Building on avoiding torsion in the forearms I was experiencing some discomfort in my mouse wrist. I bought an Evoluent vertical mouse and experienced a substantial improvement. Buying a second one so I could have one at home and one at u

I got the email but didn't act on it. Mainly because if I was a 'slideshare rockstar' the additional bandwidth from downloading the mp3 for the slidecast would certainly have taken me over the bandwidth limit on that hosting account. I as

Although I have no sources I was under the impression that the more sophisticated viruses already did this. Not for altruistic reasons but because they want exclusive control of the resources available. I imagine it's similar to the bioche

Out of interest does anyone attempt to warn their users when they attempt to use a common/easily guessed password? At the moment all I do is insist on a minimum length but it doesn't seem as though it would be all that difficult to add chec

This comes across as totally meaningless. Even ignoring the fact that this corresponds to no real world use of ZF there is way too much detail here for it to be useful. For a comparison to other PHP applications see this post: http://blog

I've just found this forum post: http://blogama.org/node/87 The claim is 99.5% accuracy. Whether that is reproducible and whether it holds outside the US is unknown.

I'm all for competition in this space but I'm left with some questions. "How accurate is the data? Very accurate. The database is updated during the first week of each month." To me this is not acceptable. Firstly, I want numbers and not a

Any issues in the UK definitely fall under the umbrella of "but not due to the lack of freshwater sources." Building on that do you have any sources for problems in the UK. I can recall a couple of occasions, perhaps in the last decade or

I can see what you're getting at, although I find it deeply depressing, but that isn't how I read the article. The case of Jacob (Kobi) Alexander would also suggest it can be made to work.

I would expect the limiting factor to be bandwidth rather than computing resources. It is worth noting that there are also potential risks: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=526140

When first reading the title my first thought was, "Wow. A data center so hot that water will boil." I felt cheated when I realised it was only 100 degrees Fahrenheit and not 100 degrees Celsius. Having said that it still raises some in

With geotagging of photos increasingly popular, and to a lesser extent tools like photosynth, this seems a little pointless. Having said that I wouldn't rule it out completely.

The user interface isn't very clear. There is no labelled link as you get for satellite/map/terrain and even hovering over the little pegman doesn't bring up a tool tip letting you know what it does when streetview is available. You only

Did the later generations perform better? As far as I could see it was only Mr. Kleinworth Morgan Jr 5 which performed noticeably better. Run through a statistical test I doubt the results observed would deviate from random variation.

The NHS choices site gives a good write-up of this although they skim over a couple of points. http://www.nhs.uk/news/2009/03March/Pages/Studyfindscancersp... One concern I have is that the primary tumor is weakened by the low LOX express

How much detail do you go into? I can see the value of tracking progress and trying out different ways of improving your tech/sales support but there must be a point when you've taken things too far. For example do you track which page a u
