I actually really liked the way Apple handled it on their 17 inch macbook pro. It had one physical button at the bottom of the trackpad that stretched the entire width of the trackpad. If you wanted to right click, you put two fingers on th

My favorite mud I played heavily during the 90s, AstroMUD, is still going strong. It's a pale shadow of its former self, but it's still there.

This is far more interesting... So, the "low Carb group" (Q1): had higher % of smokers, had higher % of diabetics, exercised less, had higher % of men. I don't trust the study results at all.
