The BBC is reporting results of a poll by UK charity Developing Patient Partnerships that shows crashing computers to be one of the most common stresses
The study also shows smashing computers to be one of the most common stress-relievers.
Has anybody else noticed that Beatles Beatles' website has now disappeared from Google searches for George Harrison (with or without quotes)? At the height of the BB conspiracy theories I clearly remember his site appearing on the first page of results, about 5th/6th in the list. Now, he's not even in the first 5/6 pages, if he's even in the first 50 (I stopped looking).
So what happened; did a Google employee get an identical submission rejected in favour of a BB story and seek revenge by bitchslapping george-harrison.info into oblivion for 'George Harrison' search queries? Or did the algorithms just wise-up to PageRank abuse? Surely you don't just normally drop from 6th out of 20 million results to sod-all nowhere in the space of a few weeks?
There are a few specific exceptions, like looking directly into sunlight and laser light, but other than this, reading in dim or bright light will not change the health or function of your eyes...It may feel more difficult to focus if the lighting is suboptimal, but this has no permanent effect on the structure of your eyes. Likewise, sitting too close or too far from the TV will have no permanent effect on your vision
- Dr Nicola Kim, Assistant Professor of Ophthamlology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
Dr Spock has also stated that children's eyes are not harmed either by being near to the TV, 'reading an excessive amount, reading in poor light, or holding the book close.'
Dr Robert Mendelsohn writes in How to Raise a Healthy Child, 'there is no scientific evidence that...reading in a moving vehicle..exposure to flashbulbs and strong artificial light...wearing another person's glasses...or going without your glasses will damage your eyes'.
In his book Bad Medicine, science writer Christopher Wanjek has expressed the belief that in the modern world there are only a few everyday activities that will lead to vision loss.
All above quotes taken from The Pedant's Revolt - Why Most Things You Think Are Right Are Wrong by Andrea Barham.
So basically, until there is significant scientific evidence to prove otherwise, you would have likely needed glasses after 30 years of computer use as you would after 30 years of burger flipping or limbo dancing.
I'd beware of any special 'computer-user glasses', not because they might damage your vision (unlikely, as the above experts would observe), but because they'll damage your wallet.
Now, being that I drove by a neighborhood with suspected bad people, I could now be bulked into that group. I'd still be perfectly innocent, because I don't know the people in those areas, but I'd look guilty as sin.
You forgot to add 'and then I get 8 bullets pumped into my head and torso'.
and that's to sensationalise, and write in big block capitals and short, punchy, easy-to-read sentences and paragraphs, using language suitable for the third-grade.
You forgot the PUNS, PUNS, PUNS!
It's bad enough that they're in the headlines, let alone the article text itself. Also, I love how they embolden (or is it italicise?) the puns, just incase the drooling readers can't spot them as-is.
For some reason I hear Dr Nick Riviera when I read the parent's post; probably because it's advice for achieving results by implementing lazy and inane ideas. You can almost picture the Simpsons episode where Dr Nick is hosting an 'Increase your news site traffic' class at the adult education centre.
It's especially funny when you get to the line:
Posting the same stories again can make your site twice as newsy.
Ahh, brings back memories of the Juice Loosener! It's whisper quiet!
Has anybody seen the film Coyote Ugly, set in a bar where the hot female staff dance on the bar-top? It's pretty shit, but one thing I remember was them chanting 'Hell no h20' and going crazy whenever somebody asked for water.
Reading the parent's comment, I instantly pictured him working in a computer shop, where whenever somebody asks for a copy of Windows, he and the technicians get up on the counter and start chanting 'hell no Windows must go' while gyrating and swinging their black Metallica t-shirts above their heads.
The disability office is just up the stairs on your right. You'll see a sign in red and green that says 'Disability Allowance' next to a door with some buttons by it. Push the button marked 4 and when you hear a noise telling you to enter, open the door and enter. The door is very heavy so you will need to push with both hands. You'll need to pass our metal detector and remove all metallic objects before you walk through it or you'll set it off and the door ahead won't unlock. Behind that door, there'll be another set of stairs that lead to a room with a bright, flickering light. Go through the room and you'll see a row of boxes at head height. Find the box with your name on it, speak the code word 'She sells sea shells on the sea shore' into the microphone to verify your identity, and you'll find your cheque inside.
Does anyone else find the irony, in that this technology was originally used to help one drive faster (rally corners) but is now used to enforce speed limits, rather delicious?
Just say that it's "woman's problems" and the laws of the universe state that the conversation with your boss is instantly terminated and a maximum of 3 sick days are automatically allocated without question or further detail.

Have a good day, welfare recipient.
So how about we put cameras in every home, in order to detect criminal activities?
You've got nothing to hide, so it's all fine and dandy, right? After all, why watch you? You're just doing your average activities, right?
