In .NET, under which circumstances should I use

We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
In .NET, under which circumstances should I use
What advantage(s) does using this method give me?
SuppressFinalize should only be called by a class that has a finalizer. It's informing the Garbage Collector (GC) that
The recommended IDisposable pattern when you have a finalizer is:
Normally, the CLR keeps tabs on objects with a finalizer when they are created (making them more expensive to create). SuppressFinalize tells the GC that the object was cleaned up properly and doesn't need to go onto the finalizer queue. It looks like a C++ destructor, but doesn't act anything like one.
The SuppressFinalize optimization is not trivial, as your objects can live a long time waiting on the finalizer queue. Don't be tempted to call SuppressFinalize on other objects mind you. That's a serious defect waiting to happen.
Design guidelines inform us that a finalizer isn't necessary if your object implements IDisposable, but if you have a finalizer you should implement IDisposable to allow deterministic cleanup of your class.
Most of the time you should be able to get away with IDisposable to clean up resources. You should only need a finalizer when your object holds onto unmanaged resources and you need to guarantee those resources are cleaned up.
Note: Sometimes coders will add a finalizer to debug builds of their own IDisposable classes in order to test that code has disposed their IDisposable object properly.
you're telling the system that whatever work would have been done in the finalizer has already been done, so the finalizer doesn't need to be called. From the .NET docs:
In general, most any Dispose() method should be able to call GC.SupressFinalize(), because it should clean up everything that would be cleand up in the finalizer.
SupressFinalize is just something that provides an optimization that allows the system to not bother queing the object to the finalizer thread. A properly written Dispose()/finalizer should work properly with or without a call to GC.SupressFinalize().
Generally when implementing the IDisposable pattern when you do not need to finalize your object. Check out http://www.blackwasp.co.uk/IDisposable.aspx for examples.
That method must be called on the Dispose method of objects that implements the IDisposable, in this way the GC wouldn't call the finalizer another time if someones calls the Dispose method.

What To Say To Family Members With Cancer?
Last Modified: May 8, 2012
If a member of my family has pancreatic cancer, what should I do? I feel so worthless. I want to help, but don't know what to do or say. Please help.
Ursina Teitelbaum, MD, Medical Oncologist at Penn Medicine responds:
The question regarding a family or friend with cancer is a very important one as well and I really appreciate the question about how to best suppor them. I think offering a ride or a meal are always welcome. I am always impressed with the friends and family that spend time in our chemotherapy suites and radiation oncology waiting rooms.
Just being there is more important than saying the right thing and patients appreciate it.

7 Insane Ads That Have No Clue What They're Selling
#3. Criminally Negligent Man-Bird, for Insurance ApparentlyWhat it looks like:
The ad starts with two women driving a car and suddenly slamming on the brakes in the middle of the street for no apparent reason. What follows is one of the greatest exchanges ever recorded between two master thespians as both actresses manage to miss their cues in a five second whirlwind of teased hair and stilted delivery.
First lady: "What's that?"
(inexplicable pause)
Second lady: "Do you have insurance on this car?"
Realizing the driver doesn't have car insurance, the passenger comes to the obvious conclusion that it must have been Eagle Man who landed on their roof just now.
The obvious conclusion.
Eagle Man then recites a pseudo-rhyme in a voice that sounds like Leelee Sobieski before literally shitting an egg out onto the top of the vehicle.
The ad ends with Eagle Man's birdshit hatchling clutching a crib sheet of local insurance rates in its beak.
What it really is:
It appears Eagle Man is selling low rate SR-22 forms, which is proof of insurance required for people who tend to have a lot of accidents. So on one hand, he's targeting risky drivers who need coverage, which makes perfect sense. What does not make sense is the fact that in this ad, said driver only had an accident because fucking Eagle Man landed on her car.
Reading between the lines, we're thinking the guys behind Eagle Man are actually running some kind of protection racket. "Haven't had an accident yet? Don't worry. You will."
#2. A Minute of Nightmares and LeBron James for SpriteWhat it looks like:
This starts out well, with a bunch of guys in suits and giant green masks infiltrating a private residence while wielding paintball guns to a hip soundtrack.
Another team, this one clad in yellow Greedo helmets, enters from the back of the house. You now may be wondering if we are being too picky about what constitutes a failed commercial. "This is not that weird," you might even be saying to yourself. Then: MIDGETS IN NIPPLE HATS.
These guys probably went to Juliard.
Did we mention this happens as a series of split second cuts between the scenes of the two paintball teams? After almost 50 seconds of color-coordinated sneaking around and midgets running headlong into each other at top speed, we finally get to the show down when the paintball teams corner... a giant tongue?
You're licked now, buddy! *Applause*
It is at this point that we all succumb to mind diarrhea. While the giant tongue is shot with green and yellow paint like Sonny Corleone, we are assaulted with a barrage of bizarre hyper-cut images including:
A CGI frog eating a lizard;
A statue exploding;
Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots;
A slice of lemon being inseminated--and no, this isn't just a humorous description, it's an actual sperm wiggling into a lemon slice;
Oh, and it stars LeBron James.What it really is:
Apparently the Coca-Cola Company claims this is an ad for Sprite, as part of their edgy "Sublymonal" marketing campaign. The message of the campaign, as far as we can tell, is "Sprite is manufactured by costumed midgets ejaculating onto sliced lemons. Enjoy."
#1. Furry Orgy for Vagina JuiceWhat it looks like:
This is animal porn. There is no other way to describe what we are watching.
This commercial features anthropomorphic animals dry humping, spraying each other with liquid and giving lap dances for nearly a full two minutes of thrusting pelvises and furry jiggling breasts. It's a lot like that sequence in The Shining if it had been animated by Pixar. Some of the more troubling moments include:
An octopus stripper giving a lap dance to a bear;
A doe bathing herself in what we hope is juice;
Zebras in monokinis riding giant bursting phalluses;
Panda boobs;
Right now we can't imagine this commercial advertising anything other than the most terrifying boner anyone has ever achieved.What it really is:
Perhaps in an effort to top their ad for dairy (see above), France created this masterpiece to promote a line of fruit juices called Orangina. That is not a typo.
Unlike some of the other entries, we can sort of see how this idea might have started out before transforming into the twisted carnival of eye-gouging horror it later became. Fruit juices are natural, hence nature, so that's why we're outside with a bunch of animals, though the presence of the octopus suggests a troubling deficiency in France's public school system.
However, the intended market for this product seems to have been confused. Cartoon animals are generally a strategy for younger consumers, while sexual innuendo is arguably reserved for older audiences. Mixing the two approaches together aims it purely at furries. Furries, and absolutely nobody else. Though we suppose their money is as good as ours.

