Comments on: People Still Dream In Other Places https://whynow.dumka.us/2012/06/05/people-still-dream-in-other-places/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Sat, 09 Jun 2012 01:37:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2012/06/05/people-still-dream-in-other-places/comment-page-1/#comment-59696 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 01:37:12 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=25572#comment-59696 In reply to Steve Bates.

People are now using the techniques that were once limited to ads for elements of their own pages as part of the push for features on a web site. I understand the concept, but the execution generally falls into the mess that was printed material when people discovered fonts. Lots of people can understand the process, but few have the talent or ‘taste’ to use them effectively.

For a couple of years, AB+ caused me no trouble anywhere; now it causes trouble many places. I’ve grown too comfortable with the lack of constant flicker just out of my visual focus, but I may have to give it up.

The only ‘ads’ on the site are sponsor links at the top, so it must be the way the embeds for the videos are done.

The cockpit view is only available when they are actually flying, so they have a lot of the background stuff for the effort up now.

This is a great plane for just watching the world go by, because the average speed for the latest flight was about 60 KPH, city traffic speeds, but you don’t have to stop for gas. Much of the flight is spent 8 km [5 miles] up, so you are on oxygen. The plane is design to fly at those altitudes, so you have to ‘fly it down’ to land, like any powered glider.

I’m not having a problem, but then I deal with ads by ignoring them.

I don’t know whether to disable it for the solarimpulse site or not. Do they have lots of ads?

I’ll try again later tonight.
