5. Your eye doctor can prescribe "computer glasses".
My eye doctor recommended an 'antiglare' tinting for my lenses since most of my day is spent sitting in front of a computer. It's part of the scratch coat, cost around $45/lens and is really only noticable when I take them off and look extra hard for it.
Also see http://workrave.sf.net/ for a Windows and Linux program to help you take breaks and avoid eyestrain, repetitive stress injuries, etc.

Implementing this would even be to Google's advantage. They would end up displaying more ads (because they'd be displaying more messages) and pull in more revenue.

Check out Warren Ellis' myriad of feeds. I've yet to see a day where something posted didn't pique my interest.
Greg Gaffin of Bad Religion fame recently released his doctoral dissertation on evolution vs. creationism. It's not available online in it's entirety, but I ordered by paper copy last week.
Gaffin is an excellent writer even outside of the songs he's written for Bad Religion. If you'd like a peek check out some of the essays he's posted.
Would anyone care to explain how this is flamebait?
I really am wondering why countries that don't have much in the way of resources are developing a space industry instead of a more 'tried and true' form of industry.
Actually, that was the second generationd definition of Third World, etc. The first was used during the French Revolution to describe the church, the royalty and everybody else. Your definitions were used during the Cold War to define sides; Communist, Capitalist and those on the fence. Today only Third World is really used and is used to describe very poor and underdeveloped countries.
Why are millions and millions of dollars being poured into space programs when Brazil, China and India are all considered Third World Countries. (China may be on the fence.)
Wouldn't this money be better spent on social programs?
Definitely avoid 3Com enterprise products. We had a customer's 3Com switch with a lifetime warranty go bad. It took them 3 months to ship a replacement. Upon testing the replacement in the shop I discovered that it had the same problem as the original. Three additional months later we had a working switch that proceeded to die in six months.
When non-technical customers buy computer components they look at numbers without knowing what they really mean. The may not know the difference between gigabytes and terrabytes, but they do know that 400 > 0.4.
No, Everything2 isn't a Wiki. In fact, the article I linked to made that very point. However, that particular entry on E2 describes what a Wiki is and why they are relevant to the parent's post.
The original web server and browser written by Berners-Lee was a read/write interface. The browser was an HTML editor, and you could edit pages that you viewed from the server. This makes absolutely no sense to us now...
Actually, with the rise of Wikis it makes quite a lot of sense.

Funny.
This does not only affect low bandwidth connections. It happens often to me on my 2Mbit downstream cable connection.

Ellis is definitely one of the coolest authors ever. You'd do well to check out his Transmetropolitan series and anything else he's written.

...had you read the article or checked out the Bloglines site, you would've seen that Bloglines _IS_ a web-based aggregator.
Dear lord. Posts like this need a 'WTF?' moderation.
xpdf comes with a utility called pdftotext that dumps the text portion to a plaintext file.
