Your implication is arrogant and unscientific. "Because I don't have RSI means that it probably doesn't exist". Jeez!
The main goal of these ergonomic keyboards is to keep the wrists straight, and to keep the user from having to move their arms from side to side. They are a tremendous help if you need them, and can make extended programming sessions considerably more bearable for those that don't "need" them.
A close friend recently developed permanent nerve damage in his right shoulder. This was likely caused by both the mouse and the keyboard, combined with a less than ergonomic work environment. His doctors have encouraged him to avoid further typing to prevent aggravating the injury. For how long, you might ask. For the rest of his life. Nerves don't tend to heal very quickly, if at all.
Typewriters tended to cause less RSI because most typists, before the advent of the keyboard, did not rest their wrists during typing. Mousing is particularly bad. Those scroll wheels on modern mice are about as bad as they come, as far as ergonomics are concerned.
Reapeated stress injuries can be caused by a number of factors. In general, you don't want to have your wrists bent. You don't want to have a downward pushing action or forwards-to-backwards action with your fingertips (like with mousing and using a scroll wheel).
Of course, a number of other things can be done to help prevent RSI. A proper sitting position is important (don't bend your knees more than 90 degrees, plant your feet flat on the floor or on a foot stand, lean slightly forward with your back). A proper height for your keyboard and mouse is important (eye level should be 1/3 down from the top of the screen, keyboard should be about 3 inches lower than most people think). Finally, performing wrist strengthening exercises can help tremendously (a previous poster suggested Aikido).
RSI is real. You may not be succeptible, as you may have a more ergonomic environment, or you may be in better physical shape (although my friend is in excellent physical condition).

Bush could never have gotten NAFTA through a democrat-controlled congress. Democrats were, on the whole, against NAFTA. I credit the success of NAFTA not on some excellent negotiations on Bush's part, but instead on Clinton's ability to bring a fair number of democrats to support NAFTA, so that it could get through congress.
I'm not quite sure what ou mean that "the only things that Clinton and the liberals in Canada were trying todo (sic) is screw nafta up by violating the agreement with illegal subsidies/protective restrictions/etc. for there (sic) respective backers unions/farmers/enviro-nazis". In case you didn't notice, Clinton did more to alienate the unions than any democrat in 3 generations (hence the support for Nader). The farmers, in case you didn't notice the results of the 2000 election, are conservative republicans. And I'm not quite sure what subsidies or restrictions were attempted vis-a-vis the environment.
Look, I'm a democrat. But I think you're forgetting the '78-'79 recession, coupled with double digit inflation and double digit unemployment. That recession made the other ones look mild by comparison.
As for the others claiming the economy is cyclical, do they honestly believe Clinton had nothing to do with the longest sustained period of growth the US economy has ever seen? What about the delta in the budget deficit? I happen to believe this is a result of centrist fiscal policy (Clinton was anything but a liberal democrat). Reagan, Ford, Carter, and "w" are all towards the extreme (at list vis-a-vis the US political system). I wholly expect the economy to enter into a recession under "w".
And now? 2% growth is not a recession. A recession is, by economists' definition, two successive quarters of negative growth. Hell, the '91 recession barely counted as a recession....
Hemos, your simply does not belong in the story summary. Your story summary looks more like an comment to the story. Please refrain from including future rants in the story summary. I happen to be accessing/. from a server machine that only goes 640x480. Your summary filled almost two full screens. This is ridiculous. Besides, it gives the impression that feel your *opinions* about stories are more important than other peoples' opinions. After all, we can't add our rants to the story summary. It's almost as if you posted a comment, then moderated it to +5 (how about +6, so that it appears above all our +5 comments?). In fact, it's worse, since your comments appear on the front page of/., as well.
This attitude annoys me. Why? Every dollar diverted from the Superconducting Supercollider will have 10x, or even 100x the benefit if the money is spent on other science programs. Particle accelerators are simply awful uses of our research science budget. The cost of these things is on an exponential curve, as well.
Put it this way. How many researchers are supported by the data that would have come from the supercollider? How much did it cost? How much funding would be required to fund researchers in other disciplines? You'll find a 10x-100x cost increase for this type of research. And for the next generation of supercollider, it will cost an additional 10x more. This is the reason that governments are reticent to build new particle accelerators. It is somewhat akin to the situation with computer chip fabrication plants. Each generation, the cost of the plant goes up by a factor of 10. As a result, I suspect that only a handful of manufacturers will be able to afford building new ones (IBM, Intel, TI, Hitachi, Samsung, Phillips??). Everyone else will be forced to buy time at other companies' chip fabs (watch--I bet within 3 years AMD no longer has any chip fabrication facilities--look for a deal between them and IBM).
