Ok, yeah you're right, it scales flash that is embedded within an HTML site, but it doesn't even do that consistently, nor does it work on pages that are entirely flash. Checking all of them, it actually only works for the last example, and the HBO site scales everything but the text. Anyway flash sucks, Canvas, Vorbis and VP8 for the win:).
I don't have good eyesight and I regularily make use of my Ctrl+ and Ctrl- keyboard shortcuts to read text. That is obviously imopssible on flash sites.
Odd, this works for me with Google Chrome, what OS and browser are you using?
I think apprehensions about psychologists, or more broadly social sciences are probably justified, social science is the least 'hard' of all sciences, yet it is what informs social policy. Any criticism of this policy is labelled anti-scientific, even if the original science is completely subjective.
Basically social scientists are almost always unable to attain a cause and effect relationship, but you wouldn't know it watching the media and pop-psychologists bring about the latest spell of moral panic.
No occurrence of the word poison in either of those pages, just an indication that greenhouse emissions are a danger to public health, and *NEWSFLASH* it appears they are, if indirectly.
The only real solution as I see it, is to tax the fuel as it leaves the mine or well, or as it enters the country.
If majority of income tax was transferred to resource taxes we could transfer the tax burden from discouraging business to discouraging waste. There's no need to increase the tax burden, we just need to radically shift it. Some of the alternative methods of power generation (solar and wind) are quite reasonably priced now, and some have been so for years (nuclear), it's just a matter of tipping the scales.
Obviously transport is still a problem, but I think that alternatives for that sector are just around the corner too, but for now it might just mean driving as efficient a car as you can, travelling infrequently if possible, buying local produce, and utilizing public transport where available.
Don't give me that impoverishing the proletariat bullshit, since when did a 4L car become a basic essential?
Cap and Trade is order of magnitudes above restrict S02. It will make EVERYTHING more expensive. Alternatives? Like I'm going to drop $30k on a Pirus instead of just paying a few thousand more a year for gas.
No, but you might sell the hummer and by a motorbike, or your neighbour might think twice about dropping his 30k on a new mustang.
Labout and Lib Dems do actually have more in common.
Im not sure about this, the "old' labour sure, but ultimately there's fuck all to choose from between labour and the conservatives currently, they would be most successful if they just choose whoever was willing to concede the most policy to them.
They should have some sort of policy auction, whereby they list their most critical policy points, and the party who accepts the greatest number of them gains control.
Exactly, but what if you don't support the "troops"? What if you pity them for not using their critical thinking skills? What if your ashamed of their presence in the middle east? What if you consider them to be an expensive burden on the state? You might have any kind of interpretation of the value of the "troops", and should in turn speak your mind freely, not feel bound to spit out other peoples words. There is nothing more cowardly than people who feign offence just to stifle debate.
Or would you prefer that the borders just be ignored altogether? Be honest.
^This. I quite like the setup the EU's got going on, and as a New Zealander I am free to live and work in Australia (and vice-versa), and I don't see any problems with going global with this kind of setup, after all what gives you the right to live on a particular chunk of dirt. Birthright? that sounds awful tenuous to me.
You should try to milk the "highly profitable" customers further, not give them discounts. Not sending the bar-codes to the bar-code users only makes them no-shows in the future Also you should post a different bar-code to each customer address, so you can track them individually, that means the PITA customers can be told "I know where you live..."
Actually we do, Native American Spirit, but tobacco smoke is inherently harmful, even with no additives. These e-cigs don't all contain this "crap" organic material that comes with the plant, they just have the good stuff, the nicotine.
morons who were arguing it was better to let companies 'regulate themselves' ?
As long as there is no price fixing, and there is competition, then they do tend to regulate each other. However if the first two aren't met, then I'm with you.
And yet, every time I try and get a quote on mounting a few panels on my roof, the cost is $25,000 and it will take me 30 years to break-even on the electricity.
It's probably easier to fix this by making electricity more expensive, than by making solar panels cheaper. Just shave off some income tax, and put it on your electricity bill instead.
. It's rare that you see an atheist try to open up people with how much better their lives are with atheism without having to in some way degrade or insult theist thought.
But that's the point isn't it, atheism isn't concerned with improving anyones life, it's just concerned with what it's adherents consider bald fact (strong atheists), or lack of evidence existence of god(s) (weak).
It's not nice, not self-affirming, and certainly not heartwarming, that's what "humanism" was invented for.
Yes, see cinepaint, designed so some poor bastard can sit for hours meticulously painting high bit depth film scans, frame by frame, just because the blue screen guy was slacking off.
Oh I see. Government financial mismanagement, corruption and ineptitude is actually the CITIZEN's fault
Wait, so, first off, you believe a multinational corporation is a "CITIZEN", and you also believe that funding fire, police and education services are government ineptitude. riiight.
No, they need to be setting up a hostile environ for unproductive, rent-seeking monopolists like Microsoft. If they decide they have enough money left over in the budget, all of it should be spent on venture capital.

But even still, could it be that people who don't need caffeine, are more alert than those who do?

You might find Ward Churchill's "Pacifism as Pathology" interesting reading.
Why do you believe that you have an inherent right to make up a number to determine his "damages"?
Why do you believe that you have an inherent right to "make up" a sentence for me torching your house?
You couldn't possibly believe the number is zero? begins soaking rags in petrol...
Sure, a carbon tax may be arbitrary, but the number is certainly non-zero.

It seems to me that you would have the law violated just to get what you want.
Most would, but give him some credit, he would have the law violated for what he thinks is right.
Fair enough then, I agree, BTW my spell checker is on Australian English, so no [sic] is nessary :).

Exactly, and you can probably buy a [insert a regional colloquialism for a small quantity of cannabis here] for the price of this app, so why pretend?
I want to be able to watch in a direction, run in another and shoot in another one.
Never before has the string "your doing it wrong" been more apt.
