Bank whips out palm-recognition kit - and a severed hand won't work

Another simple solution.

Or simpler, damage cameras, knock somebody out or just manhandle them to the reader, and there you go. That is if the even simpler solution of threatening someone with pain or loss of limb that an earlier poster suggested doesn't work.

Explosion of DANGEROUS IT GEAR injures and CRIPPLES MEDICS

Facepalm

Speaking of horrible postures, pretty much every doctor I've been to lately has had a miraculously bad position in front of the computer, usually with the screen in one corner of the desk, and the keyboard in front of the screen, meaning that they usually have to turn sideways to be able to type and/or see their screens.

On top of that most have the height of the monitor and keyboard way of, and on top of that typing hunt and peck with high lifts of the hands.

And what really annoys me is that it would be easily solveable by using an L shaped desk, one side towards the visitor, and the computer on the other side of the L, and with some typing training.
