"Aristoff says, and if your goal is to set a speed record, "jumping rope at high altitude, where the air is less dense, could be advantageous."" What about the reduced levels of oxygen, would that not work against a person trying to set a speed record?
As disgruntled Android 2.2 user from a Nokia/BlackBerry/etc. background I say fix the core Android apps (calendar, notes, messaging, etc., etc.) as these SUCK big time as even the most basic versions of these are way better on non-smart-phones even! Now that's saying something about how poor they are! Get the basics right then start worrying about more apps. Quality before quantity.
"The BBC today characterized those who avoid GM foods as overly fussy, the very same day that the Wall Street Journal announced that picky eating may be recognized in the 2013 DSM as a psychiatric disorder."
How easy it is to label people as having a disorder nowadays. Never mind our human rights (we should be allowed to make our own choices of what we eat). Of course, how do they then treat these "psychiatric disorders" nowadays? Drugs and more drugs some of which makes you barely human. (Never mind that, in some countries, they may even put you on a CTO (Compulsory Treatment Order) taking away your human rights full stop.) The whole lot is interconnected by money and more money. It's big business in which you and I are indirectly the commodity. The more people they have eating their food and taking their drugs (and making them dependent on them) the more they make and the more people they can convince to follow the same path (why shouldn't you eat the same food and take the same drugs as your neighbour?). Is this what we want to buy into?
From http://blog.mozilla.com/faaborg/2010/06/24/why-tabs-are-on-top-in-firefox-4/...
"In the Firefox 4 nightly builds, and in Firefox 4 Beta 1, we are changing the default tab position so that tabs are on top. This is a preference that users can change by right clicking on any of their toolbars. Moving the default tab position is obviously a significant and to some extent controversial change to the Firefox UI, which is why we made the video above to help explain our rationale.
Contributors who are active in the Mozilla community will know that this debate literally goes back for years. So in some respects this video will serve as quick summary of all of the different arguments both for an against the change. But the more interesting part isn’t about looking back, it’s about looking forward. Recently modern browsers have been transitioning to placing tops on top, and that decision isn’t arbitrary, it isn’t about fashion. The change to placing tabs on top isn’t about one browser versus another browser, it’s about the evolution of the Web as a platform."
The question I have is WHY the NSA feel they need to publish this video in the first place? Why do they feel it necessary to make the public feel good about polygraphs? What are their ulterior plans, wholesale warrant-less polygraphs?
