And how would I be able to see things from your perspective without these fine sirbrand Stupidity Goggles?
Well sir, taking your stupidity goggles off would go a long way. Try it, really, do try it and report the results. Do take all of them off of course. It would have insufficient effect if you only took off your blue striped pair, sir.
To right click with a two-button track pad you'd either have to use a second finger, a thumb, or lift your finger, place it on the right button, then press. If you are used to the macbook trackpad you always use your middle finger for the actual guiding of the mouse pointer on screen, with your ring finger hovering next to it. To right with two fingers takes no more effort than the methods for right clicking otherwise. Especially as you use the two fingers all the time for scrolling.

Wait, you're wearing goggles that filter for stupidity and not against it? This explains a lot. Here, try these ones on.
@LukeB: That's pretty neat. I remember the PPC iMac days of the puck mouse.. sometimes simplicity isn't such a good idea.
Right clicking on a macbook? Tap touchpad with two fingers. Or ctrl click. I'd have thought this was in the tutorial videos.
I just bought an inexpensive mouse with two buttons and a scroll wheel. Problem solved.
There is no problem that has not already been solved in three or four ways with the current macbook touchpads. I expected a mouse would always be the easiest thing, but after a month with a macbook I never even bothered plugging it in. Now I only use a mouse for fiddly jobs like video editing and music creation, but can get by on Final Cut and Cubase without one.

I'm not wearing any goggles, sir, I was using second person singular throughout that post, I was talking about your goggles, sir, the pairs you wear. This does show how absurdly effective your goggles are at making you see utter stupidity where it's not, though, sir. It's rather depressing, having lost you to the death grip of your stupidity goggles making you see these... these ghosts of stupidity. They do not exist sir! Snap out of it sir, you're not yet old enough to be fired from the insane asylum, really!
You do remember that it was me complaining about you being cranky when you went off on a tangent about stupidity goggles? Try and be consistent. Could you also try and be a bit more coherent. If you manage that, you could also try and be a bit less cranky.

I full well know what we are on about, sir, and I'm being very consistent in the matter, sir, more so than you. You're just trying to twist and turn this conversation into incoherent babbling and steering us away from our goals and making me look like the bad party, sir. Whether this is a disgrace or expected of your kind is however something I do not know for sure. I mentioned your stupidity goggles because you've consistently, as evident in this exchange between us, sir, been seeing stupid things that never were. You've been consistently, like a professional, been babbling nonsense. As I said, take them off, your stupidity goggles, sir, resist them, you are yet too young to leave this insane asylum.
Or would you rather switch places, sir? These jackets surely are snug, and the pillows surely are soft. Any non-human being like us would surely be fond of them.
I think cranky young guys are funny. Seriously, if you start out that cranky, what depths of crankiness will you reach by your 70's? Also, he is pleasant on chats. I would imagine that in person his crankiness is less abrasive than in the inflection-less realm of text.
Rym and Scott essentially encouraged him to behave the way he is right now.
This is what I gathered. He's pretty much typing as much as possible to prove how quickly he can type and how easily he can type whatever he wants without thinking, or as fast as he's thinking. He has griefing super powers, just like Rym and Scott said.
But he's having real trouble forming a consistent insult so while his fingers are good and his spelling and grammar are ok, shitcock in a tuxedo is still shitcock. Maybe we're all just used to Nineless being Nineless.

Wait, when did they say this? I do not recall hearing them say this, though I haven't listened to every second of Scrym for some time now. I think I broke.
I think I said in the forum one time that you were "approaching griefing" and Rym agreed? Sometimes you post with surprising vehemence and scorn relative to the mistake/topic at hand. We still like you, though.
That method probably works, but it's the dumb method. One minute on google. It literally took me twice as long to read the posts in this thread from halfway down (Günter's post) to the bottom than finding the solution. Just replace the value of ui.key.accelKey in your about:config with '17' (should be '224'), and you'll have Ctrl-shortcuts instead of Cmd-shortcuts. That keyfixer extension probably does just that only wraps it in an extension and nonsense options surrounding it. Typically a case of RTFM, Scott.
WRONG! Changing the accelkey in about:config is one of the first things I tried. My first instinct was to go to about:config and search for keyboard, key, etc. I then used Google to find out what the different options did. I changed the accelkey to 17. It does not work. It has the same problem where the menu option will light up with ctrl, but you still have to use command to actually make anything happen.
Remember. I am smarter than you when it comes to technology. That is why you listen to my podcast as opposed to me listening to you. You do not know anything I do not know. If you found it with Google, I also found it with Google. Save your RTFMs for your mother.

Ohshit!
WOW! It's been a while since I last saw Scott's ego shine this brightly!

Have you looked past your nose? If you looked at the page I linked you can see, especially you with your supposed marvellous technology intellect and insight that is wholly incapable of thinking up the Google query "change firefox shortcuts" and has to resort to his apparently dumber listeners for help on such a trivial topic, there are related options. It is very well possible that the Mac OSX Firefox defaults require you to change more than one value before it does exactly what you want.

Great Scott, I would completely agree with this argument if you actually talked about topics during the show that require some intelligence. Instead you just banter about simple and mundane things. Of course, we mustn't forget that I barely listen to any of the episodes these days due to this fact, only the occasional topic that is so mundane I just have to listen to your opinions on it, like typing. Oh, and if you found the solution on Google, why did you ask? I don't think you found it on Google, enjoy lying to yourself. Really, being enjoyable background noise doesn't make you smarter, just background noise.
Oh, and Scott, you forgot a spot when spit-shining your ego, need my help there too?

It isn't a madness, it's just a different method.

Also, mice, not that useful on sofas [couches?] and chairs.
