It's been a long time since I had a system on which mouse input in D3 worked properly, so I can't even reproduce the problem. If you are using Mouselook mode, it might work with Flight Sim instead, but I guess that's not the issue. Regarding Krom's suggestion of merging the inputs outside of D3, the ...

Spawn shots on the server for each player with a delay that corresponds to their ping to the server. Not a bad idea.

There is a small natural neutron flux in uranium ores which can generate these plutonium and neptunium traces, so I might have been wrong about most of the neptunium on earth being man made, although most of the practically recoverable one certainly is.

Re: Christians Muslims Atheists. Who really is growing fast
Uranium ores contain roughly 10^11 times less plutonium than uranium, similar numbers apply for neptunium. The numbers vary, because transuranics are only produced when uranium atoms absorb neutrons not directly through radioactive decay. The number of available neutrons depends on the ore. Neutrons ...

Less used fuel actually produces less decay heat, as there are less 'hot' fission/decay products (uranium is only very slightly radioactive). On the other hand it is more likely to go critical if enough fuel rods get close together (which is not supposed to be possible). If fuel went critical, it ...

Well, they do have on/off switches, but you can only shut off the fission power. At normal operation about 7% of the power comes from decaying fission products and although that reduces quickly in the first few hours after shutdown just 1% is still over 10 MW heat to deal with.
