My mouse has 8 buttons. One of them is set to double-click. Technically, i'm not double clicking...i'm using a different button. This was fairly common at a company i work at - all of the drafting monkies have the scroll-wheel clicky set to double-click. Is that covered?
I'm putting together an overpriced dual athlon system. It's quite ridiculous, will probably be useless, and costs way too much money. I'm naming it after my old boss, because of his obsession with windows 98, nt 4.0, and quad xeon 550mhz servers that he pays 4000 dollars for "because that's a solid deal, you know". The secondary purpose is to spite him - he hates athlons with a passion ever since he couldn't get NT4.0 workstation to install on one and blamed it on the chip. BOFH.
This kind of makes the "But does it run Linux?" joke a bit deprecated, wouldn't you say? Oh well, there's still Soviet Russia, Hot Grits, and Overlords.
haha then you'll enjoy this - check it out
my sonata
120mm air intake with 6 1/2 chrome filter, chrome handles, and an 8 port network switch in the top of the thing (two of the ports come out of the back). i 3 my case:D (please ignore the quasedila in the background)
I'll admit to having 3 or 4 blue LED's in my room (antec sonata...and a few peripherals), but there are things that are FAR FAR worse. Last week I built a computer for my friend's girlfriend (which to me seemed kind of like that story about the French guy with the big nose who writes someone else's chick love letters on her boyfriend's behalf, but never mind that).
Check out the case - here . My GOD that thing is an eyesore, but she was insistend, because "IT'S PRETTY!!!". I convinced her to let me at least replace the two "rainbow" fans with some coolermaster blue LED ones, but still! she's using this computer for word processing, not running light shows! All she needed was some fricken' laser beams attached to it. Start das blinkenlights jokes now.
Although using an IRS boondoggle to benefit welfare recepients is an excellent idea on paper, i think you migh have trouble finding employees. I volunteer at a community center teaching basic computer literacy to at-risk youth and older people who spent their young lives working odd jobs who now have nothing to sgow for it. The program coordinator mentioned to me that this sort of class is invaluable because lack of computer training / experience is often an insurmountable barrier for under-educated people looking for non-labour jobs. So, unless you gave provisions for complete training for your workforce, it would take much longer than 2-3 years:)
Actually, for ST:TOS, Roddenberry originally suggested that Spock would be from Mars, not Vulcan. We should check to see if the face on Mars has pointy ears.
One of my female friends bought me a 100% Authentic Pakistanian Polyester Smoking Jacket. Also a replacement key for my Scroll Lock key (that i never use) that's bright orange and says "X%&#!" on it. she's cute:)

Many boffins died to get you that interview!
Actually, protons are subatomic particles usually found in the nuclei of atoms. Maybe you mean photons?
It's kinda freaky!!!
Don't you mean 'phreaky'?
