I'm on the way of learning Java myself. I find most of texts giving emphasis to Java applets. I got confused about the importance. Is it something widely used? Do I need to spend more time on it?

As one of the most experienced applet developers1 willing to help on public forums (e.g. the Oracle forums or Stack Overflow), it saddens me to see new students 'tossed in at the deep end' to learn how to make an applet.
The reasons are multiple, but first, I'll look a little at the history of applets and why applets were ever considered a good idea for teaching small, simple projects.
Applet vs. Frame
The simplest applet is:
Looks simple, right?
But an applet gets a size & position on screen from the HTML that loads it. So an applet also requires a little HTML E.G.
This makes the total for a working applet 17 LOC. Not looking quite so simple now. Worse, many developers think 'any old mark-up will do' when that is very much not the case. Missing opening or closing elements make the HTML invalid and how a browser will interpret it is anyone's guess.
Compare that to an application that behaves in as smooth a manner:
So, while it takes just 9 lines of code for the simplest of
applets (even including the
AWT vs Swing
Time moves on, and the Swing component toolkit was introduced as a replacement for AWT. Nobody uses AWT anymore. Most Java GUI developers started using Swing, and those that have used AWT have largely forgotten the fine details.
This is relevant to the student in terms of getting help when they get stuck. It does not matter who we are, when approaching new areas of CS, we all tend to reach for whatever resources might help us understand the new technique. For a student the best resources are firstly the text books and class notes, but those typically only go so far at explaining, and the rest is from things like the JavaDocs, the Java Tutorial, searching the net, or asking for clarification on forums.
Those last two are particularly relevant in that:
Industry uses Swing and that is all that Swing programmers know and remember. AWT is obsolete, and a dead end in career or learning.
So let's now look at the proper way to write a Swing applet & application. The Java Tutorial warns us that all Swing code should be started and updated on the Event Dispatch Thread, which (ironically) is an AWT based Thread.
A simple Swing applet might then be:
This is slightly verbose (25 LOC) for strict clarity, but could be reduced to:
It could be further shortened (from 20 LOC) by declaring the
And now the Swing equivalent application, using the same 'short guidelines'.
Just 18 LOC in total.
Not very much coding to see our simple message on screen, in a free floating Swing component.
Embedded vs. not embedded
By default, Java applets run in a security sand-box that prohibits many actions which might be damaging to other applets, the browser or the user's machine.
While the security sand-box is of great benefit to end-users, it makes the life of the developer difficult. And it has just become that much more difficult in Java 7 update 21.
In Java 7 Update 21 Security Improvements in Detail Markus Eisele notes:
While that warning is a little extreme, I agree with the underlying point being made. A user (or in this case you, the teacher) will need to OK some very scary dialogs, and posibly lower the default Java security to an unsafe level, before being able to view an applet.
Error reporting
Class caching
Many times I have responded to applet problems where the questioner swears they have changed the code & recompiled it, yet the browser is still showing the old values. The solution is relatively simple when you know how - flush the class cache from the Java Console. To someone learning, it is typically a complete mystery.
Embedded conclusion
Those 3 problems alone have probably earned me a quarter of the reputation points I've so far earned on this site. They pose huge problems when developing and debugging applets.
But more on Java applets as a web app. component - other cons:
The question really comes down to:
Are you teaching Java/CS or how to deploy applets?
If the former, use
Author Credentials
Applets aren't used widely these days, so the knowledge won't be that useful. That said, there is little in Java that is applet-specific. It makes no difference if you learn AWT and Swing by writing applets or by writing desktop applications. It's fairly easy to write an application that will also function as an applet.
The main distinction is that you use a different top-level container for applets than for applications. Unsigned applets also have some security restrictions, particularly around IO and networking.
If your aim is to learn GUI development in Java, I would say to stay away from applets and just focus on learning Swing the old-fashioned way. I don't know all the ins and outs of Applets and it hasn't affected my job negatively. On the other hand, many games are distributed as applets, as well as the output of Processing. So it's a good skill to have if you want to distribute your work in an easy to view way on the web, but I wouldn't strive to create anything huge within an applet.
(Do note that it's not impossible to port existing code written for the desktop to run as an applet, which is why I suggest you learn desktop development first. You'll learn the concepts but without having to jump through the extra hoops of the special applet GUI code, and the browser interactions.
It all depends on what your intentions are and who your audience is. Since you are just starting out, and if you do not have a project that requires you to project into the web/browser, I would tinker with Swing and learn how that UI paradigm works. When the time comes, you can then learn how to wrap that into an Applet and deal with the deployment issues (security, deployment, platform compatibility, etc). Even if you never use an Applet, or Swing in the future, the core concepts you learn to master Swing (threading, events and listeners, employing a MVC philosophy, basic behavior of UI widgets ....) are useful in almost any UX context.
Applets are really just a different way of deploying Swing or AWT applications, where you embed the application in a browser-based environment rather than running as a standalone application.
So my advice would be to focus on Swing (AWT is somewhat outdated nowadays...) and if you need to then you can always wrap the same code in an applet later.
I've written Java code that could run either as an applet or a standalone Swing application, you need literally just 10 or so lines of code to support both.....
I would say not, because they're not very widely used. If you're curious, you might want to take a look at them after you've gotten a good handle on Java. They're not terribly hard to understand, but I wouldn't include them on my primary list of things to learn.
From what I've noticed, most web pages don't embed Java applets. The programming environment (at least from a web and server perspective) is moving towards easy-to-write and quick to deploy languages and frameworks such as AJAX and .NET.
Flash is another a big reason Java applets have generally moved out of the spotlight. Flash GUI's are incredibly easy to create and most of the behind-the-scenes coding functionality required for interface stuff is already included. I think the only new Java applet I've seen as of late was a specialized stock tracking program built into Think Or Swim.
But what the hell do I know, I write mostly native applications in C++/ASM. I only use the really high level stuff for interfacing with the code I write in those languages.
That being said, while it's useful to know those older Java features, you should get and read more up-to-date material. Java is an evolving language. You will always have to learn new material with each major release. While I mostly code in C++, I do borrow and implement some concepts and features from Java, so I am familiar with the platform.
Here's some project ideas:
Feel free to correct me, I'm only 16 and I'm relatively new to the programming world!
Generally no, unless you have tried all other GUI platforms/frameworks and itching for something different.
Academically speaking, can provide a different perspective of GUI development whether it is for teaching or demostrations (some might say -ve demo :P ).
if you are building a web-based program handling some very confidential information ( such as banking or financial application), go for applets, the fact that it is not widely used, you can take advantage that to at least get away from the sight of common hackers, java has a bunch of methods on which you can encrypt everything when you are transmitting data, also the ui itself will require more efforts before you can decompile a *.class file,
just like how popularity of "Windows" make it as an apple of the eye of the virus authors and hackers, use non-popular technologies to hold them back

I am using webpy framework for my project. I am logging in from my 'login' class of main.py program. I want to get the username in some other class. I tried with session and experimented with it for a long time. I have implemented session like below.
store = web.session.DiskStore('sessions')
session = web.session.Session(app,store,initializer={'login': 0,'privilege': 0})
in my login class of main.py the following code will work when user submit username and password.(This is the post method 0f my login class).
class login:
def POST(self):
i = web.input(form_submit="Login")
authdb = sqlite3.connect('database/users.db')
conn = authdb.cursor()
if i.form_submit=='Login':
check = conn.execute('select * from user_details where username=?and password=?', (i.username, i.password))
if len(n)!=0:
session.loggedin = True
session.username = i.username
return render.home('Home')
else: return render.display('Wrong username or password !')
I want to get the username in some other class. I tried to access the username with
session.username , but it shows the following error.

