Re: Mouse calibration

The solution is not to touch the mouse after clicking "New Game" until
the race state changes to "Set".

If you change it when the state is "Ready", you "re-calibrate" the
centre of the screen, so, if you move the mouse up, you end up with
not 100% acceleration, and too much brake.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
