7/27    What's your favorite mouse? (pointing device)
        \_ The hockey puck.
        \_ Buttonless optical mouse.
        \_ Mus Musculus
        \_ The green Toshiba clitoris
        \_ MS IntelliMouse (non-optical) w/tweezers
                \_ tweezers to do regular cleaning?
                   \_ yes
                      \_ why not just get the optical one?
                         \_ I bought one.  I've used both the big one
                            and the little one.  Too jittery.  I'm used
                            to the mechanical ball.
                      \_ Logitech has a new line of economy optical
                         mouse, under 30 dollars.
                         \_Ms has a new line of economical optical mouse
                           as well, selling just at $29.99.  Actually the
                           same price as the Logitech's one.  However,
                           Logitech's looks nice.  Reliability wise, don't
                           know how the two mice compare.
        \_ Apple Pro USB Mouse.
        \_ Logitech "Cordless Wheel Mouse" is pretty cool
           \_ Idea is cool but it is laggy, droppy, and has bad wheel feel.
        \_ Logitech non-cordless wheel mouse with thumb button.

8/1     Where is the mac desktop going to go? It seems all the development
        in sw/hw now is for the iphone, imac.  2 finger Gestures won't work
        on the desktop.  What happened to the xserve line?
        \_ Two finger gestures DO work on the desktop.  Have you used a new
           Apple laptop lately...they support up to 5 finger gestures.
           \_ you're making my point even harder, do the 5 finger gestures

5/26    Finished Braid; beautiful game. Good job, blojo. Looking forward to
        the Next Thing; will be more than happy to kick out another $15
        for quality like this. --erikred
        \_ I hate this game. I've been up until 1AM the last two nights.
           Normally I go to bed around 11:30PM. Sooo tired. But it is
           beautiful. First PC game I've purchased in 9 years.

11/25   So I have this annoying problem with my mouse set-up and was wondering
        if the motd.collective.wisdom had an answer:
        1) When the mouse focus is in the browser, scroll up works but not
           scroll down. It used to work in both directions.
        Set-up is: FF3.0.4, MacOS 10.4.11, Mighty Mouse. -ausman

10/15   Anyone have experience with cleaning logitech trackman keys?
        The thumb button if very flakey.  Blowing air into it (after i
        opening the case) seems to only fix the problem for a little bit.
        Am I better off just buying a new one? (* Its only about 3 years old *)
        There is no info on the logitech site about this issue.

        \_ That is pretty awesome, but why are her eyes so bloodshot?
           \_ Jesus! Do you really want to look at her closely enough to find
              out?!? Keep moving that mouse before she _notices_ you!
        \_ She looks Japanese.
           \_ 1/4 of the Asians have hepatitis. She probably has it.

10/7    I have a laptop with 3 mouse buttons, running linux.  left
        button is dead.  I'd like to remap the middle button->left button.
        How do I do that?
        \_ Mmm, maybe get your laptop repaired?
        \_ xmodmap in X11, whatever linux user for a mouse damon (gpm?)

9/27    Ok so to do the equivalent of  the following:
        bool ? a : b
        In Python, it is:
        (bool and [a] or [b])[0]
        Uh, kick ass?
        \_ 99 times out of 100 if you use the trinary operator you are

8/31    More Japanese Jubblies mouse pads, and an instructive sign for
        those who don't get it. (Pretty much SFW)