I have lost the GPG keys I use for Launchpad and email encryption, along with my entire
~/.gnupg folder. Can I recover them using the public key?
I have lost the GPG keys I use for Launchpad and email encryption, along with my entire
Sorry, but you cannot get your key back. This is by design.
The RSA (and DSA/ElGamal) algorithms are engineered so that the keys must be made at the same time. There are intermediate variables that are not stored as part of the either the private or public key. Because the public key is crafted to be made public, you cannot deduce the secret key from it, or there would be a giant security hole. The two primes are generated from random numbers.
Also, the key email/name/description have no bearing on the modulus("meaty" data portion of the key). Therefore, you cannot recover your secret key without a backup, at least not without factoring large numbers which cannot be easily done right now. The passphrase is used to protect the key with another (symmetric) key generated from the passphrase, but neither this key nor the password affect the modulus in any way except a stray source of random data.
What can I do?
You can go to Launchpad key management after logging in via username and password, revoke your old keys. and then make and publish new keys. There is no limit on the number of keys you can publish. Make a secure backup, and ensure nobody gets unauthorized access to the backup, and that the keys in the backup are protected by a passphrase.
No, it is highly unprobable that you'd be able to generate the same key again.
However, you can easily import/export keys following the steps below:
Importing the keyring (all the keys)
Just copy the
Importing only a particular key

Gift Guide 2012: Biography
Carl Rollyson recommends biographies for the holiday season, including Robert Caro's "The Passage of Power."
Robert Caro's fourth volume in his ambitious and inspiring biography of Lyndon Johnson, "The Passage of Power" (Knopf, 712 pages, $35) begins in 1958, when LBJ was the powerful Senate majority leader. It covers his years as the frustrated vice president, then ends with him ascending to the highest office in a time of tragedy. This is not the end of the story, of course, but it is the apex of one of Caro's most important themes. As Mr. Caro has said all along, his subject is not just Lyndon Johnson, but the nature of power itself, a subject as venerable as Suetonius.
In an election year, it was perhaps inevitable that shelves would be flooded with biographies of presidents. In "The Man Who Saved the Union" (Knopf, 736 pages, $35), H.W. Brands rehabilitates the discredited Ulysses S. Grant by presenting him as a man of good intentions, waging a "good and honorable fight." To turn history away from the struggle for civil rights, Grant's enemies degraded the man, exaggerated stories of his drinking and connections to scandals for which he bore no responsibility. Grant's battles on behalf of Indians and his support of minority rights couldn't be won "against majority hostility or indifference," Mr. Brands concludes.
Lisa Cohen's "All We Know: Three Lives" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 448 pages, $30) could very well have been subtitled "A Study in Failure." In fascinating, well-chosen detail, Ms. Cohen explores the careers of three notable women whose paths crossed frequently in the 1920s and 1930s but who aren't well remembered today. Esther Murphy, destined to write a great biography of Madame de Pompadour, never completed it. Madge Garland, instrumental in using fashion to shape the modernist sensibility, proved unable to put her vision into words that could be contained between the covers of a book. Mercedes de Acosta, as much a fan of movie stars and actresses as she was a memoirist, never made any career cohere. In each case, though, the reasons for failure and the proximity of these women to those who did ultimately succeed—figures like Greta Garbo, Rebecca West, and F. Scott Fitzgerald—say much about the age in which Cohen's subjects lived. Ms. Cohen's own meditation on the role of biography situates "All We Know" among the classics of biographies about biography.
Margaret Fuller (1810–50) is a natural for biographers wanting to latch onto a subject both serious and sensational. Several authors have done so in recent years, but none as well as John Matteson in his masterful "The Lives of Margaret Fuller" (Norton, 528 pages, $32.95). Fuller was the only female member of the Concord circle of writers that included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and Nathaniel Hawthorne. She authored the groundbreaking "Woman in the Nineteenth Century," worked as a war correspondent for the New York Tribune, and finally returned from Italy, only to drown, along with her Italian husband and child, 250 yards offshore of her native land. Mr. Matteson's account reminds us why she is likely to long remain in the forefront of efforts to dissect the American psyche.
"Ryszard Kapuściński: A Life" (Verso, 464 pages, $34.95) by Arthur Domosławski deftly explores one of the most renowned and controversial figures of modern journalism. Kapuściński's works, including "The Emperor," "Imperium," and "The Shah of Shahs," cut across the genres of war reporting, travel writing and memoir. As a young man he aspired to be a poet; as the master of eyewitness history he became a credible candidate for the Nobel Prize. At the same time, toward the end of his life doubts arose about the veracity of his dispatches from Africa and Latin America, and about his role in the apparat that forced Poland into the Soviet imperium. His biographer is both critical and compassionate: Kapuściński emerges as both a collaborator and critic of communism, and the author situates his biographical narrative in the larger history that his subject helped to build and then tear down.
—Mr. Rollyson is the author of "Hollywood Enigma: Dana Andrews" and the forthcoming "American Isis: The Life and Art of Sylvia Plath."

I apologize in advance for the nature of this question.
I have been thinking lately of methods to increase the quality of my self-study. I have been meaning, but never actually got to, in addition to solving numerous problems in the textbooks, to construct and solve my own problems, based on the material taught in each chapter.
Would that be helpful, educationally, or would it be a waste of time? Is this practice carried out in general?

Like many coaches, Steve Daley had this simple second half goal for his Catholic Central football season: go 1-0 each week.
So far, so good for Daley and his Crusaders.
Central went 1-0 in Week 8 thanks to an easy 53-8 victory over Weir High. Daley's club has won five straight and stands at 6-2 on the season. During the victory streak, the Crusaders defense has allowed just 42 points.

