"No reasonable opportunities" within the gun licensing system could have stopped taxi driver Derrick Bird shooting 12 people dead, an independent review concluded today.
The report, ordered by Cumbria Constabulary, found that the mass killer lawfully held certificates for a side-by-side hammer action shotgun and a .22 rifle which he used to gun down his victims.
It said the force and other relevant agencies had no information prior to the rampage which showed the gunman should reasonably have had his certificates revoked and guns seized.
The force's firearms licensing procedures were "robust" and in line with the law and Home Office guidance, it added.
Bird, 52, killed 12 people, including his twin brother, David, and injured 11 others in a spree across West Cumbria on June 2 before turning his gun on himself.
Following the shootings, the Chief Constable of Cumbria Constabulary, Craig Mackey, ordered an inquiry into the force's issue of a shotgun certificate and firearms licence.
Mr Mackey also called for an assessment of its firearms licensing procedures involving the whole of the county.
In his review, the chairman of the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) Firearms and Licensing Working Group, Adrian Whiting, said: "I have been able to assure the Chief Constable of Cumbria that the decisions made and the actions taken in respect of the grant and renewals of Derrick Bird's shotgun certificate, and those in respect of the grant of his firearm certificate, were in accordance with the law, regulation, Home Office advice and Acpo policy.
"I have concluded that the arrangements for firearm, shotgun and explosive certification in Cumbria are robust and that the people involved have the appropriate knowledge, skills and experience.
"In particular I consider that they are professional and committed to their work, and fully recognise the critical public safety issues at stake.
"There were no reasonable opportunities for the licensing system to have been the instrument of intervention to prevent the appalling offences subsequently committed."
The Assistant Chief Constable of Dorset Police continued: "The details of these circumstances do not give rise to any immediately obvious changes that need to be made, either in Cumbria Constabulary or in law, such as would have readily prevented the offences from being committed.
"There are a number of changes that may usefully improve public safety overall, but changes that would guarantee that offences of this nature could not be repeated would essentially require Parliament to approve much greater restriction on the private possession of firearms than is currently the case."
The report revealed that Bird had obtained a shotgun certificate in 1974 at the age of 16 and successfully applied for a firearms licence in 2007 for the .22 rifle.
In 1990 he was sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for a year, after he was convicted of two counts of theft and one count of handling stolen goods from his then employer, British Nuclear Fuels Limited.
Home Office guidance since 1969 has included advice that suspended sentences do not attract prohibited person status under the Firearms Act 1968.
Mr Whiting concluded that Bird had fulfilled all "necessary requirements for issue" and all appropriate inquiries were made, including home visits.
He pointed out that Bird unlawfully shortened the barrels of the shotgun in the hours before the first murder but there was no reasonable opportunity for the police to have become aware of this.
A separate review of the constabulary's firearms response on the day of the shootings and the resources it deployed to the various scenes is under way and will be published at a later date.
Following the conclusion of the two reviews, Acpo will decide whether any changes need to be made to its firearms manual or tactics.
Among the national policy changes Mr Whiting recommended was that people who receive wholly suspended sentences of jail terms of three months or more would in future be automatically classed as a prohibited person and banned from holding a guns licence for five years.
Bird would have lost his shotgun certificate in 1990 under the proposed law change but would have been able to reapply for his licence.
He said the recommendation was "very much influenced" by the Cumbria shootings.
"I cannot say it would have made a difference in this case but it would have been another significant factor to take into account," he said.
Mr Whiting recommended Acpo support the proposal which would then be passed to the Government for consideration.
He also said a key improvement would be to establish formal data links between GPs, mental health and police services to enable medical professionals to be in a position to alert police to any concerns over gun certificate holders.
A formal requirement could be put in place for doctors to be notified of an application for grant or renewal of a licence. Currently they do not hold that information unless the patient volunteers it.
He also suggested that police make a formal inquiry of family members of an applicant regarding their suitability.
Mr Mackey said he fully supported the recommendations in "trying to close and limit the opportunities for individuals who are unsuitable to get access to lawfully held firearms".
