I meant radiations in a broad sense. I honestly don't know if any kind of rayonnement from a screen may cause harm to the eyes. Only thing I'm saying is that if it emits any kind of 'ray', the intensity will probably go down quickly as you pull away from it.
So if anybody is worried by this kind of thing (and I wasn't, and after having read through your interesting link, I'm even less worried:), just get a little away from the screen. That's all.
First of all, if the problem stem from radiations coming from the screen, the farther you are from it, the less radiation you take. Since they must follow an inverse square law, even a few centimeters can make quite a difference.
Next, and perhaps more important: do NOT strain when you are looking at the screen. I spend most of my time in front of a CRT, and don't have any troubles. Take some breaks, before you eyes hurt. Even closing your eyes and resting them for a few secoonds is often enough. You can also put your cupped palms on your eyes, not touching them, elbows resting on the desk, and imagine pleasant things. Also, look out of the window from time to time.
Apart from these obvious things, there is a right way to look, and many wrong ones. Most people who have vision problems, headaches, eyestrain or pain are in this situation only because they use their eyes in a wrong way. If you want to know more about this, take a look at this site.
Unbelievable as it seems, I've cured myself of myopia, astigmatism and amblyopia in two years by using the method described in there (it's the Bates method). Besides, it's totally free, and this is a non profit site with no advertissement or such. Everything you need to know is in there
Don't take my word for it, give it a fair try, and see for yourself.
Well, I used to have -5D plus some astigmatism on the right eye, -2D on the left, and amblyopia.
When I first tested my vision on a Snellen card without my glasses at home, I had about 200/20 on the right eye, about 50/20 on the left. My left is normal now, 20/20, the right is at about 40/20. The amblyopia is intermittent, and proves to be the most difficult part.
Please check the imagination blindness site first. It's a non-profit site. It doesn't have anything to sell you. It's not related to the Scientology or whatever sect:).
It offers all you need to know to have a better eyesight. You can find the full "Better eyesight without glasses" book from Dr Bates online there. The Bates method works. I've been doing it alone since two years and I'm nearly back to normal sight. If you want to know more, you can do a search on google with kuro5hin+bates, you'll find my story there.
>As for Heroin, valium and alcohol being a bad mix.
Not bad. Deadly. An independent study as proved that people who "overdose" heroin didn't take any significantly higher dosage of the drug. It was simply that they couldn't find any, so they ressorted to alcohol and tranquilisants. When they did find heroin at least, they took it while still under the influence. Most time it went into an overdose. But that's not the kind of thing you'll will hear on TV. It's just much better to leave people dying, that scare the shit out of the others I guess. Btw, read http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/Library/studie s/cu/cu12.htm for more info
Because, as everyone seems to forget, watermarking is here to track down the FIRST user who leaked the original. Works like a serial number. Who can stop me from going to the record store, buying that new Britney Spears in cash, then spread it on Napster? They got the serial. Ah. Big deal.
Or maybe am I missing something?
"Their bodies, OTOH, should be disposed of in an environmentally freindly way. I say, burn me when I'm dead, and make sure the stacked has been smogged recently. "
It would be more environment friendly to bury people (without the chemicals usually used, of course) than to burn the body. To burn someone corpse, you must spend an awfull lot of energy.

Hu? Looks like a totally rightish-republican view to me: The state is only capable of police enforcement, leave everything else to the market/jungle law. Sure... See how it works now, just fine isn't it?
Don't wait! There are allready a player that just use a burned cd with MP3 on it. It just reads off the mp3 from the cd then convert them... There's an article in the french journal "Le Monde" @ http://www.lemonde.fr/article/0,2320,82820,00.html The player is called "mp 2000" and seems to be commercialized by a society called "Provideo", a screen for an Honk kong manufacturer. That's a killer, much better than any flash or hardrive solution.

Take a look at the rebuttal of these, there.