The goal of going 1-0 in Week 9 will come with a huge challenge in the form of the high-flying Madonna Blue Dons. Doug Taylor's gridders are 6-1 and also have captured five consecutive victories since a tough 28-22 loss to Wheeling Central.
The 13th battle between the small school powers is set for 7 p.m. Saturday at Harding Stadium.
In the win over the Red Riders, Central again showed outstanding offensive balance, getting 208 on the ground and 143 through the air.
Doug Maslowski ran for 140 yards on just nine carries and three touchdowns. He now has 752 stripes and 12 rushing touchdowns.
Brenton Colabella hit on nine of his 10 attempts for a couple of scores. The junior quarterback leads the Herald Star/Daily Times coverage area in passing yardage with 1,970 and 24 touchdowns.
Madonna's offense had another huge night in steamrolling Clarksburg Notre Dame, 49-12. Ross Comis accounted for 218 total yards (93 rushing and 125 passing). He scored twice and connected with Garrett Hypes for another six-pointer. Five Blue Dons found the end zone in the contest staged at Fairmont State University.
In seven games, Comis has thrown for 782 yards and run for 854. He has 13 rushing touchdowns.
Heading into Friday's game with Big Red, Morgantown was averaging 327 rushing yards per outing. Reno Saccoccia's club countered the potent Mohigan running game with a strong rushing attack of its own.
Big Red finished with 258 stripes while Morgantown was held to 142 (102 coming during the first two quarters).
Senior Dashon Redman had a career night, toting the pigskin 31 times for 177 yards and two touchdowns. Redman showed both power and speed in helping Big Red earn the 20-14 victory and move to 6-2 on the season. His 1-yard run with 8:02 remaining provided the winning score.
"He's the real deal," said Morgantown's John Bowers. "He's a good runner."
Michael Jett contributed 82 on 10 totes. His 45-yard sprint put Big Red in position to score the game's final touchdown.
Big Red's rushing game chewed up plenty of time in the contest at Pony Lewis Field. The winners had possessions consuming 5:05, 5:06, 7:37, 5:46 and 4:41.
After Redman's 1-yard plunge, Morgantown moved down the field and had a first down at the Big Red 11 (thanks to a defensive pass interference call). Chazzy Thomas moved forward for a yard before quarterback Mark Johnson lofted a pass into the end zone. The Mohigans were called for offensive interference, which resulted in a loss of 15 yards and a down.
The down marker, however, continued to show second down and there appeared to be some confusion on the playing field. Johnson completed a 10-yard pass before scrambling for a few. He apparently thought the Mohigans had another down, but the ball belonged to Big Red and Morgantown was dealt a tough loss.
Turnovers: you either love them or you hate them.
Area teams found themselves on both ends of the TO spectrum during Week 8.
Indian Creek led the list of lovers thanks to an outstanding play made by Alex Young. With the Redskins clinging to a 26-21 lead and Harrison Central marching for a score, Young stepped in front of a Huskie pass and raced 96 yards for the victory-clinching score.
Young's touchdown and Fernando Prestes' extra point gave Creek a 33-21 Buckeye 8 victory and moved Andrew Connor's club to 7-1 on the season.
The Edison Wildcats were crazy about turnovers also after surprising Martins Ferry 35-22 for their second victory of the season.
Ferry committed seven turnovers, four fumbles and three interceptions. Five of the miscues came in the first quarter. The Purple Riders outgained Edison 339-310 but couldn't overcome the mistakes.
Edison's Nolan Marcus had a huge night for coach Mike McKenzie. He completed nine passes for 148 and two touchdowns. He also ran for 67 and a pair of scores.
Brooke fell into the turnover hater category after suffering a 53-27 loss at Parkersburg South. The Patriots tallied 20 points off four first-half Bruin mistakes.
Freshman Justin Loughrie did all he could to help Brooke's cause. He rushed for 155 yards on 20 carries and scored on a 42-yard sprint.
Oak Glen suffered a 33-13 loss to East Liverpool in the annual "Battle of the Bridges" thanks in part to giving the ball away six times.
Four interceptions and two fumbles were too much to overcome for coach Ian Whittington's gridders. Oak Glen is now 4-4 and its playoff hopes are in serious jeopardy.
Toronto also was burned by the turnover bug in its tough 35-32 loss to Conotton Valley. The Red Knights were guilty of six miscues.
The loss dimmed an outstanding performance by freshman quarterback Blaze Glenn. He completed 13 of 24 attempts for 306 yards and two scores. He found big brother Chez five times for 172 stripes and a score. He also hooked up with Charles Ross III on a 66-yard scoring strike.
In addition, Blaze Glenn managed 70 rushing yards and another touchdown.
Where they stand:
After its win over Harrison Central, Indian Creek has taken over the fourth spot in the Region 11 standings, according to Joe Eitel.
The 7-1 Redskins trail Alliance Marlington, Millersburg West Holmes and Dover. Creek closes the season by visiting Buckeye Local (3-4) and hosting Edison (2-6).
Big Red jumped back into the Region 11 hunt thanks to its 20-14 come-from-behind victory over Morgantown. Saccoccia's team is rated sixth. Big Red finishes its season with home games against Sir Wilfrid Laurier (3-1) and Akron Butchel (4-4).
Catholic Central is seventh in Region 21 and Eitel notes the Crusaders now control their own playoff destiny. After the contest with Madonna, Central will visit Magnolia (6-1).
Harrison Central stands eight in Region 15. Unbeaten St. Clairsville leads the region and Eitel says the Red Devils have clinched a first round home game. The Huskies visit Union Local Friday before hosting Buckeye Local.
Madonna is No. 7 in West Virginia's Class A after its easy victory against Notre Dame. The Blue Dons still must play Central, Toronto and unbeaten Clay-Battelle.
A different look:
Drew Pasteur offers a different look at the Ohio football playoffs on his website (www.fantastic50.net.
Using 10,000 simulations of the remainder of the regular season, computing the Harbin points each time, Pasteur has developed projections for first-round games in each division.
According to his projections, Indian Creek will finish 9-1 and Big Red 7-3, both making the Region 11 playoffs. Pasteur says Creek will finish fifth, facing Zanesville Maysville in the opening round. Big Red, he says, will close at 7-3, earning a trip to Dover.
Pasteur has Harrison Central finishing seventh in Region 15 with a 7-3 mark. The Huskies would tangle with Ironton. St. Clairsville is projected to win the region and host Indian Valley.
Catholic Central, according to Pasteur, will finish at 7-3 and earn the seventh spot in Region 21. If that happens, the Crusaders would face Malvern in round one.

I have constant power going to both my garage door openers. What I'm trying to do is come up with a way to easily cut power to them without having to get out and climb a small ladder to pull the power cords. I know they make the pull chains for lamp ceiling fixtures, I was just wondering if they made an adapter with a pull chain to put between the garage door power cords and the ceiling outlets. Can anyone help or have a better idea?
Sounds like a job for a light switch if you ask me. If you don't want to tear up the walls, you can run the wire in some conduit along the ceiling and down the wall, placing the switch in a convenient location.
I agree with B Mitch's answer as a good first and best method of switching off the power to the garage door opener. If you don't want to run wires etc, you could replace the outlet that the opener plugs into with a keyless pull string light bulb holder. A keyless socket is like the ones you see in basements. It is a simple 4 inch round porcelain or plastic light fixture. Instead of a bulb, you can screw in a plug adapter. All the parts you would need should cost less than $5.00
This question isn't garage door specific. A simple solution would be to run an extension from somewhere you can access, and have a switch there.
I have my garage power switched through to a switch in the house so I can power it all down at night with one flick of a switch.
You can place a pull switch some where in between the supply and the motor as lon as its rated to your current system 110/220VAC and 3-5AMP is ample. Make sure to have it earthed (if you have the earth available)
There are multispet ones - so be carefull not to buy 3 speed (but you can merge all outputs to one if you want - you will jsut nned to pull the chain 3 times - or figure something more clever out)