The same will happen with particle accelerators. Before long, the western world will unite to build a single particle accelerator bigger, faster, and better than any one country would be able to afford. Other countries (and companies) will lease time on the accelerator.
Oh, and what really irks me about this topic is that it seems that nuclear researches somehow feel that their research is inherently more important than that of a biologist, a geologist, or a chemist.
IMHO, it is *always* wrong to put someone to death, regardless of the reasons. I understand that society must make rules (laws) to keep some semblance of order. I understand that society must punish those that violate the rules. However, the death sentence is, quite simply, not a form of punishment. Punishment implies that the person will (hopefully) change as a result of the punishment. The death sentence is, quite simply, a vindictive action. There is no element of punishment in it.
Oddly enough, the US is one of the few nations in the "first world" (sorry if this terms offends--I'm not sure how else to state it) that still has capital punishment. When we see an issue like this from China, it should be used as a wakeup call to show how barbaric we, ourselves, are (that is, we in America).
In my experience, any optimizations that made real differences (i.e. orders of magnitude of improvement) are more likely attributed to improvements in the basic design of the algorithm. In other words, these sorts of "optimizations" are actually improvement in design. Generally, optimizations tend to offer no more than a 20% or 30% improvement--at most, perhaps a 100% improvement. The time invested during the optimization process would be better spent in the design stage; the money invested during the process would be spent on additional hardware.
First person shooters do very little, if anything, to make kids more violent (sorry, no evidence to support this;-).
FPS merely make it easier for parents to neglect their children. Just like TV did with the children of the past two generations.
If we want our children to be less violent, we should spend more time with them. We should teach them principles, morals, and ethics. These things are best taught by example.
Anything else seems to me to be an excuse for the parents, so that they can feel good about themselves.
There are some side effects of open-sourcing the SETI client. As I understand things, the SETI client periodically transmits data to an outside machine. If SETI were open-sourced, it would be easier for rogue programmers to alter the source to send files (or whatever) to a programmer. Sure, we would all have the source. How many of us actually look at the source? Furthermore, a less than scrupulous programmer could publish source that didn't match the compiled binary.
I am somewhat concerned that the SETI project could be a front for the NSA and/or Echelon. How can the NSA keep up with analyzing all those voice lines they're monitoring? Why don't they just right a cute little screensaver that analyzes voice lines, and transmits the results back to home base? Hmmm. If that's the case, they really don't have anything to benefit from open-sourcing the code. It is this that prevents me from running SETI on my home machine...
With the original Palm Pilot and Palm Pilot Professional, you could get a 2MB upgrade kit. Included in the kit is an IR port. This IR port transmits with about 3x the range as the Palm III. I don't know anything about the strength of the Palm IIIx and IIIe, or the V. However, I suspect the IR port for the origianl Palm Pilot still wins. And, yes, it does exist;-)
Of course, oversampling and filtering will smooth the signal back to its original state, within the signal to noise ratio offered by your bitrate (16 bit=96db, 20 bit=120db, 24 bit=144db) and the dynamic range provided by your sampling rate (44.1kHz sampling=->22.05kHz, 48kHz sampling=->24kHz bandwidth--of course, if you use an analog filter, you lose some bandwidth due to the rolloff, but oversampling should take care of this problem). However, within those constraints, the signal will be recreated faithfully.
The human ear is commonly accepted to have a signal-to-noise ratio of about 120db. I'm guessing that there are some with more sensitive hearing. Furthermore, humans are commonly accepted to have a hearing range of 20Hz-20kHz, excepting any hearing loss. Again, some can hear beyond this range. And filtering, which is done in analog on all but the most expensive of cd players, still incurs some audible problems with phase and intensity with existing cd players.
However, there are several standards proposed for audio DVD. The differences between them center primarily about compression, most standards will send stereo as a 96kHz or 192kHz stream, sampled at 20 or 24 bits. Will these produce ideal sound? Probably not. But they will sound noticably better than existing CDs. And, I feel they will sound good enough to supplant analog as the highest quality recording medium. Most studio masters are already recording using these faster streams and higher bit rates. Furthermore, by reducing difficulties encountered during the filtering process, even el cheapo $200 dvd audio players will sound excellent. Assuming, of course, that the analog pre-amplification stage is not done poorly (not a safe bet, but at least the problems are minimized).
