Are you pretending to be an uneducated american such that you wouldn't pick up the sarcasm of the previous post, or are you involuntarily proving the previous poster's point?
I explicitly use sexual references in this post so you don't get hung up on the double entendres...
It's _repetitive_ strain. It's soft tissue injury caused by using your wrists too much. Without changing the mouse/keyboard I have (I've tried many different types - rollerball, pen, touch pad, etc. ) I found it comes down to rest and little more.
You must have breaks, and you must consciously relax your wrists.
Also remember that your time on computer at home hurts you too; so does _any_ other wrist related activity like foosball, making lemon juice, using a screwdriver, choking the monkey, doing circle-work on the bottom paddock, etc.
Wearing wrist guards to bed is a good idea if you sleep in strange positions, too. I tend to wake up on my bent wrists a lot.
Affirmative Action is just a way to address historical imbalance so the future will be more fair.
The theory is that at some point in the future, it is no longer required.
But I am yet to hear a special lobbying minority group say, "Thanks, we are equal now. We'll disband because our purpose has been fulfilled."
A statistically identified disadvantaged group should feel happy when they are no longer referred to with adjectives: My brother got married. (instead of) My gay black half-brother who had a sex change married his vegetarian indigenous cripple retarded muslim boyfriend with AIDS.
The scariest thing I heard on the news the other day is that some spokesguy in America said that a "Hollywood blockbuster was the best way for America to move the 9/11 story forward."
WTF does that mean for people? Do we trust Hollywood to tell the truth more than the media...
Don't talk to me about comparative national productivity until the American government stops counting a $60 markup on a $6 pair of shoes once it hits the shores of America, as $60 of production done in a minute on a computer by an accountant.
Ask anyone who has been written about in the media. I was personally amazed at: a) the amount of inaccuracies in the media b) the amount we trust the media to tell unbiased or factual truth
"Like most new forms of artistic expression that have come before (music, novels, movies), the primary critics of video games are the people that do not play them."
"Like most forms of criminal expression that have come before (rape, murder, theft ), the primary critics of these are the people that do not do them."
Rather than investing too much time and effort in creating a complicated crash-free program, just make sure your application can recover from a crash, and then use a process management application that restarts the program on it's node when it is detected to not be running properly.
It's simple to write a 100% correct program that checks the health of your main application, and restart it when it isn't responding.
But brought back so many great memories! The website Behind Enemy Lines told the story of a guy who was so sick of asking her to stop using his domain as a spoof email reply address in her spams, that he hacked into her laptop using a PC Anywhere security flaw, and downloaded some half-naked piccies and slash stories of her and her partner in crime, and posted them on his site along with the story.
Some people (people make nasty hurtful decisions, not companies, folks, people) take great joy in fscking nice people in the ear through deceit, and then apologising to them again and again until they forgive them so that they can fsck them in the ear again.
Some nasty people get a huge kick out of this and laugh until they cry if they can get the nice person to bend their heads over three or more times because they can't help forgiving and trusting. It really really annoys me, because I like to give people a second (and third) chance and I get a sore head sometimes.

Loop counting errors can be known as a "heuristic fencepost error," one of my favourite error names, next to "bad magic number."
In essence, "Count a fence's posts, then loop using the number of joins between the posts as a counter. You will miss one fence post."
Blow your mind.

If you only want to move the mouse along one axis, then fine :)
(The Theremin makes a monotonal sound of varying pitch, so one axis it is)

We give you UK citizens from Guantanamo and you give us McKinnon.
It's really not personal.

Sorry, got off the point there.
Hi there. I've read a fair bit of HG Wells, but I don't remember a regression story. Which one is it?
The scariest thing I heard on the news the other day is that some spokesguy in America said that a "Hollywood blockbuster was the best way for America to move the 9/11 story forward."

HAHAHAHAHHAHA, I can't believe I just wrote that.
I used to squawk into my 300 baud acoustic coupler modem to try to "hack" a connection to another computer.
Guess it's up there with the game cartridge hacks (which I used to do on my Atari 800)

Try to park in front of a shop-front window, so you can use it as a mirror. Makes you look tres skillful.
Rockin reference. I loved that story and read it in an old sci-fi anthology.

Sheesh.
"Leak" a "test" website, and gauge the potential customer response.
Quite clever.
Let's not forget the leaders who pervert a religion to turn believers into soldiers to gain more power.

Clicky!
Your Millenium May Vary
Except I think I just killed it. If not yours, then someone elses. Lots.
That's just what dumb people with low IQ scores and lots of stupid genes say ;)
Just because it's not on google doesn't mean it doesn't exist... ahhh, who am I kidding?
