But most of the time Computer Science deals in abstact rather than
"How %^$#! do I get my scroll wheel disabled in the game I am playing"
as practical problems. ( I am playing a RPG and the scroll wheel
selects spells used by the middle and left mouse buttons. Since the
mouse has the scroll wheel and the middle mouse button combined this
leads to problems if you hit the scroll wheel by mistake. )
Scotch tape or hot glue may be the answer.
