    There's a poster above that says he is the same. That's three. I suspect it's some kind of alien invasion.

    I have a colleague who uses her mouse upside down. Meaning invert x, invert y, clicking with her thumb, cable facing downwards. She says that's just how she started using it and it never occured to her to use it the other way. She's no less accurate than I am with a mouse either.

    I've heard stories of one individual completely stumped when he ran out of desk space but couldn't move the mouse cursor any more to the right than the middle of the screen. Clearly he didn't realise that you pick the mouse up...

  3. Re:Exactly on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    You know what else is weird? From wikipedia:

    In order to maintain as politically neutral a role as possible, Interpol's constitution forbids its involvement in crimes that do not overlap several member countries,[3] or in any political, military, religious, or racial crimes.[4]

    So why if the crime happened only in Sweden is he even on Interpol's radar?

    Surely if there was any case to answer, he should just be extradited from somewhere by political due process?

    Seems like what they're doing us purely based on political pressure based on clause [4] above. I wonder if it's anything to do with the current Interpol president being a former US Treasurer.

    Did you miss Vista? I apologise if you are one of Joseph Fritzel's children or Natascha Kampusch. That would be an almost reasonable excuse for believing that Microsoft have had a clean streak. Almost, but not quite.

    It would be interesting to discover if soldiers do the right thing because they are good or because they are afraid of the consequences. Next stop insubordination and war crimes.

    Don't worry, that would never work in the UK since trains are never on time or just not in service. That's actually why Hasib Hussain ended up blowing up a bus instead of a tube train.

  23. Re:Solution on Facebook Adds Friend Stalker Tool · · Score: 1

    None of this is default behaviour though. It might be tired and you might be sick of hearing it over and over but that's because it's a problem for a lot of people. If it wasn't a problem by default, you wouldn't hear about it.

    For you (and me in other cases) it's obvious that these and other more dangerous things might be configurable but for many non-technical people, it probably doesn't occur to them at all. Judging by your reaction to me, it sounds like you have very little sympathy for that and that they get what they deserve. I think that says more about you than me.
