The SO got me an early bday present. Two wireless vertical mice (because one of my cats chewed the cord on my corded vertical mouse).
Now I have these weird "last page" and "next page" buttons I have no idea what to do with. But a nice new button to adjust DPI came with them too, and they even have a slot on the bottom of the mouse where I can store the USB connector. So, kinda cool... The only question is, what do I do with two of them?
Is it possible to be a two-fisted mouser? @=)

Did he get you a left and right handed one then? Otherwise you might find using the 2nd one in your other hand difficult. ^_^
It would be like watching a Leftie try and cut paper with a pair of right handed scissors. Heh heh heh. :hehe:

Hee. No. He got me two right-handed mice. So yeah, double-fisting might be a little difficult but trying it would sure take me away from the frustrations of working the entire holiday weekend. (I missed my floating down the river trip because of a work incident. Bleargh!).

People who are the excellent at something usually don't have to go around proclaiming that fact.
Dare we ask for the link to the thread that drove you to this post?

You can ask, but I was being intentionally vague for a reason.

Speaking of excellence... If someone puts "expert at ..." on their resume, how large a grain of salt do you take it with? Is it an automatic turnoff or a warning flag?
Or do you accept it at face value until interview time?

Anyone who does that is setting themselves up for nightmare interview questions ... as long as they are prepared and capable of answering such questions, good luck to them.

Usually, experts leave a trail behind them that can be traced. That would only make me ask harder questions and expect better answers than someone who just claims to have basic knowledge. In the end, I don't care if they claim to have ruled England, they still need to prove it.

It's a red flag, and I mean the kind you wave in front of a bull. Please, please, please, let me interview the "Expert".

Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees that word and suddenly sits on the edge of my seat. There's just something about this one that feels like a "if I put enough keywords down, the word salad will pass the computer filters."
