The super-left never think before they speak.

There's always been a way around it - sign in with Twitter, refresh page. Tada.

Ditto! I love my Sidewinder x5, (I'm typing on the x6 ) and the mobile 4000 with Bluetrack is even better, surprisingly.

There's like a bajillion other apps, registry entries, etc. Google's your friend.

Wish granted:

Well, Huawei did do this... might want to add it to the post? http://truthalliance.net/Archive/News/tabid/67/ID/9347/China-tech-company-brags-We-hacked-US-telecoms.aspx

I don't know what View you're coming from. I don't see that at all. :D /s

Ditto. They need just a few lines, with Gen 1, 2, 3, etc. So many models, so little time.

Winning. +1

Have you tried a fresh OS install? Install your own drivers, use a non-oem disk, and your experience may be quite different - without bloatware.

Well, some linux users are security pentesters. Ultrabooks can come in handy for that. This device is purely for the geeks though.

This. Spot on.

I used to be that way, with XP and Vista. But when 7 came out, and it was WAY better than my Ubuntu setup and my Mac, I switched to 7. It is THE best OS out there for compatibility and ease of use, if nothing else.

Costs the most if you're not a geek/nerd like most of us here are. Just dig up that old P3 in the basement, and setup FreeNAS or Tonido. Throw in a 'newish' hdd, and y0u're golden. I would recommend a backup power supply if you're serious about it though.

I thought there were already pills for this. I can force myself to sleep in a non-movement state by imagining like rain, then laying flat on my back with my hands crossed across my chest. I wake up in the exact same position.

The medals should just say, "HIGH SCORE!"

Winning! Or losing.

Not sure why you say that, as it was obviously a joke.
