I had a CS professor die mid term. He was 50. http://wiki.yak.net/77 http://wiki.yak.net/77 He was out for a jog. Dennis Ritchie died at age 70. Heart problems & prostate. Steve Jobs. Age 56. Pancreatic cancer. Of course these are just a few. CS is a young field, but by now we should have enough statistics to begin to reveal how a (very) sedentary lifestyle affects lifespan.

Was your professor sedentary? He died jogging. Jobs dies from following quack pseusomedicine and ignoring the treatment he needed.

I don't think Steve Jobs is a good example for this discussion.