Comments about MALIN+GOETZ Ingrown Hair Cream, .5 oz:
This product works, but it takes some time to see results. I've been using it along my chin/jawline where I tend to get embarrassing ingrown hairs. It took about three weeks of consistent use (2 times/day) before I noticed a difference, so don't expect an overnight miracle!
The cream is pricey, but you only need to use a little at a time, so the tube should last a while. It has a strong odor that I wouldn't describe as either good or bad, but definitely noticeable.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

In various locations I've "infiltrated" I've noticed that there are locked chests. Usually there's a little bit of "red text" saying I can pick the lock - which typically indicates that this is a criminal act.
However, I don't know if I'd actually get busted for doing this in front of someone, and there's also not a "percentage chance of failure" like for stealing. I can't tell if I'm going to get into trouble or not before I start, which is important since I don't particularly like jail.
If I pick a NPC owned, locked item in front of witnesses, but don't steal any of the items, will I get into trouble with the law? What circumstances will cause me to get busted?

Instructables Joins Autodesk
Today I'm able to share my plan for accelerating that vision, and making Instructables an even better place to be. I'm proud to announce that Instructables is becoming part of Autodesk. Everyone here at Instructables HQ is absolutely thrilled, because this is going to be awesome for the entire Instructables community.
Instructables will still be the same site you love: we'll keep the Instructables name and URL, the whole team is staying on, our policies haven't changed, you still hold copyright to your projects, we'll still run awesome contests, and the Robot isn't going anywhere. However, we'll now have the resources to make some improvements to the site I know our authors and community will love. Autodesk gives us the scale and support to grow and improve Instructables, build some great apps, and continue our mission of creating a positive impact on the world. Everyone on the Instructables team will become Autodesk employees, but we'll still wear our Robot t-shirts with pride.
Autodesk is a great cultural fit for Instructables. They make tools for creative people: they're the world leader in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software. Even if you don't recognize the name Autodesk, their software has powered the movies you watch, and designed the cars you drive and the buildings you work in. Instructables will be the community arm of the same team that makes 123D, SketchBook, Homestyler, and Pixlr, which will help provide creative tools, inspiration, and services for all types of creative people. Here's Carl Bass, Autodesk's CEO, talking more about his vision for the future of DIY.
We've had a great time building Instructables, and look forward to taking it to the next level. Thanks to the Instructables team for all their hard work, our investors including O'Reilly Alpha Tech Ventures and Baseline Ventures for believing in us, and to all the authors and community members who have made Instructables a great place to learn and share ideas.
I'm confident Autodesk will be a great home for Instructables, and will help us make Instructables an even better place to share your projects and ideas. I'm excited to join the Autodesk team, and get right to work. I'd also like to hear what you think: click here for info on an upcoming live Q&A event, and click here to suggest how we should co-opt the resources of a multi-national corporation to make Instructables even more awesome.
This announcement is duplicated on our blog here.
with the soft ware they produce, non friendly to each other, import/export unfriendly, module dependent, exorbitant licensing fees, and too many companies used to be excellent, until they bought them, then they become middle of road, or low end junk without support, did i forget "pay as u go support"
I am truly sorry for this site, so much good has come from it, and auto cad must definitely see where they can make more money than u do, make more fees or charges, and commercialize the site to auto cad garbage, otherwise they'd have left u alone

That's not just nitpicking, but a pretty important difference. There's really no way that Autodesk software would make any sense as a requirement for any Instructable or Instructables user. Revit for recipes? That would be a wasteland.
To get a better grasp of what this all means, I'd recommend checking out what Phil Torrone wrote about it here:
Meaning, could an international participant use a US shipping address if they won? I would volunteer to let someone ship to my address and then send it on to them.
Or would that make me a prize mule?
I absolutely love Sketchbook so I'll be very interested to see what other new software they develop, especially in the low/mid range market.
Re: software, I've learned about a ton of neat free and inexpensive stuff in the pipeline, and there's likely more I haven't heard about yet. ;)
I would love to see Autodesk develop something like Pepakura Designer that runs native on the Mac- that would be epic. :)
Cool. Feel free to keep the suggestions coming. ;)
Each day there is a new reason for me to learn English.
Thanks Eric and all staff! You are very good friends for me!
Seriously though, congrats to Robot and his minions, and here's hoping that Autodesk allows you all to continue doing what made the site worth buying in the first place.
(how did the musical go?)
The two most recent competitions are open only to entries from US and Canada. Is this now the norm, or is it just coincidence?
HQ is in the US, and has no subsidiary companies or offices in other countries, so is wholly and only subject to US (California) laws.
Instructables contests are not, though, a lottery, being subjectively judged by humans against pre-published criteria, not randomly selected by a computer or bucket full of balls.
The only restrictions, geographically-speaking, should be those set by individual sponsors.
We're working with the lawyers to make sure we're in compliance with all the local laws, and will be adding countries as fast as we can. There are some remarkably idiosyncratic regulations, so it's a bit of a process. This is something I'm specifically working on. In case anyone's interested, we're going to be trying to add countries in order of who has won the most prizes in previous contests - seems most fair/efficient.
Back to reviewing legalese! Hope I have good things to report soon. But as Eric keeps repeating, following the law is a Good Thing.
For the most part :)
As AndyGadget said:
So are you saying they're planning several more pages of entry T&Cs detailing the conditions of entry for each eligible country? Where I've looked in any detail at the T&Cs of any other similar competition I've always seen a catch-all to cover this.
Section 9 of the new T&Cs already states :-
"Representations. By entering the Contest, each entrant represents and warrants that: (a) the entrant meets all eligibility requirements of the Contest; (b) in entering and participating in the Contest, the entrant has complied and will comply in all respects with these Rules and all applicable statutes, regulations, and other laws; and . . . "
Surely, all that's required is a line which states that eligibility for the contest may vary in other jurisdictions and the onus is on the entrant to verify this.
If the restriction continues, it *will* damage the very community that AutoDesk thought they were buying...
Plus, the contests inspire us to generate ideas that would not otherwise be conceived.
And perhaps more importantly, it doesn't feel nice to be excluded from a group that we were once so happily part of.
On a more positive note...
I received a Robot tee shirt in the post a few weeks ago and haven't yet been woken in the dead of night by the sound my door being broken down by secret police.
I think it's safe to include Australia in competitions.

