  1. Re:And... NO CONTRAST on Internet is Becoming Unreadable Because of a Trend Towards Lighter, Thinner Fonts (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think I may have found the problem,

    If you search for "best text editor for web development" they're all grey-on grey.

    Web "designers" are probably adjusting their monitor's contrast settings to make them usable. Result: Unusable web sites because making sites with any contrast hurts their eyes.

    OK, let's see:

    That was pretty fucking easy.

    If you want more examples then just type something like "best text editor" into google images and weep at the acres of grey-on-grey images that appear.

    Here, let me do it for you seeing as how you're a bit out of the loop: https://encrypted.google.com/s...

    Or use the "Read Easily" addon for Firefox - flip the bird at all those "designers".

    The "designers" won't be happy until the page appears to contain no information at all - 100% clean and clear.

    All major text editors have also moved to light grey on darker grey text.

    And lets not go into websites with white-on black for extra afterimage after you try to read them (eg. hackaday).

    "It was a fluid, dangerous situation and I didn't have time to be fumbling with a camera when my life was potentially at risk!"

    Not gonna happen. Police need to arrive at incidents.

    Plus there's no reason to think they won't have the camera on by default most of the time. Your assumption is that it will always be off and they need to turn it on when something bad happens. Who's to say it won't be the other way around - switched on by default?

    This rule sounds to me like they just want to give officers the illusion of control. Officers might find it's in their best interests to leave it on all the time, just so people believe them.

    Not 100% true.

    a) If a camera isn't activated during an incident then the officer puts his own word in doubt.

    b) Police need privacy too. They have to pee and stuff, just like other people.

    Fail.

    Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State.

    You're allowed to live anywhere within your own country. No segregation, no Apartheid. The black people can live among the white people (if they want to).

    Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.

    Which part of that allows "illegal aliens"?
