Both CRT and LCD monitors can cause severe eye strain and even pain. It's not always about the basic technology behind it, but more about positioning and how close you are to the screen, when you unknowingly click on that goatse link. Bleeding is not uncommon.
Actually, zone therapists might have something to say about that. Somewhat similar to acupuncture, but more dubious, I think.
And while I'm venturing off-topic, foot massage can be really good, I've noticed. If you like walking barefoot you might want to try.
And back OT. I support the idea of collecting all the random fool's-stories from other places into one article at the end of the day. Only clever or witty ones should be in articles, or even better, a slashdot joke of some sort. Like, "Microsoft has bought up slashdot" or "Math coprocessor released for PS2".. or even like tunnustus.luola.net did (the finnish equivalent to grouphug.us). They replaced the front page with a notice saying that the police have confiscated their servers and data because of the numerous references to criminal activity in the confessions, but anonymity is "likely" preserved. Now that one had me thinking for a moment.
But as they say, COBOL was an early attempt. This is not COBOL. Also, this does not require that you word yourself precisely: you type in stuff, and out comes code. If there's something amiss, then correct the typo, and the code gets corrected. Then take the code and do the actual work of implemeting everything needed, inside the frames that have now been conveniently made for you. Think of it like this:
"You: I want to make a lah-di-dah program.
Com: Make it look like this.
You: Ok."
If you're hard-core enough to intuitively know what classes should be made, what functions you need, fine. But you still need to type that out. I say let the computer do the menial tasks, and leave the actual thinking to the human. This has the potential to do just that.
But this is not a language. This thing takes English, and makes an outline of what should be done with it. Then you look at it, understand it in 2 seconds, and fill in the blanks. This, instead of writing all the tedious stuff yourself.
This one thing that would be most helpful to know, but which is impossible to convey in any other way that learning the hard way. I think another way of saying it is: "do not cause any friction".
Cultural differences between Japan and what country? There is no single source, because you need one source for every single culture. Thus: find someone smart around you (not just any chick-hunting loser) that has been to Japan, and ask some questions. But even that is probably not enough. It seems Americans among others usually have a great deal of adjusting to do, while some other cultures are more similar.
The starting point is the same as for all other cultures though: Drop all your prejudices and conceptions beforehand. That includes stuff you learnt from anime. Then you can start reading some stuff, but never trust one source alone.
Strangely enough, the LCD on my Zaurus makes noise in some of the lower-power modes. It has a brightness scale from 1-6. 1-3 get successively brighter, then a slightly larger jump to 4 with an accompanying buzzing noise. 5 has the same, and all noise dissappear at full brightness. I guess it's the component that lowers the voltage to the backlight that's the culprit. It's mostly low freq. though, I haven't been able to determine if there's some higher component.
I can imagine you wouldn't be bothered by it if you only stare at the monitor, but unfortunately the rest of the world doesn't have a refresh rate at all.
But the shake/use ratio for those flashlights is quite low, and might be worse for an iPod. However, a Shuffle for jogging might be a good idea. How about a pedometer combined with a iPod shuffle?
Slashdot Mirror
We need to start a grassroots movement to promote this.

I make sure to eat my anti-asteroid pill every day. Ain't nothin' hit me yet.
Whoa, that's a good link!
iCame, iSaw, iFucked.
But isn't it actually rtf, not html?
And don't forget when Google announced gMail exactly a year ago.
Certainly the only curves a lonely male slashdotter can hope for.

. . . Is there something wrong with me?
I think Norwegians think he's from Sweden. And Finns and Icelanders laugh at 'em all.

they used a magnifying glass to burn the fuzz in their opponents' navels, from where it would spread to the ship?
No wonder it didn't work out so well...

Actually, I like the mobile games the most. I have all of them :). Except the ones that don't work in my P510, which is most :(

True, they are much better for the development cycle
If you give your nuts a good thwack, you'll find those kernels are equally unstable.
Slashdotters are immune to the forbidden apple, you know...
..Or like the driver who tells the police officer: "I was running out of gas, so I had to get quickly to the next gas station!"
