This is AWESOME! It really makes you realize how precise these pilots have to be. One slight mistake could kill not only themselves but their teammates, not to mention all the civilians on the ground.

FYI – one of my dreams is to be a pilot
Have trouble paying attention? Can’t seem to hear the kids screaming in the background when “The Ice Man” is about to knock his newest opponent flat on his back with a right hook? Can’t hear anything but but the guys around the next corner on your WWII first-person shoot-em-up Playstation game?
Well, have I got news for you. According to a new study,
“a wandering mind may be important to setting goals, making discoveries, and living a balanced life.”
What a joke! Every category that they list is extremely subjective. They don’t even back-up any of their claims with survey results, user comments or even articles written by …anyone, even some highly paid blogger!
Security – “takes the cake”… What? Ever think of maybe having a security company actually analyze it and see what they find?
Ease of Use – Who says it’s “easiest to use”? Did A List Apart do a usability review on it?
Reliability – “Only Internet Explorer 8 has both tab isolation and crash recovery features; Firefox and Chrome have one or the other.” Does that give you any hints as to what your experience will be like? Notice they didn’t say that IE8 would crash less than Firefox or Chrome.
Customizability – is that even a word?
Compatability – “Internet Explorer 8 is more compatible with more sites on the Internet than any other browser.” That’s because the previous versions sucked so bad that developers were forced to write crappy code using non-standard elements which don’t work in browsers that have been abiding by the standards for years.
Those are just a few of the categories that jumped out at me. Feel free to comment on others that you feel may or may not have merit.

The “No S” diet.
No Snacks. No Sweets. No Seconds.*
*Except on days that start with S (Saturdays, Sundays, and Special days).
I’ll have to think about this one.
