This is all well and good but chrome doesn't have a problem with "sluggishness" relative to internet explorer. C'mon google, where are the useful tools?

Excellent article. Working next to AT&T Park has given me a lot to think about in terms of "competitive advantages" (with Barry Bonds hitting home-run after home-run while being accused of using steroids). There are a couple sections of this article that really stand out: Commence the comical nightmare of being told that we now possess an "unfair advantage" in wearing prosthetic limbs to run. The scores of amputee sprinters who had competed with the limbs for the previous 13 years—and were still comfortably categorized as "disabled"—were virtually ignored. What is fascinating is the immediate shift in society's regard of a disabled athlete as an "inspiration" (cue the patronizing "awwwww") to a legitimate threat to other athletes ("Uh, what the hell do we do now?"). In an ironic, amazing cultural flip, you will see runners in the Paralympics going faster than those in the Olympics. Now won't that be an interesting comment on "dis"ability?
