For Windows 7:
Start Menu -> Right Click "Computer" -> "Manage" -> Device Manager (under system tools) -> Mice and other pointing devices -> Right click on your laptop's touchpad and click "Disable".

Make sure you've got another mouse to control the computer with after doing this :)
Hope that helps!

They have had protests which have involved hundreds of thousands of people.

On left-leaning news stations, there was a total blackout of coverage, while on the right-leaning news station it was akin to the second coming.

I remember watching CNN on a night when I knew that the protests were occurring, and not one mention was made, so it's really not surprising people haven't heard about them.

Mod parent informative... Even Jesus didn't know when the rapture was to occur. This guy somehow knows better?

For those who don't want/care to look this up, Matthew 24:36 states (in reference to the rapture) "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." - NIV translation

Unrelated note: For some reason, I mis-read the slashdot headline as "What To Do When the Raptors Come?"

what do you do when the raptors come?

And I thought my crazy-ex-girlfriend story was horrifying... As the (former?) target of a psychopath, I had multiple encounters with police (who tended to assume guilt) and all my online accounts hacked and defaced. I would.still be dealing with it today if she hadn't gotten caught in a bald faced lie to the cops, which was just dumb luck. You have my sympathy good sir.
