I guess it depends on whether the photons have enough kinetic energy to knock a nucleotide out of a DNA molecule.
If they don't, you're safe, if they do, you would have to multiply the number of times a nucleotide gets knocked out, with the chance of developing cancer from that event (pretty small chance actually, it might even be that a base pair needs to be knocked out to create a mutation, not just one nucleotide, I wonder if anyone did any research on that).
Other than that the only thing that could happen is excitement of your molecules, making your body temperature rise, but I would guess the power you absorb over the volume of your body would be insignificant compared to other influences.
I will elaborate on this by expanding the parallel drawn between brick layers and coders: even I (as a coder) am able to lay bricks faster than the fastest brick layer, though my 'wall' will consist of a pile of bricks and mortar.
Which leads me to the following: the key difference between a brick wall artifact and a software artifact is the 'black-boxiness' of the latter, the 'observability', if you will, of the quality of code: a laymen cannot hope to recognize spaghetti code as easily as a laymen would recognize 'spaghetti wall'.
I believe this is a restatement of a completely trivial matter that should not even have been posted here, which is: besides quantity there is also quality!

We already have something like that in the Netherlands: http://www.webrichtlijnen.nl/english/.

For me it was pitfall

That reminds me of this short story by Roald Dahl.

Or maybe they just ascended.

His question was what do we use, I use redmine, what do you use?
But, how did you post the above message?
I use redmine, see http://www.redmine.org/
Coffee crumbs?
Sorry, what was that you said?
But is there an option to make it hibernate rather than shutdown?
I would propose not redesigning anything, that would be most user friendly, you know, have everything where you'd expect it...
Simpsons did it
