Yes we are that lazy of a society, look at yourself. You write LOL instead of Laugh Out Loud. And there are numerous other examples muchlike the above one. Like remote controls.

Good point!

... I am not sure if I have ever written LOL as Laugh Out Loud... simply because it seems to defeat the style of my writing when it is written like that.. I dont know..

Anyway, yes we are a lazy society.. and I am in no way above the laziness. When I write code, "copy and paste" is my best friend. Besides being lazy, it's smart programming!

See, you don't use capitals or periods.

How does living in the Netherlands make using LOL any "funner" ( I use that word just to annoy my English teacher) than living in the US, or anywhere else?

In the Netherlands, "lol" means "fun" instead. (I hope that's what he meant.)

I had it on a mousepad with a picture of a cat, and it constantly jumped. When I put it on a plain grey mousepad, it stopped. Any reason?

probably the mouse was afraid of the cat.

anyway i have a dell mouse (wired) and it emits a red glow from the bottom, but how do i tell if it is a laser or an optical?

Hint:

If you have been banned by admin.. and create a new account ... best bet is NOT to reference your first (banned) account.

...doesnt really matter... if you keep it up admin will just ban your IP instead.

On that subject...how do you ban a non-static IP address (i.e. broadband)?

Laugh out loud.

Notice my perfect punctuation and spelling/grammar in this post .

Laugh out loud @ periods. Means another thing in our English society of cool language. Behold my maturity on these matters...

Even if he didn't reference himself he would have been found out... he hardly made a good job of covering his identity, laugh out loud.

Default Back To Mice!

Hey,
I have read an article about this new technology Logitech uses. The laser is an actual laser "class 1" device, meaning it falls down to the same category as the burners you guys have in your pcs. One more interesting fact, the new mouse with this technology has a much more focused laser beam and captures the movement in a more accurate way.

He he he
I think I was unbanned, for some strange reason..

CONGRATULATIONS!! I am proud of your perfect grammar and spelling. You even spelled grammar right, not grammer!

But you insult me by saying laugh out loud @ periods, especially that "@" thing. It uses the same amount of keys (shift and 2) as typing "at" (a and t)
