Microsoft mice are great, yes.  Thing is, though, is that Microsoft doesn't make them.  Somebody else does, and MS buys them.  Too bad that company doesn't sell mice themselves. ;)  My dad has an older optical MS WheelMouse; terrific.  My own mouse is a generic AOpen ball mouse with a scrollwheel; it serves me well, but I can't help but wonder, for how long.

TB:

i like that dragging mouse idea. have you seen napoleon dynamite? well napoleon takes an action figure, ties some string on it, chucks it out of the bus windows and drags it along. i just may have to try that- except with a microsoft mouse.

 ps- i wish someone could get the xbox being dragged from the hitch ball of a car caught on camera!

Just today I had to replace the burners on our gas BBQ. The burners are made of cast iron - two of our old ones had huge chunks of rust flaking off of them. I was able to "harvest" somewhere in the region of 200-400 grams. Now I just need some aluminium filings.......and I'll be able to rain hot thermite death onto any piece of hardware that I wish.

Barbeque a Microsoft Windows disk...
I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.

why? that's only hurting the buyer becuase now you can't use it. You're not hurting MS becuase you already bought it. Might as well sell it and attempt to make some money.

Doesn't that violate your EULA or something?

not even sure, I didn't say anything about the cdkey... you may have to check your countries copyright laws.

thanks for paying attention to the main point of my post. :rolleyes:

Who cares?

I don't see how the EULA makes much difference you don't sign it anyway, and if you're under 18 you can't be bound by a contract in the UK anyway.

I don't care.

The only thing you ever risk being prosecuted for is copying of using Windows on more computers than you're allowed to do, and eve then the risk of prosecution is really low unless you sell copied CDs at a car boot sale every weekend.

 
And the origional topic is a bit old anyway if I want to talk about destruction I'd rather talk about explosives and high voltages or something more interesting.

WoW I cAn DESTory A MicroCock MoUse bY BaShinG it UP!

Come on pack it with expolsives, connect it to the mains, do something fun for fuck sake. :)
This is not a Windows help forum, however please do feel free to sign up and agree or disagree with our views on Microsoft.

Oh and FUCKMicrosoft! :fu:

Damaging your home to spite Microsoft is either extremely ballsy or extremely fucktarded... I'm not sure which.

An X-box doesn't become worthy of its continued existence until you put Linux on it.

Have any of you tried that? I'm really curious about it. What becomes of the thing... Does it actually become useful? (the latter, of course, is only a possibility if the Xbox itself is not made by MS, just like the mice)