Commenting on the overall report, he said: "It is important for Cumbria Constabulary to ensure that firearms certificates are issued in line with national guidelines and legislation.
"I requested a comprehensive review following the shootings as I wanted to ensure our decision making and actions in respect of Bird's firearms certificates were appropriate.
"I wanted Derrick Bird's victims, the families of those who were killed, the local community and our police officers and staff to be confident that our firearms licensing procedures were robust and fit for purpose.
"ACC Whiting's review has confirmed that Bird owned his firearms lawfully and that we could not have used our firearms licensing process to identify him as a risk or prevent the tragic shootings in west Cumbria."
The relatives of the victims were given the opportunity to view the report before it was published today, Mr Mackey said.

|First Version of MegaMega
Back in 2012 I read "Beginning Android Games" and I wanted to test my understanding of what I learned from the book so I wrote the first version of MegaMega. It was a very basic game. The player had to survive until the entire play field was filled with blocks. Blocks could only be destroyed as they fell down. After a month of messing around with the game mechanics the game was shelved due to other projects taking up my time. It was written using the framework found in "Beginning Android Games".
|Second Version of MegaMega w/Falling Blocks
Fast forward to the Summer of 2013. After some nudging by a friend I decided to start working on MegaMega again. This time I decided to drop the falling block mechanic and instead use the blocks as barriers which are used by the game enemies to protect themselves from the player. Basically they serve the same purpose the spikes do in Tempest except that the player can not impale himself on the spikes/block. This time around I decided to use libGDX. It has come a long way in the last year and it is being used by a lot of Android games.
|Third Version of MegaMega w/Basic Game Play
|Final Version of MegaMega
Game Design
The objective of the game is to survive through 15 zones (levels) of enemies to reach a "treasure".
Originally I wanted to do 100 zones. But due to time constraints I limited the game to 15 zones.
I split the 15 zones into three groups of zones based on difficulty:
- EASY zones 1 to 4
- MEDIUM zones 5 to 10
- HARD zones 11 to 15
For each difficulty group different music is used to notify the player that the difficulty of the game had increased.
In each zone the player must clear a fixed number of enemies in order to advance.
Since there are so few zones. I decided that the player only gets 3 lives and 3 smart bombs per life.
The smart bombs destroy all enemies and enemy missiles which are see on the play field.
The game play field is 360x320 units. Divided into 20x20 cells. So there are 18 columns and 16 rows.
CRAWLERS -- attack the player from all sides. Move down towards the player and try to reach his row and collide with him.
FLYERS -- fly from left to right and right to left dropping missiles on the player. The missiles have a velocity with a x and y component.
TRIGUNS -- drop down and fire three missiles in a striaght line at the player and then leave the play field.
DROPBOMS -- drop down and when they reach the player's row they explode into two smaller dropbombs which move to the left and right of the spot where the dropbomb exploded.
Enemies spawn at different (progressively longer) intervals as the game difficulty increases and the number of enemies spawned per spawn event increases as the difficulty increases.
Where enemies spawn depends on the type of enemy. Crawlers, Dropbombs, and Triguns spawn in columns. Flyers spawn in rows.
Dropbombs and Triguns spawn primarily in the center columns. They have a lower probability of spawning in the far left and far right columns. This was determined after play testing. If allowed to spawn in any column then game play became impossible for the player.
Flyers spawn primarily in the upper rows. As the game difficulty increases there is a higher chance that the a flyer will spawn at a row very close to the player. Flyers also move from left to right and right to left.
Libraries and Tools Used
I worked on the game on my Linux workstation and my laptop (Macbook Pro). The following tools were used:
- libGDX - without this great library the game would not have been possible. It nicely abstracts away a lot of the pain of dealing with Android for game programming.
