8/3     Kool-Aid killer?
        http://tinyurl.com/699ss
        \_ What does "Kool-Aid" refer it in this case?
                      \_ iPod/iPod Mini, but it is usually used as a generic
                         term for any cool apple product (not that there are
                         any un-cool apple products)
                         \_ one-button-mouse
                            \_ How many buttons are enough?  What is the
                               standard, Kenneth?
                               \_ 0: cool
                                  1: suck
                                  2: ok
                                  3: good
                                  3+wheel: best
                                  >3: annoying
                                  \_ Which OS do you use?  Your standard only
                                     applies to bad OSes (XP) or horrendous
                                     jokes (X-Windows).
                            \_ The no button bt mouse is still the coolest
                               mouse ever (maybe not the most practical, but
                               certainly the coolest). Even the one button
                               mouse started out cool (how many buttons did
                               your mouse have in 1984?)
                               My favorite mouse to date is the Logitech
                               Mx300 (2 btn w/ clickable scroll wheel)
        \_ KOOL-AID IS THE STANDARD!

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?

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