Just breaks my heart to see the in-fighting.

errr, wait, switch that.

Palin said it would make “no sense” for her to drop out. If Begich doesn’t withdraw, “then you’ll be able to see us not just talking the talk but walking the walk that we’ve not yet begun to fight,” she said.

Patient is in recovery.
Scrollwheel click works but not at 100%. Plastic flakes in the button? Button worn out? Space monkeys?
I'm in the market for another mouse.

Feel better about the patient's chances. The scrollwheel contains the seeds of its own demise. The axle material has flaked off a bit into the button, presumably obstructing the electrical connection inside. Compressed air may help. Can somewhat see it here. White on left is plastic axle, resting on blue button. Magnification is ~20x
Isn't this interesting?

can't really recommend looking inside keyboards and mice via microscope

Please notify next of kin* the mouse may not survive the procedure.

Can't change Gnome* but I did find a repair guide for the mouse on ifixit because they are the best.

scrollwheel click...ain't. Anyone repaired a mouse scrollwheel?

Need that middleclick!

On a related note, what's _up_ with paste in Gnome? Just want highlight - right-click.
Gnome: Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Figure out the rules.

Pretty slick phish from what appears to be GoDaddy, confirming $400 charge for domains.

But.

I don't do business with that company under any circumstances.

PSA: keep the shields up and the laser sharks at full power.

Cheney without a Senate office's responsibilities still has: friends in high places, a lot of damning knowledge, and bountiful free time.
