Addicted to Spam

I can't believe it.

I'm not only addicted to Ragnarok Online, I'm also addicted to spamming the Ragnaboards and now, after discovering the Game Masters' own blogsites, I'm constantly spamming them as well.

Sheesh..... Sorry about that GM Tristan.

Sometimes my friends forget that I also have opinions too. Only that I hold my tongue when they start talking and when they finish talking it's usually time to go home and my issues aren't heard at all.

The sadness of an island in the Babel Sea.....

Warning: All Wireless Mouse are -uh- bad

If you're thinking about buying a wireless mouse, don't. Very likely the LED will burn out within 1 year of your purchase and you'll have to go out and shop for another one. There is a very -uh- bad design flaw in wireless/bluetooth mouse and it is because of the fact that wireless/bluetooth mouse remain "on" until an internal timer tells it to turn "off". If you kept moving the mouse after you turned your computer off, the mouse LED will keep on going. So if you moved your mouse, it automatically turns on, even if your PC is still off.

My suggestion to these wireless/bluetooth mouse designing/producing companies would be to make a wireless/bluetooth handshake that would turn off the mouse if the handshake is not there.

Wireless and bluetooth mouse are expensive. Don't get one. It's not worth it unless you really need your mouse to be wireless. Even then, take off the batteries when you're not using them to save or increase the LED's lifespan.
