Then we decide which of the combinations we want to use. The camera doesn't need the scale, because we are smart enough (since we shoot with Leicas) to not have to set the EV scale. And if that sentance is properly punctuated, I'll be damned surprised. About that optical mouse, use a piece of cardstock under it for a mouse pad. The subscription cards you shake out of all your magazines finally have a use!
