I has been shown [1] that the risk of being affected by narcolepsy among children vaccinated with Pandremix is 4.19 times higher than the risk among children that were not vaccinated with that particular vaccine. This in Sweden, related to the H1N1 mass vaccinations.

69 verified diagnoses of narcolepsy were found among vaccinated children. It has not been proven that all cases of narcolepsy were directly caused by the vaccine.

Your claim that this Finnish woman's assertion that the Swedish gov't in cahoots with the US gov't wanted to "get rid of young people" is somehow not "balooney" is patently ridiculous based on the simple facts.

I looked at one datasheet [0] for the 7-series chipsets and it didn't mention Dual Link DVI at all (although DVI was obviously mentioned). It did say "DisplayPort/HDMI/DVI 2560x1600 at 60Hz" in one of the tables, but your guess is as good as mine if that implies support for Dual Link DVI or not.

Edit: added link to referenced datasheet. See chapter 5.28.

The ultimate goal in a competition is to solve the problem within a fixed amount of time. This requires you to actually implement the solution to be able to run it. If you are able to do that more easily with a language that is inferior in execution speed, that will probably be the best strategy. At least compared to using a really fast language that you are not as comfortable with.

That wasn't the context in which I was writing my original reply, however. I was responding to a post that mentioned "magic" as a reason to disregard Ruby for competitions, which I didn't agree with. (The Ruby solution in the submission was slow even using a while loop, which is far from magic.)

If you're able to solve problems in the same amount of time using a fast and a not so fast language, of course you pick the faster one in a competition. I'm not arguing against that.

Execution speed is nice, I don't disagree. But it's not always the be-all and end-all deciding factor for what tool to use to solve a problem in a specific context.

Competitions can be stressful, and choosing a tool that feels like an extension of yourself (be that Ruby, COBOL or whatever) is, to me, the better route. Compared to something that executes faster on your computer but not in your head.

I fail to see how "magic" properties of a language matter if you've got reasonable algorithmic chops and focus on solving the problems rather than trying to be clever.

To always load all tabs after (re)start, go to Preferences > Tabs and uncheck "Don't load tabs until selected". ("Preferences" may be called Options or something on Windows or Linux, I can't recall right now.)

I would argue this is a sane default setting (it trades some waiting time when switching to a different tab for snappier start-up). Regardless, Firefox gives you the option to choose your behavior, which I would argue is the non-lazy thing to do (however simple).

† Note I am on Nightly, so it's possible this preference is not yet visible in the release version. It probably is, but just to be clear.

First you need to send an application [1] to the Swedish transport agency (Transportstyrelsen) and have it approved at least 30 days before the release of the balloon (the application alone will set you back about $200 US).

There are a bunch of regulations for the aircraft as well [2], radar visibility related for example. And for the time of the release; at most 2/8ths of the sky can be covered by clouds, visibility must be at least 8km. It's illegal if these conditions aren't met.

If you have a camera on board, you will have to get all footage vetted by the military to make sure you haven't photographed any secret installations or similar. As best I could find out, you send them the complete raw footage of everything and they give you back whatever's cleared by them. (I didn't ask official questions regarding this, so it may be I misinterpreted the information I did find.)

One example of this is mozregressionfinder [1] that was created by Heather Arthur [2]. The tool automatically downloads Firefox nightly builds (in the same binary search pattern of bisect) and lets the user check for the bug they observed in each version. Once the nightly build where the bug was introduced is found, a Mercurial pushlog URL is displayed which can then be pasted into a bug report to aid developers in chasing down the bug.

That PDF has a schematic of the containment building on page 4. The "MARK-I" image corresponds to the Fukushima I-1 building.
