Mav has stitches in his chin.

The girls are going to love it! (he's hoping)

Pain fades, wounds heal, chicks dig scars. Go Mav!

I'm going to have1 beer. Light.

I don't know how I missed this. Must not have been reported very much, or maybe I haven't been paying attention, but they slammed the shuttle Enterprise into a bridge abutment when they were moving it to NYC the other day. Damaged one of the wings. WTF?

OK - I got this damn thing at work and I can't figure out how to adjust the settings for the four side buttons. I'd like the smaller one on the right to be "Open in new tab" which would be the equivalent of pressing down on the wheel of my other mouse.
I also need to know how to scroll through a page without having to go to the damn elevator bar all the time. This mouse is supposed to be an advancement, yet I feel like I may as well use the up/down arrows and the tab keys. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Anyone?

Also, I HATE this thing.

Oh it's BEAUTIFUL.

I've been in solitary downstairs working on a deadline and I am having to use a regular mouse and already my wrist hurts like fuck.

But I never use anything but left click/right click, so I'm no help.

You'll get used to it.

No way. Dragging that odd shaped thing not meant for water by a rope with the wind and tide pushing it around... :headshake

You'd think they could have designed a barge that would extend beyond the wing tips so that if the barge did bump something, the wing tips wouldn't take the full brunt of the impact.

looks like they came in from the wrong angle. The boat behind (as seen in 2nd pic) is off to the right (in this case port side) I'm assuming the tide/wind is pushing them starboard which is where it hit. It really looks like they cut the corner instead of traveling further up and sharpening the angle as they made the turn from the main waterway.
My initial impression is an overconfident or lazy pilot. Admittedly its a tight turn into a relatively narrow canal, but still.

ETA -That lookout boat (out front with the orange sides) - is supposed to be watching out for EXACTLY that. The speed of the tug is also a huge factor. They are VERY powerful, but VERY slow also.

Chrome's "new tab" screen judges me for how I spend my time.
YouTube, IMDB, Tumblr, Failblog. All up there.
Every day it shatters my image of myself as some kind of unemployed intellectual writer, when I'm actually just an unemployable adolescent waste of oxygen with an overly time-consuming writing hobby.
I need to find some source of revenue and I need to move out of my dad's house.
So, thankyou Google Chrome.
Without judgement and social pressure, I think most people just fail at life.

Look in Control Panel and see if the mouse settings are Logitech's SetPoint or if a picture of the trackball appears. If not, look in All Programs for Logitech Mouse and Keyboard settings. You should be able to redefine all buttons.

A trackball is rarely a great pointing device IMO. But use of that one has sometimes helped me use a different set of arm muscles for a while, helps RSI problems.

I can't see how a trackball isn't a better device than a regular mouse. That one I'm using downstairs, half the time I have to pick it up and use it up farther on the table. Or move it to one side so I can slide it far enough to the other side. It sucks like crap.

The trackball floats like a butterfly. It has tons of control.

Maybe it's just my exceptional eye/hand coordination.

And that other mouse hurts my formerly smashed wrist something awful. All that moves with the trackball is my fingers.

I never have to move my wrist to move my mouse.

There are settings for that.
Ever wonder why a typical mousepad is the same shape as your monitor? Its not by accident.

Scrolling thru threads id ridiculous with that thing. I have to "wheel" all the way over to the frikkin elevator bar and click JUST FUCKING RIGHT to get it to move OR I have to grab the elevator and move it around - archaic I say!
center mouse wheel click set to "Open in new tab" ROCKS!
and when one clicks it where there is no link, it scrolls the page. mouseyball POS cannot do that.

You're just jealous of mouseyball. Mouseyball is king. You hate change. ;)

No one will ever make me not love my trackball. It just takes a little practice. I hate those freaking slidey aroundy mice. ANd I don't need no stupid mousepad with some stupid company logo on it.

It's 2012! The pioneers had to put up with crappy mice. We don't have to. :)

Once you go track, you never go back.
