Responsive Design View looks like it makes Firesizer unnecessary. Firebug's functionality is also largely in Firefox by default now, though it may not have all the features.

On what legal basis? They have the option of switching advertising providers...in theory.

Regardless of the specifics, it's a balancing act. Completely eliminating disparity in wealth despite differences in behavior would disincentivize personal responsibility and individual aspirations. Completely eliminating the redistributive effects of taxation. . .would result in a society fractured into the economic elite wielding power over the masses, wiping out democratic principles that the United States formed to exemplify. There's a reason for a constant tug of war between ends of the political spectrum, even if that is a simplification of economic vs. personal freedoms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_Chart

...filtered through the methods used to select candidates.

Ban something and the information contained therein suddenly becomes more attractive due to perceived scarcity. It's human nature.

It seems like you're assuming I have an agenda (making this a competition). I was just pointing out where it might not be so simple.

It isn't typical to outright say "X lied." There are probably many other phrases more useful in determining that sentiment.

Try running the beta for Firefox 15, or jump on the update when it comes. You're likely experiencing an extension leak. See here: http://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2012/07/19/firefox-15-plugs-the-add-on-leaks/

Neither can win while the other denies. Both sides have people blinded by biases--and arguments that do nothing but prolong an imagined war. The real enemy is a mutual lack of respect, yet it runs rampant through the country...and the world.

During the winter months (when the heating would be necessary), additional humidity is often beneficial. Air inside can get *dry* with the temperature difference's effect on relative humidity.

Air conditioner = Heat pump. Would that work in reverse as effectively? Hmmm...

Weight is related to inertia but otherwise doesn't change the efficiency much if you're moving on a highway, for example. Size->Volume->Surface Area->Air Resistance. The size of the car increasing will tend to reduce efficiency.

This is overlooking the convenience of throwing your mouse to the upper left for accessing the very same features quickly. As one of the 5 instant-access points of mouse interaction (the four corners and what's already under the cursor) there's little difference between that and having a hotkey. It's really not that bad. Once that view is up, other window targets are also generally larger.

Now, default alt-tab switching on the other hand...one of the many reasons for installing a ton of extensions, for sure.

It does have elements akin to that of tablets in that the activities pane (launcher) is a tiled icon display (like many mobile interfaces...and Windows 8), and there's a focus on having single-layer workspaces with no min/maximizing. Really, though, GNOME 3 has a lot of potential once you apply some of the tweaks mentioned in the article, and browse https://extensions.gnome.org/ for a bit.