Surely, all that's required is a line which states that eligibility for the contest may vary in other jurisdictions and the onus is on the entrant to verify this.
I hope this is a sign that Autodesk is going to support the creative community a little better. I use Autocad professionally, but don't use it for my "making", CNC work, etc, because I can't afford it. Alibre Design has a $199 version for hobbists that is quite full featured. Autodesk has always supported students well, but I would love to see Maker-Friendly versions of their software for people who aren't using it to make tons of money.
These days not everyone gets into serious design through the usual educational track - supporting makers and hobbyists means growing a new community of future "full license" users who have had a chance to learn and become familiar with the software.
I object to your use of "the creative community" to differentiate presumably from the engineering users of AutoCad and the ilk, engineering is itself a creative endeavour.
I would love to have a real piece of design software that I could play around with on my Mac at home, but I've stuck with using
xfig because I don't like throwing Real Money at my toys. My lab engineer (at SLAC) uses SolidWorks for our real projects.
If you have suggestions, please share them!
On the upside, thanks for providing a bit of vote-of-confidence to offset all the naysayers. I'm not sure whether to read your comment positively or not, though: "no potential for cross-pollination" rather goes against the argument which both Eric and Phil Torrone have made about the acquisition -- that Autodesk wants to use Instructables as a way to learn about (or infiltrate :-) the maker community.
P.S. Has anyone noticed the subliminal photo at the top right of this page? Is a turn signal biking jacket indicating a left turn. Could this be a secret indication of where the robot is going? :-)
Instructables is a "Why" community - Autodesk is a "What" company.
- longtime lurker
It sure is an exciting move.
I sincerely hope it doesn't change the nice friendly, relaxed "vibe" that I enjoy so much.

So it's not as powerful as the PS3 or Xbox360, 95% of the games are garbage, and they've chosen to market to non-gamers, but how many of us like our Wii's?
I've got the dozen or so games that are worth your time on the Wii. When they really try, Nintendo's first party stuff can be excellent. Super Mario Galaxy I & II (especially the second), Twilight Princess, & Punch-Out were excellent. Was I the only person who gave a crap about Donkey Kong Country Returns? Because that was a frenetically paced game that tested your reflexes while being super-creative.
And the Virtual Console is a treasure trove from your childhood. Most non-licensed games are available, so I've got a few dozen downloaded. Foolishly thinking that only graphics matterred, I'd sold off all my old NES & SNES games when I got the next big things, and this has been one of the only routes for me to recreate those collections.
Sure, I spend more time with the PS3, and deservedly so. But the Wii does get regular rotation.

Today I will be showing you "how to draw Danny from Bravest Warriors", step by step. His full name is Daniel Vasquez and he is the inventor on the show. His animal weapon is a dog and it can turn into a sword or gatling gun which is pretty cool.

I'm having this problem on some game I'm coding which I think it's just math and has nothing to do with coding, that's why I'm posting it here and I'm going to simplify the problem without describing anything related to the actual code. In case you want to take a look, please see this question on Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5822740/how-to-correctly-get-the-terrain-height-at-point-x-z-in-a-scaled-terrain
Let's say I want to draw a line on screen, with width
w. To draw this line I need to do it in steps,
sw, by default 1 unit steps. But I do allow this width to be scaled to any other value. After selecting the new width,
dw, the new step needs to be calculated and I do it like this:
sw = dw / w. With this, the line is properly scaled and I can draw it just fine.
Now, for a given
x of that line I need to do some other calculations. Since I allowed the line to be scaled and it's not the original width. I need to calculate the real
nx, before anything else. I just need to work on the step value calculated before, like this:
nx = x / sw.
This will give me exactly the right
nx value I'm looking for. Everything's working so far.
Now, my real problem is when I need to introduce a little change to the step calculation. Instead of calculating the step like I said before (
sw = dw / w) I need to calculate it like this:
sw = dw / (w - 1).
The problem I'm actually having is in the next step. Given
x, how do I correctly calculate
nx as I did before? Math is not my strong suite and I tried many things that I would think were right but it was mostly trial and error. Suffice to say, nothing worked.

I have been using Ubuntu 10.04 for 2 years now and honestly, I am somewhat bored of Linux and wish to explore Unix (or Unix Like) now. I don't want a dumbed down version (like Ubuntu) anymore and want to experience Unix (or Linux if need be) in its true form. I basically want more to do with terminal and exploiting the open source nature of the OS.
My requirements are plainly
- No dumbing down. I'll take a few shots in my knee if necessary.
- Awesome interface from parallel/high performance programming. I use Intel MKL on a daily basis. I use the computer ONLY for programming. So, all else (Flash support, Firefox blah blah) is useless.
- It should be extremely extremely stable. (Debian like)
- It should have good community support and long term support. I don't like changing OSes every 6 months.
What would you suggest?
(I have tried to make this question as objective as possible. Please don't give me a "depends" answer. Just throw a name if need be) NetBSD vs FreeBSD vs OpenBSD vs Other Unix/UnixLike vs Linux (I would really want to try a BSD/Unix now but then, if my requirements aren't met, I don't mind a Linux)
P.S: I am not a N00B. I have tried Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora & RHEL but not long enough to make an informed choice.

