Hardware Logitech MX Revolution Mouse

I've already answered this.


Don't lie. You can't skim for bugs when you're scrolling 50line/sec.

 

I'm pretty sure he does. I'm also pretty sure that anything in a decent amount of detail to do with a uni course is that long.

Might want to try being tactful or at least the slightest bit polite considering how new you are around here. Taking offence to peoples' arguments against/for a product just isn't necessary.

 

Do NOT call me a liar. Just because I do things differently to you does not make me wrong.

 

I'm pretty sure I go to uni too... since well... I go to uni.


Sorry but no prof is going to make you read 200 pages of notes at once.

 

And everything at Uni is made up of notes?

 

5. I am not attractive

Can I call you ugly?


Be serious. You CANNOT DEBUG GOING HYPERSCROLLING. and we all know freespin = hyperscrolling... click mode for ... guess what? slow scroll!!!!


slow scrolling = able to read
50lines/s = You're wasting your time.

 

I'm sure for some community college it's not?


but yea... prof upload notes.. you print them out... bring to lecture... so instead of furiously jotting down notes, you can actually listen and understand...

this is true for my Ochem, Biochem, GChem and even stats.

where you can't quickly draw the structure/molecule/ graphs and corresponding sample

and they're ~20 pages... and you don't actually READ them on the PC. Much easier on the eyes to print them out since you have to bring to class anyways..

 

Because of course every university in the entire world follows yours as an example. Also, your last point is terrible. I've read 200 page e-books on the PC without any trouble and I imagine many others have too.

 

Who said community college? Not every (in fact hardly any) University courses use notes entirely. Please can't you just accept the fact that not everyone is like you. We all use PCs differently, both at home and at work - and the fact that some people bring work home is not a 'sux to be you' situation.

 

So how would the university in your world work?

don't forget, you'll have to incorporate the crazy prof that hands out 200 pages of e-notes.

Good for you!!! 200 whole pages... did you remember to not book mark and therefore had to hyperscroll, again scanning at 50 lines/s, to get to where you were?


Think about WHY I said these things... not whether you've done it, but whether you've used hyperscroll to DO it

 

Okay.... so... what would the uni hand out 200 pages for? which was originally what I asked... in which I assumed notes... but then you said "not everything is notes" or something to that effect...


Sure we all use PC differently. But we're not going to scroll through 200+ pages at 50 lines/sec

It's ridiculous. You're not going to see where you're going or where you're going to stop at. Most of you are too ret@rded to realize the examples I've shown are not whether you've used 200+ pages or not, but you at least require 200+ pages to USE freespin... to which, you'll never catch where you want to go.


And maybe you like to bring work home.. but the whole reason why I'm choosing dentist over doctor is that you don't have to be on call.

 

I never said anything about skim reading. I was talking about getting to a point in code like you where.

/Leaving this discussion because it's gone far away from the main topic and I may get pissed off.

 

OK I've just realised how stupid arguing about a mouse on the internet is, and it scares me a little that I didn't realise it earlier, so I'm not getting into this anymore.

But, I'm not talking about someone distributing 200 pages of notes for one lecture - it could quite easily be a list of courses with details or other information. Also, thinking about it, 50 lines per second doesn't sound that much, or at least it's slow enough to keep pace with where you are. There ARE scrollbars in most programs now - I can't see finding your place in a large PDF being a problem.

Thanks for the congratulations though, I was pretty chuffed when I finished the feat of biblical proportions and finally reached that 200 page mark. 14/08/2002 never forget.

 

Here at Bellevue Community College, I have yet to have a single class where notes are available online in a year and a half of full-time attending. That's how the college in my world does work.

I would like to have a prof hand out 200 pages worth of notes, as it would mean I could skip buying the book. I already carry my laptop to class, so I wouldn't even need to worry about printing the notes.

And scrolling fast is a function that I use on a regular basis. When I'm holding down the [page down] key, I can catch words and phrases as they go past, and keep track of where I am. Having a hyper-scrolling mouse would make that easier, especially if the document scrolled smoothly rather than jumping from one page to the next.

(and to repeat myself, I don't bring work home. Not that I would mind... I work in the back, building computers. A regular day for me involves a couple Core 2 Duos, two to six 8800s, and a couple of terrabytes of hard drive space. Taking some of those home would make a definite improvement over my X800 and Opteron 165.)

 

I'm not really sure how fast hyperscrolling is... but I've seen a lot of text fly by scrolling through just 300 pages of intel's datasheets... too fast for me to read

Which is why I'm saying the MX revolution is ridiculous to begin with... since it's hyperscroll is used to getting somewhere on large pdfs or words or excel sheets.

Yea, I know what you mean... one time I was at pg 199 and my eyes started bleeding... then with a heavy sigh, I had to switched to the paperback version... for which I only read another 500 pages.

 

tenpounds - do you have some kind of mouse fetish? I've never seen anyone argue so passionately about a feature on a peripheral before.

 

H So I was right about the community college?

Don't know what you're trying to say here Dann... if you actually READ what I typed... my prof hands out notes 20 pages at a time... and notes are for what he goes over in class. Want to understand underlying/physics of NMR, too bad, go to textbook, not enough time for prof to go over in class. He'll show the core stuff ie. interpreting NMR instead of telling you in detail how it works.

since you already know what you're looking for cause you "know where you are" must mean you've already read it.... so you know what you're looking for...as I've said, search button. Freespin is much faster then page dow

okay... in your first post you said you worked in biochem industry and that going through pharmacitical supplies/ datasheets take 200 pages... I said, unless you take this home, you're not going to use the revolution on the pharmacutical supply lists/data sheets. To which, I said would suck if you had to bring this work home, use your spiffy revolution to look at this...

I don't know where along the lines you've decided to impress me with computer hardware.


I think you really need to get your eyes check...either that or ritilin... cuase you can't seem to actually read or respond to posts...

 

I do think the revolution is kinda sexy... is that a fetish?




I just think the revolution is a gimmick (specifically the increased DPI and freespin)... am I the only one who sees the emperor with no clothes on here?

 

I think it's you who needs to get your eyes checked... Or your reading skills. That was Tyr who worked in the Biochem industry, which he said in his second post:

If you're going to try to argue, get your facts straight, mmkay?

And no, 50 LPS isn't faster than holding down [page down]. On my system, [page down] goes through about about five screenfulls per second. At 1280x1024, that's a good twenty-thirty lines per screenfull, so holding [page down] travels at 80 to 180 lines per second.

Now, on your 486 running at 640x480, it's entirely possible that it's the other way around. I wouldn't know, I've never tried plugging a Revolution into a 486.

I think somebody needs to check that his medication hasn't been swapped for sugar pills... Oh wait, there isn't any medication for stupidity. Never mind.

 

I see, so you're the writer?

okie, I admit, I was wrong, I thought you were the biochem guy.

Oh NO!!! I thought you were tyr!!! damn.... must mean I have an IQ of a rock.. a stupid one at that!! I better take my non-existent stupid pills now!!!

Again, GET OVER YOURSELF. I'm not the one who goes to bellevue community college.... talk about the hallmark of stupidity

makes me laugh every time... community college

again. Since you already KNOW what words you're looking for... SEARCH BUTTON. typed this 3 times already.

PS: yea, I'm not even running a 486, I'm use a 386 man... for your information I'm running a T7400 W3J


Lesson learned: Never piss off some emo writer from a community college.
