You could always perform isometric exercises periodically while you work. There are a pile of decent books on the subject. One reminder: remember to breathe while doing these exercises, don't hold your breath.
It's not quite that simple. Yeah, they're saving only a tiny bit of money on the parts that break, but when they designed the thing, they didn't know which parts were going to be especially cheap and be the ones that broke. They could have reduced this chance, but only by spending extra money on a *lot* of parts, which would have raised the price substantially, and which, statistically speaking, would be the reason that you would have bought something else instead.
Article informative? Check. Article accurate? Check. Article overall worth reading? Check. Then who cares whether the author got the idea from a web comic, divine providence, or his pet hamster?
It was my understanding that since the rejection of the Bohr model of the atom that we didn't think electrons "orbited" an atomic nucleus, that they were "smeared out" throughout their energy levels. What am I missing?
I too like the permanence of paper magazines, plus if I skip an issue, I don't have to worry about making backups or that it might disappear from somebody's web site. My favorite magazine focusing on IT issues is;login:, the magazine of the Usenix Association. I find it surprising and hard to explain why it's not more popular among IT professionals.
"Real casinos are not required to keep cash on hand for the full value of the chips they give players,"
It's a little bit complicated, but the short answer is that in almost all jurisdictions in the United States, casinos are absolutely required to keep enough cash on hand to match the value of their outstanding chips. So, with some minor caveats, in the most carefully regulated gambling jurisdictions, this is incorrect.
They do know this group isn't the only group of hackers out there? This payment only "applies" to the one group, right? There's nothing preventing any other hacker from attacking that network, and assuming the "protected from " hacking group actually knows about a vulnerability at the "protectee" site, there's nothing preventing them from selling that information to other hackers.
When a business pays "protection" money to a group of gangsters, at the very least they have some expectation that this particular gang will protect its territory and some other group won't come along and extort money from them as well. There's no expectation of this on the Internet.
You're going to be asked to pay this periodically. If you really want to be left alone, you'd have to pay off several groups. For this money, you can buy some expertise and protect yourself.
I'm thinking shoes in the data center are still a good idea. I'm also thinking that having something between your lower body and that hot laptop would also be a good idea. I'm also not excited about the ripping sound you'll hear after a long coding session in a leather chair. I've also got no interest in seeing the vast majority of my colleagues naked. I'm also wondering what they do for lunch. Does everyone bring one from home?
Betelgeuse is easily above the Chandrasekhar limit. The answer to your question depends on whether and at what energy the LHC is operating. Also, it seems to me that it's possible that there's a black hole closer to us that blew up so long ago that we can't detect the nebula the supernova that it created. However, it would be the closest known celestial black hole by about 1000 light years.
Congratulations to Comcast for doing something about this, but it's not enough. If they can detect the malware infected computer, they can quarantine it. ISPs have a RESPONSIBILITY to prevent computers that they KNOW are infected from messing up other computers on the Internet. OS vendors don't do enough to remove vulnerabilities in their products, end-users don't do enough to lock down their machines, and ISPs don't do enough to restrict the damage infected machines do. Step up!
Okay, liquid mirrors are cool but point straight up. Why not use a pair of flat mirrors to reflect the night sky into the spinning liquid mirror? Yeah, there would be some loss due to the imperfect reflectivity of the flat mirrors, but if liquid mirrors are so awesome, then just make them a little bigger to compensate.
Just because I don't lock my front door, it doesn't mean that your entering my house without permission suddenly isn't burglary. NASA's security may be crap, but that doesn't excuse the crime.

Stay classy, Theo!
Is the old fuckedcompany.com still running?
Short answer: No.
Many of the folks in Hong Kong are already familiar with aspects of the NSA's systems... .

Our labor rights are more sound, so we're less agitated
Imposter! If you were really Canadian you'd spell it "labour"! Go learn something about hockey.

... as to whether the trees in this study are just the right height?
... and no laughing! Not even if the movie is funny! I demand silence!

Delete it, but don't mark it as spam. Why? Because it's not actually spam.

"virtual currency purchased with real money for use in a gambling context" Isn't this the definition of an online casino chip? Maybe prior art?

Excuse me while I flip to the sports section and then call my bookie.
I've got the same combination on my luggage!
... see if it can decipher some of the perl code I've had to take over.

What I find interesting is that I actually learned more about how to use Wave from this one than from the Pulp Fiction demo.
