If those computers have two-button mice, then replacing the mice with one-button mice might work. The single button defaults as "left-click", and if the OS is expecting a two-button mouse, it probably won't have a key&click combo to simulate a right-click.

I'd like to see a menu option that lets the user specify what type of line-ending is wanted. Upon making the choice, an open document would be automatically given a search/replace pass, to change all line-endings to the specified type.

I think it is time to go into the parasol-making business.

It only works if businesses learn from it and act on what they learn. In the case of the lead article here, it is apparent that the greed of cable companies has now met the Law of Diminishing Returns. Whether or not they decide to be less greedy, and take prices back down to what they were roughly a decade ago, which should cause floods of customers to come back, remains to be seen.

My laptop has a screen res of 1600x900, but I don't use it. Instead I have it hooked up to two external monitors, one oriented landscape style and connected via HDMI port, and the other oriented portrait style and connected via VGA port. And each of those monitors has 2048x1152 screen res (Samsung 2343BWX). The laptop isn't able to drive its own monitor and both of those monsters, but I don't miss the laptop screen at all.

The story here is, likely, both a classic and a must-read for all AI researchers. Because even if no bug gets exploited, there could be other --and mystifying-- ways that an AI algorithm solves a problem.

Owning legal copies of music is cheaper in the long run than paying over and over again for streaming it. And one debacle after another, in the digital-music-storage industry, has made it clear that that type of ownership is not as trustworthy as owning hard copies like CDs or vinyl.

Nevertheless a simple conclusion is possible: Just start wearing clothing woven from metal fibers (see various classic science fiction portrayals of future clothing). Isn't it nice how we finally found something else that Hollywood actually "predicted" correctly (not the reason why; just the wearing)?

Actually, Global Warming has been linked to increased rainfall in many areas. So, if those areas build rain-catch/control systems, they might have enough to relieve the shortages of rainfall in other areas --places where both the rainy and the dry currently pull water from common reservoirs. There might not be very many such areas, but what I'm describing could be a decent start.

I'd like to point out that a considerable number of on-line graphic stories (and sometimes they are also very comical) have been published by their authors as dead-tree editions. Therefore those stories, at least, can be enjoyed either way. Some of them have been getting produced for enough years that multiple volumes are available, while the complete archive is usually also accessible on-line.
Since personal tastes differ, I'm not going to especially recommend particular comics. However, here are a few that I personally have enjoyed (in no particular order):
SchlockMercenary
Questionable Content
Sluggy Freelance (you might want to turn off Javascript for this archive)
A Girl And Her Fed
Girl Genius (has won multiple Hugo awards)
Freefall
Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic
The Monster Under The Bed
Grrl Power
General Protection Fault
Be warned, some are not particularly safe for work, and some have archives large enough to keep you busy reading for months.

I'm wondering if they are taking into account the overall general increase in the total number of vehicles on the road. If someone leaves a major highway to try a back road, isn't that a hint that the major highway is full of traffic? So I'm interpreting this report as noticing that all the extra cars on the road are filling up the back roads, since the major highways are about as full as they can handle.

Regardless of the reporting, I'm interpreting the article as Samsung competing against Apple by offering phones of comparable capability that cost less to fix, because easier to fix (if only takes 2 hours). Some folks might switch because of that.

Quantum entanglement is real, but also seems to be really temporary, most of the time. Think about all the effort going into building quantum computers, which require quantum entanglements to be maintained in order to work. All long-lasting entanglements seem to require very special and very rare circumstances, compared to most environments in the Universe.

The Teamsters might be better off demanding assistance in training for alternate employment. Perhaps as drone operators....

No, they talk arrogantly. Remember the classic claim that "power corrupts"? Well, there are more varieties of power than political power. Knowledge is power. Money is power. Intelligence is power, too. And it just so happens that in all four cases (including political power), the first symptom of corruption is arrogance.
