Scale Invariant Feature Matching with Wide Angle Images
Hansen, Peter I., Corke, Peter, Boles, Wageeh, & Daniilidis, Kostas (2007) Scale Invariant Feature Matching with Wide Angle Images. In IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 29 October - 2 November, San Diego, USA.
|PDF (551kB)
Numerous scale-invariant feature matching algorithms using scale-space analysis have been proposed for use with perspective cameras, where scale-space is defined as convolution with a Gaussian. The contribution of this work is a method suitable for use with wide angle cameras. Given an input image, we map it to the unit sphere and obtain scale-space images by convolution with the solution of the spherical diffusion equation on the sphere which we implement in the spherical Fourier domain. Using such an approach, the scale-space response of a point in space is independent of its position on the image plane for a camera subject to pure rotation. Scale-invariant features are then found as local extrema in scale-space. Given this set of scale-invariant features, we then generate feature descriptors by considering a circular support region defined on the sphere whose size is selected relative to the feature scale. We compare our method to a naive implementation of SIFT where the image is treated as perspective, where our results show an improvement in matching performance.

De-Clutter Now: 8 Things You Can Live Without
If you've been reading my posts the last few days- you may have noticed that this is my 2nd entry about getting-rid-of-the-clutter" this week. (37 Things In Your Home To Get Rid Of Right Now) was posted Tuesday, in case you missed it.
I can't help myself. Cabin fever has set in and I'm feeling inspired to get rid of the extra crap (and dog hair, which seems to be a tougher task) around our house.
Today's offering, from Lindsay Schauer from the Huffington Post-
De-Clutter Now: 8 Things You Can Live Without
1) Memorabilia
2) T-shirts
3) CDs and DVDs
4) Books
5) Sporting equipment
6) Bags and baggage
7) Kitchen gadgets
8) Things that are neither useful, nor beautiful
Is there anything on this list that you absolutely couldn't part with? Anything you'd add?

One after another the topgallant sails were double-reefed, close-reefed, and at last furled.
Let go the topgallant and topsail halliards, and clew up and furl the sails.
There was a similar raised place forward, called the topgallant forecastle.
Hand royals and topgallant sails," he sang out; "be smart, my lads.
With topgallant sails sheeted home, the Niagara bore down upon the Detroit, driven by a freshening breeze.
First her topgallant sails, then her topsails, rose out of the water.
The topgallant royal is a small spar which is often a continuation of the topgallant mast, and is fixed.
You see, I have taken the topgallant sails off the brig, so as not to be seen.
In small men-of-war no cabins are placed under the poop, nor are they ever under the topgallant forecastle.
We were within two miles of her when she up courses and took in her topgallant sails.

Can't go wrong eating on the hill. Great Italian food. Went during the day and it seemed good. But has been about 7 years ago.

Wife and I are going to STL this weekend, eat on The Hill and going to The Fox. Been there a bunch of times, prior to CCW days and don't have a clue what to expect.
Can't go wrong eating on the hill. Great Italian food. Went during the day and it seemed good. But has been about 7 years ago.
Oh, I know the food is good and The Fox will be cool, I'm asking if they are "Gun Free Zones" or not.
As I understand MO law, private businesses can post, but you don't have to honor the signage unless they ask you to leave....
(concealed is concealed!)
XDM 9mm
Crossbreed Supertuck
Psalm 144:1 "Blessed be the LORD, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle"
I haven't carried to the Fox yet, but I'd bet it has a sign. On the other hand, there's no way in hell post-CCW permit that I'd walk in that neighborhood without my gun. I've never seen them check anyone or anything, either. Way too uppity for that.
My read on it is that the signs do have the weight of the law, but all they can ask you to do is leave. You do risk a fine if you refuse, but it is not considered a criminal act.
See the last paragraph of this.............
Section 571-107 Endorsement does not authorize conceale
Last edited by GunnyBunny; February 16th, 2010 at 08:55 PM.
CCW permit holder for Idaho, Utah, Pennsylvania, Maine and New Hampshire. I can carry in your country but not my own.
That's true. And my instructor (a PO) said only once has a trespassing ticket been given to a CCW permit holder who wouldn't leave.
Only places I've thus far ignored were ones with inadequate signs and when the person I was with didn't know, and I thought disarming would give me away. But I'd absolutely ignore a sign at the Fox given the neighborhood its in.
I took my wife to the Fox theater to see the phantom of the opera. It was fantastic and yes I was carrying...and yes there was signs on the doors. I simply ignored them and went on about our business. I even walked past ten SLPD officers who waved at me and actually said hello.
Concealed is concealed...oh and we parked in a vacant lot with a dark alley next to it. Paid 10 dollars to park and the car was still there when we got to it, but it was like my head was possessed.
Go and enjoy...go and carry concealed.
I see on here a lot of people that say they won't spend money at any business that puts up a no ccw sign up. I think in a lot of cases they don't really care if you carry or not, the sign is just there to keep them out of trouble if you use your weapon. If they have a sign up they can prove they didn't allow any weapons on their property, but the absence of a sign could mean they approved of patrons carrying weapons and they might have some liability issues if you shot someone. It would really change their legal position in a court case. JMHO

