The RCU subcomponent identified as "RCU read protect" is found in Dynix/ptx at lines 373-387 (Tab 1) and lines 1758-1825 (Tab 2). These have been improperly copied into Linux 2.6.0 at lines 124-125 (Tab 20).
The researchers said they did find an association between use of a mouse for more than 20 hours a week and a slightly elevated risk of a possible problem but no statistically significant association with keyboard use.
This means that they could see an association between use of a mouse for more than 20 hours a week and CTS, which where more than what could be just a coincident in the statistic. AND they could see an association between keyboard use and and CTS, but this was not significant enough to rule out statistical anomalies.
It seems like it is the article that make the conclusion of computers not causing CTS. There is quite a difference between the subtitle "Computer use not a risk factor in carpal tunnel syndrome" and "Computer use âoedoes not pose a severe occupational hazard for developing (the) symptoms,â the authors concluded"
If (or rather "when") they change the definition I think it will be changed into something which (in principle) can be reproduced everywhere. To determine a second you just need a cesium atom, and then to determine a meter you just need some light and so on. These should be reproducible almost everywhere. A definition like "1 kg = 10^25 silicium atoms" whould fit this requirement.

This seems ridiculous:
If I went to a computer shop and asked for an Intel processor, would the shop break the law if they told me that AMD also makes processors?
How can 83 lines be copied to only two lines?