- Audacity - for audio editing
- Inkscape - for drawing sprites
- GIMP - misc image editing
- Eclipse+ADT - programming
- freesound.org - most the sounds and music came from here
- the player cannon sound was made using SFXR
- git
+bitbucket.org for version control
- Processing - for quick sketches to experiment with ideas
- Trello - for task tracking
MegaMega was a fun project to work on. I started working on it in mid-July and it was finished by mid-August. I estimate I spent between 80 to 100 hours working on the game--with most of my time spent working on assets and tweaking game play. Completing this project fulfilled a long term dream of mine to have written a SHMUP style game for a hand held device.

|Gender Gap in High School
|Next They Will Lay Off the Journalists
by Christopher Chantrill
April 19, 2006 at 4:11 pm
AFTER THE STELLAR economic growth of the last 25 years you would think that all serious presidential contenders would be talking expansively about the wonders of low tax rates and the wisdom of the market. But you would be wrong, according to Larry Kudlow. A President Hillary Clinton would take us back to the days to industrial policy and a national investment authority. Sounds like Old Europe. Said Hillary in Chicago:
Tax cuts are not the cure-all for everything that ails the American economy, and that instead we need the right tax system [and] the right investment, including infrastructure. . . . decisions and policies that only all of us acting together through our government can make to set the stage for future prosperity.
Of course, this is suitably vague, but it does suggest a lot of top-down political control. And if the infrastructure of the nation needs investment, it is because liberals siphoned the nations wealth in the 1960s and 1970s into social programs, and sneered at continuing to build highways until we had paved the nation over.
Of course, no speech from a Democrat would be complete without a bit of class warfare. Said Hillary:
America did not build the greatest economy in the world because we have rich people.
Thats true. We built the railroads with the money of rich people in Britain. But it is also true that we have rich people in the United States because we have built the greatest economy in the world.
There is another way to grow the economy and bring prosperity to Americans. Writes Kudlow:
Two weeks ago I was in the Oval Office with President Bush and a handful of financial journalists. The president spoke to us about his growth policies and priorities, such as making tax relief permanent, keeping the tax rate on dividends and capital gains low, maintaining lean budgets, and expanding free trade.
This vision is in deep contrast to the one being set forth by Hillary Clinton. The president places the risk-taker and the entrepreneur at the center of economic growth; the presidential candidate sees government as the driving force of the economy.
Amen, brother.|

Francis Fukuyama, Trust
[W]hen I asked a liberal longtime editor I know with a mainstream [publishing] house for a candid, shorthand version of the assumptions she and her colleagues make about conservatives, she didn't hesitate. Racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-choice fascists, she offered, smiling but meaning it.

[T]he Liberal, and still more the subspecies Radical... more than any other in these latter days seems under the impression that so long as he has a good end in view he is warranted in exercising over men all the coercion he is able[.]
Herbert Spencer, The Man Versus the State
These emerge out of long-standing moral notions of freedom, benevolence, and the affirmation of ordinary life... I have been sketching a schematic map... [of] the moral sources [of these notions]... the original theistic grounding for these standards... a naturalism of disengaged reason, which in our day takes scientistic forms, and a third family of views which finds its sources in Romantic expressivism, or in one of the modernist successor visions.
Charles Taylor, Sources of the Self
Families helped each other putting up homes and barns. Together, they built churches, schools, and common civic buildings. They collaborated to build roads and bridges. They took pride in being free persons, independent, and self-reliant; but the texture of their lives was cooperative and fraternal.
Michael Novak, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism
For [the left] there is only the state and the individual, nothing in between. No family to rely on, no friend to depend on, no community to call on. No neighbourhood to grow in, no faith to share in, no charities to work in. No-one but the Minister, nowhere but Whitehall, no such thing as society - just them, and their laws, and their rules, and their arrogance.
David Cameron, Conference Speech 2008
As far as the Catholic Church is concerned, the principal focus of her interventions in the public arena is the protection and promotion of the dignity of the person, and she is thereby consciously drawing particular attention to principles which are not negotiable...
[1.] protection of life in all its stages, from the first moment of conception until natural death; [2.] recognition and promotion of the natural structure of the family... [3.] the protection of the right of parents to educate their children.