Multiple projects - what order?
First- thanks for all of the great info here. Hours of reading...
We plan to do/contract a variety of projects, and I would like to get some opinions on the best order of the projects. Moving out and doing them all at once isn't really an option (or is it?? Hmm.) Thanks!
The house is a 1600 ft/sq, single story.
-Strip cieling popcorn, texture & paint
-Paint all inside walls
-Replace all carpets (6 rooms)
-Tile entry, 2 bathroom, and kitchen floors
-Remove brick/rebuild fireplace and mantle
-Install Recessed and other Lighting fixtures
-Paint Outside
1.) Remove brick and rebuild Fireplace.
2.) (Cove Poly over over new Fireplace Brick) -Then strip ceiling popcorn, texture & paint.
--) Install Fireplace Mantel
3.) Paint all inside walls.
4.) Tile entry, 2 bathroom, and kitchen floors.
5.) Replace all carpets (6 rooms).
6.) Install Recessed and other Lighting fixtures.
7.) Paint Outside.
I may disagree somewhat. Given your list as a final list and the only things that need to be done then Atlantice may have the order. Generally I like to make sure the OUTSIDE is done first. By outside, I'm talking more than just aesthetics. Roof repairs, gutters, windows, caulking, drainage, etc. If all those things are fine and you are just changing colors outside then the order should be...
My rule of thumb is to paint before floors go in. Old carpet makes good drop cloths and no need to worry about getting paint on tile. You just need to plan for it.
Thanks Guys!
I agree with Brik. If you do the electrical first you will be better off. You never know when you may have to change locations of a new fixture or even add in an extra unplanned switch. Always better to do this before you patch and paint.
I would adjust the painting of the walls (which I assume also means trim) to last. Yes, it's easier to paint over old floors but a friend of mine ended up repairing freshly painted walls when the floors went in after the paint. Just a few too many dings from the install plus a lot of dust stuck to the paint (from the saws when cutting the wood flooring) which hadn't had time to fully cure. It was just some extra work that could have been avoided by painting after.
I agree, generally, it is best to paint the walls last, as sighted, because if there is ANY kind of ongoing work in the home, materials and tools will be heaved around, usually creating small knicks and dents.
It's inevitable that you will have to do some spackling "touch up". We usually always leave the paint for last in any areas where work is still ongong (regardless if the drywall is completed).
My Daddy always taught me to restore cars in this order:
Fix all the mechanicals.
Fix the interior.
Finish the exterior.
The same concept applies to a house, a car, or a backyard, unless you are a flipper.
Thanks again for some great feedback.
The fireplace "front" brick is off, electrical is scheduled, we're off and running!
I would save having the carpet layed until last. You have to be extremely vigilant to keep dirty feet off new carpet.
Finish paint
electrical trim
move in furnishings
touch up paint
If you're using the same painting contractor for the interier and exterior, I would schedule them to start on the exterior while the interior is under construction. On rain days they can come inside and do prep work...filling holes, sanding trim etc... while the other contractors are doing their thing.
just my 2 cents

before, the exhaust used to rattle on the suspension.
Now it rattles much less... replacing the final one will tighten up the exhaust even more

Took car to dealer because it had "steering column lock fault" message. They replaced the immobilizer module under warranty. However, when driving home I noticed I couldn't see my LED's in the reflection of the car in front of me. They must have done some vag-com work as my led's are now not on as my drl's. They only come on when I turn on my headlights. Called the dealer and they are going to try to fix them later in the week. Now I just have to find the thread w/ the coding again.

Got our first "real" snowfall for this season last night. 4 inches of new lovely snow and I just couldn´t resist to go get a newspaper at the grocery store. Funny thing, the trip was about 10 miles longer than it usually is.
Crappy pics but for you guys who haven´t tried drivin´ your VW on snow with good tires, especially if you have a 4motion, you are really missing out on something.

Rob is extremely grateful for all of his sponsors, past and present. Although he has worked tremendously hard to achieve his status as a professional shooter, he would not be where he is today without the help of many individuals and companies. Here are his current sponsors:
Rob's employer, Springfield, Inc., has supported him, materially, financially and spiritually, for the majority of his professional career. Rob considers Springfield to be part of his family and will be grateful and loyal to them for all time. "Thanks, Springfield for everything you do – I am forever appreciative of your support and the endless opportunites!"
Safariland has been another major player in Rob's success. Being a member of Team Safariland has enabled Rob to go the extra distance in terms of training, attending matches, and winning! Rob is very fortunate to have such a dedicated and responsive sponsor. "Safariland is a very innovative and responsive company. Thank you, Safariland, for all of the years. I'm honored to be a part of your Team!"
Decot Sport Glasses – Rob switched to the Decot Hy-Wyd sport glasses while shooting shotgun in 2008, but he has grown to love them for Action Pistol Shooting too! "Thank you Decot for helping me "see" the difference your glasses can make!"
Rob's most-recent sponsor, Action Target, has been a blessing. Rob LOVES their portable target systems for practice. "I'm a lucky man to have a fine company such as yours as a sponsor and social media partner. Looking forward to many years of shooting on your sturdy targets!"