Working on strong cryptography is not covered by export laws. It is covered by munitions laws. In the same way that an American citizen cannot work on a nuclear bomb project for Iraq, an American cannot work on cryptography for a foreign company or for a foreign open-source movement.
Basically, American citizens are not allowed to directly transfer intellectual property, whether it be code or simply ideas, concerning strong crypto to foreigners. Of course, Americans can simply write a book with these ideas and/or code. The First Amendment to the US Constitution is still stronger than the munitions laws. This is, in fact, exactly what Phil Zimmerman (he is the guy that wrote PGP, right? my memory is getting weaker these days...) did... he published the source code to PGP in the form of a book.
Whoah. Really? I've got quite a few CD-Rs that are about 4 years old, and none have failed. I'd assume some sort of Gaussian distribution of failures. Are your temperatures given in Fahrenheit or Celcius?
Don't know if anyone has any evidence to support this, but I've heard that the ones that appear gold on the bottom layer are supposed to last longer. The ones that are dark blue are supposed to be the next most durable, and the silver ones are supposed to be the least durable. Of course, this could easily be a marketing ploy.
A friend that has a pretty extensive collection of Grateful Dead shows (400+ shows straight from the boards, most with 2 discs) swears by the Maxell ones with the gold bottoms. Since I buy by the 100, and the price difference per disk is about 65 cents, I follow his advice.
Another commercial offering is DAVE. This comes out of some company in Australia, I believe. It offers windows networking on a macintosh. As such, you can use Samba to offer file & print serving to a windows network, with the mac attached as a PC client or server.
The guy was definately flame-bait, but he did mention that his language of choice is Scheme. There are few languages as object oriented as Scheme & Lisp. However elegant either language might be, though, I think you'll find few production systems using either. Given that, I can see how one can be easily drawn to the Lisp derivatives' simple elegance...
Most people I hear hitting 503 have to bump up the CPU voltage to 2.3 or 2.4V. I know of one that has done it (a co-worker). I, however, am afraid to run it any more than 464/103. Both are with 370 Celerons. From the word on the street, the 370 Celerons are about 90-95% effective overclocking to 450/100. About 80% are effective at 464. I've even heard of one company that guarantees 504/113 at 2.4V. I'm just afraid to run my CPU that hot.
Now, I just want to sell my existing mobo and get one of those Abits for dual Celerons. I'd love to see that...
IBM has a version of the ADSM client for Linux. I haven't checked into the situation in about a year, but back then the client was not officially supported. However, ADSM is really quite nice. This, of course, requires that the tape system be connected to a non-Linux machine.
The company I worked for when I looked into this performs remote backups via network lines. They also offer Internet access over the network lines they use for the backups. It's really a nice system. If you happen to live in Houston, check them out: www.edms.net
The flat pieces are fine..it's the corners I'm talking about.
They reflect radar right back at the source. This is, in a word, Bad.
Back when I wanted to be an aeronautical engineer, I was fascinated with this stuff. There were lots of photographs that were publicly available that show radar reflection levels of aircraft. Oddly enough, every corner and point has about several orders of magnitude the radar reflection, as seen from the radar, as the flat parts. Alas, these days are about 10 years ago, before the days of the web. I'm not aware of any such photos on the web, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are easy to find...
No, I'm not an aeronautical engineer. However, I did "study Electical Engineering in college";-) One of the required courses is electromagnetic wave theory.
Basically, whenever the wavelength of the wave is less than twice the width of a "pathway", the wave disperses in a spherical wave pattern rather than as a linear wave front. The result is that you get massive nasty reflection patterns whenver an electromagnetic wave passes near a corner. As a result, you want to minimize corners if you want to reduce electromagnetic wave reflections. This is common knowledge amongst people that deal with electromagnetic wave theory. This is not new, and has something to do with electromagnetic waves acting as both waves and as particles, depending on the circumstances.
Oh, and in case you still doubt me, please go to your local library and pour through Jane's, the military technology journal. They talk at length about the development of both the F-117 and the B-2. Although most of their information has been collected using illegal means, their information is continually confirmed when countries de-classify their military tech.
