There was a vaccine on the market but was discontinued in 2002 by its manufacturer. I don't know reasons why.

Pfizer currently has a Lymes vaccine study that I have some personal knowledge on that should be wrapped up in 2025: https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-deta...

> About the VALOR trial VALOR is an ongoing randomized, observer-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial which has enrolled 9,437* participants 5 years of age and older to receive VLA15 or a saline placebo (1:1 ratio). As part of the primary series, participants receive three doses of VLA15 within the first year at months 0, 2 and 5-9, and one booster dose 9-12 months after completion of the primary immunization.5 The final primary series vaccination for participants occurs just before the peak Lyme disease season for the region. Participants will be followed for the occurrence of Lyme disease. The trial is conducted at sites located in areas where Lyme disease is highly endemic across the U.S., Canada and Europe and has enrolled volunteers with a cleared past infection with Borrelia burgdorferi as well as Borrelia burgdorferi naïve volunteers.

I, too, tried to load it up today and realized it looks no longer. A search for if it existed anymore brought me here. I would have thought it's retirement would have been larger news or maybe I'm just out of the loop.

I went through them for the first time last year, without ever having seen them. I think I'd be equally excited either way. Working, I didn't get to appreciate them from the other angle, I assume equally as neat.

Mariner here, I've been in a similar situation on the Great Lakes (US). Absolutely the first thing I thought of.

Sorry hacker, not today!

If only there were other ways of checking or sharing an electronic calendar! The future is now.

I was all, "Hey, someone starred my repo!" It was this.

... AllJoyn, anyone?

It appears like a shameless self-plug article about the developers app.

So...this is news?

From Jono Bacon at Canonical:

Regarding the Super Meat Boy issue, here is a response from David Pitkin who runs the Ubuntu Software Center at Canonical and works with developers:

"I just looked into it and the check to Tommy and Edmund from Canonical is in process for the 77 copies of Super Meat Boy. We have been working together since November to get it resolved, no piracy here just some miscommunication".

Internettrafficreport isn't the most reliable (normally there are lots of zeroes on their graphs), but it does indicate a large change in some numbers.

Another place to check for good information is http://www.outages.org/

There have been a few incidents as of the past few days. Last night, there was a nationwide outage from Frontier that has since been resolved.

The day prior there was a triple failure in the Midwest as reported http://vielmetti.typepad.com/vacuum/2012/10/windstream-outag... that affected lots of services in a large area.

There's always:

#!/usr/bin/env python

too

It looks good, here's what I see:

Okay, I lol'd. They got me!

No, see, I don't have a Facebook account. Therefore, I cannot log in.

No facebook account here. Do I win?

So, what's the point?

While I'm not saying it's a bad idea to have voice and video, something makes me think implementation and release was hurried after Google+ release (EDIT: I'm sure they've been planning for a while, but I think Google+ prompted Facebook to push this out the door. I am, however, only speculating.), and that there are things that should be taken care of.

> The idea is similar to the way google added voice calling to gchat.

Voice-and-video chatting for Google Talk (which came out in 2008, remember when I said catch-up?) and was similar in that you could contact your google-talk friends with voice and video, sure, which is what they're enabling users to do today (2011).

While their page (http://www.facebook.com/videocalling) has an image Facebook + Skype, I would assume I could use it to connect with my Skype people as well, but that isn't the case.

Expansion to potentially add this in the future would be a good marketing ploy, however.

D'aw, it's cute that Facebook is playing catch-up.

You can't share other information while you're chatting (watch a YouTube video together), it doesn't integrate with Skype contacts even though it uses Skype's services (read: network), and it's 1-to-1 calling (unlike Google+ Hangout), you can't turn off video and leave it only voice-only calling, you can't be selectively offline to people (you have to un-friend them).

If you need me, I'll be using Google+ Hangouts instead.

EDIT: We're sorry. Video calling isn't available on this browser. Please try again with a different browser.

Their nifty 'use these browsers' post include my browser (Chrome[ium]). Well done!

EDIT 2: Note that video calling for Linux is not currently supported. You will need to use one of these browsers in a Mac or Windows operating system. If you’re having trouble with video calling, try upgrading or switching your browser using the links above.

I use Ubuntu every day, both at home on my laptop, netbook, and at work for an IT consulting company.

I have family using Ubuntu (it makes support a hell of a lot easier), and yes, I'm one of those, "My grandma uses Ubuntu," guys.

I have a small, spattered list of some things:

At the office, I am familiar with our Microsoft Exchange 2007 settings. I am still unable to get Exchange support using Evolution outside of our work network. I forget what the exact (incorrect) version error was, haven't played with that since Maverick's release, but is holding me back from true Exchange support. I think Evolution needs a little love. I saw that some bugs were reported upstream, but it didn't seem like they were being taken care of.

Consistent Quit/Close/Applications-that-minimize-to-tray is something, from my understanding, that has to be taken care of per-application, but it would be nice to have it consistent with what minimized to where. Currently, on Unity, closing Skype sends it to the tray, which isn't visible in the indicators. I have to either remember to minimize it and not close it, or throw it on a different workspace.

Of course, Windicators are something I'm looking forward to.

Also, I don't know that a Terminal Server Client (currently TSClient, but I read somewhere Remmina was going to take over, wooo!) is completely necessary on a default install. For an everyday user, they might not need to connect to a Windows RDP or anything else via VNC. No, it's not a large package to have on a default install, but I'm not certain that it's required for mainstream, everyday use (You know, similar to reasoning behind Gimp).

Perhaps there's something of substance here that may help.

Thanks for the hard work, and I'm excited to see the next release, and I'll (as always) be sure to run the bleeding-edge and report bugs as necessary.