According to the text in the Deluxe Edition of Savage Worlds, the Gadgeteer edge available to weird scientists (WS) allows a player to indefinitely accumulate devices at a rate of one per session, effectively giving a WS every power in the game, if played conservatively. Does anyone have links to any published sources or effective house rules that allow the edge to still be useful and fun without being game-breaking?
Sign up

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
How can one prevent the gadgeteer edge in Savage Worlds from becoming overpowered without banning or nerfing it into oblivion?
There are a few mitigating aspects which have limited the Edge's use for the player who has it in my game, which is Deadlands Reloaded.
Firstly, Gadgeteer with RAW is limited to powers of the character's rank or lower that are available to Mad Scientists. This actually reduces the number of powers available significantly.
Also remember that the device created by Gadgeteer burns out once its Power Points are used and cannot be recharged.
I also tend to assume that the temporary nature of the device means that even unused it will eventually fall apart, so depending on what the players are doing you could rule that a device only lasts a session. This might be a little harsh though, but its worth considering.
You could also go down the route of the device being more susceptable to failiure compared to normal - perhaps on a 1 or 2 on the skill die? I don't use this though and my gut feeling is it is probably a little harsh.
If all else fails, and you feel the player is still abusing the system, you could talk to them about your concerns and they may rein in a little.
Working in concert with Phil's insight on the Gadgeteer Edge, present the player with opportunities too good not to use up those devices. I don't know of any player that will both risk their character's life and pass up an opportunity to be amazing.
It's good general advice to have a good idea of player character capabilities (keep copies of their character sheets) when crafting scenes and adventures. You want to both challenge them and provide opportunities for them to bask in the spotlight.
I think that the rules assume that player will use them up quickly. This rule is flawed as they could accumulate them as you say. The requirements to be a Gadgeteer are quite high and it seams to be that you would need to focus on it at character creation. So not to use the Jury Rigged devices as you create them would quickly limit the party's total effectiveness. Hence saving them up for that really big encounter probably means that they have made earlier ones much harder. I would say it is swings and roundabouts. Your choices are simple really, leave it as it says after all the players are really just trading there short term effectiveness for a long term improvement. Hence lots of small encounters and no big bad ones will after a while change there behaviour. Or say that they loss one power point each session as after all they are Jury Rigged Devices and they don't retain charge well.
If they are accumulating them doesn't that mean that they are not using them? I would think that's sort of auto-nerfing then. If the character isn't using his talents, perhaps the group will harass him into picking a character that can actually help the group.
Do you want them to use the devices more (which could only make him more powerful)?
Not sure I understand the problem.

Does "so" have similar usage and meaning in English and German?
so ein schönes Lied!
das tut uns [ja] so leid!
so? Das wäre aber sonderbar
du darfst nehmen, so viel wie du willst.
alles ging so weit (bis dahin) gut, aber dann …
Does "so" have similar usage and meaning in English and German?
So is one of the most complicated words in German. The Grimm has dozens (if not hundreds) of pages (the link generator is somewhat broken - follow the link, search for "so", and click on the second "so" entry) on this word. "So" can be an adverb, a conjunction or a particle. Most of the uses are the adverb. From the chat:
Some of the meanings are very similar to English. It can mean something similar to "very":
It can also mean a surprise:
In this case, you could also say "Ach so?" or "Tatsächlich?" instead.
An important meaning of "so" in German, however, is a comparison. so-wie is used similar to as-as in English:
It can be used standalone, on the other hand:
In this case, it is still a comparison and kind of requires more explanation (sie stößt mit dem Kopf an die Decke).
In English, "so" is often used like "hence". You can use it in German as well:
"so" can also mean "like this" in German, for example:
The "so" is pronounced rather long - and you show what you mean while saying it. I don't know if it is used like this in English as well.
Note that the verb can be omitted in some variants.
"so" can also mean "einfach so", or describe an omitted previous situation (from Duden):
And it can mean "etwa":
Usages of the conjunction
In the form "so dass":
It can be used conditionally:
Other forms include (from Duden) the concessive use:
And comparing use:
If you still can't get enough of the word "so" in German, read yesterday's chat transcript from here - highlight "so" ;)
In addition to OregonGhost's answer, I can think of the following other uses of "so" (some overlap in meaning):

Kentucky State Police say donations to their annual "Cram the Cruiser" food drive are slightly down this year but they are expecting an increase during the holidays.
The food drive started in November at two Frankfort locations and the agency will be accepting donations through Dec. 14.
KSP Sgt. Rick Saint-Blancard says the collections will go to local area food pantries.
The two donation centers in Frankfort are KSP Headquarters at 919 Versailles Road and Post 12 on Louisville Road. Suggested donations include canned fruit and vegetables, canned meat, macaroni and cheese and other non-perishables.
You can also donate to the KSP post in Bowling Green on Nashville Road.
Last year state police collected 50,931 pounds of food.

Google has an Easter egg running today. To activate it, do a search for "zerg rush" (no quotes). The game measures your kills and APM. Is it possible to beat the game?
The only end to the game is when all elements on the page are destroyed, in which case the remaining Olings flood in to make a "GG".
There is no win condition however.
Yes. Well, sort of.
It is possible, in a way, to win it. At least on my PC and using remap of left mouse button to one of keyboard buttons (numpad "/", to be specific). Thing is, at about 780 "frags", some of new appearing "zergs" get stuck right in their spawning point. As game progresses further, more and more of them are stuck; first, it only happens to them in spawning points located "on" line "google main page", but after about 20 zergs are stuck there, newcomers become stuck in other spawning points as well.
Checked it twice, both times it worked in the same manner, though positions of "stuck" zergs differ somewhat. Total of 26 "stuck" zergs result in no more attacks; they just sit in their spawning points, visibly "breathing" (Os are shaking all the time), but not moving anywhere.
Of course, if player kills "stuck" ones, then he won't get this "no more zerg attacks" state of the game. So if you want to beat it the only way known, don't kill zergs which are not moving and are far from your "buildings"!
Here's a screenshot:
P.S. Some may wonder about the APM score. Well, with left mouse button remapped to keyboard numpad "/", and that "/" being held down most of the time while playing, i get 30 "clicks" per second, which is 30x60=1800APM. Since script of the minigame gets laggy with that many clicks per second, i release the button when there are no zergs at or near my "buildings", thus APM becomes significantly less than 1800 on average.
No, you cannot outrun a Google Zerg rush (infinite spawn for high score competition).