Serves 6 people
This is our favorite autumn dessert. If you like pumpkin pie, you'll love this lighter alternative. Shown with Mango-Habanero Whipped Cream.
1 cup condensed milk
1 cup milk
4 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of cinnamon allspice
Pinch of ground cloves
1 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin
6 buttered and sugared ramekins
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Butter six 3/4 cup ramekins and coat with sugar. In a medium- sized saucepan combine the condensed milk and regular milk and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until scalded.
In a nonreactive bowl, beat the eggs and yolk lightly. Add the vanilla, sugar and spices and whisk until well mixed. While continuing to whisk, add the milk gradually and then the pumpkin. Fill the buttered and sugared ramekins with the mixture.
Place the ramekins in a baking pan and add hot water to the pan to reach halfway up the sides of the molds. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the custards are set. Remove from the oven and let cool. Run a paring knife around the inside edge of each mold to loosen the custards. Then unmold onto 6 small plates.

Fighting cats? Yesterday, a neighborhood kitty (pet,stray, feral IDK) perched himself on the outside of my catio.
Two of the girls are fine with it and not affected at all (Java & Espresso). However, the other two girls are at each others throats and have been since they saw him. Any suggestions to get them to stop fighting?

- This question is closed.
Best Answer
This is called "redirected aggression". The obvious solution is to chase the male away. I posted recently about using coleus plants and coffee grounds spread around the area--2 scents cats don't like. There are also motion sprinklers that will come on when the cat approaches the catio. You may also have to separate the 2 girls when they fight, but be careful. You may have to use gloves and a blanket to keep from being bitten or clawed. You may need to separate them for an hour or even a day. If there is cat food out on the catio, remove it. It may be attracting the stray. Ditto for catnip toys. You may eventually have to consider trapping the cat and having the humane officer in your area remove it.
Izadore (Izzie) answered on May 16th.
Other Answers
Are all the females spayed? The male is probably looking for a girlfriend and has probably sprayed around there area. You girls are probably trying to claim their property and it is stressing them out, thus, the fighting. Without knowing much about this situation, try to get the male to move on and make sure he hasn't "marked" the territory. Cats also know when another cat is sick and that will stress them out, too.

Does the line have end-points?
Just a suggestion, boots. I like the dark color of this, but when I think of moths to a flame (light source) I think of it being lighter: pale yellow, bright yellow, white. Something much brighter to give the the full effect. I understand the name of the piece and why it's dark, but I saw you were possibly considering a resub... that's why I'm suggesting this.
It is really good though.
Line Dance is brilliant!! I LOVE the design and the cleverness of "line dance".

Yeah, I dig this one. And it _would_ make an excellent pairing with Fog. It's a crime that it didn't last longer on the reckoning list--one of my all-time favorite shirts (wearing it now, under my work-approved dress shirt). In comparison, you look at some of the lousier designs and they just hang around forever . . .

Ken and Barbie at life size

There has been considerable discussion in both the scientific literature and general media concerning the appropriateness of the body shape and proportions of the Ken and Barbie dolls, the most popular dolls in modern history. The greatest concern has been of the possible influence that these, and other "cultural ideals" for body shape, may have on young children. However, these concerns have been based entirely on the subjective interpretation of how one perceives the body dimensions of the dolls relative to an adult size. We therefore used our skills in anthropometry and the rules of allometry to scale the dolls to an adult height to determine the dimensions that these dolls would assume at this adjusted size. These were compared to actual proportions of several representative adult groups of predominantly Anglo-Australian males and females. The critics have been justified in their opinions since both Barbie and Ken are thin relative to the reference samples. Barbie's mean girth z-score relative to a reference cross-section of the young adult population was −4.2. This indicates that the probability for such a body shape is less than 1 in 100,000. Ken is more realistic at about 1 in 50.

The Beverly Hills West facility is known for its most visible element: the Tower of Hope. When wells were being drilled from the Beverly Hills West site the drilling derrick was enclosed in a tower to eliminate noise from the drilling operations. In 2000, as part of the Portraits of Hope (link to portraitsofhope.org) project, the tower was covered with beautiful and colorful canvas panels painted by children throughout California who were battling terminal illness.
The amazing partnership between Venoco and the Massey Brothers enabled an urban oil facility to house one of the largest pieces of public art. Many thanks to Ed and Bernie Massey for their creative vision and civic engagement!
Both the tower and the painted canvas have served the community well during a time when the tower was needed at the Beverly Hills West facility. Sadly, due to wear and tear on the canvas of the Tower of Hope some of the flowered panels have been replaced with solid grey canvas. Many photographs have been taken of the Tower of Hope through the years to document its beauty and celebrate the wonderful children who created the colorful community art.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The WVU baseball team blanked Hartford this afternoon in game one of a doubleheader at Hawley Field. The Mountaineers won their home opener 7-0.
West Virginia (6-3) stepped out to an early lead in the bottom of the second thanks to a home run from redshirt freshman Jordon Yost. The Mountaineers tacked on two runs in the bottom of the third to stretch the lead to 3-0. Senior Jason Pape smacked a double to right center in the bottom of the fourth to score sophomore Justin Parks who had also reached on a double.
Hartford (0-1), competing in its first game of the season could not stage a comeback. Three more runs in the bottom of the fifth would complete the win for the Mountaineers.
Mountaineer starter Levi Maxwell (3-0) was credited with the win. Maxwell struck out six batters and had no walks in seven innings of work.
The Hawks' Weston Szymanski (0-1) recorded the loss, allowing four runs on five hits in 3.2 innings on the mound.
Yost went 2-2 this afternoon while senior Justin Jenkins was 1-2.
Game two of this afternoon's doubleheader has been delayed due to rain. First pitch for that game is tentatively scheduled for 5 p.m. today.

