(foldoc) | mouse droppings

single) that are not properly restored when the {mouse
pointer} moves away from a particular location on the screen,
producing the appearance that the mouse pointer has left
droppings behind. The major causes for this problem are
MS-DOS programs that write to the screen memory
corresponding to the mouse pointer's current location without
hiding the mouse pointer first, and mouse drivers that do not
quite support the graphics mode in use.
2. The client address recorded in a
web server's log whenever a client connects to a
site.
Users may be unaware that their activity is being logged in
this way but the potential for misuse of the information is
limited.

RING DROPPING
(bouvier) | RING DROPPING, crim. law. This phrase is applied in England to a trick
frequently practised in committing larcenies. It is difficult to define it;
it will be sufficiently exemplified by the following cases. The prisoner,
with some accomplices, being in company with the prosecutor, pretended to
find a valuable ring wrapped up in a paper, appearing to be a jeweller's
receipt for "a rich brilliant diamond ring." They offered to leave the ring
with the prosecutor, if he would deposit some money and his watch as a
security. The prosecutor having accordingly laid down his watch and money on
a table, was beckoned out of the room by one of the confederates, while the
others took away his watch and money. This was held to amount to a larceny.
1 Leach, 238; 2 East, P. C. 678. In another case under similar
circumstances, the prisoner procured from the prosecutor twenty guineas,
promising to return them the next morning, and leaving the false jewel with
him. This was also held to be larceny. 1 Leach, 314; 2 East, P. C. 679. In
these cases the prosecutor had no intention of parting with the property in
the money or goods stolen. It was taken, in the first case while the
transaction was proceeding, without his knowledge; and, in the last, under
the promise that it should be returned. Vide 2 Leach, 640.