"Military Metaphysics"
Today is (was?) the 50th anniversary of Dwight D. Eisenhower's Presidential farewell address, in which he coined the famous phrase "military-industrial complex" in warning of the "economic, political, even spiritual" consequences of the "total influence" of America's rapidly growing military establishment and arms industry. Frequent Commonweal contributor Andrew Bacevich remembers that speech in this month's Atlantic, and borrows the phrase from which I've taken this post's title. An excerpt:
Thanks to its allies and abettors, the military-industrial-legislative war complex remains stubbornly resistant to changea fact President Barack Obama himself learned during his first year in office. While reviewing his administrations policy in Afghanistan, the president repeatedly asked for a range of policy alternatives. He wanted choices. According to Bob Woodward of TheWashington Post, however, the Pentagon offered Obama a single paththe so-called McChrystal surge of additional troops. As recounted in Woodwards book Obamas Wars, the president complained: So whats my option? Youve given me only one option. The militarys own preferred option was all he was going to get. (Just months before, Woodward himself had helpfully promoted that very option, courtesy of a well-timed leak.)No doubt Dwight Eisenhower would sympathize with President Obama, having himself struggled to exercise the prerogatives ostensibly reserved to the chief executive. Yet Ike would hardly be surprised. He would reserve his surpriseand his disappointmentfor the American people. A half century after he summoned us to shoulder the responsibilities of citizenship, we still refuse to do so. In Washington, military metaphysics remains sacrosanct. No wonder we continue to get our pockets picked.
The famous clip from Ike's speech is embedded below the fold.

I highly recommend Bacevich's most recent book, Washington Rules. It's a short but incisive history, not only of the military-political culture inside the Beltway, but of "the American Century."Today is also the 50th anniversary of the murder of Patrice Lumumba, revolutionary leader in the former Belgian colony of the Congo. Lumumba was assassinated by CIA-funded and trained operatives, on orders from Ike's CIA chief, Allen Dulles. Four years later, Joseph Mobutu took over the country, and his bloody, plutocratic tyranny was supported by the U.S. (George H. W. Bush once referred to Mobutu as "one of our most valued friends.") Note the date, though -- Lumumba was murdered on Ike's watch. According to files released to the Church Committee in the 1970s, Eisenhower had informed Dulles that he wanted Lumumba eliminated. So even Ike can't be completely absolved of all the bloodshed and horror that's transpired as a result of the military-industrial complex. Maybe the speech is a bit of an atonement. As the wars, renditions, and military budgets indicatet, the MIC proceeds swimmingly along under President YesWeCan.
Eugene --Hasn't Secretary Gates recommended significant cut=back of the military budget and development of some new hardware?
Ann: No. Gates wants to cut back on certain items, but the new hardware more than makes up for the "cuts."
Quite depressing. Appeal to the American public? Just give me the American bishops and we can get somewhere. The bishops were strong in advocating peace after Vietnam war as were the Catholic leaders. It was fashionable to be anti-war and pro-civil rights. But as times changed the bishops and the Catholic leaders went with the trend rather than their consciences. This is why there is the picture of people like Law and Neuhaus who were strong on civil rights devolve to a more status quo position. Catholic leaders even traveled to Rome to persuade John Paul II to change his mind on the Iraqi war. It was ok those Catholics argued then and now to blow children to pieces over oil and power but not ok for a pressured family to limit its family size thru birth control. Chaplains of the armed forces come out more militarized than when they signed up. Rather than press the peace issues. There is no question about the military industrial complex. To have spiritual leaders approve it is a principal reason it is allowed to continue.
From the speech: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense, a theft. The cost of one modern, heavy bomber is this: a modern, brick school in more than 30 cities."Wow. I can't imagine hearing that today.
Given the amount of money poured into think tanks these days, it's not surprising you won't hear this today.
Bacevich seems to be a great admirer of Eisenhower (in fact, this article makes me interested in finding a good Eisenhower biography), but I take his depiction of presidents as helpless figureheads with a grain of salt. The President, as the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, is supposed to supervise all those generals and admirals. Also, not a dime of government money can be spent on the military without the President approving the budget. A president could, if he wished, drive fundamental change. As Bacevich points out (and as any casual observer can confirm), Congress lacks the will to drive reform; military spending benefits too many home-district voters. If the President doesn't force change, it will never happen.
I remember many jokes, in my family and elsewhere, about Ike having to move his lips when he read, and so on. His reputation, however, has certainly grown over the years. And not just because of his military-industrial complex speech. When I was defending the honor of my country aboard a Navy ship in the Taiwan straits, during the offshore island crises of the mid-fifties, I used to laugh at my mother's worries for my safety. Not for some years did I understand how close we had come to throwing an A-bomb at the Chinese Reds, and it was Ike who, more than anyone else I think, refused to act on the advice that people like Secretary of State Dulles and Chief of Staff Admiral Radford were giving him.Imagine what the world would be like today if he had succumbed.I gave my policy-wonk daughter the Bacevich book for Christmas -- on the understanding that she read it quickly and pass it on to me.
Jim,There i sthe famous story of Harry Truman pondering in his office after Ike was elected: "Poor Ike! He is a General and is used to people obeying his demands promptly. When he comes into this office he will give orders and no one will give a damn." (Forgive the quotes as i am paraphrasing from memory. But the words and meaning are close enough.) To a certain extent President's are limited just the way pope's are by the entrenched bureaucracy.Eisenhower was prescient enough to know that a recording of the Holocaust was important to prevent all future denials. "I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to propaganda.
Bill, that is a good story about Truman, and certainly rings true. I suppose it bears on what Bacevich reminds us about what Eisenhower thought: our elected officials don't have an incentive to rein in programs that are politically popular but not good for the polity. Therefore, it devolves upon a wise and disciplined electorate to insist that our elected officials do what is best for the country.

Yearbook Name Inspo Game
Sooooo for those of you who didn't know, I'm still in high school. Ninth grade, to be exact. And as I was going through my 2013-2014 yearbook, it occurred to me how many of my classmates had truly unusual names.
That's where I got the neat idea to go through all the kids in my grade and pick out some of the oddball names I could find. I listed them all below (first names only, obviously), along with the gender each name was used on.
Steffi - girl
Crispin - boy
Aldrich - boy
Desa - girl
Kamaluonalaniualawe (yes, I'm serious) - boy
Josten - girl
Olinda - girl
Jerone - boy
Kaloyan - boy
Saeed - boy
Anupama - girl
Allyrose (not really all that unusual, but I've still never encountered it before) - girl
Indi - girl
Zen - boy
Merhan - girl
Abbra - girl
Leif - boy
Lorenzen - boy
If you happen to also be in high school, I would love to hear what oddball names you can spot in your yearbook. (Or, if you're not still in school, why not dig some of your old yearbooks out of the attic and see what weird names you can find in them?) I'm always looking for new ideas.
I would also love your opinions on the names above. Which do you like? Which do you dislike? Are there any you would use on your own kids? I want your thoughts!