- //The Ting Tings
There's something apt about the oft-mentioned erstwhile musical endeavours of the Ting Tings. Both Katie White, the duo's perky blonde frontwoman, and completing cog Jules De Martino featured in various outfits prior to the electro-pop of their current incarnation. As a teen, White made up a third of an all-girl group that made small ripples, supporting bubblegum-pop-peddlers Steps and the similarly ignominious Brit boy band Five, before ultimately coming to nothing. De Martino, too, established a few unsuccessful troupes before the pair united in a threesome, Dear Eskimo, who despite major label backing never released anything of note. While the Ting Tings swift chart ascension obviously breaks from this history of solid foundations with little end product, We Started Nothing, their debut full-length release, does follow a similar trajectory.
Arguably, it peaks too soon, opening its ten-strong set with the Manchester outfit's three first singles, "Great DJ", "That's Not My Name" and "Fruit Machine", the second of which recently enjoyed a stint as UK no.1 in a trimmed-down rendition. But in truth these three make for a golden hello in showcasing the Ting Tings' best strength: constructing simple, punchy pop tunes with energy and zest if not songwriting flair. It's a formula they repeat time and time again throughout their debut, but never with quite as much success as on its opening gambits.
The Ting Tings
We Started Nothing
(Red Ink)
US: 3 Jun 2008
UK: 19 May 2008
"Great DJ" begins the album with a simplistic, rasping chord sequence (reminiscent in rhythm and structure to Midlake's "Kingfish Pies", curiously enough), but one that is soon sugar-coated by a dancefloor-destined chorus of "ah-ah-ah"s and "ee-ee-ee"s, its brazen rejection of logical lyrical construction in favour of "the drums, the drums, the drums" seemingly an invitation to join it there. "That's Not My Name" takes longer to reach a similarly energizing destination, but does so eventually, where its chanted title, shrouded in the maelstrom of climactic fuzz, proves itself to be a better backing vocal than chorus. "Fruit Machine", though, is the weakest of the three, its cartoonish "Whole Lotta Love" bassline repeated energetically to the point of irritation, unaided by the fact that its chorus is reminiscent of something White might have sang in her teenybopping days. The hideously twee inclusion of rattling change and the (appropriate) ting of the song's titular contraption hardly help matters either.
Still, the singles do their job; they're catchy, pert and sunny enough for the afternoon slots on this summer's festival circuit the band will no doubt be given, an appeal which will no doubt only increase if Britain is blessed with a few rays of ultraviolet this year. But little of what follows—the punchy "Shut Up and Let Me Go" excepted, but we'll get to that in a minute—is capable of substantiating this lure. The likes of "Keep Your Head" and "Be the One" are flowery nuggets of electro-pop, catchy enough to be mildly diverting but ultimately pretty hollow, while token slow number "Traffic Light", although evidencing White's capable vocals better than anywhere else, is perfectly pretty but far from stunning. We Started Nothing's closing two efforts suggest a developing sense of adventure, so it's unfortunate that they're the worst two songs on the album: "Impacilla Carpisung" is a limpid, ill-advised tangle of CSS-cum-Le Tigre vocals chanted and looped with all the panache of a Grange Hill singalong; while the titular closer sets shaking foundations for six minutes of gradual expansion by pinning strained falsetto to a riff so tired it runs out of life within a few seconds of its overlong playtime.
What's more, White invalidates some of her band's exuberant, feel-good appeal by persistently adopting an antagonistic, come-and-have-a-go vibe. Call it attitude, call it pluck; whatever it is, it gets a bit tiresome after a while. If there's a meaningful feminist message within "That's Not My Name" ("Are you calling me 'darling'? / Are you calling me 'bird'?") than it's lost amid the brattiness of it's execution, while a similarly shouty, pissed-off-schoolgirl approach crops up also in "Keep Your Head", "We Walk", "Impacilla Carpisung" and "Shut Up and Let Me Go". Only in this latter example (which is suspiciously reminiscent of CSS's biggest hit, "Let's Make Love", incidentally) does it sound entirely appropriate, where it's the perfect modus operandi for White's defiant, well… pissed-off-schoolgirl lyrics ("I ain't freakin' / I ain't faking this / Shut up and let me go!")
While we're on that particular subject, lyrics aren't exactly the Ting Tings strong point, either. Perhaps it doesn't really matter, given that there's very few who see the release of an electro-pop album as ripe opportunity for a good psychoanalysis and it's hard to imagine there'll be many people trawling through De Martino or White's respective histories in search of some deeper understanding of the profundity behind titles like "Great DJ", but the duo often shoot themselves in the foot by trapping themselves inside clumsy metaphors. After all, if you're going find raison d'être for a love song in such questionable areas as fruit machines and traffic lights then awkward lines like "Hold me, nudge me, spinning me around / Where's the money? Can't hear that clinking sound" are an inevitability.
But that's a churlish gripe, in truth, when what the Ting Tings do is make sunny, punchy pop songs, and what's more, that's something that actually do pretty well. How much lifespan there is in the project, however, is another question entirely, and it won't be too surprising if White and De Martino find themselves back at square one if they can't rein their briefly-aired sense of experimentation in a more palatable direction. For now, though, it's likely that a fair few people will be happy for We Started Nothing to be the soundtrack of their summer.

