I use a sit-stand desk with a cushy mat, but also have a tall drafting chair. I don't have to lower the desk but just pull up my chair when I get tired of standing. Doing it this way, you can use a static standing desk (cheaper to buy or make). As far as standing goes, there's been some recent studies that sitting for even an hour results in your metabolism slowing down, even if you exercise regularly. Standing up regularly is a good thing.
It would have to be implemented as a 'feature' by one of the gorillas (MS, Apple, Amazon, Google) but in such a case, it'd still be happening on a central cloud/server/thing. Would be cool to see someone ship a decent turn-key home A/V Web Server that would have a distributed social client but currently, the gorillas are all pushing centralized cloud servers. *sigh* I live in the country and we don't have the greatest network connectivity. Sure, for myself, I run my own home server but yeah, the rest of my family won't.
Just because da Vinci came up with the idea of the helicopter hundreds of years ago does not mean we shouldn't have worked atmaking it happen. Sure, some things are more difficult than others but that doesn't mean we should give up. Where would y'all like to live? A world where we only go after low hanging fruit or one where, despite many failures, we keep trying and improve on what we have done before?
Bottom line: On May 31, 2012, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) approved the addition of flerovium and livermorium to the periodic table of elements. The two new elements were discovered during collaborative research carried out by scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Russia. An official announcement describing the new names of the two elements will be published in the July 2012 issue of the IUPAC journal, Pure and Applied Chemistry.
ScienceDaily (Aug. 16, 2012) — A team of scientists led by Carnegie's Lin Wang has observed a new form of very hard carbon clusters, which are unusual in their mix of crystalline and disordered structure. The material is capable of indenting diamond. This finding has potential applications for a range of mechanical, electronic, and electrochemical uses.
Wright Patterson AFB has confirmed in an official press release that Tuesday’s test of the Waverider X-51A unmanned hypersonic missile has failed. Launched from a B-52 bomber over Point Mugu Naval Air Warfare Center Sea Range at 11:36 AM PST, the separation from the bomber and ignition of the X-51A’s rocket booster went as planned. However, 16 seconds into the flight a fault occurred in one of the missile’s control fins before the scramjet could start, resulting in the craft losing control, and the X-51A was today officially reported as "lost."
Exactly! Periodic Table of Elements is complete! The party will be "soon". All forms of propulsion through the air has been figured out. DOD and DOE are cancelling all further ramjet experiments. All you science and engineering students in college? Shoulda' taken Post-Raphelite Literature, loosers!
Exactly! Why do some people even try and make things better? I mean, are they mental or something? We should gather up all these folks that won't give up and refuse to recognize the futility that is man and shoot them off on a rocket ship to another planet!
I still have a PowerBook Duo 270c I had reassembled into a photo display. It's been packed away in storage until last week. Haven't come across the power supply yet.
Besides, that's military reenactment; ya run around in army gear firing blanks for 2 minutes and then argue for 1/2 hour if someone got hit. JUST like when we were kids.

'dearer' = 'more expensive' in real Engrish as well.
I'm not assimilated!
Forward takes you out, out takes you back, back takes you in, in takes you forward.

Wiait, did they or did they not have accredited degrees in Hacking and/or Cracking and were they licensed contractors with the state?
We've secretly replaced the Enterprise's Dylithium Crystals with Foldgers Crystals. Let's see if they notice!
Maybe he didn't set is time machine correctly and he meant to go back to 1904?

Guilders! So much cooler than Florins.
It's better to be talked about than not talked about.

Man.
I'm 45. I'm not old.
You could call me Dennis.
Yeah? Well, I like Ermglish Breakfast Tea. Earl Grey drinkers are stoopid sheeple that don't even know how to run a real kettle!

'04 VW Beetle Tdi?
I fix cars, mod MLPs, hunt, and game. But yeah, I don't get spectator sports.
This.
It's like accountants who like to play "Let's pretend!"

Most of the big order pledges (Vampire level ROCKS!) aren't shipping until March. Hopefully they can figure things out by then.