Pope Benedict XVI, Speech to European Peoples Party, 2006
No lesson seems to be so deeply inculcated by the experience of life as that you should never trust experts. If you believe doctors, nothing is wholesome: if you believe the theologians, nothing is innocent: if you believe the soldiers, nothing is safe. They all require their strong wine diluted by a very large admixture of insipid common sense.
Lord Salisbury, Letter to Lord Lytton
What distinguishes true Conservatism from the rest, and from the Blair project, is the belief in more personal freedom and more market freedom, along with less state intervention... The true Third Way is the Holy Grail of Tory politics today - compassion and community without compulsion.
Minette Marrin, The Daily Telegraph
In England there were always two sharply opposed middle classes, the academic middle class and the commercial middle class. In the nineteenth century, the academic middle class won the battle for power and status... Then came the triumph of Margaret Thatcher... The academics lost their power and prestige and... have been gloomy ever since.

In the armamentarium of techniques available for contemporary biomedical research carried out with humans at the basic, translational, and clinical level, magnetic resonance (MR) methods have become critical and indispensible, often providing non-invasive measurement capabilities that are simply unavailable from alternative approaches. The central aim of this Biotechnology Research Center (BTRC) grant is to significantly advance such MR based measurement capabilities and their biomedical applications in humans by: 1) developing novel image acquisition and reconstruction technologies and engineering solutions through five TRD (Technology Research and Development) projects, and 2) enabling a large number of Collaborative and Service projects to acquire advanced structural, functional, and physiological information to investigate human organ function in health and disease, targeting both human brain and the abdominal organs. This central aim will be pursued with a focus on high (3 and 4 Tesla) and particularly ultrahigh (7 Tesla and higher) magnetic fields, which provide numerous advantages but also pose several significant technological challenges that must be overcome. This is a unique feature and a particular strength of this BTRC;ultrahigh field MR and numerous accompanying methods for human studies were pioneered in this BTRC, yielding previously unavailable detection sensitivity and precision. This BTRC is also home to some of the most advanced, unique and rare high field MR instrumentation in the world. Collectively, these unique instruments and the proposed methodological developments are expected to be transformative for MR technology and its applications.
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a non-invasive is method that can be used for clinical, preclinical, translational and basic research studies with humans. This grant aims to significantly advance the capabilities of the MR technique through new technological developments and engineering solutions, targeting studies of function and circuitry of the human brain, and physiology of the heart, kidney, and prostate of the human abdomen.

Do penis pumps really work? This is a question that is frequently asked by men who are not happy with the length of their penises. You see, for most men, only a few things are as important as having a large dick. The business of penis enlargement products has become a multi-million industry given the obsession of guys to have a seven or eight-inch penis.
Size Matters
You don't need to be a scientist to understand why men would spend a lot of money just to have a bigger tool. Men simply want to be attractive to women.
While there are some people who say that girls don't pay attention to the size of their partners' dicks, the truth is that gals would rather have sex with a guy who has a humongous penis.
One recent study conducted by scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles showed that women preferred guys with a bigger girth for a one-night stand. The study also revealed that many women want someone with a 6.5 inch dick if they are to have a long-term relationship with a guy.
Chicks dig guys with big dicks. It is as simple as that.
While there are countless penile enhancement devices in the market like penis potions, patches, and pills, penis pumps are the undisputed best-sellers. The popularity alone of these products would give you a hint that a penis pump is really effective in increasing the length of a dick.
But what do penis pumps do that make these devices more effective in affecting the size of a dick? Let's take a closer look at how penis pumps work below.
What is a Penis Pump?
A penis pump is a cylindrical device fitted over the dick, with a pump that can create a partial vacuum to engorge the penis as blood is drawn in. Aside from the cylindrical device or acrylic tube and pumping mechanism, it is often composed of a hand grip and a plunger.
In using a penis pump, you are pumping the air out of the tube. This results to a vacuum that can increase the flow of blood into the erectile tissue called the corpora cavernosa.