From bug 326877 comment 72, user content can generate menu popups that float over all windows and can be positioned at arbitrary window positions. This allows spoofing things such as CST's BSOD testcase https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=253104 and the phisher's favorite, covering up the URL-bar, http://ctho.ath.cx/tmp/moz/326877evil2.xul from bug 326877 comment 76 We need to restrict non-privileged popups to the area of the content window.
Comment 1•
10 years ago
Do you mean just adjust the size of popups to the rectangle of the parent document (by resizing the popup), or make the popups work more like absolute positioned items that are just overlaid into the page (such that one would need to scroll if the popup is off the border)?
Comment 2•
10 years ago
I mean adjust the size and position of the popup to the parent document, it can still be a popup (I saw your "in page" Mac patch in bug 326877 and I think people who use popups would rebel). We'd also have to add position checks if popups can be moved--can they? I had a partially working patch from bug 326877, I'll try to find and attach it.
Comment 3•

OK, that's actualy easier to implement.

Created attachment 259238 [details] [diff] [review] This seems to work Not sure if GetScreenRect is right here for xul documents, but it seems to work. Want to test it a bit more before it gets reviewed. It constrains popups from content to the window area.
Comment 5•
10 years ago
Created attachment 259240 [details]
This testcase shows some menus and moves and resizes them when the mouse is moved over them. The patch currently just prevents popups from being moved, but resizing should be constrained to the window.
Comment 6•
10 years ago
Comment on attachment 259238 [details] [diff] [review] This seems to work I tested this some more and it seems to work
+ !GetStyleDisplay()->mAppearance && !mInContentShell; Do we need this check anymore? Seems to me that with this patch transparent popups are OK, right? What if someone displays a popup and then moves the window away? The popup stays where it is, right? That seems like a problem.
Comment 8•
10 years ago
I suppose what should happen if the window is moved is that the popups should be closed, perhaps by calling DocumentViewerImpl::HideViewIfPopup Do we need to be concerned only when a script moves the window, or when the user does? Note also that the popup will shuffle position back to be constrained within the frame area anyway when it gets reflowed.
Comment 9•
10 years ago
I'm not at all concerned if the user manually moves the window, but wouldn't popups normally close when the user clicks on the window to drag it anyway?
Comment 10•
10 years ago
Yes, it should do, although only the one that the widget system is keeping track of.
I'm primarily concerned about the script moving the window, right.

Created attachment 260587 [details] [diff] [review] this version closes popups when the parent window is moved
+ !GetStyleDisplay()->mAppearance && !mInContentShell; We can allow transparent popups for content now, right? On trunk, instead of HideViewIfPopup, how about using nsPresContext::GetActivePopups, or whatever the equivalent is after the popups rework? I guess we can land this first if you promise to fix that later.
Comment on attachment 260587 [details] [diff] [review] this version closes popups when the parent window is moved OK, so this patch is acceptable as-is.
Comment 15•

(In reply to comment #13) > + !GetStyleDisplay()->mAppearance && !mInContentShell; > > We can allow transparent popups for content now, right? > Don't know. I didn't follow the implementing of transparent popups. > On trunk, instead of HideViewIfPopup, how about using > nsPresContext::GetActivePopups, or whatever the equivalent is after the popups > rework? I guess we can land this first if you promise to fix that later. The list in GetActivePopups doesn't contain all the popups. Once the popup rework is done, HideViewIfPopup won't be needed either so it won't need to mess about with views.

Comment 17•
10 years ago
Finally got a chance to test and it addresses the cases I was worried about.
The testcase attachment 259240 [details] doesn't open menus "up" in a small window as advertised by the text in the page, dunno if that's anything to worry about from a regression POV.

