they should put more buttons on the other side of the mouse.You mean, buttons on the side where that little red light comes from?-mouser (June 02, 2008, 07:23 AM)
Yeah, it's easier to read.-f0dder (May 23, 2008, 10:44 PM)
long spans of text in all upper-case are harder to read because of the absence of the ascenders and descenders found in lower-case letters, which can aid recognition.

Do any of you realize that the only American president to ...Mouser asked us to curtail the politics. Please help us do so.-Cpilot (May 21, 2008, 09:09 PM)

BlackBerry Giving Encryption Keys to Indian Governmenthttp://www.schneier....blackberry_givi.html
RIM encrypts e-mail between BlackBerry devices and the server the server with 236-bit AES encryption. The Indian government doesn't like this at all; they want to snoop on the data. RIM's response was basically: that's not possible. The Indian government's counter was: Then we'll ban BlackBerries. After months of threats, it looks like RIM is giving in to Indian demands and handing over the encryption keys.
Except that encrypted email will throw up all sorts of warning flags and you face a jail sentence in the UK for refusing to hand over any required decryption information upon request.True, it's not going to protect you from prosecution if you're doing something wrong. But it (partially) protects the privacy of the innocent, since the process of demanding keys can't scale up to the entire population's entire set of keys.-Carol Haynes (May 21, 2008, 05:43 AM)
But the US is not alone. British customs agents search laptops for pornography. And there are reports on the internet of this sort of thing happening at other borders, too. You might not like it, but it's a fact. So how do you protect yourself?

Being soverign nations they also have a right to determine who and what comes into their country.-Cpilot (May 18, 2008, 07:29 PM)
I had a look at this. It seemed very attractive until I looked at the screenshots under User Stories. I had expected it to be much more visual than 2D mindmaps, but it is actually much less - everything is represented as a pseudo-3D triangle/cone/pyramid. Just a slightly graphical frontend to a database.-Dormouse (May 18, 2008, 04:09 AM)
My own needs would include being able to use Images for nodes, having many different types of link (with different appearances) and having as many links as wanted between as many nodes as needed. The view of Topicscape seems like an army lined up with each officer having their men behind them - and all officers and men looking the same apart from size.-Dormouse (May 18, 2008, 10:08 AM)
I offered $15 for the new $50 Uninstaller 3I got a copy of Uninstaller 2 Platinum, through the link I posted above. I was really impressed with it, so I tried Uninstaller 3. It's a big step backward. For one thing, as far as I could tell, the automatic installation monitor is gone. More seriously, a manual install process requires the user to manually push the buttons for saving the state before and then after (why?!?), whereas v2 Platinum would automatically execute those bracketing operations.-Curt (May 15, 2008, 10:01 AM)
will their post be automatically deleted - or marked in some way as an example and maybe moved to the 'hall of shame' section of the forum.-nudone (May 14, 2008, 01:12 AM)
. At the very least there must be a means of submitting a request have one's shame removed.
