Nah, that's only when they charge you $10 for a bucket of popcorn and 2 16 oz cups of fizzy sugar water.

Planter Faciitis is a common overuse injury lots of runners get as well. Anytime you are using/overusing muscles in a way your body is unaccustomed to it can cause problems. Still, problems caused by exercise, usually have simple solutions, like easing up a little or adding a different exercise to compensate. Overall your risks of health problems are far greater from lack of exercise than from an overuse injury.

I say if you are interested in a standing desk, try it out, but have a backup sitting station as your body gets accustomed to it's newly used muscles.

As someone with a very basic understanding of plugins (we have a custom toolbar we roll out with internal apps and links) I can tell you it is an issue. As an add-on developer you have to build into the toolbar "this add-on is good for FF versions x through y" that is in an xml file required for the toolbar to run. So you as a developer have 2 options you can say that your toolbar will work with version 1 through 999999 and just hope that a firefox update really doesn't ever break your add-on OR you can update it with every release ensuring that it works with the new version and require your users / (admins in corp environment) to update the add-on every time. Both of the above options have there drawbacks.

My major issue with the firefox team is that they changed the rules in the middle of the game. It used to be that if I put this add-on will work with this new version it would be good for about a year. Now I need to add in 6 weeks per version so if i want it to be good for a year I divide 52 weeks by 6 week major upgrade cycle and add 8.6~9 to the version number for it to work for about a year. All of this is assuming Mozilla doesn't change there major release version system again. If they decide to go back to the old way then my add-on will last for 9 years and will almost certainly be broken by a release at some point along the way.

As someone who used to "sneak in" when I was out past curfew. I can tell you it is possible to turn off a car and coast into your driveway while making a turn without power steering and power brakes. It is much more difficult, but doable if you know to expect it. The part about some steering wheels locking up is true, but if you leave the key in the accessory position it should still work. In any event as a driver I much prefer manual (more fun and safer in this case). Save the Manuals!

Wow what a pain that would be to administer such a landlocked system. Patching, backups, updating the content, accessing the content. What do they do when they want to access the file to mix it, or to distribute, publish the new song. What do they do when they get a new artist signed and it's time to add a song to the collection. Send in Joe the Admin with his thumbdrive to download or upload the needed song. I agree with you that there security is beyond poor, but land-locking the entire system as a solution to me doesn't seem like the best course of action.

That's interesting that you assumed the the GP was being serious and I assumed he was making a joke or at least a clever funny troll.

Exactly, In fact if he really was a spy he would be far more likely to withstand torture and interrogation.

My wife uses Groupon all the time and so by extension I use Groupons. I hate them for precisely the GPs reason. Retailers ask if you are using a Groupon. If you say yes you almost always get substandard treatment/products. The companies who use Groupon overextend themselves and then hire temps or decrease quality to cover for their mistake. It's bad for businesses and bad for customers. The only one it's good for is Groupon.

You are correct. Big movies cost more than big games by a factor of at least 2.

God of War III cost $44 million BEFORE marketing costs. According to cnbc lots of games fall in that range for cost.

Movies production costs easily reach over 100 million.

Not sure if you are trolling but, No, LEDs are not capable of receiving data or acting as inputs. In the summary they used the example of streaming video where of course the monitor doesn't need to send and data back. The summary said they use a simple photo diode to receive. Light Emitting Diodes and Photo Diodes are 2 separate distinct things.

I agree with AC how about something like first letter last letter of the domain

facebook becomes --> fd0nT+A2eM3bR0!k
or if you really want to get fancy
*f*aceboo*k*.co*m* becomes --> kd0nT+A2eM3bR0!fm

then you know how to generate your passwords but if the bad guy that gets one pw is still in the dark about your system.
Now if he gets 2 different passwords you are likely exposed.
