Now that's interesting; my optical mouse sometimes gets 'juddery' while it's
on the wood grain of my desk, even though I'm not moving it. I wonder if
spurious movement like that at critical points is the cause of any
mysterious crashes for people.

Simon Smith     The idea of an uncrackable digital rights management
                (DRM) scheme is fundamentally flawed. Encryption is
                about A sending information to B while ensuring that
                C cannot read it. In DRM, B and C are the same person.
