Yes humans can detect infrared, but I would hardly call it a sixth sense. If the infrared level is strong enough, the skin gets heated up and the nerves feel the warmth.
And about the hand in front of the face, the heat transfer happens rahther through the molecules of the air than infrared, I suppose.
It was not intended to strip ones liberty of faith, but rather put everybody on the same level: no religion (quite) no differences. See it like the UK uniform tradition. Religion being an important matter, it aims not to bring possible 'tensions' at school.
Even though the law might put everybody on the same level, it is not necessarily just to all religions. How many Christians (and atheists for that matter) did have to change their appearance or habits for that law?
No matter what its original intentions are, the law will always be perceived as a burden mostly on the Islamic population.
Of course you can always switch to a new encryption scheme or larger key size. But that doesn't touch messages that you have encrypted in the past, with a weaker encryption.
Eventually, all those will be broken. (Another question is, at the time this is achieved, will the message content still be worth anything?)
If you follow the principle of always keeping your functions short (cf. Refactoring , Fowler, et al., 1999) then short variable names such as i and n are no problem, your code remains clear.
If your function is so long that you have to use long variable names, something is wrong with your coding style.
It is noteworthy that the Windows installer is now equipped with a digital signature (by the Mozilla Foundation, with a root cert by Thawte).
This might well have been done in response to a claim by a Microsoft manager that you don't know what you really get when you download Firefox (especially as there are so many mirrors).
