I wonder how this can be optimized for coding -- a break for your wrists, and the code is available under GPL."

  1. Good idea by dnoyeb · · Score: 5, Funny

    Most programmers really don't need the extra wrist exercise anyway.

    I wonder if this will cause your eye muscles to get bigger?

  2. So I am just sitting here surfing by Kasmiur · · Score: 5, Funny

    When a dang popup appears. Then when I look at it to close it it opens up another add. Suddenly I am trying to close all these windows when ADULT ads started to popup. Obviously since naked women are on my screen I look at them. So suddenly I am signed up to two porn sites.

    And that is why my screen is full of porn Mr smith. Please dont fire me. Its not my fault. Its this dang thing that uses my eyes to controll the computer instead of the keyboard.

    Didn't /. already cover this?
    Yes, but Timothy wouldn't be the Timothy /. knows and loves if he didn't repost articles that were less than 90 days old.
    We love you Timothy! Keep posting old crap!
    We love feeling intellectually superior to someone who gets paid to surf all day.
    Smooches!