The science behind a penis pump is actually simple and easy to understand. Inside the penis is the corpora cavernosa, which is filled with blood during sexual stimulation. When blood rushes to the corpora cavernosa, a man's dick becomes erect and ready for an intercourse.
Just like any muscle, the corpora cavernosa can be exercised so that it becomes stronger and capable of accommodating more blood. That way, your dick can grow an inch or two in length aside from getting harder erections.
Penile pumps can be bought over the counter and in many online stores. These devices are not only recommended for guys wanting to add a couple of inches to the length of their dicks. It may also be used by older men who are suffering from erectile dysfunction. Vendors of these products suggest using a penis pump for 30 minutes, and repeated three to four times a week.
Do Penis Pumps Really Work?
The idea may seem ingenious on paper, but does the use of a pump really make a dick bigger?
According to Mayo Clinic, penis pump results are actually impressive. When used correctly and regularly, these penile enlargement devices can help guys achieve harder erections. More importantly, a penis pump can eventually make a dick get at least an inch of extra length.
This claim has also been supported by other scientists. A group from the Department of Urology at the St. Peter's Hospitals and Institute of Urology in London conducted a study involving 31 patients and found that there was significant improvement in the length and angle of curvature of men who used penis pumps for 12 straight weeks.
Aside from being effective, penile pumps have other advantages of penis enhancement supplements. One advantage is that a penis pump costs less than male enhancement methods like pills and patches. Second, it is non-invasive. Third, it is easy to use.
However, the same scientists noted that some of the patients involved in the study confirmed that they experienced pain while using the pump. The American Urological Association, in fact, cautions against the overuse of a penile pump. According to the organization, excessive pumping can cause penile bruising and even tissue damage, although the latter happens only in extreme cases.
Is There a Good Penis Pump to Try?
Now that you are convinced that penis pumps have a good chance of making your dick grow by a couple of inches in length, the next question would be—what penile pump product should you try?
You won't go wrong in trying Bathmate, the best-selling penile pump in the market. Bathmate not only increases the length and thickness of a penis, but it can also improve the self confidence of any man. Plus, it is designed to enhance a guy's performance in bed so he can please his woman anytime of the day.
Unlike other penis pumps, Bathmate uses the power of water in making a dick bigger. It can be applied in a few seconds, and with the guy using only a single hand. It covers the entire penis, thus increasing the girth of the cock and preventing it from bending.
Like other penis pumps, you only have to use Bathmate for 15 minutes, preferably while taking a shower. For best results, use this penis pump three to four times a week. In as short as two months, you'll notice that the length of your penis would increase by at least an inch.
In the unlikely event that you are not satisfied with the results, you can get your money back as Bathmate comes with a full, no risk money back guarantee.
So do penis pumps really work? As you have learned from reading this article, these devices can add an inch or two to the length of your penis. You would be silly not to try a device like Bathmate if you want to know what it would feel like to have an eight-inch penis!

A unique and innovative program of training in maternal and child nutrition is proposed at the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University, which is the largest academic unit devoted to human nutrition in the country. The long-term objective of this program is to train individuals to conduct research that will fill gaps in integrative research on maternal and child nutrition. The short-term objective is to fill a major gap in training in maternal and child nutrition. These objectives will be accomplished by training 3 predoctoral and 1 postdoctoral researchers to link knowledge from the basic biological sciences to research conducted at the population level as well as to identify and address a variety of important research questions for mothers and their children. To achieve these objectives, trainees will take the course in maternal and child nutrition that has previously trained many current and future leaders in this field as well as a course on molecular nutrition and development and a course on grant writing. All trainees will also participate in a weekly research group meeting along with others interested in this subject. This training program will be delivered by 10 core faculty from the Division of Nutritional Sciences, each with differing yet complementary skills in a wide range of disciplines (including genomics, molecular biology, human physiology and metabolism, and epidemiology), and ample research funding to support the proposed training. Core faculty have extensive experience in collaborating in the supervision of trainee research and a successful record of training in maternal and child nutrition that has been established in 4 prior grants and a related training grant from the Fogarty International Center. Also involved in the proposed program are a group of related faculty from many departments at Cornell. Excellent facilities are available in the Division for the proposed program, including well-equipped laboratories and new animal facilities, an outpatient metabolic unit, an innovative mass spectroscopy facility, and extensive support for statistical computing. Other programs that provide relevant activities and expertise include the Program in International Nutrition, the Cornell Food and Nutrition Policy Program, and the Center for Vertebrate Genomics.