Which text says this? Maybe you linked to the wrong attachment?
Comment 19•
10 years ago
Attachment 259240 [details], which is the second attachment in this bug ("testcase"), says
"Try shrinking the window down and opening either of the three menus.
They should move to open upwards instead of down if there is room,
otherwise shrink to the frame size."
I'm happy with what they're doing post-patch, just noting that nothing goes "up" no matter how small I make the window. Maybe the testcase description is wrong.

What kind of interface changes are allowed for the branch now? There's a change in nsIPresShell in this patch.
10 years ago
Comment 21•
10 years ago
I *think* changing nsIPresShell is OK because it's not an .idl or otherwise available externally. We haven't made promises about internal layout interfaces as far as I know. But we should double-check that with one of the layout owners like roc or dbaron.
Comment 22•
10 years ago
Absent approval to change nsIPresShell on the branch (and dbaron was not sure) you could add the new function to a nsIPresShell_MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH interface.
I think we have avoided changing nsIPresShell on the branch because extensions can (and I think do) use it.
Comment 24•
10 years ago
There actually already is a nsIPresShell_MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH interface, should this just be modified or should yet another interface be added? Why are extensions using nsIPresShell? It's an internal non-scriptable interface.
I think we can modify nsIPresShell_MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH. Maybe it's embedders that use it, not extensions. I'm pretty sure gnome-web-photo and Epiphany use it.

I don't know if I get it right. But if I go to http://ctho.ath.cx/tmp/moz/326877evil2.xul I get a bar that tries to cover the url-bar. Now this has been patched and it just comes on the screen. But is it normal that if I go to another tab, it still shows the bar? Isn't that a possible way to fake a login screen? 1) load an xul showing a login screen (like the one of gmail) 2) open gmail in a new tab 3) The login screen of the XUL is on top of the gmail one and has the same look. Nobody expects a fake one?!!!!
Comment 30•
10 years ago
It's also the case that: 1) goto http://ctho.ath.cx/tmp/moz/326877evil2.xul - pop-up appears in window 2) click back button - back to previous page, with no pop-up 3) forward button (ie: return to pop-up page) - there is now no pop-up window The pop-up returns if you click on the window (well, in the main part of the window - it doesn't return if you clock in the entry box at the bottom). I can't see any security issue in this at the moment, just reporting and oddity.

Underreported: Teaching the Afghan Army to Read
The American-led strategy in Afghanistan relies on training local Afghan forces so they're able to take over their own security. Only 18 percent of those 243,000 Afghans in the army and police have more than a Kindergarten-level ability to read. Noah Shachtman, contributing writer for Wired magazine, discusses the US military's efforts to teach Afghan security forces to read as well as to fight.

New York • More women are staying at home full time to raise their children, according to a new Pew Research Center report released Tuesday.
Factors cited by Pew to explain the increase include more immigrant mothers, who tend to stay home with children in greater numbers than U.S.-born moms; more women unable to find work; and ambivalence about the impact of working mothers on young children.
The share of mothers who do not work outside the home rose to 29 percent in 2012, the study found.
That's up from a low of 23 percent at the turn of the century, according to the report. At the height of the recession in 2008, Pew estimated 26 percent of mothers were home with children.

I don't really have anything to offer on the lease vs purchase discussion but, as someone who lives in Houston, I would add the following suggestions.
- I also love convertibles but, as most of the year it's too cold or too hot to have the top down, a convertible isn't very practical here. The majority of the summer it really is too hot/humid to want the top down and have no air conditioning.
- As Houston is a big city, for me the navigation is a necessity. The phone is one work around for that, but it's a small screen and takes much more focus off of your driving than the bigger nav screen in the car. It's also handy having the side map on all the time which you wouldn't have using your phone.
- You might try Walter DeCesaris at the Momentum BMW in west Houston (almost in Katy) to discuss lease vs purchase or anything purchase related. I've used him for a couple of new and a couple of used cars in the past and he's always done right by me.
(I am in no way affiliated with the dealership, just in the right part of town for you and I've had positive experiences with him.)
- If you need any info or recommendations about the area (Katy or west Houston), feel free to PM me.

Racism very much exists in Cape Town. At election time, the
outcome here will be determined by race. You won't find that in other parts of the country.
The majority of people here are from the coloured sector. They are scared of losing their privileges, so they play race politics.
I'm voting ANC because the process (of change) is not yet finished. They are the ones who have created jobs - created a climate where business can flourish, and you can become something, no matter who you are.

Just want to mention LSD's as well, but obviously pricey.