I'm not in school and don't have year books as i'm not from the US, so I used my Facebook friends instead. I know they're not all outlandish, but they all have an element of oddness.

Product Details
To reduce the effects of noise from LCDs and other sources, the AD7879/AD7889 contain a preprocessing block. The prepro- cessing function consists of a median filter and an averaging filter. The combination of these two filters provides a more robust solution, discarding the spurious noise in the signal and keeping only the data of interest. The size of both filters is programmable. Other user-programmable conversion controls include variable acquisition time and first conversion delay; up to 16 averages can be taken per conversion. The AD7879/AD7889 can run in slave mode or standalone (master) mode, using an automatic conversion sequencer and timer.
The AD7879/AD7889 have a programmable pin that can operate as an auxiliary input to the ADC, as a battery monitor, or as a GPIO. In addition, a programmable interrupt output can operate in three modes: as a general-purpose interrupt to signal when new data is available (DAVINT), or as a pen-down interrupt when the screen is touched (PENIRQ). The AD7879/AD7889 offer temperature measurement and touch-pressure measurement.
The AD7879 is available in a 12-ball, 1.6 mm × 2 mm WLCSP and in a 16-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP. The AD7889 is available in a backside-coated version of the WLCSP. Both parts support an SPI interface (AD7879/AD7889) or an I2C® interface (AD7879-1/AD7889-1). AD7879W and AD7879-1W models are qualified for automotive applications.

Product Reviews
PowerBait® Fight'n Bug is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by frkenny from Tremendous Bait! This is an incredible bait for Bass - both Largemouth and Smallmouth! It is easy to fish and has an extremely realistic action. Fish bite and hang on. Even light bites result in hookups because the fish just don't want to let go. The biggest problem is that even small fish want a piece of it and will attack it every chance they get. Put it on a jig, fish it slow over rock piles and hang on to your Lightning Rod - the fish won't let it get away! One of my favorite all time baits!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Frogman13 from Perfect Craw Bait So many craws either have too much action for cold water or do not have enough action for aggressive summer bass; this craw is perfect for all seasons. The action it shows appears on the subtle side but when its sinking down the water column the action the claws put out is incredible (subtle but active at the same time). I have had just as many bass hit this bait while it was falling as when I was dragging it on the bottom. I have caught a ton of Bass on this thing this season and even hooked a decent Musky while crawling on the bottom. I have tried many, many different craw baits and have realized that this bait is perfect (for all seasons). I have been trying to find baits that will be more all purpose (therefore needing less in my tackle bag) and this fit the bill perfectly. Here in the Northeast you only need two colors; black/blue and green pumpkin and you can cover all water clarities. I fish these on a Texas Rig with a Gammy Superline 3/0 EWG hook and a tungsten weight (actual weight depends on depth being fished). For some reason the Bass just love this bait and with the added Powerbait scent what more could you ask for. After throwing this bait for the first 2 months I realized that this is the only soft craw I need to carry in the boat any longer. Durability of the bait is fantastic; you can expect 3-5 fish per bait (unless a Musky rips it apart). The 3-1/2" size is great; I was looking for a craw that was a "little" smaller but not a finesse bait and again.....perfect size.Thank you Berkley for another PERFECT bait. As long as Berkley keeps putting out phenomenal baits such as this there is no need to even try any other brands of soft plastics.........and I truly mean that!

When my eldest turned three her male cousin also turned three. Many of her friends and her cousin were getting Tzitzit. She asked for her own. We explained that boys wear TzitTzit and girls light Shabbat candles and therefore we adopted the custom of our three year old girls lighting one candle starting when they turn three.

On the other, Rabbi Eli Mansour at dailyhalacha.com says "…Therefore, the prevalent practice is that the unmarried daughters living in the home do not light Shabbat candles, and instead rely on the mother's lighting. An unmarried girl who insists on lighting should certainly not recite a Beracha."
Rabbi Elchonon Feldman of Belmont United Synagogue explains here that "whilst every family has different customs in regards to lighting the Shabbat candles, young ladies and girls all play a part in this Mitzvah."
It's a classic CYLOR.
The three varying minhagim that come to mind for this are: starting at 3, starting at bat mitzvah age, and starting when one is married.
Since I am most familiar with the minhag of age 3 which you have adapted that is the one I will explain... when one considers the importance of chinuch it makes sense that one should start before the age of bar mitzvah. Why age 3?
Three is considered a milestone in a persons life in which one becomes a child and children must be taught right from wrong as well as the traditions they will carry on throughout life. Successful enculturation (chinuch) must start when one transitions from infant-hood to childhood.

A problem with an Intercounty Electric Cooperative Association substation caused an outage that affected approximately 1,200 members Monday afternoon.
Karen McNew, of Intercounty Electric, said she was unsure of the exact problem at the Rolla West substation.
The outage, which affected homes and businesses northwest of Rolla, lasted for about 4.5 hours, McNew said.
The outage was first reported shortly before noon and power was restored around 4:30 p.m.
McNew said a different issue on a line from the Rolla East substation caused an outage that affected about 49 people.
That outage was reported around 4:30 p.m. Intercounty crews were working Monday afternoon to restore power to those members.

