Even better, it can be stored INSIDE the mouse if you disconnect it for some reason.
I have the VX450 nano (I can't stand scroll wheels without detents) and am constantly surprised at how good it is.

I always find it difficult to understand that people can't see the difference.
Strapping a bomb to yourself and blowing up kids in a shopping mall = terrorism
Staging attacks on military forces = not terrorism
But the eye is more sensitive to blue light than to red (in dark conditions), so shouldn't blue tinted be better for seeing than red tinted?
Witness: My watch, with its blue "indiglo" backlight, will light up my bedroom at night, but in daylight the light from it is impossible to detect.
The red-illuminated alarm clock on my nightstand appears to be of equal brightness whether the room is completely dark or it is very bright.
Cones and rods don't have the same low light color sensitivity.
I thought it sounded very much like the saddle sores that cyclists can get from a maladjusted bike.
You can't actually knock someone down with a bullet unless it's also powerful enough to knock down the guy firing it. In which case it would go straight through anyway (which most non HP bullets tend to do).
...they used to go after gun manufacturers all the time. The only thing that stopped them was a law passed under Bush, The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms act. (that is a rather crappy Wikipedia entry, but you get the idea)
Unfortunately, because Illinois is evil, they continue to bring lawsuits against gun companies, for the crime of...making guns.
Personal responsibility? You must be new here.
Yes, we call it parallax.
I have two eyes, but no stereo depth perception because they focus on very different points (even with a prism in my glasses my brain refuses to let them form one image, see "horror fusionis").
Stereoscopic vision is not the most important part of perceiving distance, objects that are further away seem smaller, objects close to you pass in front of objects further away (observe birds with no overlap in field of vision bobbing their heads to get an idea of distance).
We already simulate single eye 3d pretty effectively, minus focusing.
It would be awesome if a ghost came out.
Note:
If you bought it from Steam you can't use any command-line options, unless there is a workaround that someone has figured out.
Actually I am running Vista64 Home and Games For Windows worked just fine. And really I get pretty decent framerates on the game at 1650x10something. Must be the 6gb of RAM.
My favorite part is that you have to run it from the Rockstar Social Club launcher, but if you are logged IN to the social club it crashes with an MMA10 error. Or maybe my favorite part is that you have to be connected to Games For Windows to create SINGLE PLAYER SAVEGAME. Yeah, that makes sense.
I'm sure they will be able to soon.
Oh, there are bugs in Far Cry 2 that I haven't seen yet?
I like how if you use a mounted gun, the only way you can stop is by pressing "E", the default key. It doesn't matter what you bind it to, you have to use "E". I loved it the first few times when in the middle of combat I had to frantically hit evry key on the keyboard trying to figure out how to leave the turret.
I also got stuck in Mike's Bar because it wouldn't let me open the door. I reloaded 3 saves before I could leave.
It has definite potential, but it needs patching.
I always wished there would be a good USB charger for a generator hub like the the Son Dynohub (or even Shimano Nexus). I used to have plans of building one to be in-line with a generator headlight, but alas, I am lazy.
