Anyone who is considering learning jQuery should also check out Vanilla JS.

Vanilla JS is a fast, lightweight, cross-platform framework for building incredible, powerful JavaScript applications.

Indeed, a significant portion of people with EHS are known to suffer from MCS as well. He brings that up in his talk.

The good news is that this points to it being likely that it is not EM radiation alone that would have triggered EHS in these individuals.

Because skin cancer is just a hoax perpetuated by the skin lotion industry.

That's not EHS. Those people are bothered by the low-frequency flicker of older types of fluorescent lights that use magnetic ballasts - especially older or low-quality lamps with or older or low-quality ballasts. The flicker can get as low as half of the power supply frequency, where it is just at the limit of being visible.
Modern lamps and CFLs use electronic ballasts that operate at a much higher frequency, and that is why they don't bother people.

The quote from the article says:

No serious scientific study has been able to establish that electrosensitivity exists ....

There are literally thousands of studies that have confirmed that electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) exists. The intra-cellular mechanism has been discovered independently by different research teams composed of credited scientists in the field at major well-regarded universities in different parts of the globe.

But of course, a study about something that does not exist can not be "serious", now can it?

Here are the search terms to google for: Voltage-Gated Calcium Canals (VGCC), NO-ONOO cycle.
There are a couple of very good videos about it on Youtube, by professor Martin Pall. I very much recommend them, especially how he debunks earlier studies that had claimed that electrosensitivity wouldn't exist.

BTW, 40 people are nothing. The associations for people with electrohypersensitive disorders have thousands of members that would love to move to a town like Green Bank.

Digital face construction from DNA is used to identify people for as simple a crime as throwing a used chewing gum on the street.

That's it? Really? The comment was not more specific than that? That's "defamation"??

Not that it really concerns me, but yes I checked out what view he has: he lives on the other side of a well-trafficked road from the front entrance of the school. He could see kids being dropped off and picked up by their parents. That's it.
It took me 20 seconds to check this on Google. If anyone else did what I did, then they would also see that the comment has no merit.

That is why many "gaming" keyboards offers a special "Window Lock" mode that does nothing but disabling the left Windows key ...

The specs are "leaked".

AMD has been hyping the card for weeks already.

It is easy to confuse TTP with TTIP ...

Both are being kept secret, available only to the ones doing the direct negotiation ... and are containing much of the same cruft favouring transnational corporations over nations and their citizens.

You could expect Germany to phase out lignite before they phase out coal. There is a wide-spread public resistance against it and it is likely that it will be taxed out of being profitable.
Many "blocks" (lignite-burning power plants) will reach end-of-life in the next one or two decades anyway so if power companies would want to continue burning lignite then they would have to invest heavily in new plants and that wouldn't be a good financial decision.

It doesn't look like it is far off.

Imagination Technologies showed a demo of Vulkan on PowerVR the same day as Vulkan was presented at GDC this year.
PowerVR GPUs have been powering all of Apple's iOS devices.

I am sure that AMD would use the same core for Mantle, DirectX 12 and Vulkan. They are phasing out development on Mantle in favour of Vulkan.

Anybody else think that Apple should ditch Metal in favour of Vulkan? If they want the latest games ported to Mac then they should use an open API that is used on other platforms.

But I am starting to think that maybe ports is not Apple's game... Maybe they want there to be almost only Apple-specific titles on Mac so that people wouldn't compare performance on Mac to that on PC or consoles. Now that they are known mostly for laptops and their desktop machines are also having laptop-grade internals then they are not going to be able to compete on graphics performance anyway.

The "green revolution" depended on cheap fuel and artificial fertilizer. We have already run into peak oil and are soon running into peak phosphorous.
If you also factor in climate change into the equation, you will see that we will have to drastically change how and where food is going to be produced in the future.

Sure we have plenty of food now but that is not the issue.

Mandrake was the only distro that I bought [i]boxed[/i].. but I never used it enough to remember what was so special about it. One thing stands out in my memory though: a post in the Slashdot comments to the name change from Mandrake to Mandriva.

Mandriva - Womenshouta!
