Sorry, no. The mouse would have to scan the data for you, and the hardware just isn't capable of doing that. There's no way to change the way the mouse works with a driver.
That sounds strangely like some interactions I once had with Fleet bank. The weird part was that they were wanting to talk with someone named Wendy - and I'm certainly not Wendy. They wouldn't believe me when I told them I didn't know who Wendy was (the phone line was new). I did have a Fleet bank credit card in my wallet though, and I called them up, gave them an earful, and cancelled the card.
I know how you feel. I am also willing to burn my Karm with an offtopic post, just to tell everyone out there that Fleet bank really really sucks.
How did you get into my foes list? I just checked your posting record and you're not a troll. My foes list is reserved for trolls and assholes. You don't seem to be an asshole either. Do you remember?
It is worthwhile to note that the internet link is a separate issue from the sharpness. All the internet link does is allow researchers to use the scopes and return a lot of data quickly, reducing the need to travel to the telescope to observe with it. All of astronomy is moving in this direction, because these very expensive instruments must be utilized efficiently.
The sharpness of this scope comes from the very large mirror (8 meters) and the adaptive optics installed on it. The photos would be just as sharp even without the internet connection.
Copied it straight out of the link. This might help with those who didn't read the article.
7. Why don't you support Linux/Unix/Solaris? (Unix)
Supporting Unix is more complex than simply offering a Windows Media Player for Unix. There was a ruling in favor of AFTRA, the actor's union, which states that commercials made for radio cannot be re-broadcast onto the Internet without payment of huge royalties. Therefore, if you want to stream your radio station on the Internet you need to remove the commercials. Our software enables us to automate the process of removing radio commercials and replacing them with Internet safe ads on Windows platforms. This technology has proven difficult to implement on the Unix platform. At this point we have no plans for supporting the Unix platform.
Something he didn't mention: Canada has had more recent waves of immigration than the United States. That means that their large cities are full of people from all over the world. One of the things that makes a city good to live in is a diverse group of people to live with and mingle with. That diversity makes things very interesting. One might say that the diversity of cities that have had large influxes of people from other countries is what separates a place like Montreal from, say, Enid Oklahoma.
I've run crypto filesystems and they are dog slow. I can believe that a good sized subset of data needs 6 seconds to work with, even to a ramdisk.
Also, a big bang security approach isn't a good one. This should be one of many layers in a security system.
I don't think that this is at all like locking the doors on a convertable, or that you're using a broad enough definition of HARD when you say that security is hard. Hard in this case means that if you leave your token thingy at home you're screwed, so you'd better remember it. That's the same problem as a deadbolt on a door, which provides much less security than good crypto. Yet, people seem to remember to lock their house every day.
To correct and enlighten: our planet existed almost 4 and a half billion years without homo sapiens, and life has existed here for about 3.5 billion years. But because the sun in growing more luminous as it moves along the main sequence, our planet will become too warm for life in just about 900 million years.
So when you're walking through a beautiful forest or along the eternal ocean, think about the fact that this planet is in its late middle age, growing elderly. The long story of life on this planet is mostly past.
First, money subsidizing a private company is really the worst of both worlds. Private space companies can and do survive on their own.
Second, you seem unaware of all the space companies out there that move things into space. I'm thinking of at least SeaLaunch and Orbital. There are others.
$65 gets you an EFF T-shirt. I gave them $35 last year, but I figure a T-shirt is a good reason to give them more. $100 gets you a hat AND a T-shirt. Expensive clothing, but at least you're helping to keep speech free on the Internet.
And keep up with the action alerts - You don't have to even write anything. Just click a couple buttons and a letter is faxed to your Senators.
I felt the same way until I switched to another telco for my long distance. After a few months, I got a line on my bill for a few dollars for Sprint long distance. I called them up and asked why they were charging me, that I wasn't their customer, I would never be their customer again, and that I wasn't going to pay them a penny. They balked a bit, and I asked them to check my call record. No calls. They removed the charge. A few months later the same thing happened. I told them if it happened again I was going to start calling public service commissions, writing letters to Senators, and starting web pages about their abuses and incompetence. So far, they haven't billed me again.
I feel like I won because I won. You lost when you typed out the first capital 'H' in the word Hypocracy. The rest was just yelling about it. Think of it as a corollary to Godwin's law.
Whoop! Just throw the numbers into a formulae and let's see what comes out.
That's not what I said. Social sciences can't do that any more than a hard science like astronomy can.
Your 'Fourier transform' analogy breaks down. One can do spectral analysis by other means.
The analogy is fine. An analogy is not a proof or evidence, and if the analogy does not hold water in all situations that quite alright. An analogy is just an illustration, a way to clarify and communicate the point I was making. If you choose to look at the details of the analogy and ignore the point it was trying to illustrate, then you'll miss the point.
The 'clobber data with statistics' social 'science' is often a solution chasing after a problem to solve.
"clobber" is the word you chose, not me. Statistics is the only way to analyze the type of data that the social sciences have to deal with. My point is that part of the reason the social sciences have lagged behind the hard sciences in producing results is that the tools needed for analysis are still being developed.

Didn't one of the terrorists say that too? Hmmmm.

I would too. You would be very interested in this link then:

It's Dick Rutan and his rocket powered Long-EZ. Future plans are a small rocket powered airplane to carry paying passengers on a suborbital flight.
Good comeback to the critic: "I didn't make it for you."
Worked for Dr. Frankenfurter...

If you read the article you'd see that the pr0n is already encrypted.
You probably should read the article before you post a comment.
You obviously didn't read the article.
You're completely wrong. You didn't read the article, obviously.

Twas Lockheed that made the error, not NASA.
And how is NASA stifling private competition? Seems like there's more private space companies now than there ever has been.
Privatizing everything is not the solution.
Oh come on, they're DOCTORS. Surely they have access to other's feces. They don't have to use their own.
