While having the proper posture and maintaining good health goes a long way, the keyboard is part if not most of the problem. Put your hands on the home keys on a regular keyboard and note the angle your hands make in relation to your arms. This kink will cause problems down the road. Now imagine using a split keyboard and compare the angles your wrists make while your hands are on the home keys. That kink will have decreased if not disappeared altogether.
My split keyboard actually separates and I place the two halves apart by around 1 foot. Most split keyboards have a fixed separation but they're too close to my personal liking.
The target minimum data retention time for NAND flash is 10 years
From a prior discussion here it appears that the retention time will decrease significantly with the newer MLC cells. Rather than 100K rewrite cycles, the 30nm 2-bit/cells are expected to have no more than 3K rewrite cycles; 3-bit/cell chips will have less than 0.5K. http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/HONSHI/20090528/170920/
I have read that VMWare Server's I/O is nowhere as good as a hypervisor-based VM. The problem being the routines have to go through the host OS. Having a lightweight hypervisor would minimize this overhead. At least that's what I think that's how it works.
I'm also thinking about an upgrade, but I really have no need for a 64-bit OS at this time since I have perfectly good hardware that's been left in a 32-bit environment. But new hardware is 64-bit capable and it would be nice to make use of potentially all that memory even though I don't run the apps that require more than 3GB. What does people think would be the best way to do that? Use something like ESXi and run multiple VMs, or run a 64-bit OS and host the VMs? I can run a 32-bit OS but that would mean not being able to install more than 4GB of RAM.
We agree with WTVT that the FCC's policy against the intentional falsification of the news-which the FCC has called its "news distortion policy"-does not qualify as the required "law, rule, or regulation" under section 448.102.
There is much legalese so maybe someone who is well versed in reading legal opinions could comment.
Thanks. I was just curious if the instruments were sensitive enough to detect planets in a system with let's say Earth, Venus, Mars, and Saturn correctly instead of just Saturn and X (a combination of Earth, Venus, and Mars).
No, I never tried it. I tried some condroitin and glucosamine but ultimately they did not help as much as: rest, proper physical posture, better devices, cardiovascular exercise, and conscious limiting of my computer time.
I think the important point you were trying to convey is when you type you need to extend your entire arm to reach non-home keys and not just extend your fingers. Chairs with linear tracking arms allow one to do this while the arms support the meaty part of arms instead of the wrists where the nerves are much closer to the surface and more prone to irritation.
Is it true that ice promotes blood flow? There was a time when I had to ice my hands so I could type for 8 hours/day with 5-10 minute breaks after every 20-30 minutes but doing that for a week caused me to regress and I started having new symptoms. In my case, the ice decreased blood flow. Sure, it alleviated the pain temporarily but it didn't help in the way I expected.
A proper setup doesn't help as much as getting the proper amount of rest. Someone who is just starting to work with computers can probably be on a keyboard and mouse for 16+ hours/day and not be affected if they get enough rest (sleep well for the remaining 8). Once not getting enough sleep for the body to repair day-to-day wear and tear, then the bar will be lowered until the hump is reached and one dives into RSI pain. For me, I was on the computer for 14+ hours for practically 6-7 days/week and after 20 or so years, RSI came into the picture.
If you get enough exercise and plenty of rest, I don't think you'll get RSI but if you're a computer potato and think you can get by with 2-4 hours of sleep after being on the computer for 18+ hours every day, your days are numbered without any lifestyle changes.
Exercise is correct but using hand grips is the wrong way to go. When you have RSI your soft tissues are already damaged and trying to strengthen them right after they're injured would make things worse. They should be resting. Strengthening exercises would be done for other parts of the body like back and neck muscles. The other thing that would really help would be cardiovascular which promotes good blood flow. Only after you're relatively symptom free should you slowly strengthen your damaged soft tissues.
To the original submitter: When I developed RSI many years ago, the initial conditions were tingling/pain in the tips of my fingers but would wander all over my hands and arms during day and night. Once I started to rest and not do as much typing/mousing, the symptoms would be much more pronounced as my body went over the hump and it could no longer repair the soft tissues. I then found normal keyboards and mice would exacerbate the symptoms since it doesn't leave my wrists in a natural position.
So I purchased a split keyboard from IBM and symmetric track ball, not the funky ones designed for one hand. I hope you realize the purpose of a split keyboard. The track ball permitted me to use either hand to do mousing and it rested in between the split of my keyboard. Through time, the tips of my fingers were not uncomfortable so I could use a track pad as well. It behaved somewhat like a track ball--either hand could operate it.
To this day I cannot use a mouse for more than 15 minutes of constant mousing. And my body is quite sensitive to how long I have been keyboarding/"mousing".
Since everyone is different, you will have to find what works for you. If you have access to physical therapy facilities, they often have lots of devices you can try. That's where I tried something like 5 different types of keyboards and pointing devices and I chose what I use now. I have 5 IBM M15s.
I can understand why you can't use a track pad because initially as your fingertips were sensitive, anything that touches those areas would feel aggravation. You should also be moving your entire arm while typing/mousing otherwise you would be putting excessive strain on your wrists. You should be able to use a track pad now after several years. But if you cannot, your work surface may be too high or you're not moving your entire arm while "tracking." Another thing that greatly helped me recover was to get a chair that have linear tracking arms. They supported my arms without impacting my nerves.
If you have a notebook with an nVIDIA graphics card made around 2008 you're most likely hosed. But most laptops tend to have HDs, VRM modules, and inverter cards fail so they're relatively easy to replace.
When I originally viewed it, I thought it was a documentary. After reading both sides of the issue of it's pretty clear that the film is a docu-drama and not a true documentary. The director edits the film so the story is engaging and if it paints certain individuals in a good or bad light it was for story, pace, and continuity. You have to admit that any good story requires an antagonist as well as protagonist.
Also realize that the film's producer is friends with Wiebe's friend so it's not like there's an incentive for him to make Steve W. into a villain. It's easy to make Billy to be the bad guy because his enigmatic personality, game skills and recognition at those games causes him to come off as arrogant for those who don't personally know him. If Billy is indeed a nice guy and not a scheming a-hole, the film would have unfairly portrayed him as something he is not under the guise a "documentary."
Adobe seems to have made an about face regarding their support for native 64-bit Linux support for Flash today... This includes a native 64-bit version for Linux
The summary was not clearly written so it's not surprising others thought it pertained to Linux only.

I need to have a good console so I can run my apps. It looks like ESX only allows you to login via RDP/VNC.

Yes. But I was concerned to see the restore media come in a flash drive. Maybe it's not really flash since it's read-only?
From a prior discussion here it appears that the retention time will decrease significantly with the newer MLC cells.

Personally I'm waiting to see if more hybrids like the Seagate Momentus XT will be produced but with more than 4GB of flash.
I think this post by Steve clinched it for the lurkers. http://undergroundthecomic.com/4chan_thread_20614483.html#20642617

Pretty sure if you get good at the guitar, you'll be spending less time on the computer and more time playing for women.

I prefer TinyURL because it can give me a preview of the expanded URL.
Are instruments sensitive enough to distinguish between one vs. multiple planets?
