This is another, different bug than the one talked about in the first link. None of the other links specify whether this second bug is from the JIT or not.
This has entirely to do with the Firefox implementation of the document.write function, not javascript; it is likely that the flaw is actually in C++ code.
If you type 'javascript:document.write.toString()' into the url bar in Firefox, you will see 'function write() { [native code] }'.
I haven't stated it very clearly, but my big beef is with aiming in first person shooters (there is at least some context in my comments that supports this).
For other situations, as you say, other controls will provide better analogs to reality.
Whatever dude. I mean that a clear headed reader with no other context could easily read your comment and reasonably come to the conclusion that you were making an argument about George Washington Carver (your comment is entirely devoid of the context that you claimed in your first reply; you might have had that context, but you didn't provide it to your readers).
Anyway, if you think that you logically connected your initial comment to the parent comment, know that we disagree.
It depends a great deal on how big the swing is. Detroit Edison and Consumers power built a 1.8 gigawatt battery to make dealing with it cheaper, so perhaps it is fairly big:
Their websites utterly sucks, just do a search for 'pumped storage' if it doesn't come up; they appear to be redirecting incoming visitors. Wikipedia also has a page about it, with less hassle:
That guy's invention of the spark plug has nothing to do with whether George Washington Carver came up with peanut butter or not; it is entirely possible to read your comment without clicking on the link and come to the conclusion that you are arguing that GWC patented peanut butter after someone else had already invented it.
Unless you are draining the pipes around the water heater, you probably don't need to worry about it freezing during the winter (that is, it is going to need to be in an environment that doesn't allow freezing anyway).
A gas fired on demand heater will save huge amounts more energy anyway (my understanding is that insufficient supply is pretty much a thing of the past).
Go to jail. Go directly to jail (make sure you use something legally convincing to get there, like mass murder in a state that does not have the death penalty).
I'm not a huge gamer, but I have this terrible prejudice that a mouse provides excessive precision -- that is, the level of hand eye coordination required to use a thumb-stick style controller is a lot more comparable to the level of hand eye coordination required to actually shoot a gun.
(Of course, if the game is simulating operating a vehicle that has a screen in it, a mouse is fair game)
Sure. I guess there is still a small difference between not maintaining state and not being concerned about losing state once in a while (it might be more convenient to maintain the state for a week at a time than to lose it everyday or whatnot).
What are the vectors for these nasties that you are talking about?
I wonder because the only exploit I have ever watched try to run is some js launched pdfs, I was using a reader that was not vulnerable to the exploit, so nothing happened.
If you aren't worried about locally maintaining a bunch of state in each VM (say you are paranoid about cookies and use something like delicious for bookmarks), you only need to maintain one VM (call it 'white' or something, it is essentially blank), and then when you do updates, you create three copies.
So then the paranoid nonsense lets you keep your browsing behavior separate, without a huge amount of overhead, and the three separate VMs help with security between updates.
I've heard that voice acting is a nice club to be in (the producers and whatnot have a group of people that they work with, and it is good to be in that group, but hard to get in). You can draw your own conclusions about how much difficulty they have finding work:
(I arbitrarily did not select Katey Sagal there because she is well known as an actress; I'm sure the voice actors aren't getting $5,000 for each episode on those lists, but they don't seem to be having any trouble finding work over long periods of time)
I figure something like this is the sophisticated system the E-harmony uses. They take people that live close to each other and that have jumped through their hoops, and they make them meet. Some success seems inevitable.

Most of us are.
Yeah, the 60 comments that got in before you are rife with such groupthink.

Is it a little uncomfortable performing a vaginal or rectal exam when you know the 'patient' is a paid actor who volunteered to undergo the procedure?

A decent dishwater can end up using less energy than hand washing (hot water gobbles energy).

Unless the on demand heater is gas, in which case the energy savings will be significant.

Wha? You have described one of the big reasons that mice provide too much precision, which is what I was complaining about.
I guess I didn't word it very well.
Why the non sequitur about some other black inventor? Apparently, Carver only applied for 3 patents, so that line of thought is also a non sequitur:

Nice Job.

Then think your way out.

Yeah, guys with thousands to spend on online dating but no success picking up women otherwise will flock to the site.
By guys, I of course mean those 5 guys like that, nationwide.
Do note that it was really more of a gag to respond to Hayes quitting than it was a serious attempt at making dialog.
