Just two words to save the mouse: Mouse Gestures.
The author tells us how limited mouse is in terms "muscle memory", yet he doesn't know that mouse isn't only for clicking. Mouse gestures can, and are performed automatically from muscle memory. I've learned a copule for Opera, and then I had to LEARN to NOT APPLY mouse gesture (down-right) to close Explorer windows.
Well, I just automatically considered him to be a mathematician )) After all, the distinction between ntheoretical computer science and mathematics is not that well-defined )
=you don't talk to mathematicians often.
There's nothing BUT LaTeX for math. Heck, buy a recent goof math book, it's likely to be typeset in LaTeX!
Even CS people use it.
Why LaTeX?! Anyone who ever used LaTeX extensively would find your question insane.
The brief answers is - because it is much more convinient, powerful, user-friendly; because it is
takes much less time to LaTeX a document than to type it in Word; because Word was never meant to be
a typestting/publishing tool, and LaTeX was...
It's like asking "You can move around on a wheelchair, why use feet ?"
Well, I'm not saying that you shouldn't fight for privacy, nor do I imply that it SHOULD be given up. It's just that it was already given away. It's gone - it's the echo of privacy you are clinging to. You can only hope for "security by obscurity" - that 'they' won't be able to cope with the mere amount of data they are able to collect. My idea was that privacy is something that is 'not quite here' at the moment, so there's nothing to 'protect' anymore; we are to fight a battle to gain something that we don't really have.
Privacy nowadyas is like a religion. Some people believe in it, some don't; some fight to protect it. But it is still as intangible and unattainable as deities from other religions.
I guess this thread is going to become full of posts in the spirit of "they got what they deserved", as if this was an anti-piracy measure. Of course, piracy of IP is only legitimate when commited within USA, otherwise it is "OMG commies are stealig our moneyz". This was an effing software bug, which casued trouble to everyone, legitimate users too, and I don't see how piracy talk could be relevant.
As a side note, having recovery CD's does not have to do anything with piracy. If you pirate Windows, you have all the CD's you need.
I have been using Opera as my primary browser since v.4, and never had this problem. In particular, I don't have this problem now, and visit newgrounds.com almost daily =)
Mod parent up, that's EXACTLY how I interpreted the headline. Initial thoughts involved dipping fingers in hot molten plastic to make them more 'stylus-like'.
I guess it is the time now for people to look into Opera, which seems to be able to keep the balance. I think software should not be discriminated on the basis of not being FOSS.

1. Cost 2. Upgrades
Interesting, I'll try it after reboot =) I only tried Sensiva, but, unlike StrokeIt, Sensiva isn't free.

"There's always a social circle somewhere that agree with your practises, if you look hard enough." Just as it used to be before the Internet.
Why stop at six, maybe there's life out there...
Obviously it's dead. Only old people in Korea use it.
URL! URL! Post it here, we want to know =)

more like yellow, brown and green - depending on the region and time of the year. I have an excuse of being underslept =)
Yeah, my comment doesn't make much sense after actually reading the details of the article =)
Let's take it to the extreme: there are only tree colors (R,G and B). And there is no spoon.

From that point of view, I'm with you. Where are good ole times when "Norton" meant "Commander" ? =)
In soviet USA, spyware company sues YOU! Oh wait...

Nay, that's because Pirates only go after Pirates, without even bothering thmeselves with ninjas :P (mod me -1 redundant =) )
...that pirates are better than ninjas. You never get to read about ninja treasure found underwater !
..the stock of alarm clock manufacturers just went up.
