Assuming your use of laser meaning it uses a laser to track its movement on the surface, I'm pretty sure that optical and laser are the same. The optical sensor is a laser.

I concur. My Logitech has had the same batteries for over a year, and I use it daily. It has even been blinking its red "low battery" light at me for at least a month, and still works fine. I think Zapix got stuck with a bad mouse, but that's no reason for him to swear off mice all together.

For drivers under 25, try to use Priceline to name your own price (even if it means being bidding a bit more than listed price). What you end up paying extra for in the bid, you'll make up by far by being exempt from the under 25 age fee most rental groups tack on. That fee can be as high as $25 a day!

Depends on if its business or personal. For business, work is paying for it, and the schedule is more important that the cost most of the time. Continental for going west, US Airways or Delta for going east. I only compare prices if the travel is last minute or the fares are just really high.

Hope you enjoyed your time in the Big Easy :)

And the free Google Apps accounts, too, right? I have a few freebee accounts, and while I don't use the Google Apps Sync, I think I've seen the instructions on how to set it up. For me, I either access the web client, or get my Apps mail via my iPhone. I cut the cord to email clients a long time ago for personal…

Do you have FTP access to your hosted storage? Google "folder sync" and you can find lots of good third party programs that will automatically sync a given folder on your hard drive to your provider's FTP site. If your FTP uploads into the root folder for your webserver space, and you have 'directory browsing' enabled…

So they "find" probable cause and search you. Big deal. Any lawyer worth their degree can get that search excluded if the probable cause wasn't justified.

I LOVE last.fm. Its the best thing since... well, Pandora.

I like the idea of the same OS running on my tablet and my desktop, rather than similar OSes running on those devices. Tiles for the tablet, legacy look for the desktop, a combination for my net book or whatever.

I never knew about the ? being an explicit search. Thanks for the new info!

How about adding a second wordpress account to the mobile.domain.com site, and then changing the database entries to access the original mysql database for domain.com?

That should read, "another reason why I don't use Facebook." Unfortunately, I can't say it either, as I'm sucked in just like the rest of the internet.

I'd also like to throw namecheap.com out there as a domain name registrar, hosting provider. I pay about $60 a year for a moderate (not the cheapest) plan that give me 1TB of monthly bandwidth and up to 20 domain names all in the same shared space.

Yes! PHP is very helpful with this. You can go from simple to very elaborate on how you want to tackle this.

When do I get my 300 Tricky-Dick fun bucks as a settlement in what can only turn out to be a huge class action lawsuit against Epsilon and the companies who trusted Epsilon with my contact info?

I may not be thinking this through, but I'm pretty sure you're going to be sending URLs to google. It just makes sense. You send one URL to google to check it against their master list versus google sending you a HUGE list that your browser will then have to sort through to check it against your URL.

I think everyone is missing the point. Its not that he's taking artsy pictures, or that an adult is eating fruit roll ups, or that you would be more likely to have a flash filter than a fruit roll up in your kit. The point is that when you are in a pinch (emergency or not) look at your available tools and see if you…

According to Flash, this couldn't be done due to "security reasons." I wonder what changed?

@NuevoLeon: I'd hardly call it shitty. It might not be perfect for you, but it changed the way people used smartphones. Even though many new (and possibly better) smartphone OSs have been released since the first iPhone, development would not have occurred as fast had they not received a quick kick in the balls from…
