn't specifically aimed at your post, should have been a stand-alone comment.
;-)
but anyway, I'll bet Nintendo can afford to be profitable far longer than Sony/MS can afford to be unprofitable
Nintendo isn't about to disappear just because it doesn't have to biggest bank balance.
please bear in mind that Nintendo is the only profitable game company of these 3. no "Nintendo is dying" claims please.
...sell Memory Sticks.
it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't keep updating the specs so you can't use new high-capacity sticks in previous-generation electronics.
when was the last time you heard of a review that wasn't "in-depth"?
as far as retarded writers are concerned "in-depth review" is a single word used to generate interest in a product summary.
you reward your kids for acting nice?
thanks for fucking up the world.
"I didn't act like a twat - where's my reward!?"
what a crap teacher you are.

>I'd actually debate that point, since the 'button' doesn't look like a button
so what, it takes 5 seconds to realise that and then you know it for the next 50 years.
anyone who is too stupid to work out an Apple mouse is too stupid for computers.

how do you know the squeeze buttons aren't deactivated while another button is pressed?
where do you think they might be? have you ever seen a 2-button mouse?
if not, and you then buy this mouse without looking at the website or documentation then I guess you'd have to either work out that the buttons are at the front and on the left and right using either logic or some trial-and-error method.

>you have to hold fingers in the air instead of resting them on the buttons
no you don't. get a clue.
I don't think Apple ever believed people "can only handle one button at a time", just that most of the time a second button was a product of poor interface design and not a product of necessity. and they're right.
maybe that's why it has audible feedback via a small speaker
it's a single-button mouse with multi-button functionality, so hell hasn't quite frozen over but the weather reports certainly are confusing.
>For Windows, you have 3rd party support. VIA, ATI, Nvidia, etc all create drivers for Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
ATI only supports XP now.

>"Licence fee" is just another name for television tax.
call it whatever the fuck you want, it's OPTIONAL you 'tard. if it were a mandatory tax you'd have half a leg to stand on.
