I'd concur with that. Personal annecdotal evidence from working at a job that have bendy chairs often leaves me with a crick in my neck. If you sit like the far right picture you're going to get a forward leaning neck in any case. Further

Man cannot live by salads alone. But from a diet point of view, a lot of people aren't eating enough fruit and veg. Salads > junk food.

I disagree, great designers innovate. You build on the shoulders of those who came before, but if you're not doing something new and innovative, it's not great. The biggest example I have is Apple.

I think the author does a good job of picking out what has caused Japan to fall behind - not moving away from manufacturing, but didn't pick out the why so much. Yes the DJP is stupidly risk averse despite coming into office on the message

I'm sure that people like Martin Luther King Jr and others who have made a difference would beg to differ. Your life doesn't have to be pointless.

Except of course that the content is fair use and the company has no right to issue a take down.

I agree with you that Hitler is fair game for mockery. However, I think part of the equation for the film distributors is that they may think it distracts from the gravity of the scene and of the movie as a whole. The particular scene is w

I would take a guess and suggest that part of the reason Constantin Film issued a take-down is that they think it's making light of Hitler - many Germans I know are very strongly anti-nazi (e.g. a friend of mine who at a Tokyo punk gig wou

Neal Stephenson's article about computers (In the Beginning was the Command Line) likens (iirc) Macs to BMWs and Linux to a build your own tank. Sure it might be cheaper and a hell of a lot of fun to make your own car, but it's not for eve

What I "love" about the iPhone weather app is that it tells you the weather for Tuesday (yesterday) when today is Wednesday. (I live in Tokyo but I guess this would be the same for Australia as well)

I think the only way that computer software is going to get radically more secure is if software creators can be sued for negligence if they create secure software. This would mean a fairly big change in the process by which software is cre

There are (apparently cludgy) ways of moving your informationi about, but the impression I've had from this and other sites is that the iPad is more of a read/watch platform than a text-input one. Unless you attach an external keyboard, the

Indeed. It's one thing to have backups and a backup system, but you need enough contingency planning forethought to test that your backups work on a regular basis - ideally by restoring to a secondary site in the case of catastrophic failu

I've had a friend with an iPhone how to cancel sending an email - she's inadvertently hit the send button presumably several times when composing an email there. Having a "sending in 10 seconds" option may well be useful in her case. In my

Another comment: when playing through For Elise, it plows right through the 1 and 2 endings for each section when it should play the 1 ending before doubling back and playing through again before playing the 2 ending.

Currently 6 months into learning the piano again, downloaded the app to give it a whirl. Very first impression, but the Continuous scrolling seems to be a little jerky in places. Edit: it's synching up with the notes as they scroll by which

That was what I was thinking - except stuff Stephenson writes about in Snow Crash that seems similar to what happens here is after some kind of societal meltdown.

Of course, you should never drive holding someone in your lap (like a child). You will not be strong enough to hold on to them should you have an accident.

Wasn't the insidious thing about Hitler that people actually loved him out of ignorance? My impression is that there was far more surveillance of citizens in Communist East Germany than Nazi Germany. If you can get people to actually love

That and while a large number of us drive, very few of us fly the plane - we have to entrust that duty to another person. That person may be very well trained, but is normally not someone you know. Flying is also fairly unnatural for human

There's a 100 kilometre or so stretch of road on the Nullarbor plain (null arbor - no trees) that's completely straight. There's also a solitary tree along that long straight stretch, and it's been crashed into a large number of times. htt

No idea if no-data-wire USB cables are actually sold or do you have to roll your own? Mind you, I find the point that there should be software for managing a battery recharger incredible.

Despite doing a lot of computer programming, after finishing university I knew little about how the modern PC went together. It was only after building together a few PCs (at work) that I understood just how easy it was.

The vast majority of paper bills I get handed here in Japan have clean folds down the middle and often at the 1/4 mark as well. I guess it might have to do with how some people just carry around a fold of bills rather than carry them in a
