It seems to me like everyone takes the technical side way too serious. Taken at face value, I thought it was a pretty good episode. That chick looked too cool with that sword in her hands.
At least Mulder and Scully actually did something instead of the usual walking around, looking at clues, and saying things like "oh, look at this clue, what do you think it means?" "but Mulder, that doesn't make any sense..." blah blah blah.
This season does suck. X-Files was a lot better with the conspiracy storylines.
Microsoft licensed Citrix's technology that allows one Windows box to have multiple desktops. They didn't license Citrix's protocol (called ICA).
Thus the Linux Citrix client will not natively function with a Windows TS. Citrix sells their protocol stack separately (a TS add-on called MetaFrame).
that left mouse button sensor might have some application. instead of the tooltips coming up every time you move a mouse over an icon, it would only come up if you've got your finger on the button, ready to click on it but unsure what it is the mouse is pointing at.
i don't get the mouse wheel sensors though. that could drive someone nuts. every time you go to use the wheel to scroll down, the damn thing goes faster or slower because your finger brushes the sensor as you let off the wheel. (then again, why would you use the wheel for precise scrolling..) that might be better used as a detector for when you want your taskbar or control-panel or whatever to un-hide itself.
i agree that m$ does make good hardware. it's probably the only thing they make that's worth the price they charge.
did anyone check out the rest of the site? SmartSkin and UBook actually look fairly useful, more than a touch mouse anyway.