The Fender Custom Shop will make any guitarist feel like a kid in a candy store. Located within the Fender headquarters in Corona, California, the Fender Custom Shop has been nicknamed "The Dream Factory", and it's pretty easy to see why. By building some of the finest musical equipment to ever grace a stage, the Fender Custom Shop is where the truly elite go for their instruments. The Fender Custom shop has been building absolutely breathtaking guitars since 1987. Working with names such as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and David Gilmour, the shop takes suggestions and input from these artists and incorporates them into their instruments. In addition to building brand new instruments, the Fender Custom Shop does painstaking research to replicate iconic instruments from the rich history of the electric guitar.
Now these amazing instruments are available to you, meaning you can own your own storied piece of Fender's history. Each of these guitars is built under the supervision of a single luthier, meaning they're all one-of-a-kind works of art. So which one is right for you? Well, that might be as easy as choosing your favorite guitarist. Are you a fan of Procol Harum guitarist Robin Trower? Then check out his Stratocaster Electric Guitar. Maybe you're more of a Rory Gallagher fan? Then you'll love his Signature Electric Guitar, which is practically a near perfect clone of his legendary Strat.
If you're more interested in an era than a specific artist, the Fender Custom Shop builds plenty of instruments that will help you recreate the time period of your choosing brilliantly. If you're a fan of the sound of the sixties, for example, you'll definitely adore the '60s Strat FMT Master Built by Greg Fessler. The impeccable attention to detail is what sets this Strat apart, as well as the gorgeous ash body. If the fifties are more your style, have a look at the 1959 Esquire Custom Relic Electric Guitar Master Built by Dale Wilson. This masterpiece is such a spot-on relic that you'll never believe it's a brand new guitar. These guitars are sure to become heirlooms, passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, we'd be remiss if we didn't take a moment to mention the crowning achievement of the Fender Custom Shop, the Stevie Ray Vaughan Lenny Tribute Stratocaster Electric Guitar. This guitar is an absolute love letter to the legendary bluesman. Identical down to the smallest of details, this guitar even features the customized neck that was a gift from ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons and an autograph from legendary baseball great, Mickey Mantle on the back. An amazing testament to the craftsmanship of the Fender Custom Shop, this guitar has to be seen to be believed. The Fender Custom Shop is truly a musician's playground. Hand-crafted, these guitars will change the way you see and play musical instruments forever.

I've never seen a mold that would shape them - any tips?
This is an art. Anyone who appreciates REAL tacos, can understand that this is not easy. God Bless anybody that can pull this off accurately!
I have it down to a science. I learned from my grandfather. His biggest secret was in the fork you use. We use cooking forks. 3 prong cooking forks (most of the ones I see on google have two prongs). You can use regular forks too, but they arent made for cooking in high temp oil.
First you must get the oil HOT. 350 atleast, preferably 400 degrees. Just before it starts smoking. You need really high oil heat.
Once the oil is PLENTY hot, you hold a tortilla in one hand, and drop it in the oil halfway. It should be at 90 degrees, with your hand still holding the dry half of the tortilla. (Note: keep your cooking fork ready for the next steps)
If your oil is hot enough, it will cook that half of the tortilla almost instantly. Let it cook until it hardens up, which should be less than a minute.
Once the first half the bent tortilla is crisp, use the cooking fork to grab the tortilla half that is crisp and cooked. You will flip it here, putting the dry tortilla half (that was in your hand) into the oil, while the cooked half, sits above the oil with your fork. Now it should cook the other half of the taco shell.
The art is using the fork well enough to create a gap at the base of the shell (for meat or whatever you stuff with). And then flipping it and holding it with the fork while the other side crispens and finishes up.
I would like to make a youtube video that shows this process, and it truly is an artform. Many people make great tacos but horrible tortilla shells. I grew up near Mexico, I was born 4 miles from Matamoros. I have seen my share of taco cooking, in the strangest of places. The best tacos Ive ever had use this method. And the best taco makers Ive ever seen wouldnt do this any other way (by hand).
It's hard to do this without burning your hand(s). Be careful. The dry tortilla absorbs the hot oil, even when your holding it over the grease in the first step. Youd be surprised how a corn tortilla will drink the oil right up to your hand.
Give it practice. You will mess up a few tortillas. Dont worry about that, they make great quesadillas or nachos :)
No mold required!
Simply heat about an inch of oil in a frying pan (less oil if you're making less shells - this is enough for about a dozen), then cook small, flat corn tortillas one at a time.
Cook for about 15 seconds on each side. Once you see bubbles on the tortilla, you're all done if you like soft shells.
If you like more crispy shells, go ahead and fold the tortilla in half, and continue to cook. Keep flipping it over so you don't get it too browned on either side.
You can blot the tortilla with paper towels if you'd like.
Similar topic - you can make your own shell for taco salad by placing a large flour (burrito-size) tortilla in an oven-safe bowl (shaped however you'd like) and putting a big ball of tinfoil inside it. You can also do the opposite - place the bowl upside-down and drape the tortilla over it. Either way, Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes until it's lightly browned, and you're done! When you remove the tinfoil and the bowl, the tortilla will hold its own shape.
I've seen Alton Brown make one out of a large piece of tin foil, folded over several times and molded into a taco shape. See pictures at the bottom of this article: http://www.ourbestbites.com/2010/07/beef-tacos-plus-make-your-own-taco.html
(I haven't actually tried this myself)
What I've seen for sale didn't look like molds -- they looked like tongs, but as JustRightMenus has pointed out, you don't need molds ... but you can get a taco mold if you want (that particular one's for baked tortillas, not fried, though).

I've noticed when a question is re-pushed to the top of the question stack (and thereby making it onto the home page of Stack Overflow) it can be tricky to figure out exactly what about that question (or one of its answers) has changed to warrant its re-push. It would be great if alongside "oldest", "newest", and "votes" answers could be sorted by "active", those that have had comments added, edits made, etc., going to the top of the pile. That way (for example) active threads of discussion about particular answers can receive fresh attention.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Well, on the homepage you can now click on through to the activity itself:
Add link to most recent activity of a question
Additionally there is the (experimental) timeline view:
Feedback Request: New Timeline Question View
I decided to drop the "oldest" answers sort in favor of "active" answers sort. Since it's kind of redundant with "newest" (same thing, just in opposite order) whereas "active" is different in a way that is actually useful.
Make use of the not-so-easy-to-get-to-unless-you-hack-the-URL feature of the timeline view.
There you will see sorted top down the last activity made to the question as a whole. That includes comments and last edited answer revisions.
You can even make use of a quick JavaScript bookmarklet to jump to that view.
If Greasemonkey is your sort of thing, you can add that to your view set.
I was thinking that old comments could be shaded, so that the new ones would stand out.
Activity is an ambiguous thing. When one person talks about edits, another person talks about comments.
Sorting by last edit time would be something both easily implemented and would probably be a nice addition to the site (when time allows).
But comments are a whole nother beast and something that no feature like this should be created for.
When a user clicks on links in either the Recent Activity or any of the tabs of his user profile page, the link takes the user to the answer link within a question that is the area of the user's input (the question or answer that the user provided or commented on).
When you reach the link, the post that was the target is highlighted and the highlight slowly fades. This could be a good idiom for what you are looking for. One idea would be to redirect the link on the homepage to the area that was updated. Though a great idea for those who loiter on the homepage, it could end up being confusing to the casual visitor.
Perhaps a good idea would be to maintain the fading highlight on the updated answer within the post for an extended period when coming from the homepage. This would allow those interested in what has changed, ie those who browse the homepage knowing that old posts are sometimes updated, to scroll and find the modification (assuming it wasn't a delete).

