  1. Privacy and portabillity on Online Ajax Pages The New Web Desktop? · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    How about a portable USB drive with Portable Firefox on?

    Add other portable apps and what else do you need? More storage space? How about a 20GB media player? Iriver works for me.

    S&M Linux? Sounds kinky. Does that have anything to do with BDSM or is that another operating system?

    But.... Bullying is what made me the man I am today

    I understand what you mean by that and I have a similar experience. Being bullied has made me a stronger person but it's not made me a better person. It damaged me in many small, subtle and lasting ways.

    Bullying is part of what made me what I am now. Just imagine what I could have been if I hadn't been bullied.

    Gbrowser is such a lame name. How about Opragle? or Gopera?
    Gopera is good - sounds like some messed up, mammoth, radioactivly enraged Janapese mega-monster. Just think of it.......

    Gopera goes up against Mozilla, downtown Tokyo is ruined as the browser wars begin in ernest.

  12. Re:People are introverts precisely for that reason on Introverts Have More Brain Activity? · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure that introversion/extroversion is a choice. What ever it's causes - nature/nurture - the upshot is that there are measurably different physiological, emotional and psychological levels of activation between the two.
    Thinking theres a choice in this seems as counter intuitive to me as thinking I have a choice as to weather I want to be a sprinter. Sure I can exercise, eat well, get coaching and end up being reletivley fast but my body type just wont go as fast as someone with a sprinters body. No one would employ as a sprinter. On the curve of sprinterlyness I just don't cut the mustard.
    I'm an introvert. That doesn't mean I can't turn it on, be gregarious and act out. But being introverted doesn't need to be turned on in me, it's something I am.
    Ah well, At least I can choose to do something about being a couch potatoe......no wait./

  13. Re:Essentialism is a lie. on Darwin Evolving Into A Tricky Exhibit · · Score: 1

    Men and women are different.Biology is the foundation of difference that difference, due to nuturing, is built on. There is a reason men and women don't tend to compete is sports together. Men tend to be bigger and stronger than women. Just that fact alone will have an impact on the differing psychology of each sex regardless of any society or enculturation. Likewise with primary and secondary sexual characteristics. Just the perception of the difference between man and woman will have an impact on their psyches There are parts of the brain that are different between men and women. Men and women are bathed in different hormones and hormone levels. There are behaviour differences that can be ascribed to these differences in biology. Now I don't want to be understood as saying that difference is biological. The point I am making is that difference is primarily underpinned by biology and any analysis of difference due to upbringing, society and culture that doesn't take this into account is deeply flawed.

    Firesomething

    It's not just about tabs and security you know. Firefox extends and enhances my productivity and gives me extra functionality, functionality that makes my co-workers all go "Ooooohhhhhh...that's so coool! Show me how to do that"
    In an increasingly technologically savvy and cynical workforce (our admin is incompetent and an asshole) I'm re-introducing a sense of wonderment in technology by showing my colleagues how to find out what the weather is doing right now without compromising the pile of shite that is our network.
    Back in the day, all this PC, IT, WWW stuff was new, exciting and compelling. There were problems but this was a new fronter and most of us seemed to want to make it a nice place to be.
    Things have moved on, grown up and become less romantic but for me and my colleagues firefox is reinvigorating the interest in computing and giving us all a little frisson of excitement. We can play without getting fucked.
    And if we can play without getting fucked that means that we can learn and grow.
    I'm sorry that my stance is so idealised and romanicised but the innovation and ideas that are coming out of the firefox team is to provide me and my friends and colleagues with a product that does not allow bad people to violate our growth and health.

    Apparently people often find ways to maintain those stress levels experienced in early life. If you are bought up on edge then you find ways to stay on edge, be it chemical or expirential.