Improving the health of mothers and young children remains a public health priority in the US and other countries around the world. To achieve national and international goals, new knowledge is needed to develop new solutions to their health problems and translate these solutions into feasible programs. The proposed program will train researchers to meet these needs and, thus, to improve the health of mothers and young children.

Solon installed as Ecija's 1st female gov
- Written by Steve A. Gosuico
- Published in Provincial
- Read: 344
PALAYAN City -- "Let us become allies and not adversaries."
This was the challenge hurled to all elective officials by outgoing third district Rep. Czarina D. Umali, who was inaugurated yesterday as the first female governor of Nueva Ecija.
In her eight-minute inaugural speech, Umali vowed to prove her detractors wrong in the next three years of her administration as the new provincial chief executive, a post which she inherited from her husband, outgoing Gov. Aurelio M. Umali.
She said it will be to the best interest of the people of Nueva Ecija if elective officials choose to become allies and not adversaries.
"I believe it is easier for one to become an ally than an enemy. As your governor, my office is open in strengthening our coordination and cooperation," she said in a mixture of English and Filipino.
She vowed that for the coming three years, "we will prove our detractors wrong."
The new lady governor took her oath of office before Association of Barangay Chairmen (ABC) national president and Board Member Edmund R. Abesamis at the Sierra Madre Suites in this provincial capital yesterday morning.
She then administered the oath of office of other elected officials in the 27 municipalities and five component cities of the province.

I am currently in a situation where I cannot close the native file picker dialog that opens for a <input type="file"> element on a webpage. I can use the dialog just fine, it's working, just the "Cancel" and "Open" buttons have no effect. I can still use other Firefox windows, luckily, but I cannot access the Firefox window that opened the dialog, I cannot close that Firefox window either. I am stuck.
I had pressed the "Open" button of the dialog before. The webpage, in the background, was opening an alert() (apparently) that shows an error message from the web app. This might be what is causing the deadlock.
I see nothing relevant on the error console.
The web app is the admin frontend of a phone system (gigaset IP).
Created attachment 546124 [details]
Screenshot of deadlock: both File Upload dialog and alert() open at the same time
This has nothing to do with form submission; it sounds like an OS-specific event delivery issue...
In case you need me to check something, I still have the window open, but I'll have to close it some time.
Created attachment 546663 [details]
testcase (WARNING: will block the entire window!)
I managed to create a testcase for it. Would be nice to have someone reproducing that on Windows or MacOS X to check if that's really platform specific.
Actually, it breaks MacOS X and GTK but not Windows... and the way it breaks on MacOS X is different than GTK: the alert is never shown and the application is hanging when you click on OK or CANCEL.
If I set prompts.tab_modal.enabled to false, Browser does not hang on Nightly 8.0a1 of Windows and Linux.(not testing on MacOS)
Isn't it the same bug as #476541?
Soory for the missing link, it's bug 476541.
(In reply to Pierre Réveillon from comment #7)
> Isn't it the same bug as #476541?
On Mac yes. But it seems like it's reproducible using the GTK widget.
We could make this GTK though.
Per comment 2, back to GTK
Nested event loops are evil, and multiple nested event loops are more evil
(if there is such a thing).
The bug is in the nsIFilePicker::show interface because the "show" method
can't return until it knows what the user selects. That means that either the
whole application needs pause while waiting for the response or the "show"
implementation needs to run a nested event loop.
Further gtk_dialog_run doesn't hide the modal window. It is not closed until
gtk_dialog_run returns which will not happen until the nested event loop
The tab-modal alert is implemented with another nested event loop.