Bipolar disorder affects nearly 6 million
|Harlan Didrickson poses for portrait, August 17, 2012, outside his Rogers Park neighborhood home. He has written about his bipolar disorder and also blogs about his cat Charlie, at left. (Chris Walker/Chicago Tribune/MCT)
He lived with his partner of more than two decades in a handsome Victorian on a leafy North Side Chicago street. He worked as manager of executive and administrative services for a high-powered architectural firm, where he made hospitality and travel arrangements for large meetings and oversaw budgets that ran into millions of dollars.
He was not the kind of person who would go to lunch with friends and come home having spent $4,500 on a puppy and a month of obedience training.
Or who would get up at 2 a.m., go to Dunkin' Donuts, then drive to Indiana and back, snacking on Munchkins.
But that's who he became.
Four years ago, his life was upended by bipolar II disorder, the same illness recently diagnosed in U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
This is not Jackson's story. People with the disorder - nearly 6 million in the U.S. - have unique experiences with the illness, which cycles between moods of manic energy and deep depression.
"The symptoms of bipolar disorder can be very different from one person compared to another," said Dr. John Zajecka, a psychiatrist with Rush University Medical Center who specializes in mood disorders.
Manic states leave some people euphoric, others irritable.
"There are people who can function their whole lives in these hypomanic states," though they may lose marriages, jobs and money, Zajecka said.
Depression, too, can appear in a variety of ways. Some sufferers stay in either mania or depression for decades; others cycle between them many times a day. And people respond differently to treatment.
But Didrickson's struggle provides one look at how bipolar II disorder and its treatment can affect a life.
And he does have one key factor in common with Jackson. Like the congressman, Didrickson, 54, had weight-loss surgery before being diagnosed with bipolar. He had a gastric bypass procedure; Jackson had a duodenal switch.
It became a serious complication in his treatment. The weight-loss procedure, which causes the body to absorb fewer calories, prevented him from absorbing the full dose of his antidepressant medication.
Didrickson's illness began when he started feeling extremely stressed at work. He considered himself skilled at his job but felt beleaguered by office politics.
"I felt as though I was fighting a lot of fights on different fronts in my life, and that I didn't have the wherewithal, the energy," he said. "I was profoundly unhappy."
He changed jobs, twice. He still felt miserable. And he also felt trapped, having to do work he now found unbearably stressful.
More than 60 percent of people with bipolar engage in substance abuse as they try to self-medicate their inner pain. Didrickson was among them. At night he would wash down some hydrocodone, an opiate he had been prescribed for a back injury, with beer. He would stay up till 4 a.m. watching TV, then take Ambien to fall asleep.
"At 6 o'clock I woke up, got dressed and went to work. I was probably still high," he said. "Then somewhere around noon, I would crash. I would go to the men's bathroom, go sit on the toilet and fall asleep."
His partner, Nick Harkin, a publicist with an entertainment and lifestyle marketing firm, had no idea how deeply troubled Didrickson had become.
But then Didrickson didn't show up on time for a planned out-of-town getaway. When he arrived the next day, he was morose, secretive and exhausted. "It was a very abrupt shift," Harkin said. "It was quite obvious that something was very seriously wrong."
Didrickson was thinking of ending their relationship, he told Harkin. And he wanted to move to California's Death Valley. He wanted to start a new life.
"I was falling apart," Didrickson said. "It was this desperate: 'I will do anything to get out from under this pressure.' It was like having a heart attack, and if you don't get out from under it, it will kill you."
Back home, he called a friend who had once been his therapist. She asked if he was suicidal.
"I was, like, 'Of course I am. I think about it all the time,'" he said. "'It's the only comfort I have.'"
She told him to see a psychiatrist. He did, and was told he had depression - a common initial diagnosis for people with bipolar, who generally seek treatment during a depressed phase of the illness.
The antidepressant the doctor prescribed didn't work. Didrickson developed memory problems, to the point where he forgot how to do simple tasks like using a phone.
"I could not take a shower, because I couldn't recall the sequence of activities . turning on the water, stepping into the spray, getting wet, washing," he said.
He lost 40 pounds and neglected bathing and grooming. And yet there were also times when Didrickson felt powerful, energetic, nearly like a superhero. He could do anything he wanted, no matter how dangerous or destructive, with no consequences.
He ran red lights. He drove the wrong way down one-way streets. "I felt like I was back to being in charge, like I was back to saying, 'It's going to go like this because I said so,'" Didrickson said. "I felt kind of emancipated.
"I thought, 'Wow, this (antidepressant) Paxil is really working.'"
But it wasn't. A psychopharmacologist gave him a new diagnosis: bipolar II disorder, a form of bipolar disorder with less extreme mood swings.
No antidepressant worked. Then a friend with bipolar recommended Adderall, the stimulant often prescribed for attention deficit disorder.
His doctor prescribed a standard amount. It did nothing.
So Didrickson took another dose. And he felt a little better.
"I started to feel buoyant," he said. "I always talk about feeling underwater. I felt like I was finally breaking the surface."
He didn't know why he needed a higher dose. But then he came upon online message board postings by people who had undergone gastric bypass surgery and then found that their antidepressant medicines stopped working.
The gastric bypass surgery he had undergone years earlier to lose weight, he concluded, was keeping his body from absorbing the medicine.
Indeed, Zajecka said, gastric bypass surgery can change how people absorb medicines given for bipolar disorder.
The Mayo Clinic statement announcing Jackson's diagnosis also noted that the weight-loss surgery he had "can change how the body absorbs food, liquids, vitamins, nutrients and medications."
Many people with bipolar disorder are able to resume their previous lives.
"It's one of the most treatable illnesses we have in medicine," Zajecka said. "If it's diagnosed properly and treated appropriately, there's no reason they can't get back to resuming a normal lifestyle and their normal goals in life."
But Didrickson has been unable to go back to work and still has periods of depression and mania, though much milder ones. He manages the house, cooks and has taken up woodworking.
"Going out in the evening can be very, very, challenging for him," Harkin said. "If we go to a concert or a dance performance and it's too noisy, he'll have to leave. If ... there's someone in a film who's violent or cruel, that's very upsetting to him too."
"It's nothing like I thought my life would be," Didrickson said.
"The good thing, I guess, is that I don't hold on to yesterdays," he said. "That's a blessing, I think, frankly. But I also don't have tomorrow. My life isn't about tomorrow."
He has gone back to writing, which he did in college. He writes a blog about his experiences with bipolar, under the name T.M. Mulligan. The moniker stands for "Taking My Mulligan."
"I'm having my do-over," he said. "I'm taking the second chance."

