I used the Trackman Wheel in CAD/CAM at my last job, and by the time I left I found that I had lost most of the strength in my right thumb from using it with the trackball. Even 6 months after I stopped using it, my left thumb is still slightly stronger than my right (I'm right handed). I'm using the Logitech Marble now, which, while it's missing the crucial scroll wheel and middle button, has really helped my thumb.

OpenDNS is just as bad -- they do the same thing. The real solution is to change your DNS servers to use the L3 DNS servers at 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.3, 4.2.2.4, 4.2.2.5, or 4.2.2.6, which are often faster than Comcast's anyway.

The article says that the electricity will cost $0.129/kWh and that the system will provide 200 MW for 15 years. Some quick google math shows that:

(12.9 (U.S. cents / kWh)) * (15 years) * (200 megawatts) = 3.392 billion U.S. dollars

That's the total mass for all satellites launched in a year, not a single payload.

It's not intuitive, but you can get access to ANY folder. You just need to give yourself ownership first.

Open a Windows Explorer window, navigate to the directory, right click on the it, select Properties, go to the resulting Security tab, and click the Advanced button contained there.
Click Edit, select "Administrators" from the list of potential owners, click the Replace owner on subcontainer and objects checkbox, then click the OK button.
After a couple minutes you'll be presented with a Window informing you that you need to close all property dialogs for the ownership changes to be visible. Follow this advice by clicking the OK button in the File Properties window and you should now be back at the Windows Explorer window you originally opened.
Right Click on the directory again and select Properties one additional time. Go to the Security tab, and click the Advanced button again also.
Click the Add.. button in the Permissions tab, type in Administrators as the name (ensure your Local Computer domain is selected), and select Full control from the list of available permissions. Click OK out of the Permission Entry dialog, select Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all descendants... then click OK from the Advanced dialog.
After a couple minutes you should once again be back at the File Properties dialog. Feel free to click OK and close Windows Explorer.

I never really liked the "Netbook" name all that much (especially since I use mine more for note taking and word processing, not surfing), and I think "Laptot" fits a whole lot better. Plus, since "Laptots" were African colonial troops in the service of France between 1750 and the early 1900s, it is unlikely to be trademarked.

Would it have killed the submitter to clue us in to what Enlightenment is? All I can get from the summary is that it is Linux related and now runs on cell phones. This isn't a telegraph, you're not paying by the letter, and there is nothing wrong with saying "the Enlightenment window manager" instead of just "Enlightenment".
