I'll willingly admit that "protective effect" is my own arbitrary layman's wording. The actual research articles I have read, however, do go so far as to theorise (and some, offer brain scans to back up) the fact that mental activity keeps the brain flexible, less dependant on a small set of networks, allowing damage to be routed around. Like the internet used to be. This is testable both in showing that the damage is not reduced in autopsies, and in examining patterns of activity in the elderly. As for finding the articles... Sorry, this is slashdot, I'll concede your point before going to the trouble of digging through pubmed and a ton of science magazines.
While I'm normally a big fan of pointing out correlation != causation, especially in psych studies, there are a few issues here. One, you haven't actually read the study, so you have no idea what variables they controlled for, the length of the study, what data they collected, etc.
Two, there is an extensive set of similar studies showing that mental activity of any kind has a protective effect. So they are on stronger ground as a result.
I imagine the commenter was noting that the sink effect decreases. It is well known they are still a sink. Heck. One issue is that as more CO2 dissolves in oceans, ocean creatures that depend on calcium carbonate for shells and other structures weaken.
Also, is worth noting the sink effect due to photosynthetic life in the ocean was recently shown to be overestimated, in the pacific alone, by over 2 billion tons.
I couldn't even be remotely called an Apple fanboy. I don't own any of their products or heck, have a phone that was made in the last 5 years. But to suggest that knowing those two facts are all that would be needed to create a knockoff to steal Apple's thunder is absurd. It's like saying that had Microsoft known Apple was going to create a music player they could have made a better iPod ahead of time, instead of an iPod clone a few years later.
duh. Same is true of any javascript method. Still requires writing code twice. When possible, is easiest to just, oh, pick a supported subset. That way you don't have to lug around a set of compatibility wrappers all the time that people have to reference to read your code, or use branches for the simple stuff, which is annoying to read.
You're right. I had thought it was. My apologies. One could say, I suppose, that what it does is a tad clearer, and perhaps even more flexible (create one fragment, insert many times). But it is indeed not standard. Thanks for the heads up. Opera of course, supports it, but they are good like that.
... um. Why are you answering me? Isn't my sample case. I was suggesting cross-browser methods. Oh. And using innerText requires annoying browser detection.
Instead of text content, you could fetch the text child node. I'm pretty sure that works in IE6 and 7. And innerHTML is non-standard. I'm not sure about textContent.

Frig. That'll teach me to fire things off in a hurry.
var n = document.getElementById("foo");
var r = document.createRange();

Hm. Seems textContent is old and in w3 DOM spec?1 0913/ecma-script-binding.html

And it *is* true that recursively fetching text data is a bit of a hassle. Not a huge one though.
Instead of text content, you could fetch the text child node. I'm pretty sure that works in IE6 and 7.
And innerHTML is non-standard.
I'm not sure about textContent.
Umm. Bit different from being bitched at for not fixing all problems, and being bitched at for inadequately fixing problems caused by you.

Couldn't find a bug on it, but using mod_deflate would probably help too, and the deflate work could be pushed on to intermediate servers.
