That's for lung cancer. You're missing asthma. You're missing all other diseases: people who don't die but lose a limb or get handcuffed to an oxygen bottle. In France, 5000 non-smokers die every year of various diseases

Some day we should deprecate browsing the web with HTML 1.0 tools, apart from web crawlers who know what they are doing. Sticking with that is akin to sticking to horses on the road: It has its advantages, but you can require everyone to bu

It's important to purchase your vested options as early as possible. So they can't take your options back. Of course it's easier if you are resident in a jurisdiction where you have to pay the Capital Gain Tax when you sell.

When I have two screens, I disalign them so that the mouse has a 10px corner on the top right of the left screen. If I go to the top with my mouse, then to the right, it will always be stuck in the corner so I can click Close.

It's great to see an article treating the subject seriously! It diverges from the usual explanation "Men are so stupid that they will stop peeing on the floor if you draw a fly in them". Nonobstant that we pee on the floor be
