philosophy.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="physical.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="appendixb.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="hates.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Physical Activity and Sports </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Things Hackers Detest and Avoid</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