What are peoples thoughts on just replacing the cracked dust boot versus doing a rebuild? My rear dust boots are cracked to hell but my braking performance is fine i.e. the car doesn't pull at all from side to side and my rear pad wear is low and consistant.
What color are your caliupers? Post a picutre -
Brown/Purple... I know the "best" option is to do a rebuild but the level of effort is much higher. Just trying to weigh my options.
Come everyone, when is someone going to order 981 rear brake ducts and see if they'll fit the 987?
I also heard that Park Place in Dallas was working on an aftermarket solution for 987 rear brake ducts, and I saw one of their cars with a prototype in place last spring. IIRC, they were modified 997 (from that model, not necessarily part number), heavily modified, and with heat shielding as the were right next to the exhaust pipes and they said they could have problems with the duct melting!
Here's a question: the '12 manual says PSM will turn back on if one of the front wheels is using ABS (SC off) or two front wheels (SC on), but it doesn't mention when it turns back off--when does it turn back off? I know that it does turn back off, as at Barber a few weekends ago I managed to get the R to oversteer with PSM off even though I get deep into the ABS on a turn or two at that track maybe 10 or so seconds before the oversteer point. There was no sign of a PSM intervention which I've seen previously with PSM on-- this usually occurs coming out of a turn under power in reduced traction conditions as I give it too much throttle.
Another question: With PSM off, I got the blinking lit for TC in action, but I've never seen the PSM light (blinking or not) coming out of the same turn with PSM on--how do we know if TC is kicking in with PSM on?
Anyone annoyed with the brake pedal feed back? On more than one occasion I could only tell I was into the ABS from the tire noise--no feeling in the pedal at all. Tire noise does work sometimes, but not at higher speeds when its just too loud.
Off topic, my car shimmy's a lot under heavy braking, and neither me nor anyone else who's been the in the car is entirely sure why. Current guesses are slick track, heavy ABS braking, or a combination of the two.
That being said, a PSDS instructor I rode with had the car moving around under braking as well, but he was a WHOLE lot better at anticipating and correcting the shimmy before it affected the car.
Maybe you should?? Just sayin'.
This is due to LSD, or lack thereof. If your R has stock LSD, it's either gone or is not effective enough. Stock 987 LSDs are known to be crappy. GT3's are better but not by that much. Get Guard LSD and it'll fix your squirreling.
Just saw this thread. I had the same rear brake over heating issues. The cause seemed to be rear wheel spin in the corners. The standard Cayman R LSD does not work to prevent wheel spin. I had the LSD rebuilt to lock up and have solved most of the problem. Let me know if anyone wants more details.
2)What they're seeing was described to me as unusual wear. But they admittedly typically work on near-zero mile cars. So my diff might be normal. But they were surprised by what they saw.
My car has <11k miles and 11 DE days on it.

Lenovo recently launched a free "Lost and Found" service for customers who install Absolute Software's Computrace on their computer systems. This new services makes it very, very easy for lost ThinkPads to be returned by good Samaritans.
Computrace, helps your computer get found, if it's stolen by thieves. Whereas, "Lost and Found" is an additional service to enable those who find your computer and want to return it to you, to easily return it to you.
I think anyone that has very sensitive data and wants to ensure their computer can be returned should use a "LoJack" like service to ensure your computer can be returned.
David Strom recounts this story in his 6 October, WebInformant newsletter. After you read his story you'll probably hope your computer gets stolen so you can have fun in spying on the thieves before the police bust them.
Greg Hemig, the operator and owner Sacramento VAR, Capital Computer Guys, has been a Kaseya customer for years and tries to get all of his PC support clients to install the Kaseya agent on their machines. This agent can do a lot of different things, such as remotely control the machine, update drivers, and install a keylogger to keep track of what the user is doing.
Most people use it for fairly benign purposes but Hemig figured out quickly after the laptops were stolen that he could use the software to track down where the machines were being used.
Which he did. He was able to gather all sorts of information from them once they connected to the Internet -
"I was able to find out not just an IP address, which is what a typical anti-theft product like LoJack would provide, but an actual physical address, the names of the user's girlfriend and family, how to access their bank accounts, and even turn on the microphone on the laptop and listen to what they were saying while they were typing." Scary stuff, but within two weeks of contacting law enforcement, he was able to get back both machines to their original owners.
The hardest part about the whole process wasn't collecting the information, but convincing the cops that he was legit and that they needed to act to retrieve the PCs. Both laptops didn't travel very far from their original locations - one was only 20 miles away.
Hemig charges $30 a month per PC to support his customers, and has more than 600 PCs under management in this fashion. That is a nice piece of business, and something that more VARs should consider.
"It makes me more competitive, and it was the same price that I used to charge for break/fix work, but now I can deliver a lot better service to my customers," he says. "I think traditional tech support companies are going to disappear soon. Certainly, having Kaseya has changed my business completely. I almost wish my laptop would be stolen just to try to find it."
Kaseya may be new as an anti-theft device, but it made it a lot easier to recover the laptops. And the company is looking into providing other tools to help its VARs in similar circumstances.