Ghost Hunting Academy {RP}
would like
to have even numbers on the teams.
No less than
but no more than
There can be 5.
People can only play a guy and a girl on each team but can play multiple people at the academy.
Only the top students are allowed to go ghost hunting.
Please PM me, or Singergirl509 before joining. We will discuss it with eachorgwe and we will let you know as a soon as we can.
Please, no powers! Anyone who makes a charrie with a power will get kicked.
Follow all RP rules.
There are two schools, both ghost hunting academies. Each academy only has one gender, boy or girl. The school is pretty normal, but very different, too. Each school thinks its better than the other schools, and almost whenever they see the opposite gender, a fight usually happens.
This month is Ghost Hunting Month, a tradition where the top students of each school get to go ghost hunting, with out a teacher, to a haunted house picked by the headmaster and mistress of both schools. Whatever school gets the most points, by actually finding a ghost or getting proof, will be the winner, and will have something to brag about.
But, the ghost hunting business dosent always go smoothly. Someone from the other team could sabotage the other team, and sometimes a vengeful student that didnt make the cut is scheming something. Perhaps your proof or ghost isnt real, and you might be the laughing stock of the entire school, if not both.
But, the ghosts, if there are any, may or may not like being hunted down. Some kids might get injured, some might even be trapped. Will your charrie make friends with the ghost or become a enemy? Your charrie has to make many risks, and will these risks be okay, or would they regret taking it later? Its all up to you.
Your haunted house will have a murder that happened a long time ago happen it in. The headmaster and mistress have told you that it involves an infant, and a angry parent who has hopes of catching the murder in the house, even though the murder happened a long time ago. You have to figure out who the infant was, and what parent is haunting the house. The infant was killed by a knife, they told you.
Girls House Murder:
The victim of this murder was named John Douglas, and he was stabbed in the head, and died October 17th, 1906. It is uknown if the ghost is the mom, who loved the son very much, or the father, who loved him too, or both. The ghost mostly haunts the boys bedroom, for that is where he was killed.
Boys house Murder:
The victim of this murder was named Sally Ronalds. She was stabbed multiple times in the back, and died. The victim was left in the bath tub, and the ghost haunts the little girls bathroom the most, checking to see if the girls body has been taken away, buried properly. They think the ghost is a man, because her mother died at birth. The murder happened December 12th 1907.
Top Student?:
Why are they at the academy?
My charrie:
Name: Kayla Swanson
Age: 17
Top Student?: Yes
Apperance: Blue eyes, black hair, and tall, has a nose peircing
Flaws: Rude,demanding,terribly vain, very impatient
Strengths: Sense of humor
Why are they at the academy?: Kayla expressed a intrest in ghosts at age 10, and her parents sent her away happily; they did not like her at all.
Please make all opening paragraphs when they are awaiting the results.
Opening Paragraph:
Kayla's stomach was in a knot as she waited the results of who would make the Ghost Hunting squad. Kayla was in a crowd of other students by the bullitien board. She took a deep breath, hoping it would help her calm down, but her stomach was still anxious. She wondered if anyone was as nervous as she would. The headmistress was supposed to come at 8:30. She took a deep breath. She knew she would make it, she knew she would. She met all the requirements. She was smart, and she knew a lot about ghosts.
She would bet on the fact that she would make it, for she was incredibly vain and thought she was the best. She needed to think about something else. She wondered where her two friends Darlene and Sarah were. She knew Sarah would probably be trying to out run a mob of boys and she knew Darlene would be scaring a mob of boys. She smiled at that thought. She thought about her parents for a moment, and her expression turned into a frown. She thought about the beatings, the yelling, and the relief of getting sent away to this school. It had everything she needed, friends, ghosts, and education. But it also had things she hated as well, curfews, the mean girls, and crabby teachers.
Suddenly, the atmopshere of the room changed, and Kayla stopped breathing for a moment. She could hear stilleto's pounding against delicate tile floor. She knew who it was, she knew. She started to look, but turned her head away. She didn't want to see who it was, in case she was dissapointed. She took a deep breath, but didn't turn around.
I can't chicken out like this. I will make the squad, I know I will.
She turned around,hesitantly, and saw a lady with hear blonde hair pinned up in a bun, and piercing brown eyes. The lady was smiling and holding something in her hands. The headmisstress. She was stunning underneath the light of the hallway. For some reason, her brown eyes twinkled. She was clad in a red dress shirt, and black pants. She pinned up the paper on the bulliten board, and people crowded around to look. Kayla took the deepest breath she took, and stepped forward to look at the paper. She almost fainted.

hello everyone,
My kdenlive encountered a problem, version is 0.9.6. The menu disappeared, anyone know how to restore it?
Thanks so much.
Thu, 06/20/2013 - 11:49
So you have no menu items at all ? Or are you missing windows that you used to have.
Thu, 06/20/2013 - 14:01
Are you using Ubuntu with Unity? Then the menu bar is moved from the application window to this system bar on the top of the screen, and hidden unless you go there with the mouse cursor - a bit like on a Mac.
Thu, 06/20/2013 - 17:45
Okay sorry, I didn't want to imply that you don't know what you are doing.
It's just that the window decoration or actually the whole kdenlive window in your screenshot looks exactly like when I start it in Unity - and there's no menu bar either, so I think it looks kinda normal.
What distro are you using?
Fri, 06/21/2013 - 07:40
Hmm. Isn't the close window buttons on the left hand side of the window a unity desktop thing? luckyyang - could some update given you unity without your knowledge?
Fri, 06/21/2013 - 10:31
Ubuntu comes with Unity by default since 12.x I think. So did you switch to another desktop (KDE, Gnome Shell, ?) by installing a desktop package? In that case, normally Unity is removed I think but maybe there are some Unity packages left that cause strange behaviour.
Mon, 06/24/2013 - 20:20
Maybe you have to remove some packages related to Unity that cause this behaviour when using Gnome.
On kubuntu for example, I have "thunderbird-globalmenu" installed, which is "Unity appmenu integration for Thunderbird", which doesn't make sense with KDE.

Instead of the typical hamburger, fries and drink, I chose to make a meal that represented summer in a single image. Of course the soda I drew is a soft drink that comes from a fountain machine, but other than that, the hot dog and hamburger are traditional items that fill the bellies of folks across the world. Even though it may not seem like it now, this lesson is going to be fun, exciting and it may even make you hungry. Of course you can add additional items like some french fries or chips, I decided to keep it simple. Have fun drawing food for kids guys and remember to grill up some yums.

