It seems to me walking in place would probably be the least disruptive thing to do while coding
It seemed to me that walking would be very disruptive, especially for coding. Not sure about yours, but mine involves a LOT of typing. I haven't tried, but I imagine it to be very difficult. Does your coding job involve much less typing than mine, or you don't mind typing while walking?
I've seen 50 year olds who look like they are 75 year old. They have heavy diabetes, acute high blood pressure, stomach inflammations, failing kidneys, diabetic neuropathy, negligible peripheral vision, not much frontal vision either. They live on lots of medicines, and dosage needs to be adjusted carefully according to daily symptoms or body metrics. Sometimes hourly.
Don't think that living unhealthy would just turn off the switch of life after a certain number of healthy years. Unhealthy lifestyle drastically reduces healthy years of life. You are lucky if you die after the relatively healthy years are spent.
Obviously it is chance, no need to capitalize. What good is chance if it doesn't lead to any occurrence? Some individuals have to die or fail to reproduce, I didn't say all. Which means chance, without capital letters.
We are not even giving a low "chance" of reproduction to any notable set of people. Criminals? Nope, courts in my country support their reproduction. Erectile dysfunction? Nope, doctors support them.
I am not convinced. For evolution, the "unfit" individuals have to actually die (or at least fail to reproduce). A drastically lower number of offspring might have done if the "normal" number of offsprings hadn't shrunk to around zero or one.
From all aspects of "civilization", we are enabling all to survive and reproduce. Only the most violent of criminals are put to death before allowing them to reproduce further after being caught, but otherwise in some countries, human rights advocates have successfully argued that even convicted criminals in prison have "rights" to conjugal relations and to reproduce.
How do you propose this "evolution" to proceed? Rapid change in conditions only accelerates evolution if there are deaths / failures to reproduce.
I can agree we are somewhat selecting for idiocy (idiocy correlates with poverty which correlates with higher number of offspring). Also for ugliness (ugliness correlates with poorer spouse which brings one under poverty which correlates with higher number of offspring). But not much more than that, and not accelerated at all. The above correlations are not strong, need multiple connected steps, and have stark exceptions.
From what statement of the GP AC did you infer that? It seems to me to be a statement more concerning "is" than "being better than something else". True as well.
When rate of change of value of currency per unit time is very high, in either direction, it becomes inconvenient to trade in the currency. So another currency would become prevalent. Government would resist, if course.
While I don't completely agree with the general idea of GP, this particular point could be true.
The currency keeps getting more and more valuable until an alternate currency (gold / barter / another country's currency etc.) is prevalent. Now the original currency is not worth the paper it's printed on. Kind of a bubble burst.
Because 99.99% of users DO use start menu for it? Start menu has been orders of magnitude more discoverable than task bar pinning for most of windows' history including windows 8's start "screen". I get a feeling I'll need to repeat this at least 8 times for it to penetrate your thick skull.
I still haven't got an explanation why I had to point out about your windows+r lie 8 times.
It is not necessary to open the start screen for the same task to experience the doorway amnesia effect. It is most harmful in that context, but the effect is experienced all the same whenever start screen is opened. As I mentioned here.
So, thought of an excuse of lying about "Windows+R" yet?
False. You were harping on using task bar in spite of my suggesting that there is no search possible on task bar items. When suggestions didn't work and I outright asked you how task bar items can be searched, you lied. And kept at it for 9 consecutive posts, even adding to it by stupidly suggesting Windows+F.
When you pointed out my mistake, I corrected
False. When I pointed out , you started out commenting on the form of the post rather than content, saying don't use short cuts , all the while yourself using short cuts. I pointed it out here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. THEN you admitted.
Interestingly you latched
If you had corrected when I pointed it out, why did I have to latch on it? Because you admitted when I pointed 8 TIMES.
99.99% of the population will never experience the door amnesia issue
While you have no doubt conducted medical research in secret proving how doorway amnesia only affects 0.01 % of people, it is not admissible until a medical journal publishes it. Till then, my points stands, 100% of people are affected, 99.99 % will use default settings.
Wow, you are really hooked on that one, are you not? Sorry, I understood the question wrongly, I use Win+R to run apps all the time, but it is not for searching for apps in the Task Bar, something I seriously wonder why one would need. Is it difficult to find an icon among (apparently) a measly ten? Is my misunderstanding a huge issue for you? So big that you feel your world has been threatened? Why not try to continue a normal conversation without getting utterly hung up on a inconsequential misunderstanding?
Misunderstanding? Wow! As straight a question as can be, and you misunderstand! So you admit you are an enormous idiot, who doesn't read a simple question properly, later tries to cover the idiocy with another round of lies ("Windows+F"), attacks the form of the rebuttal rather than content by saying shortcuts are lazy when yourself using shortcuts like "Windows+R" etc., needs 10 reminders of your lies to make an admission. A deadly combination of idiocy , deceit and arrogance indeed.
Hey, here is a solution for you: Use desktops from Microsoft. Free
So you never realized my criticisms are about the out-of-box experience which 99.99% of people will use, and think of this as a solution , that too after multiple days of bickering? When start menu replacements are being discussed all through the thread? Is it a "Wear Your Idiocy On Your Sleeve Day" today, wherever you are from?
One who has a problem with start screen would just replace it with start menu with multiple free and even open source start menu replacements available. Just that you are so slow that you think of the wrong solution after so many days. You're a legend in Slashdot history of idiocy.
Here is the discussion : You suggested not using start "screen" since you understood the doorway amnesia effect.
Later, your ploy of lying about ability to search among task bar items using "Windows+R" didn't work, so you had to un-understand the doorway amnesia effect.
That is only if there is no force decelerating the object. Atmosphere is an enormous force against fast moving objects, so that assumption of no decelerating force doesn't apply for asteroids.
But idiot, your example doesn't apply to windows on the topic being discussed. Windows 7 : task bar as well as better start menu search. Windows 8 : task bar still present but because of problems I pointed out with start "screen" search, you had to suggest not using it. That means effectively only task bar option to launch applications. Which means removal of the start menu search feature from windows 8 compared to windows 7.
I not only showed an example where it is a problem, I also pointed to scientific literature to strengthen my point. On the other hand, you had to resort to blatant falsehoods like:
how do I search applications on the Task Bar?
Windows+R.
Yes, being on drugs, you might think you can get away with a silly analogy by pretending to be angry. But I know and you know you've put your foot in your mouth by posting clearly false information.

