drunk mouse syndrome
(foldoc) | drunk mouse syndrome
(Also "mouse on drugs") A malady exhibited by the mouse
pointing device of some computers. The typical symptom is for
the mouse cursor on the screen to move in random directions
and not in sync with the motion of the actual mouse. Can
usually be corrected by unplugging the mouse and plugging it
back again. Another recommended fix for optical mice is to
rotate your mouse mat 90 degrees.
At Xerox PARC in the 1970s, most people kept a can of copier
cleaner (isopropyl alcohol) at their desks. When the steel
ball on the mouse had picked up enough cruft to be
unreliable, the mouse was doused in cleaner, which restored it
for a while. However, this operation left a fine residue that
accelerated the accumulation of cruft, so the dousings became
more and more frequent. Finally, the mouse was declared
"alcoholic" and sent to the clinic to be dried out in a CFC
ultrasonic bath.

DRUNKENNES
(bouvier) | DRUNKENNESS. Intoxication with strong liquor.
2. This is an offence generally punished by local regulations, more or
less severely.
3. Although drunkenness reduces a man to a temporary insanity, it does
not excuse him or palliate his offence, when he commits a crime during a fit
of intoxication, and which is the immediate result of it. When the act is a
remote consequence, superinduced by the antecedent drunkenness of the party,
as in cases of delirium tremens or mania a potu, the insanity excuses the
act. 5 Mison's R. 28; Amer. Jurist, vol. 3, p. 5-20; Martin and Yeager's. R.
133, 147;. Dane's Ab. Index, h.t.; 1 Russ. on Cr. 7; Ayliffe's Parerg. 231
4 Bl. Com. 26.
4. As there must be a will and intention in order to make a contract,
it follows, that a man who is in such a state of intoxication as not to know
what he is doing, may avoid a contract entered into by him while in this
state. 2 Aik. Rep. 167; 1 Green, R. 233; 2 Verm. 97; 1 Bibb, 168; 3 Hayw. R.

HABITUAL DRUNKAR
(bouvier) | HABITUAL DRUNKARD. A person given to ebriety or the excessive use of
intoxicating drink, who has lost the power or the will, by frequent
indulgence, to control his appetite for it.
2. By the laws of Pennsylvania an habitual drunkard is put nearly upon
the same footing with a lunatic; he is deprived of his property, and a
committee is appointed by the court to take care of his person and estate.
Act of June 13, 1836, Pamph. p. 589. Vide 6 Watts' Rep. 139; 1 Ashm. R. 71.
3. Habitual drunkenness, by statutory provisions in some of the states,
is a sufficient cause for divorce. 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 296.