Naugy gets it in gear in second half
TORRINGTON -- You have to wonder when the football gods are going to give Torrington a break. And if you don't, people in Raider Land sure are. Somewhere behind that dark cloud is the sun; the problem is that the cloud is about the size of Texas these days.
The off-season was horrific, and we'll leave it at that. Then the Raiders opened the season with a team young enough to still be carrying lunchboxes to school and were Arkeeled to death at Ansonia.
Friday night, a 3-1 Naugatuck team rolled into the Robert H. Frost Complex coming off its first loss of the season, a 25-22 knee-knocker vs. Woodland. It was not an enviable situation to be in for Torrington, even less so since the starting quarter-
See NAUGY, Page 9B
back is out with a knee injury and his backup is out for the season with a broken collar bone.
Final score: Naugatuck 33, Torrington 3. No surprise. Maybe the surprise was that it was that close. Or how about the Raiders trailing just 12-3 at the half?
Raiders coach Gaitan Rodriguez had one of those when-will-it-end smiles and could only think about keeping on, keeping on.
"I had guys in different positions and asked guys to step, and they responded," said Rodriguez. "(Quarterback) Nate Manchester did everything I asked of him in practice this week and tonight, and so did the whole team. They can hold their heads up high. I can't question their heart or effort."
Manchester, a sophomore who is usually a wide receiver, ran the show for the Raiders and did a credible job. He completed no passes, but only turned the ball over once and executed the Raiders' new offense, a variation of the double wing. Or as Naugatuck coach Craig Bruno called it, "the hammer."
And for a half, there was hope for the Raiders. Sticking with the ground game, Torrington kept the Naugatuck offense off the field. However, the Raiders' offense was limited to just a 35-yard field goal off the potent foot of P.J. Kilmartin.
Naugatuck was just biding its time. The Greyhounds reeled off an eight-play, 61-yard drive in the first quarter, capped by quarterback Jason Bradley's 3-yard run, and added a Kevin Robinson 1-yard run for a score before the half.
A slow start? Sluggish going against an outmanned team after a tight loss? Not so, said Bradley.
"Torrington ran the ball and kept it in bounds," said Bradley. "I think we only had the ball four times in the first half. It was a game of few possessions for us."
No so much in the second half. Bryan Coney's 60-yard kickoff return to start the half put the ball on the Torrington 34-yard line. Five plays later, Bradley scored on a 4-yard run for a 19-3 lead.
Later in the quarter, after a Torrington fumble, Tom Douty (10 carries, 67 yards) busted one up the middle 45 yards to up the margin to 26-3. The Greyhounds completed the scoring when Maleek Brooks turned a little Torrington trickery into disaster when he intercepted a Zack Mancini option pass and raced into the end zone from 18 yards out.
'I'm proud we hung in there to finish it," said Bruno. "I thought we had it under control most of the way."
The Greyhounds divided up the offense by land and by air, rushing for 159 yards while Bradley threw for 167 yards (13-of-21). Ryne Griesenhauer was on the end of six passes for 90 yards.
"Our offensive line killed it," said Bradley. "When we are going like that, we are hard to beat. Griesenhauer is a great receiver. He is a big target (6-foot-5, 200 pounds) and is reliable."
The defense wasn't bad either, limiting Torrington to just 81 yards, all on the ground.
It was all part of that big cloud, as far as Torrington is concerned. What's next?

Connecticut Will Need Days to Recover, Governor Says
Connecticut authorities said it would take days to recover from a blizzard that hit the state with more than three feet of snow in some areas and crippled much of the Northeast. Authorities had earlier ordered all roads closed to nonemergency traffic but lifted the ban later Saturday.
"Right now our main priority is to clear roads," said Gov. Dannel Malloy. "This is going to go on for a number of days."
The governor said at least one person—a woman hit by a car while operating a snowblower—had died in Connecticut during the storm. He said several hundred National Guard members would be called in to help hard-hit areas.
The Connecticut State Police received "well over" 1,600 calls for service in 24 hours, and about 39,000 households remained without power in the southeast section of the state, Gov. Malloy said. "There is a big concern about how cold it is going to be tonight," he said, adding that warming centers were being set up in areas without power.
In New York, the most significant impact was felt on Long Island, where Suffolk County had over 30 inches of snow, said Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
"Suffolk has sustained significant damage and significant hardship as a result of the storm," he said.
At the height of the storm, about 35,000 households lost power on Long Island, and about 10,000 households still had no electricity on Saturday morning, said Gil Quiniones of the New York Power Authority.
A Con Edison spokesman said that as of Saturday morning there were fewer than 300 New York City customers without power because of the storm, after the utility restored service to 3,000 customers who had lost it.
Mr. Cuomo said plow crews and utility workers were being sent from New York City and all over the state to eastern Long Island to aid with storm recovery.
Two storm-related deaths were reported in the state: a 74-year-old man died after being struck by a car in Poughkeepsie, and a 23-year-old man died after he went off the edge of a roadway while plowing his driveway in Germantown police said.
On Long Island and in Connecticut, there was concern about motorists caught in snow drifts. On Friday evening, about 150 automobiles were stranded on the Long Island Expressway. In Connecticut, Mr. Malloy said there were roads made impassable because of car accidents.
"One of the biggest problems we are facing is stalled automobiles," Mr. Malloy said. "We are trying to dig them out and tow them away."
Mr. Cuomo said the hourslong traffic jam "was a complication for the clearing of the snow. The vehicles obviously become stranded and then the plows and the crews can't do their work." Portions of the LIE remained closed Saturday afternoon.
As the cleanup continued, Mr. Cuomo urged New Yorkers to stay indoors to allow snow-removal and power-restoration crews to more effectively do their jobs.
"I ask the people of this state to use consideration today," he said. "If you really don't need to leave the house for an urgent matter, don't leave the house."
All and all, New York fared far better in the storm than Connecticut and New England, Mr. Cuomo said. He said he would send plow and utility crews to aid in their storm recovery efforts.
Elsewhere in the New York City region, officials were breathing sighs of relief. The storm brought about a foot of snow to the city and could have been much worse, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
"I think it's fair to say that we were very lucky," Mr. Bloomberg said at a news conference Saturday. "We certainly avoided the worst of it and our thoughts go out to the people in Connecticut and Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine."
Mr. Bloomberg said the city's Department of Sanitation, buoyed by private contractors, about 2,200 trucks in all, were out all night plowing and salting the roads and would continue to do so all day Saturday.
"Virtually all primary streets have been plowed and all city streets, we think, will be plowed by the end of the day," the mayor said.
Department of Sanitation Commissioner John Doherty said of his workers' efforts during the storm, "It was difficult at times. There was a period during the night where we had a little bit of a whiteout but we got through that and I think we did a really good job as far as getting the streets plowed."
Mr. Doherty said private contractors were brought in for the first time to plow the tertiary roads—side streets—from the outset of the storm. He said that Mayor Bloomberg put that policy in effect after a storm in December 2010. After that storm, the city was criticized for its slow response in clearing side streets and at least one death was blamed on the inability of an ambulance to get through an unplowed street.
Mr. Bloomberg didn't report any storm-related deaths and said the subways and buses continued to run on schedule.

