Thats pretty close, shape-wise to the MouseMan, which was one of my first mice.

When the MouseMan died I went to some cheapy compaq mouse, got carpal tunnel in my right hand. After realizing the cause, settled on the MX518 as others have mentioned (no carpal tunnel since). I primarily use a G500 now, but that has a horrible cable (on my second one in a little over a year). Logitech doesn't even manufacture the G500 any more; it's not listed on their site, AND doesn't have a single mouse with a similar button layout. The G502 is the closest, but is missing the top button (above the scroll wheel). I use that with AHK for various tasks (browser -> Ctrl+W)

The Logitech G700s should of been good, but the top button layout is horrible, it's nearly impossible to press the top-middle button without pushing down the scroll-wheel free-roll button. The top-left buttons require too much force, and aren't easy to choose between. The 4 thumb buttons generally aren't distinctive enough to use as Ctrl, Shift (plus 2 other functions) and accurately press the one you intended (unlike the G500's 2 thumb buttons).

I think that one is a toss-up, depending on what aspects you liked?

I enjoyed the actual "acting" in Enterprise. Both shows (Enterprise & Voyager) relied far too heavily on "temporal anomolies" (the core basis of each were pretty much centered on them). The difference?

Voyager's plots (and there were a lot) that dealt with "temporal anomolies" used the sitcom-effect, "whatever awesome or terrible event that occurs at the beginning is obviated by the end of the show" -- due to it being a "temporal anomoly".

Enterprise's plots that delved into Time Travel were used as an actual plot-device instead of a throw-away story.

Maybe he meant: TOS > DS9 > TNG > anything else > anything else > anything else > Voyager

As an owner of a Samsung Monitor I can confirm. No physical buttons, touch - that may or may not function when "touched" and the actual control of the OSD feels like it was designed with Asian literacy in mind (RTL). You will almost always press the wrong "buttons" in the wrong sequence, and even if you pressed the right "button", since it may or may not work - you'll probably press the wrong one next.

Opera 12 followed that ideology.

--- Then a few versions back, it wasn't much larger either, and basically had a WebServer built-in.

For some unknown reason Chrome/Blink requires ~35MB, and FireFox ~50MB.

When I first started using Opera in the late 90's, it was ~3.5MB, Mozilla with a Mail Client was over 25MB.

These AMD-based boxes are a steal compared to the "barebones" NUC's that Intel is pushing. Although HP showed off a half-decent Intel based micro PC at CES (value/$) --- when it comes to on-board GPU you are almost always better off with an AMD solution.

I asked a few months back now, about the possibility of BSD on Digital Ocean due to all of the SystemD shenanigans of late. Got an email notification today that FreeBSD droplets are now available on Digital Ocean. It will be interesting to see if other VPS/Linux providers follow suit.

CB.

It is sad, and somewhat scary, just how accurate Marilyn Manson was in his interview in Bowling for Columbine. The gist being, "keep the masses afraid. scared people spend money."

I've been pretty happy with the non-mechanical Corsair Raptor K40. Corsair also has a mechanical keyboard line with the same design but with cherry switches. Unfortunately, the price has jumped up to the Logitech price points --- previously the K30 was ~$40, and the K40 was ~$50-$60 (when it was stocked by Amazon LLC, instead of 3rd parties).

The only "short-stroke" keyboards that I've seen are pretty much just laptop-style derivatives.

I think we might see some improvements to some browser extensions and will get some control over the font situation.

One possibility that could be enabled today with a UserScript even:

Choose which fonts to allow the browser to see/use, make it an array, filter the page's HTML, replace any fonts that don't match with Arial.

Beyond that you would probably want an extension that has functionality like RequestPolicy, so you could allow some sites access to "all fonts", or one could get even more finely grained down to which individual sites can use which font.

Although it could even be done at the OS level. It will be interesting to see who does it first. If the browser is truely caged and segregated, then it should only have indirect access to system level folders.

In Canada there are 5 "main" companies.

Telecom: Telus, Aliant,
Cable: Shaw, Rogers, Eastlink

Much like the US, you will never have overlapping Cable service, and Telus and Aliant don't compete with each other either.

It looks like the Chrome team is working on the "let keyword", whereas according to Mozilla's own MDN, they plan to remove the "let" keyword? or they let anyone edit MDN resources.

Their DRM stance, like U-play (on top of Steam), Tages, internet required to not only launch but continue to play many titles. It all still continues to this day, even after a few years back they made a big PR announcement about reducing/removing DRM from their gaming titles. Yeah, well I never saw any change whatsoever and their older library of games still are infested with Tages and more.

If I see Ubi as the publisher, I just skip it. Although it looks like I've either accidentally purchased one of their titles, or it was so cheap ($5) that I gave it a go.

e10s still interferes with pretty much any addon that needs to have some type of JS input to the page/window.

RequestPolicy, likely all UserScripts (e.g. Greasemonkey and kin), LastPass (last I tested a week ago, was still non-functional).

Although Nightly with e10s enabled does at least appear to be working (better) with addons that only need to have input/listeners/control of the GUI.

I think its more about Firefox not releasing ram, than memory "leaks", but YMMV.
