[citation][nom]house70[/nom]To all the tinfoil hats out there: imagine playing a windowed game that requires the mouse as controller; every time you move the mouse outside the game's window border, you essentially lose control of your game. Then you will run back to Google crying why did they not include a mouse locking key combo to prevent that? That's what this is about. Now go back to your conspiracy theories.[/citation]
i play almost every game windowed now, and i have to say, every game i have that is correctly coded has a way for the mouse to unlock without a ctrl+tab
now i can see an ad or someone being a completed douche programming an as/page that locks the mouse, and has no interrupt so you have to go to a basic os function, such as ctrl+tab alt+ctrl+esc or ctrl+alt+delete (one of them may be wrong, as i haven't had to uses it sense win 98)
now the point is, they are adding mouse locking, without forcing a standard way to unlock...
picture this.
a program that acts like a virus, executes itself and deletes everything that isnt locked by the os or even os critical things that just arent locked, and are mostly unnecessary for boot up.
most people who know tech could get out of that fast enough to stop any real damage, but people who don't? imagine if the program had a game attached, to distract them from losing all their files...
now please don't tell me that it can never happen, because we all know it can, and most people aren't against the locking itself, but that there is no forced method to unlock.
