The Mighty Mouse was fine, although people who don't wash their hands had problems with the trackball getting gunked up. The Magic Mouse is okayish, apart form the silly touch gestures. It is a bit too low profile and seems to have a tendency to pinch your fingers underneath it.

He is as incompetent as flatfish+++. flatfish+++ must know Melzzzzz knows he is just being a moron! Can UTF-8 characters be concatenated into a string with a logical connection to the "real" world; that is the question posed recently by those astonished at the fire-hose of nonsense from assorted google-posters and basement-dwelling ultra-cranks. For most I would merely suspect it is doubtful. However, given that it's flatfish+++ I would drop that step and go straight to 'bullshit' because that's most of what he does. IOW, he's earned it. Too much glue for you, flatfish+++. -- Do not click this link!! https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.c/KDQrv8appR8 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.c/KDQrv8appR8 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.os.linux.advocacy/smzXrBhsWf4 Jonas Eklundh Communication AB

Here is a list of names Jonas Eklundh has admitted he attributes to Klaus Schadenfreude "Cactus Pete", "Donald", "Donald Miller", "Horace McSwain", "Hymen", "meat", "Mike Weaver", "Modena IV Drid", "Omar Murad Asfour", "Rhino Plastee", "Soapy", "SopwithCamel", "Sunny Day", "Takuya Saitoh", "The Letter Q", "tmelmosfire", "zevon". And the herd is stupid enough to believe him. Please give a single time of a profitable business that has earned its position by not giving a shit about its customers and products. Doomsdrzej just wiped the floor with Klaus Schadenfreude. Nearly all people in this forum do programming either as a hobby or as a job, so I am skeptical Doomsdrzej thinks of writing macros to be "impossible". -- E-commerce Simplified https://youtu.be/D_so1dvjeyI https://youtu.be/HMx0RyzbPgQ Jonas Eklundh Communication

Facts about Steve "Steven Petruzzellis" Carroll
Steve "Steven Petruzzellis" Carroll is a nearly 60 year old guy who is single, broke and has no skills. He blames Peter the Klöwn for his loss of his wife and girlfriend. Steven is jealous of what Peter the Klöwn has and in a narcissistic rage repeatedly works to take it away from him. For over 10 years he has failed at even this. Steve "Steven Petruzzellis" Carroll is an utter failure in life.
Of his online life Steven says
I've been booted off by past providers before because people
complain about me and all my bullshit. I don't want to lose my ISP
*again* but I still need my army of sock puppets so I continually
search usenet for whatever servers I haven't yet been booted
from.
Some examples where Steven has been booted
X10 Hosting booted Steven for inappropriate activity
http://tinyurl.com/z92qmz4
Comcast booted Steven for inappropriate activity
http://tinyurl.com/h75nh9l
FreeHostingEU booted Steven for copyright infringement http://devsite.eu.pn
AwardSpace (atwebpages.com) booted Steven for breaking terms of service
http://demsites.atwebpages.com/pokeman
Imgur took down an image for breaking terms of service http://imgur.com/yv2XppE
Had a GigaNews account which was removed for harassing Peter the Klöwn
Stopped posting from his fretwizzen Google account since shortly after I complained. Seems he lost that too.
His wife booted Steven to the curb for cheating on her
Only site Steven Petruzzellis has pointed to that has ever been available
http://web.archive.org/web/20161019062351/http://www.oldneighborhoodrestaurant.net/
https://goo.gl/DMno6J
Made by the Go Daddy Website builder and is utter crap. Later he denied he said he was merely taking credit for someone else's work but Steven is the contact person http://tinyurl.com/hcw6dul
http://web.archive.org/web/20161202192456/http://www.reservationdiary.eu/eng/reservation/d76d1156-e9f7-43c1-b77b-b07189857820
He also bragged he was working on an update and showed it here https://vid.me/u6RK
The business still failed.
He likely went to the Go Daddy Website Builder after he failed to get WordPress installed.
https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13879
This is why Steve "Steven Petruzzellis" Carroll attacks Peter the Klöwn.
Steven Petruzzellis was is divorced because his wife caught him screwing another woman.
Peter the Klöwn is married and by all appearances happily so.
He never complains about his wife in COLA.
Steven Petruzzellis is living on charity of a friend in a single room.
Peter the Klöwn does not live in a mansion or even a high end home but has a house and a yard.
Steven Petruzzellis has two kids but no respect. He repeatedly called Ryan his "little screwup" and refers to his son Steve as a "dick" and worse. He says at least one of them likely hacked his computer and is a "mentally deficient child." He mocks his possible future daughter-in-law as someone who takes too many selfies and is focused only on herself
Peter the Klöwn has two kids (or more) and never speaks poorly of them in public.
No reason to think they are not a happy family.
Steven Petruzzellis claims to be a stay at home dad who pays thousands of dollars for day care. Steven has no job and no purpose in life. Steven has given up and now seeks a mother-figure to date.
Peter the Klöwn has his own business doing technical work and also teaches.
Peter the Klöwn offers a true contribution to society.
Teachers are truly under appreciated.

He would have to be afflicted with intense madness to be unsure of if he "never had" developed a website. Sound like anyone in here? When Desk 'Super Troll' Rabbit can not be consistent with his story and makes use of make-believe, self-esteem protecting BS later, it's completely clear what his ploy is. Desk 'Super Troll' Rabbit is far too idiotic to write a good script. The only scripting he's capable of doing is simple stuff I did years ago. A shadow of false cognition, projected quickly, at the wrong time. Now Snit Glasser on the other end of the phone doesn't matter. All that matters is Desk 'Super Troll' Rabbit gets to deliver his flood. So how to win? Don't pay attention the post. Honest discussion isn't part of trick and never was planned to be. -- Get Rich Slow! https://youtu.be/GPPqvw8iEBs https://www.facebook.com/jenny.eklund Jonas Eklundh Communication

Sockboy never agreed to stop accusing good people of being like him. He lied about his trolling just as you would expect. I think the point is more than to get innocent posters to listen to him. The point is likely to piss me off for spraying outside groups he knows I frequent. This is merely an amusement of mine. Sockboy claims to be the Linux professor. Let's see him put up a variant but lacking the sorting constructs. - Curious how these posts are made? https://youtu.be/0ZNxaaKD7-c

With all the bragging Snit 'The Shill' Glasser's done on this topic, the 'Growth Hacker' does not know how to do this. It seriously takes a couple seconds to click and drag across a paragraph and 'translate' it. HA! Over and over, the refrain is he wants to "talk tech", but Snit 'The Shill' Glasser spends most of his time whining about "obsession". You're like a shark in a goldfish bowl. We all see you there and thinking you are being clever. And you're so brain-dead you keep doing it. I reported him years ago. As expected, it did not a thing to thwart the bozo. Pay for a record check on Snit 'The Shill' Glasser and you will find that he was in a correctional facility for a long time. The probes don't go into that degree of specificity and court records need to be subpoenaed. -- Get Rich Slow https://youtu.be/iztSc_msHuo Jonas Eklundh Communication

They are not as good as a full size one... but they fit easily into a
bag. My wife uses one, sometimes, with her laptop.

You also cannot, at least with the Apple driver, set it up to work