Valve gasket replacement
Hey Beemer world! Just looking for some advice and tips for replacing my valve cover. I recently had an overheating issue wit my car.
At first I believed it was just the water pump since there was no smoke being blown or smell of coolant. After replacing the pump it was evident the pump was bad because large amounts of smoke and the smell of coolant are present.
Should I perform a compression test to ensure there aren't any cracks or faulty valves before changing the gasket? All input is appreciated... THANKS!!!
If your not leaking oil than and your valves aren't clacking then a valve cover gasket isn't necessary. A headgasket does sound like your issue tho.
So are you saying that you did not have coolant and smoke from your tailpipe with the old pump, but you have that with the new one? Did you check just before you changed it out ?
In any case, water pump failure is not supposed to lead to problems like this. Do the compression test. Ignore the vcg for now. Post your results here and we'll take it from there. I might have a good solution for you as well.
That would be the head gasket. Anyway, do that compression test and check back in. Lets see if we can fix this up for you without too much of a cost.
Take a look at your dipstick for your engine. Does it look normal or milky ?
I would seriously hesitate to replace my own HG if i need youtube to help me there. Perhaps you could download the E34 Bentley manual for more information. Please search these forums for the searchable manual and download it for free from the internet and read through it carefully. Perhaps the link is in the maintenance sticky at the top of these forums if not please search. That would be the wiser move.
Do the compression test before you do anything else. You may have a cracked cylinder head.
Please do more reading up on the net about this. The devil is in the details.
Or you know what? Go to bed. Don't think about this anymore. Do the compression test in the morning. Compare your results against websites which show you how to interpret such tests. Post your results here as well. Then we take it from there.
Hi all.
The title of the thread is wrong. Your problem may be the cylinder head gasket and definitely not the valve cover. For the replacement of vcg, if you go for a head gasket replacement, the vcg will be included in the kit.
I'm also searching for prices to have "my" head gasket replaced. Run a compression test, first "dry" then "wet", like I did and keep the results. With this you may have a clue of what's inside the motor. Dry for the cylinder head and wet for the block, roughly.
Also, I've been searching for head gasket replacement and it can be DIY, although it must be performed conscientiously, with method and time. Expect some specific tools for the job. First, gather as much info as you can.
And definitely troubleshoot for head gasket failure: smoke, coolant smell, dipstick, creamy oil, bubbles on the expansion tank, too much pressure on cooling hoses, and so on. Don´t really believe in just one symptom. I really believe one problem as more than one clue. At least two clues for the problem. It's pretty well engineered and engineers don't like to make fast judgements.
Keep posting and best regards
I think you could probably get by with a much simpler cooling system pressure test. You are having an overheating problem, check the cooling system first.
Check for all of the symptoms listed in the thread, milky oil, oil in coolant, bubbles in the expansion tank while running. If there is coolant in the oil, chocolate milky looking oil, stop driving the car or risk major bearing damage.
If you smell coolant in the exhaust, the car is overheating, and consuming coolant, the headgasket is the most likely culprit.
Snow, Heys burning coolant, Isn't it a little past a cooling system failure? Sounds like a head gasket, not to many ways coolant gets past exhaust valves. I don't see to many cracked heads around, but with a water pump failure, I suppose it could happen.
If the system will not hold pressure, and there is no external leak, you can almost count on a blown headgasket considering the other listed symptoms.
Bite the bullet and get the head off and down to the shop. With water in the exhaust the head will have to come off sooner or later. May as well get brave. A good shop will do a crack test first and tell you if it worth spending more cash on that head or get a replacement. Mine does those free for me. The rebuild and machining plus gasket set leave me about $600 poorer.
I just wanted to share something you guys all probably know already, but it was really helpful to me and it's sort of related to cracked heads from overheating, so even with my limited mechanical knowledge I will share. I kept overheating, blowing hoses, etc. We tried everything, thermostat, radiator cleanse, etc, etc, etc! Then I did some research and found that the E34's have a tendency to have the sealants around their fans deteriorate...the fan keeps turning so no one suspects that it's not turning FAST ENOUGH to keep the engine cool....thus the chronic overheating.
Well, once that was fixed, sealant and all...my baby runs at perfect temperature, all day every day. :) Now if my transmission issue was that simple....
Just a FYI, hope that helps someone,
I am very much revealing my ignorance here, but I don't now remember which fan it was, just that I think there are two (one is a back-up perhaps?) and they cool the engine down. So I am guessing engine fan. And I read that the fan issue is a common reason for the E-34 to have overheating issues. Actually I paid 27$ to ask.com when I was so frustrated with how my mechanic could 't figure out why it kept overheating and had spent 100's and 100's of dollars trying many non essential fixes. And the expense of those hoses! Best 27$ I have even spent!

More Turtle Action in Second 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Teaser
by Ethan Anderton
April 30, 2014
Since the first teaser trailer for the reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles didn't show off much in the vein of our heroes in a half shell getting into action, an updated version of the teaser trailer has arrived with some great new shots of every single turtle in the gang, and even a shot of one of them skateboarding like your average teenage turtle. One of the biggest noticeable differences is that Donatello seems to have been given a whole bunch of science gear, including some kind of backpack complete with a set of weird goggles. Plus, there's also a new shot of a pretty massive Shredder and even Splinter handling a sword. Watch now!
Updated teaser trailer for Jonathan Liebesman's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from YouTube:
The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder (William Fichtner) and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April (Megan Fox) and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett) to save the city and unravel Shredder's diabolical plan. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Clash of the Titans) and written by Josh Appelbaum & Andre Nemec (Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol). Paramount Pictures releases the film everywhere on August 8th.
