How about yet another lightly sprung microswitch, this time attached to the plastic casing?

One note of caution. Until you have a lot more data from a lot more users, this is not an ergonomic mouse, but is more of a test platform to test the idea of whether this is an ergonomic mouse.

Surely the simplest solution is just to use microswitches that are lightly sprung, so that the weight of the finger is enough to hold them down. There are probably some that would work as drop in replacements in already existing mice.

There is seemingly a scientific consensus among scientists in fields relevant to climatology. If we ignore all of those however, then I would agree that there isn't a scientific consensus in the general populous on climate change, especiall

On it's own, it is just freak weather, which is why I was wondering about the probability of a clump of them, given the description of the weather cycle that triggered this. Lora Koenig, the scientist you quoted, was also saying that repeti

Oops. I wonder if this pattern of heat domes will continue for the rest of the summer and what their frequency is. By the end of the year it might no longer be as unusual.

That's rubbish, there are plenty of scandinavian neo-nazis. They strut around pretending to be vikings and loudly claim to be the master race when drunk. I've run into a few of them. [edit] Also, as a mate of mine pointed out, they can't be

If you have to think of something witty or else you will get fed to the tiger, then I can see it having some effect.

All mineral reserves are basically 20-60 years into the future. Not true, proven bauxite reserves are in the hundreds of years range. But when it comes to the acceleration of technology argument, I just think that when compared to solar/s

All electricity installations are subsidised, one way or another. What we need to ask is what the subsidy is for and if it is likely to help. As far as I see it the question comes down to how much investment it would take so that solar is c

There are many available technical solutions, is just that the majority aren't as cheap as burning oil or gas yet, at least for most situations.

There are maybe 60 years worth of proven reserves if we don't increase demand, at least according to BP in 2009. If that is end of story for the future of energy, then it is a fairly bleak story.
