DTUsat-I, a CubeSat attempted this a few years ago. Unfortunately contact was never established with the satellite so it has not actually been tested, but the physical construction is fairly simple. More info.
Every tabbed browser I know of, does the middle click thing (IE, Opera, Firefox, Safari, Chrome at the very least). For the side buttons, I have mine mapped to up/down arrow. Granted, they don't see that much use, but it isn't annoying, and it's more useful than having them set to nothing. The application-switch-button on the top has been remappped to Enter.
I think this is why people get so massively irritated by these restrictions. When a customer gets turned away from a web based shop, it is usually not perceived by the customer as a sale rejected due to some import/export restriction - instead, the people impacted by these restrictions feel as though they've entered the store, chosen a product, produced their credit card in order to pay - just to find themselves being kicked out of the store due to their nationality.
That's the most apt description I've ever heard. They can cite however many distribution rights they want, but it still seems like completely arbitrary discrimination.
Pardon the Danish. But clicking on the arrow extending "Paste" is, actually, so easy. And yes, as the AC pointed out, it appears in the right-click context menu as well.
It supports pressure sensitivity fine with my Asus R1F tablet. There's not a lot of customization (I don't think I can make it vary opacity based on pressure), but brush size works fine.
Next time you think your boss is an idiot and wonder why he's your boss, you'll probably notice that the only difference between him and you, is that he dresses nicer.
Whoops, pressed submit instead of preview. That symbol that didn't show up is supposed to be U+221A.
The entire equation can be written as
x=(-b\pm \sqrt (b^2-4ac) )/2a
With that spacing (and a space at the end).
Now, MS Word has its own multitude of problems, but I must say that I *greatly* prefer the "Unicode Nearly Plain-Text Encoding of Mathematics" input method, as opposed to the {}-hell from TeX.
2) Equations and symbols: In addition to switching styles semi-frequently, I make rampant use of greek symbols and equations. In 2k3, I've place buttons for these in the toolbar and can access either one with a single mouse movement and click. Then, since the style panel is already open, I can easily select the new style for the equation caption. And one more click to return to normal style face. In 2k7, I move the mouse up to the ribbon, switch to a different tab, add in my equation, go back to the ribbon, switch to the font menu, then click on the style drop-down arrow, scroll down, and click on my equation caption style, insert the caption, back up to the style drop-down icon, scroll down, and choose the standard font style. Result: 2k7 is starting to drive me insane!
You know, for equations you could just press alt + =, which (I think) is the standard shortcut for inserting an empty equation. Then, instead of browsing through menus looking for beta or alpha or whatever, you can write it out as \alpha or \phi. Then you just press space, and arrow-right, and its inserted inline. You can even change those shortcuts if you want. In fact, you could add those unicode symbols to the standard autoformatter (I don't know what it's called in the english version, sorry), so you wouldn't have to bother with equations if you just want greek letters.
While it might not be LaTeX, the the equation writer is centuries ahead of the old Equation Writer.
I have a K750i too, and the joystick there isn't too bad. But I had a K700i previously, and while I really liked that phone, its joystick was VERY susceptible to dust (according to wikipedia, it was weak construction and sensitivity to force - I'm not sure which it is). Mine was practically useless after 6 months or so. There's been countless other stories about the same thing happening. My K750i hasn't suffered from that yet (I've had it for 14 months now), but it was a pretty big fear for me when I got it.
How is "What does the third image show?" any differen from "Please fill in the letters and/or numbers in the image below", except from the spam bots having better odds in brute forcing?
When you happen to find such a PDF, try the latest Acrobat Reader - yes, version 6 sucked and version 7 was crap, but version 8 is actually pretty damn good - is as zippy as version 5, and I've never seen any notification area icons. Furthermore has it been redesigned, with a larger part of it dedicated to the document. The only drawback I can see is that it uses more than the 12 MB disk space, but then again, it supports every PDF you can throw at it, something I can't say for the alternative readers I've tried, and disk space is cheap anyway.

It's not even that, I also have it.

That's how they did it in Denmark.
It's molasses. It's apt because molasses has an even higher viscosity in the cold. It has nothing to do with moles.

In Vista and Windows 7, Backspace now goes back in history - like Alt+Left in XP. You have to do Alt+Up to actually go up a level.
Lower than 3:1? It's 4.86:1.
PC Pro / Apple Ad = (2*60+21)/29 = 4.86.
That's closer to 5.

That would be a statistical anomaly, and those are outlawed as well.

The slow fat pit is still in beta, however.

It's pretty common in healthcare.

The same formula in word 2007:
\quadratic
Or, if you don't want to use that macro:
x=(-b±(b^2-4ac))/2a
(the ± and signs probably won't show up correctly on Slashdot. Yay for unicode!)

Your 400 ms part might be the *better* part, but my 600ms part is 1.5 times as big! It can beat up your part with ease!

Or, the Mayan calender, depending on how you look upon it.
Regarding the joystick:
Good riddance.
