Find a timer, set it to 45 minutes, and each time it goes off, get up and walk around for a couple of minutes. Make sure while you're walking, you try to focus on something in the distance.
Despite the fact that it's not a front page post, I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that this is the second time in a row that Slashdot editors posted a story about a contest before the contest was over!
The United States of America is the Shining City on the Hill, a candle in the dark and an example for the rest of the world. If we want to eliminate self-delusion and jingoism in China, we're going to have to start by eliminating it in our own backyard.
India, China & Russia: Congratulations to our taikonauts/cosmonauts/zergs on Mars! It was hard work, but we believed in you! We are very proud of you! Come home safely!
Congress: The United States of America is the greatest nation in the world, and our space program is the absolute best in the world. In fact, no other country even comes close.
I didn't want to reply to myself, so I'll put this out here:
What about your family? If you loved them, then you wouldn't let anyone in your family use IE, you'd force them to use Firefox for their own good. (Or were you waiting for when you see them on Thanksgiving?)
What about your friends? Surely none of them are still using IE, right? Not after you demoed its awesomeness to them and helped them install it, right?
What about your coworkers? (If your company doesn't allow Firefox, then just install it to the "My Documents" folder and you're good to go.) You could ask them if they noticed anything suspicious during lunch or something.
That's 3 groups of people you could've contacted, yet you chose to waste everyone's time as your first course of action. Bravo. BTW, do we get any indication that this story is anything other than Microsoft planted FUD?
Laser Squid Squad Nemesis, from the guys who did X-COM, was play-by-email, but I had to drop it after my school's idiot IT Dept. became convinced the LSN people were spammers.

Huh, I didn't notice that in either compiler suite. Sorry, but I don't know what to tell you. ^^;;
o_O How did you mention all of those and not mention cygwin?
pre-emptive: If all you know about Microsoft dev tools comes from Visual C++ 6, then give these newer tools a try. You might be impressed.
And if not, hey, it was worth a shot.
Look, as long as we get to bomb Cydonia and send troops into the Pyramids there to destroy the alien C3I, it's all good.
We do this every six months or so.

Problem solved.
(not satisfied? more)
Will they create a bot to mod their own submissions up on bash?
Any explanation of why they didn't have the vaccine on hand?

Happy doesn't begin to describe my mood. ^^v
The worst part is that I was trying to be serious ;_;
You know, something like, "If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and then make the change..."
Goddamned tax-and-spend liberals wasting 10 billion dollars when our boys in Iraq don't have body armor. >_<

Who do you think the people are going to believe?
The only thing that could make this better is if they cast the Rock is Master Chief.
Think about it! The People's Hero giving some covenant monster the People's Elbow! Box office gold!
When you drive your gas guzzling SUV all by yourself, I assure that you are not alone. Usama bin Laden himself will be sitting in your passenger seat.
How does one post get modded troll and the other modded insightful when they're essentially the same post?

I'm horrified that this is a front page post. What is wrong w/ you people?
Also, you are reporting the crash data back to the developers, right?

More Firefox-ko & Thunderbird-ko, please.
I'm sorry, what does this have to do w/ Colin Powell?
Has anyone actually tried this, or should we wait until it's done w/ the beta?
For those not paying attention, the lost city of Atlantis is in the Pegasus Galaxy...
Curious, how do you know Zeller's is the correct SILE?