That means that the gtk_dialog_run nested event loop can't return until the
tab-modal alert is dismissed. The modal dialog prevents the tab-modal alert
from being dismissed.
We could adjust the GTK nsIFilePicker implementation to hide the dialog when
the buttons are pressed (instead of waiting for the event loop to exit), but
there would still be a bug: The file would not be selected until the tab-modal
alert has been dismissed.
Bug 729720 comment 4 also wanted to make the filepicker interface async.
A similar bug exists on Win7, although there is a race condition.
If the file picker opens before the alert, then the file picker can be dismissed and then the alert.
However, sometimes the file picker does not open but the window with the alert becomes unresponsive.
Steven's work in bug 729720 comment 26 would go a long way in helping here.
Thanks for the reference, but I saw the bug on GTK.
Part of Steven's patchset is cross platform to provide an async show() method.
I think this bug should depend on bug 731307 instead.
Isn't this security-sensitive?
Those bugs where "sec:dos" before. How should they be marked now Jesse?
Keep using [sg:dos] for now. We might add a csec-dos keyword eventually.
This should have been fixed by bug 731307. Might be nice if that could be checked by QA using the latest Nightly.
Bug 731307 added suitable API, and moves the nested event loop to run off an event, but, to fix the bug, we still need to not wait for the nested event loop to return.
Created attachment 654062 [details] [diff] [review]
implement async nsIFilePicker::Open and make sync Show close window on response
Even the sync Show() variant doesn't demonstrate this lock-up any longer due to closing the window before waiting for the stack to unwind, but that method still has other bugs related to not unwinding the stack.
gtk_window_set_destroy_with_parent is used to release the nsIFilePickerShownCallback (for the async variant) before XPCOM shutdown, when quitting from another window while the file dialog is still open. (That is the only reason the "destroy" handler is required.) The file picker would be of limited use without a parent anyway.

Do we really need these #ifdefs? Seems to me we don't.
The ifdefs were to help clarify which code in the override hierarchy actually gets used, but dead code is generally left in the build, so followed style there.
There was a single try build here:
It is hard to test this as it is difficult to send events to native dialogs.
The bug appears to be fixed in FF17, however I am currently using FF17 and the test page above still blocks the entire window. Am I missing something?

Lego Mindstorms EV3 pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
Did you know that Lego Mindstorms is now 15 years old? When it was introduced, we were almost able to claim to be children and the whole of kids' toys looked completely different. Imagine a world where your 10-year-old wasn't always seen from behind a tablet or smartphone. But despite the changing world of kids, Lego has never stopped being brilliant, fun and captivating.
To celebrate its 15 years, Lego has put together a new collection called EV3 that aims to be smarter, tougher and more hackable than any of the kits that have gone before it. These days, you don't even need a computer to make Mindstorms do some amazing things. All you need is a smartphone, and some ideas.
There's an infrared sensor too, which gives more options for programming. In the demo we saw, putting your hand in front of the robot snake made it leap forward and "bite" you. It's truly stunning how responsive and brilliant that is. We howled with joy at it, and also at the Android and iOS ap flexibility that you get. Giving the phone a shake made the snake do a little slither from side-to-side, something sufferers of ophidiophobia will not enjoy at all .
As well as the snake, we also saw a demo of an insect that would use its infrared sensor to target a remote, fire its weapon towards it and also go to grab at the controller. This is one of 17 designs for which there are instructions included with the kit.
The EV3 itself has USB 2, SD card support and Bluetooth connectivity. It has 16MB of flash memory, 64MB of RAM and the block has four input/output connections, to allow up to four of the blocks to be connected together.
The basis of Mindstorms is now Linux, so kids who mess about with them are going to be learning about creating projects using a powerful, stable OS that will help them enormously if they ever want to pursue a career in computing. But more than that, these kits are just brilliant fun, while being stealthily educational.
EV3 will be available in the second half of this year, and should have a price of around £350 when it launches.
