In 2003 I started experiencing wrist pain when using mouse. As it became unbearable, this is what I did: - Went to see a doctor, without any results - Switched mouse from right to left hand. It took around 10 days to come to speed with left hand. - Right wrist continued to be painful as soon as I get a mouse with it. It took around 4 years to be able to take mouse with it without pain.

Recently I started to use mouse with right hand again and problem didn't reappear yet.

I am also more aware of the way how I handle the mouse - try not to use a ot of force when handling mouse. Switch to wireless mouse, for example.


When I tried switching the mouse to my left hand I just started getting pain in my left hand too! I found switching to a trackball mouse has helped a lot, as has using an ergonomic keyboard without a number pad on the right hand side. I use one of these at work: http://www.goldtouch.com/p-65-goldtouch-adjustable-keyboard-...


Is it simillar concept as JNode ( http://www.jnode.org )?


It actually borrowed some code from jnode. At least it grabbed a driver for the ext2 filesystem. I'm not sure what else.


"They were all white college grad males."

I think it is irrelevant here - everybody is free to start a startup, this is not a sign of any conspiracy or discrimination.


I don't think he was implying conspiracy or discrimination as much as noting a common thread.


It is somehow related - one can not achieve usable "high frequency" without low latency. So frequency = volume, latency = price accuracy in time.

Pozdrav!! :D


It is a trend in everything that surrounds us - cars, fridges, clothes, shoes, buildings - everything is made cheaper. Compare computer case from 1990 and now - modern economy class cases are ultra light. Reason is simple - market doesn't care about 8 or 10 or 12 bit displays, so they are not offered. Cost to the company to introduce them far overweights benefit of selling it to .01% of individuals who care. Or who think that they care.


You might offer a way for users to get backup of their images on some media. They might feel more secure knowing that they can get hard copy of their data by courier if they wish.


We do offer hard drive or DVD restores to be shipped.


It depends where are you from.


I am collecting calculators. I own HP-28S, HP-48G, TI-74 and TI-92. In the past I owned an Atari ST and I still remember some M68000 assembly. With me your calculator will never be forgotten - I use all of them periodically and keep fresh batteries in them.
