On the topic of anecdotal RSI cures, I was symptom-free after starting a strength training program focusing on heavy compound lifts and olympic lifts. No rest periods or ergonomic …

Well, it's certainly possible, but I'd like to point out one thing. IANAL, but I've been through enough to know that courts will often/always consider the aspect of compliance know…

So then he suddenly, after all this time, woke up and decided, "hey, you know all those hosts I shut down and mothballed? I'm going to fire them up NOW, spend some time restoring b…

Occam's razor, for once, actually supports the conspiracy theory. It's far more likely that Levison has been bullied into 72 hours of snooping to avoid contempt than that he's sudd…

Um. What possible jurisdiction can New York State have over a California company with no offices in New York? Probably best to tell this AG to go piss up a rope privately and dispe…

Aesthetics, right, ok. Anecdotally: I've been programming for over 20 years. I am a fast and accurate typist, but I never learned to touch-type and as a consequence, I need to see …

So you can see the keys under low light levels. Not everyone touch-types.

or else you'll soon get pain from the low travel. Huh? I am wracking my brain trying to figure out how, biomechanically, a short keystroke can cause pain.

Um, you should be regularly dismounting volumes every time you are done using them anyway. Your enemy can quite likely read out your passphrase from cryopreserved ram or its hibern…