Yes, but Sony rooted their computers so they couldn't write reviews on the internet about how good the walkman was.
the productivity of the industrialized North (based mostly on immigrant labor) was far ahead of the productivity of the slave-owning South
RTFA. That was due to higher temperatures in the South.

Evolution is "used" ? Can you give an example where someone "uses" evolution (in the Darwinian context) ?
I have been under the impression that, if anything, evolution uses living things. No one has been able to use evolution.
I have utterly refuted your BS above

Sigh. The extent to which you will go to avoid addressing your lie about Windows+R searching among task bar items.
Can you show me a situation where the door amnesia problem is applicable
Whenever start screen is used.
and not solvable by using the Task Bar.
Whenever total number of applications exceeds 10.
I know for sure that you do not use hundreds of applications for the same task.
Irrelevant. No one is ready to change out all task bar pins after every task.
Now go on to show me how Windows+R is the answer to searching among task bar items, as in start menu search. I'll be here all week.
how do I search applications on the Task Bar? Do you think it is a scalable interface suitable for hundreds of applications?
Answered here : http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3449713&cid=42909471
Last when i mentioned this, you needed to lie about Windows+R being able to search among task bar items. Try the truth this time.

I find it disturbing that you consider editorial of a newspaper as a fictional statement.
That is only if there is no force decelerating the object. Atmosphere is an enormous force against fast moving objects, so that assumption of no decelerating force doesn't apply for asteroids.
Yup. Let's see you saying that it doesn't need servicing, after the device inhales dust for a year.
But idiot, your example doesn't apply to windows on the topic being discussed. Windows 7 : task bar as well as better start menu search. Windows 8 : task bar still present but because of problems I pointed out with start "screen" search, you had to suggest not using it.
