RE: Govt Source Code Policy

I was under the impression that code written by the government was public domain.  You and I (and private companies) paid the taxes that generated that code, so releasing it in anything less than a public domain is doing a disservice. Back when I worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs

Re: Mouse event problems

That *VERY* much sounds like hardware. Like, a lot. 1) If it's a wireless mouse, change the batteries. If it's *not* wireless, disable the trackpad and switch to a different external mouse. Assuming the issue goes away (which I bet it will), re-enable one, then the other, and see who's at
