I sat for 18 years. Now I have a treadmill desk at work. It's done wonders for my legs and posture. I'm not sore and hunched over.

But which company would actually build such a device?

Amazon is a possibility if they don't want to have all of their eggs in the Android basket. They've proven they can manage manufacturing, and no one does distribution better.

And case NIGHTMARE GREEN.

My wife and I actually run two websites, one for local artists, artisans and crafters and another for local service businesses, so people in our county can gift shop locally online.

To support your argument that Hip Hop follows a long tradtion:

LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!
Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes,
from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore,
awing the earls. Since erst he lay
friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him:
for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve,
till before him the folk, both far and near,
who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate,
gave him gifts: a good king he!

Beowulf (Prologue)

or

Yo! I know you heard of the Scyldings already
When battle went down, the kings were deadly, swords steady
Each one did whatever he said he
Would do, and to grab onto more glory was ready.
Scyld started their line, looked mighty fine
Just a baby found a-bobbin' in a boat
Grew great so kings gave him silver and gold

The Beowulf Rap

Loved the original, and this version is fun. The lights on the monome were a show all by themselves.

No discussion of creating simulated universes is complete without a reference to Forth. After all, what's the very first language you bootstrap on a new architecture so you can get right to work?

And ColorForth changed my thinking about code in ways I can't begin to list. Interestingly, Chuck Moore lives a few minutes from me.

Even better.

A better name would be Carpe PAC.

Glad to see it back. I loved having DSL on a USB. I've been using Arch for that lately, but I have trouble remembering how to get it setup after long periods without using it. Hopefully this will also work on my old EEE PC netbook. I'm using Arch and E there too, but never did get around to making it autosense wifi and that sort of thing. As I recall DSL did that very well out of the box.

That makes it at least somewhat interesting.

I haven't received my Nexus 7 yet, but it surprises me that it's poorly packaged. My original ASUS eee had a box so nice (a very Apple-like white box with lid inside a slide-off sleeve) I mounted it on the wall and turned it into a cabinet.

One other player that the summary didn't mention is Amazon. Their packaging for Kindle is awesome.

For me the packaging says something about the thought that went into the product from the very top down. Sushi wouldn't be nearly as much fun if it were just slopped on a plate with an ice cream scoop.

"Can a horse drive a car?" Still a fun chatbot though.
Also failed on, "Could you restate my last question in your own words?"

Those are going to continue to be tough for a chatbot for awhile longer, world knowledge and conversation context.

I take your question to mean that you want to program but aren't allowed to add anything to your work machine, including binary files that don't require an installer to run. That's typically how I've seen that sort of rule interpreted.

You mentioned an interest in HTML/CSS and presumably javascript.

You might enjoy JSFiddle

If you would like to try other languages or other approaches, there are online IDEs for that too:

Another option would be to look at some of the free shell account vendors online, but you seemed mostly interested in GUI IDEs so that might not be your thing.

They can have my linked-in hash. Based on a similar pattern is should take 11945132084526 centuries to crack according to passfault.

I bought a treadmill that was designed to handle running slowly all day long and which has a low profile to slide under my engineering workstation.

I run it at about 1.5 mph all day long and it's very easy to type at that speed after a few days of acclimation.
I imagine a job with quite a bit of mouse work would be a little more difficult, but my trackpad/wrist rest works fine.

It's much easier on my body walking all day as opposed to sitting or standing. The first week I wore my usual hiking boots and was in alot of pain, but switching to good running shoes that fit made all the difference.

My whole setup is:
An Anthro cart.
A Treaddesk treadmill.
A unicomp M4 keyboard.
An IOne Libra 35-T wristpad trackpad.
And Asics GT-2170 shoes.

Works great for me.