Is there a version of Furstenber-Zimmer Theorem for non-invertible measure preserving systems?
Where can I find it?
What is the precise statement?
In many works that reference the Furstenberg-Zimmer Theorem, the theorem itself is not stated. Authors usually cite the works of Furstenberg (The structure of distal flows and/or Ergodic behavior of diagonal measures and a theorem of Szemerédi on arithmetic progressions) and Zimmer (Extensions of ergodic group actions and/or Extensions of ergodic actions and generalized discrete spectrum). The point is that in many places, the theorem is being used for non-invertible systems. This happens, for instance in On Li-Yorke Pairs, where the systems are assumed to be surjective, but not necessarily invertible. In this paper, for the proof of Theorem 2.1, the authors use Furstenber-Zimmer Theorem.
As far as I understood, Zimmer's work deals with group actions. That is, invertible systems. And for Furstenberg's Ergodic behaviour of diagonal measures [...], he deals with regular measure preserving systems.
Unfortunately, Furstenberg and Zimmer (obviously) did not call their result the Furstenberg-Zimmer Theorem. In fact, it seems to me that Furstenberg didn't even call it a theorem. :-P
I could find a precise statement of the theorem for the invertible case at a Terry Tao's post. But I could not find any precise statement for the non-invertible case.

Why do we treat time as parameter in non relativistic QM instead of treating position as parameter?
What is actually a parameter?
I have read this Wikipedia page, but could not understand why should we take only time as parameter?
A parameter is a variable you need to fix before you can apply a formula.
If you investigate a particular system on your table, you cannot even tell in principle in which state the system is unless you specify the time. (Except if the system is stationary, of course.) This makes time a parameter in classical mechanics and in quantum mechanics.
In classical (and quantum) field theory, you also need to point to a position before the event defining a state unambiguaously is determined; hence both time and position are parameters.
In classical relativistic mechanics of a single particle, you have the alternative to use eigentime as parameter; then time becomes a state variable rather than a parameter.
But there is no consistent definition of particle eigentimes for relativistic multiparticle systems. This is why relativistic multiparticle systems are always treated in an approximate way, typically the post-Newton approximation. An exact treatment would require a field theory, namely general relativity.
In less foundational contexts you may have many parameters. For example, you may have a function that depends on several variables but you keep some of them fixed. Then the variables regarded as fixed are termed parameters, as fixing them defines the instance of interest.
In Physics we observe things as functions of time. In Classical physics it is positions and velocities of a point-like bodies. In QM and other branches of Physics, it is waves or wave packets. Time is always an independent evolution parameter. The others are its functions, as we can figure out from experience.

What is a topological feature, that a (some) tqft (e.g. in 3 or 4 dim) sees but homology/cohomology/homotopy groups dont? Or: what is an example where using classical theories is hard, but using a tqft is comparatively easy?
All the answers so far have focused on 3 dimensions, but the answer is much more striking in 4 dimensions. Freedman's theorem tells you that classical homology invariants give you complete information about topological, simply-connected 4-manifolds. These classical invariants cannot, however, distinguish between distinct smooth structures on the same topological 4-manifold, and essentially our only technique for distinguishing smooth 4-manifolds is Donaldson's invariant or the Seiberg-Witten invariant or their relatives. These do not quite form a TQFT, but are related to TQFTs.
Edit: On request, a little about how the 4-manifold invariants are related to a TQFT. This is all nicely explained in the beginning of Kronheimer and Mrowka's book Monopoles and 3-manifolds.
There are actually three different theories, denoted $\widehat{\mathit{HM}}$ ("HM-from"), $\check{\mathit{HM}}$ ("HM-to", unfortunately typeset badly here), and $\overline{\mathit{HM}}$. All are close to satisfying axioms for a TQFT assigning a vector space to a 3-manifold and maps to a 4-manifold, at least for connected manifolds. (The vector spaces are infinite dimensional, but finite in each graded piece.) Unfortunately, however you slice it, in each case the invariant associated to a closed 4-manifold in the usual TQFT way (when defined) is zero.
Instead, you use the fact that there is an exact triangle $$ \cdots \longrightarrow \widehat{\mathit{HM}} \longrightarrow \overline{\mathit{HM}} \longrightarrow \check{\mathit{HM}}\longrightarrow \cdots $$ (with right mapping to left), and the map $\overline{\mathit{HM}}(W)$ is $0$ for $b_2^+(W) \ge 1$.
If you have a 4-manifold $W$ with $b_2^+(W) \ge 2$, you factor it as two cobordisms $W = W_1 \cup_Y W_2$ for some 3-manifold $Y$, with $b_2^+(W_i) \ge 1$. Then the properties above let you map from $\check{\mathit{HM}}(S^3)$, to $\check{\mathit{HM}}(Y)$, backwards in the exact triangle to $\widehat{\mathit{HM}}(Y)$, and then forwards to $\widehat{\mathit{HM}}(S^3)$. The resulting map (from $\check{\mathit{HM}}(S^3)$ to $\widehat{\mathit{HM}}(S^3)$) gives the interesting Seiberg-Witten invariants of $W$.
The only topological information in 3-manifolds besides homology and homotopy is Reidemeister torsion (see this question). TQFT sees Ray-Singer torsion, which is the same thing. Indeed, it was this discovery by Schwartz (and independently, unpublished, by Singer)
Rasmussen's $s$ invariant detects non-sliceness of some knots that no other method applies to.
The Tait flyping conjecture was proven by Menasco and Thistlethwaite using knot polynomial invariants (which are a version of TQFT invariants).
There is a lower bound on the braid index of a knot in terms of the Jones polynomial. I don't think that there is an efficient algorithm to compute the braid index of knots in general using geometric techniques, so sometimes this works better. There are related estimates of tunnel number and Heegaard genus in terms of TQFT invariants, but these are not sharp in many cases. However, computing TQFT invariants is straightforward, but exponential, so I'm not sure these estimates are necessarily "easier". Estimates of Heegaard genus for Seifert spaces were given Boileau and Zieschang using algebraic techniques, and this has been done by Helen Wong using TQFT invariants.
At a very concrete level, Turaev-Viro invariants of a compact 3-manifold (with or without boundary) can be easily computed by a computer from a triangulation and very often (although not always) distinguish non-homeomorphic manifolds.
To calculate a Turaev-Viro invariant you need to fix a level $r=3,4,\ldots$: for $r=5, 7$ you already obtain a quite powerful (and mysterious) invariant, which works on any kind of compact 3-manifold. For instance, it helped to distinguish immediately most of the non-homeomorphic manifolds in these lists.
So, distinguishing many triangulated 3-manifolds is maybe "an example where using classical theories is hard, but using a tqft is comparatively easy". The "classical theory" here would involve recognizing prime summands, decomposing along tori, finding a hyperbolic structure, etc. etc.
Note however that the cost of calculating Turaev-Viro invariants increases exponentially with $r$ and the number of tetrahedra, so I don't know if they can be effectively used to distinguish -- say -- two manifolds having 20 tetrahedra.
