sorry, I have a faint feeling here that MS has got the open source community by the balls and is just waiting to squeeze.
If you buy an xBox you are buying MS, and they will find a way to get you to buy something else from them, (even if you run free apps) or force you to throw your box away if you can't fix their updates that crash your apps.
At the very least MS is getting version 1 of the xbox "linux vulnerabilities" bug testing done for free... just show everyone how to crack the xbox (even MS) and then see that crack fixed with a simple update in a game or virused in online...
This is all just "pro-xBox" propaganda, and shouldn't be given the light of day...
Just cause this relates to linux/open source/free doesn't mean it's good or news worthy...
One day (after 3 years of poor posture) my left arm when numb, the left side of my face went numb and tingly for about 2 hours. I'd had pain building in my wrists for days before this.
Local clinic said (duh of course) that all the computer work was causing the problems...
I did the stretching, exercising and breaks and all that, also I've only had a MS wave keyboard (3 years ago it was brand new and there was no other mainstream ergo keyboard)ever since starting on a computer and I still got the pain.
Long story short, I found an essential oil (lemongrass) that promotes the healing of tissue, and also relieves pain. I put a few drops on each wrist whenever my wrists hurt (every 10 minutes at first) my skin burned some from it, a good heat though.
After about 3 days of doing this my wrists got very stiff like a cast on the inside, they felt good though. They were stained slightly orange/brown from all the lemongrass oil.
That was over a year ago (January 2001) my wrists have not hurt since. And I confess I have done nothing to improve my posture besides sitting up straight and not resting my wrists on my desk.
This is a real solution to heal quickly and for good, that is purely natural (just one ingredient:) do this with all the other excellent advice mentioned above and you will see results the very first day.
Also the oil is only like $10 for a bottle that lasts for months.
Be sure to read up on these oils before trying this as you may not do something right and then complain that it doesn't work. Peppermint oil is another great one for nerve damage and pain.

Yes, but Red Hat is not a beligerant monopoly.
heh, I can see the editing here, your forgot the part
"...unless said work has been bought and paid for, then the end consumer can do what ever he/she wants to it."
What if someone found their copyrighted material on MPAA.com or some such site, could we then hack their site???

There's been chargers around like this on those fancy pants airplane magazines and sharper image for a loooong time...
This is nothing new...also this particular charger has been around for awhile as well... so (from the venerable words of Chuck B.) Good grief...

During an exercise that pitted the machines against each other in battle,...
We need someone with a sense of purpose to start designing robots for us...
Who wants a robot around that just designed to smash other robots?
[goes to robot store]
"I'll have a car washing robot, a couple of those house cleaning robots, and something to walk my dog and clean up after it..."
Although a robot that hunts down mosquitos would be good...
It just seems that the current crop of robot designers is very short-sited, overly filled with testosterone (sp?) or just plain violently evil...
early 20th century...
"let's make something that will clean the dirt out of house for us, we will call it a broom..."
mid 20th century
"let's make something that will clean the dirt out of house for us,faster and easier than our old crusty broom, we will call it a vaccum cleaner..."
late 20th century
"Hmm, the floor sure is dirty, I wish I had a robot to clean up after me..."
early 21st century
"Cool, robots are finally hear! Forget all that cleaning crap, let's have them smash eachother! bwwwahhhahah!"
mid 21st century
"help the robot is loose again! Martha get the shotgun!"
late 21st century
*all your base are belong to us*
[zapp] "ow! stop that! I'm cleaing already! Here let me oil your joints oh shiny one..."

Other vibration related damage...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/health/newsid_179 2000/1792102.stm
Ever considered something vibrating in your head would be as bad as in your hands?
Also, the vibrations would have to go through the jaw's joint if it were on a bottom tooth, and the joint would move and make reception unstable...
So it would have to always be on a top tooth, ever consider what would happen to that particular tooth after vibrating for a few years?

Here's where I got the lemongrass from... http://www.youngliving.com/
No, I am not doctor, and no I don't get any money if you buy anything from the site I linked to...
I have plenty of other first hand stories of these oils healing ability as well, so no, this is not a freak incident. :)
