Every-other-day fasting seems to convert “bad” white fat to “good” brown fat, but nobody really knew why. This study found that fasting causes the bacteria in your gut to produce certain molecules that might be responsible.
I'm by no means a expert in this, but the gist of it is that not all fat tissue is created equal. "Brown fat" burns more calories and can help control weight and mitigate diet related health issues. Intermittent fasting (in this case eating every other day) increases the amount of brown fat deposits in the body. Exercise has been shown to do the same.
"Life after People" describes this exact scenario over 20 episodes.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_After_People:
Life After People is a television series on which scientists, structural engineers, and other experts speculate about what might become of Earth should humanity instantly disappear. The featured experts also talk about the impact of human absence on the environment and the vestiges of civilization thus left behind.
In mid 2013 I signed up 22 referred accounts in a VM box for a family member with a newly created Dropbox account.
Three months later all 22 inactive accounts were removed, and the extra storage was gone too.
I did it in 2011 as well for my own account and still have the extra storage. I've since upgraded though. Even 15GB is peanuts today...
You'd be surprise a large portion is done in javascript in firefox and many don't require deep browser knowledge like how the transport layer works or working with the DOM. Some are style issues, some are correcting RFC specs. I am fixing two extremely trivial minor CSP issues given I have read the spec and done CSP related things.
