True, I even thought about qualifying me post exactly as you did. However, I have used windows only for gaming at home and limited testing at work for more than 4 years. I have used linux as my primary operating system at both work and home since 2000 and since then I have not had to deal with, from my point of view, a nightmare.
Unless I was seriously blind. I wear glasses, sometimes it sucks, but I just couldn't bear even a 0.5% chance of something going wrong or any chance of blindness.
Owning a house built in 1909, I've read about asbestos and most of the people who get cancer from it (mesothelioma) were in construction, shipbuilding and other heavy industries that used a lot of asbestos. These people received prolonged heavy exposure to it, often for decades. If you haven't worked in these industries between 1900 and 1980, I think you have little to fear. The spike can easily be accounted for by the length of time the cancer takes to develop. It will probably rise for another decade or two, then fall off.
As far as single exposure or limited exposure goes, it is highly unlikely that that alone will cause cancer. It is simply not that toxic, few things (that you are likely to come in contact with) are.
Slashdot Mirror
More like mistakes.
Pretty soon my graphics card is going to do more, cost more, heat up more, be louder and use more electricity than the rest of my computer combined.
"Here at Microsoft, we spread duf(TM)."
This is slashdot, we know all about the weight lifter, gaping whatnots and projecting whozits.
Replied to wrong post (I am using links and I suck at it.)
P.S. can anyone access the New Scientist article? Surely it can't have been slashdotted this quickly!
It's been 'drudgereported' all day. I saw it this morning on drudge and have not been able to access it. Drudge gets more traffic than slashdot.

Did you know that IBM tells users not to install Windows XP update?
There is one too many words in that sentence.

I'd switch jobs if the new one was 5 miles closer...I'm working from home
You must have one big house. I'd suggest moving your office closer to your bedroom.
Pretty hard, apparently. Diebold may be full of shitty programmers, bad designers, who knows.
But electronic voting is simply not a matter of:
if ( $vote eq 'y' )
$y++
else

Tell me what's good about Linux
No widespread worms/viruses/trojans/spyware for one.
Cue the uranus jokes:
wait for it...
GO!
now... 3 years sounds more reasonable to me. Actually useful... I say
I don't know about that. I'd sure like it if the 500G SCSI raid array I just set up was warranteed for 5 years.
Sorry, wrong link in parent. 4752 registered domain names with google in them.

*bzzzz* wrong.
'Nuff said.