Obama Is Urged to Get Tough
Supporters Disagree Over Debate Approach as Poll Finds Romney Taking the Lead
LOS ANGELES—President Barack Obama is getting conflicting advice on how to rebound from his listless debate performance last week as he meets with donors and supporters in a swing through California.
Those calls took on a new urgency as a Pew Research Center poll conducted after the debate and released Monday showed Republican Mitt Romney surging to a lead over Mr. Obama among likely voters, 49% to 45%.
One Democratic official, while having his picture taken with Mr. Obama at a weekend fundraising event in Los Angeles, used a vulgarity in urging Mr. Obama to be more assertive in the debates. The official said Mr. Obama responded with a smile.
State of the Race
Poll Tracker
WSJ's guide to the latest political polls
Former President Bill Clinton said such a confrontational approach would be a mistake. Mr. Clinton, who had appeared with Mr. Obama at a donor meeting in Los Angeles on Sunday, raised the issue when talking to a group of donors the next morning. He noted that the next debate has a town-hall format, with questions from voters.
"He said that his advice would be to directly engage the audience members and make it about their lives," said one Obama donor in attendance. "He emphasized that if either of them really tries to take a question and use it to attack the other, that's going to come across poorly."
Mr. Romney came across better than the president in the Oct. 3 debate, officials in both parties say, and his campaign has since gained momentum. The new Pew poll showed a 12-point swing from a mid-September survey that had found Mr. Romney trailing by 8 percentage points.
The Pew poll's sample of likely voters included 36% who identified themselves as Republicans, 31% as Democrats and 30% as independents. Its September survey included 29% who said they lean more toward the Republican party, 39% Democratic and 30% who said they were independents.
Both the Pew survey and a post-debate poll by Gallup found the two candidates tied among registered voters.
The debate was clearly on the president's mind as he began the California trip Sunday. Speaking at a fundraising event in Los Angeles, Mr. Obama complimented the entertainers, who included singers Katy Perry and Stevie Wonder, and said, "They're such great friends, and they just perform flawlessly night after night. I can't always say the same."
Mr. Obama tends to joke publicly when he's embarrassed by his own mistakes, aides said, as he did earlier this year after he was caught on a hot microphone telling then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would have more flexibility on negotiating a missile defense shield after the November election.
Mr. Obama acknowledges his poor performance, aides say, but no one is hitting the panic button. "He understands that he needs to do better," one senior aide said of Mr. Obama.
Obama campaign aides said the president needs to come up with snappier retorts in the next debate while bringing more energy to the occasion. They say they knew this was a challenge from the beginning, given Mr. Obama's penchant for lengthy, nuanced answers.
In the final stretch of the campaign, Mr. Obama is surrounding himself with some old and trusted friends. Flying on Air Force One with him on the California trip were Marty Nesbitt and Mike Ramos. Mr. Nesbitt and his family have vacationed with the Obamas, including a trip to Asheville, N.C. in 2010. Mr. Nesbitt's wife delivered the first couple's two daughters. Mr. Ramos was a classmate of Mr. Obama's at the Punahou School, the preparatory school he attended in Hawaii.
Said one Obama campaign official said Monday: "He's always better when those guys are around."
Messrs. Nesbitt and Ramos joined Mr. Obama during a stop in Keene, Calif., where the president dedicated a memorial for Cesar E. Chavez, the founder of the United Farm Workers.
Mr. Ramos stood in the back of the room as Mr. Obama spoke at a small fundraising dinner Sunday night with several Hollywood stars, applauding his remarks and listening intently.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa shook hands with Mr. Obama at a Monday event and told him: "You know we're going to win, don't you?"
"And he said, 'Yes we are,' " Mr. Villaraigosa recalled.

Program Tracks
Each year five applicants are chosen to begin their residency here. Three residents are matched to the clinical track (five years) and two residents are matched to the research track (seven years). All residents are required to complete their general surgery internship year at UI Hospitals and Clinics. During the internship year, each resident's schedule will include a two-month rotation in Otolaryngology.
Resident Research
During the five years of otolaryngology training, each resident enjoys two research rotations to explore those aspects of research that are of interest to them.
Clinical Track
The clinical training program includes five years of concentrated clinical study and application in all aspects of otolaryngology – head and neck surgery. The PGY- 2 resident begins their training with a 6-week intensive Basic Science course. This is divided into an anatomy component that includes a supervised cadaver dissection and the lecture series presenting the resident with over 150 lecture hours; comprehensively detailing the study of otolaryngology and all its interrelated disciplines.
Research Track
The combined seven-year clinical research program is designed for an enhanced residency experience with a focus on a career in academics. After an internship year, the resident pursues two years of research, followed by four years of clinical training. The program's strength lies in its flexibility. Residents have a research experience tailored to their interests. Although many applicants have prior research experience, it is not a requirement. All levels of training are supported - from an advisory role for residents with previous Ph.D. experience, to a mentorship for those beginning research careers. Research residents are free to pursue their own research interests with mentors from the Department of Otolaryngology or any other department at the University of Iowa. Research opportunities at the University of Iowa are vast. The University boasts four Howard Hughes investigators, numerous members of the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine, and ranks 30th nationally in funding from the NIH. The Department of Otolaryngology provides salary support, funding for travel to conferences and meetings, and an allowance for lab supplies. Many residents have successfully secured outside funding for their projects. The Department also evaluates, on a case-by-case basis, continued financial support for the research residents' projects after they have completed their two years of research. This initiative has allowed many research residents to secure NIH funding soon after completion of their residency.
The Residency Program – The Team Approach
The leadership of the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery is committed to improving the professional and personal experiences of residents in the program. The team approach was created and implemented not only to expand on the learning capacity for Iowa residents but to generate more personal time and flexibility. It allows residents to take charge of their patients as part of a continuous care process and ultimately results in more OR time earlier in their training.
The Department recognizes the importance of a healthy work/life balance. Residents enjoy more time to study and more free time as a result of the team approach. Weekly working hours are capped and limited to ensure the well-being of our residents. Furthermore all of our residents enjoy free house staff benefits.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The Treasury Department announced plans Monday to sell the last of its shares in bailed-out insurer AIG.
The planned offering comes four years after AIG was crippled by the financial crisis and required a government bailout that eventually swelled to $182 billion. The government at one point owned 92% of the firm.
Treasury now owns 15.9% of AIG, or 234.2 million shares. The department did not reveal an offering price for these shares, though they're worth $7.8 billion at Monday's closing price of $33.36.
Following completion of the offering, the department will still hold warrants allowing it to purchase AIG stock in the future. An AIG (AIG, Fortune 500) spokesman declined to comment. Shares slid 1.2% in after-hours trading Monday.
In September, the Treasury Department sold $20.7 billion worth of AIG shares, reducing its stake in the company from 53.4% to 15.9%. At that time, Treasury said it and the Federal Reserve together had generated a $15 billion profit on the AIG rescue, having recovered $197 billion on a $182 commitment. To top of page

Suppose that $u:[0,\delta]\rightarrow\mathbf{R}$, $u\in C^2((0,\delta))\cap C([0,\delta])$ such that $$u(0)=0,$$ $$u>0 \ \ in \ (0,\delta],$$$$u''>0$$ Then $u'>0$ in $(0,\delta)$.
Firstly, $u''>0$ in $(0,\delta)$ implies that $u'$ is strictly increasing in $(0,\delta)$. Hence we need only show that for any given $x \in (0,\delta)$, $u'(x)\geq 0$.
So let $x \in (0,\delta)$. By MVT, $\exists c\in(0,x)$ such that $u'(c)=\frac{u(x)-u(0)}{x-0}=\frac{u(x)}{x}>0$ as $u(0)=0$ and $u(x)>0$. As $u'$ is strictly increasing this implies $u'(x)>0$ as needed.
The condition $u''>0$ tells that the function is concave, that is the curve is facing upwards in the coordinate axes. Just like $y=x^2$. For this to happen while $u>0$ be positive, while $u(0)=0$, $u$ either has a local minima at $0$ or is merely increasing from $0$ towards the positive side of $x$-axis. So it's 1st derivative is positive when you are approaching the curve at $0$ from the positive side.
Just imagine the curve with these conditions.
Suppose that there is no such $\epsilon$. Then on every interval of the form $(0,\epsilon)$, and in particular on the interval $(0,\delta)$, there is a number $x_0$ such that $u'(x_0)\leq0$. As noted, we can take $x_0\in(0,\delta)$. Since $u''>0$ on this interval, we find $u'(x)<0$ for all $x\in(0,x_0)$. Now apply the mean value theorem to $u$ at two points $x_1,x_2\in(0,x_0)$ to obtain a contradiction.

How many of you actually believe that Justice Sotamayor will halt the
"numerous couples" that are getting married each day? Will she really
see this as an affront to Utah or determine that a majority cannot vote away the
rights and happiness of any minority? It will be interesting to see how quickly
this request for a stay will be denied.
To those of you that say the LGBTQ community is out to destroy families, please take a serious look at who we are. We are the favorite aunts and uncles in our extended families. We are the good neighbors who shovel snow from the sidewalks of the houses next door. We are the volunteers at homeless shelters and soup kitchens. We do these things next to you, yet you want to deny us the same opportunities to marry and publicly commit to the one we love.

"The application notes that "numerous" same-sex marriages are

"And each one is an affront not only to the interests of the state and its citizens in being able to define marriage through ordinary democratic channels, but also to this court's unique role as final arbiter for the profoundly important constitutional question it so carefully preserved in Windsor," wrote Monte Stewart, a Boise-based marriage law attorney retained by the state."
If this wasn't so serious I would laugh. What the heck...LOL!!

I don't call it an affront. Pretty harsh language. However the SCOTUS did leave it up to the states in Windsor because it didn't want to address the issue. Why not? Because they prefer to only deal with the issue at hand (Windsor case only) and not address an area outside of the specifics of the case. Oh, they will talk about that "issue" as part of a decision but not go beyond the scope of the issue at hand (Windsor). With that said Shelby has just fast tracked this issue back to the SCOTUS. This will be resolved.

Good move by our state officials!
Edmund Burke is often cited as the source for "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
It is good to see that good men, and women, in Utah are willing to do something, and put their tax dollars behind this effort to stop what some say is evil, either on moral grounds, or on the grounds that it subverts the powers of the states and their citizens to define marriage in the traditional form it has been for thousands of years.
A judge declaring that the sky is green and that water is dry does not make it true, any more than their declaring that a same sex relationship is a "marriage." They can make something legal, but that does not necessarily make it right or moral.

.... Really? Are you conjuring up some organized and zealous group, bent on defeating the rights of those in another State, due to a whipped up paranoia created by a few?
Are you comparing the tiny mormon minority in California, which overcame the much larger Gay population by calling in thousands of their out of State church members?
... I am sad for the idea that someone can be an American and understand the Constitution to mean that the larger groups get their way, and some taxpayers lose rights that other Americans have. Reminds me of that thing in Missouri in the 1840s.

Not sure what makes you think that the population of Utahns who favor marriage equality are a "very small minority in this state". As you know, when Ammendment 3 passed in Utah, 44% of the voters were opposed to it. Is 44% a really small minority? Of course, the number of people supporting marriage equality in Utah and the world have only gone up since Ammendment 3 passed. 80% of the youth of the United States now favor marriage equality. So yeah, Supreme Court decisions aside, the narrow and backwards view of marriage that caused Ammendment 3 won't survive much longer.

In June, SCOTUS struck down a key part of Voting Right Act, because they ruled
that Obama administration could not use old time data to justify the legitimacy
of that law in today's situation.
Those judges in 10th circuit and SCOTUS justices are not blind nor deaf, they know public opinion on SSM is evolving fast, majority of American and 70-80% of young people support SSM, and I doubt they would uphold amendment 3 because people in Utah voted that way a decade ago.
When 10th circuit denied stay request, they already indicated that state is not likely to prevail. Now AG is wasting 2+ million tax dollars to hire expensive outside lawyers to do the job for his office. I mean, if AG and his team are not capable of doing the job for state, why should they still hold the office and keep on collecting their paychecks?

@ cats: we probably should not lump all posters on here as being on the pro-gay
marriage side when in fact not all are. The issue will go before the SCOTUS.
They will have to rule on the constitutionality of the issue. I do understand
the concerns of those of us who believe that one day the issue could be the
attempted forcing of same sex marriages as it relates to religious institutions.
Will the LGBT community insist one day that churches be required to perform
marriages or else lose their tax exempt status? I can tell you that the LDS
Church and the Catholic Church would say no. I would at least hope so.
For some in the LGBT community they would call them bigots. I disagree. All of us are flawed. Both religions have had their issues put out there in the public domain over this and other events. But at least people know exactly what both the Catholic and LDS Church believe in this. Better to know than to have someone lie to you about their beliefs. An old saying of "better the devil you know then the wolf in sheep's clothing". It applies here.

While gay marriage is a controversial issue, What has happened here is an affront because a judge has taken away the rights of the residents that live here to choose what they want for their state. This could be on any issue. judges should not decide something that the residents should decide for themselves. This is a states rights issue and must be pursued on that grounds. If not to stop this ruling but the next ruling that is equally not in the interest of our residents and their choices and values.

I agree with the "trolling" post above. It does seem a bit strange when
1/3 - 1/2 or more, of the comments accepted on blogs related to the same-sex
marriage issue are not even from the state of Utah--and therefore we are left to
assume that they do not reside in the state, and therefore are part of neither
the majority nor the minority of the state.
Generally, I blow past any comment that is from TN, VA, CA, MI, etc., because I want to hear and read about what the citizens of MY state are thinking, you know the citizens of the state where I live, work, and pay taxes. If I want to know the Nation's view of things then I can turn on a National News media outlet and scan the thoughts of those outside my state--but those are not the comments.
So, I ask those outside my state to show some respect and please refrain from coming onto a local news outlet and tell Utahns what they should think or do, let us do that for ourselves. And if a Utahn comes to your local media, you should respectfully ask the same of them.
