Nice bomb, Dazer.
ok...bad battle, but Pesoe's throw is wayyyyyy too good compared to others
Ok....i aint saying nothing bad about pesoe. Homie's got skill .... but to say his bomb is wayyy to good cant agree with that. Its good but in my opinion its too generic...no creativity. And it sucks that a lot of guys are going that route and all their shit looks alike. People gotta be more creative. Just my opinion.
I didn't say that I loved his throw, just saying that he easily burn other entries 'cuz they're toy throw. and I'm not trying to hate or anything, everyone once was a toy.
Im pesoe and yea you have a valid point maybe I need to let my pen go rather than make it perfectly uniform .
Only Fuck Fat Bitches Crew !!
generic and no creativity? lol that maybe true but all the other entrys,
are about as interesting as elevator music.

1600? No thanks! I'll stay at home and watch the blogs post the play by play online.
$1600! Yeah, because Apple needs the $$$
Can someone please explain to me why tickets for WWDC are priced so high? Why would anyone pay so much money ($1,600 a ticket) for what will be broadcast on ever relevant tech news site as well as there likely being live 'casts of the event (as I seem to recall from past years) as well as many other sources?
I have been to many other kinds of events at places like SF's Moscone Center (where WWDC is held) and others, like exhibitions, various trade shows, and some conferences over the years, etc and many of them were and are usually $5 to $20 to get in. There was one conference a few years ago that I recall being around $100 and that's the most I've ever had to pay to get into any convention hall anywhere and seemed like a rare occurrence.
So what exactly is Apple's justification for what appears to be such a comparatively ludicrous ticket premium for this sort of event? It seems to me that this unnecessarily cuts out a lot of smaller developers who can't simply shell out $1,600 for a single ticket, especially when the same content will be public anyways.
If there is something that I am missing that I'm more than happy to be corrected, though from where I'm presently sitting, this seems nothing less than another example of how people allow Apple to exploit them price-wise; I just don't get why people tolerate this (unless, again, there is something I'm just not seeing.)
WWDC is a week long. Multiple classes and the education you can get from there is extremely valuable. And the people you get to rub elbows with can really boost your development of what ever your working on to the next level.
There is a 1/5 ratio between attendees and engineers. Something like 1000 engineers will be there.
Also think that the tickets are so high just to weed out people that are just there for when Tim gets on stage and not going to take advantage of the priceless tools and classes that last all week.
I'm not denying that their is a lot of valuable content and people there, but I honestly don't see how the price of admission is justified, especially, when you factor in the fact that everyone the Apple developer program already pays a $100 annual fee. And I recall seeing a report about two years ago shows that Apple makes several thousand times in those ticket sales above what it actually costs them to put on this event, so I feel forced to conclude that it's not about recouping costs, but perhaps rather it feels like yet another way for their to appear more prestigious than others.
Also it's obvious that the price is well worth it in the fact that this even always sells out very quickly lol
1) Just because people buy into something en masse doesn't mean it's actually worth it. Generally speaking, there are people who spend a great portion of their lives learning how to successfully manipulate large groups of people, so I'm sorry, that reasoning by itself has very little meaning unless you can reenforce it with a stronger argument.Also it's obvious that the price is well worth it in the fact that this even always sells out very quickly lol
2) I've never seen WWDC ever truly sell out in terms of actually coming close to filling capacity. Apple is well known for creating artificial scarcity and using it as an excuse to drive up cost (yes, they are far from the only ones, but they are one of the worst offenders), as I know that the part of Moscone it takes I'm sorry, I've yet to see anything there that truly warrants the price of admission.
3) Other companies and entities hold similar conferences but charge a small fraction of the price to addend so what is really Apple's justification?
Also, Cowboy and subywrex, I haven't seen either of you address the point about needlessly excluding those among developers who can't simply shell out the $1,600, especially when you consider that in many cases one would also already paying a tidy sum for airfare and also for a room somewhere to sleep in. I know a lot of people who develop software for a living who would probably love to be able to go to a show like that but just can't afford that kind of total cost by a good stretch. And they aren't poor or poverty stricken, but your average middle class people. Why should people like that be excluded like that? What is the real justification, as I've yet to see a true solid reason as to why?
Can anyone really tell me that someone who is out of college is making money but also paying off college loans among other financial obligations is really going to be able to afford a trip like that, where the ticket to get in costs more than a plane ticket in some cases, not to mention paying for a place to stay? I honestly can't help but feel that Apple as truly forgotten it's roots, having started in a garage in a typical middle class neighborhood, and later those who helped keep them in business.
This really is yet another indication of greed of Apple, of those who drive such decisions. I wish I could understand why such premiums are tolerated in the first place, as that's what keeps prices high for everyone else. Nothing will change without more balls being flexed. 1,600 USD for an event like WWDC, as useful as it way be, is still a huge needless premium that only exist for the purpose of furthering Apple's faux prestige.
Because it isn't valuable for me or you doesn't make it less valuable to someone else. Like you said you've been and it has nothing to offer you.
WWDC is completely voluntary, I could see your argument if you we're required to attend if you wanted to he a developer, however being that it isn't mandatory the price the put on it obviously works. And if they make money, isn't that what business is about?
Apple is nice enough to give 150 students to attend for free. So they aren't all about greed.
Also who cares if someone can't go because of price. Is that a companies fault? I don't fly to Hawaii because I can't afford that. Does that make hotel companies and airlines unfair because they don't price so ever Tom **** and Harry can afford it?
It's the same with Apple computers. Not everyone can afford them including myself. Does that make apple unfair for not lowering down there prices?
I also have no clue why your so defensive over it. People can charge what they want. And again enough people wanted to go bad enough that it sold out in 2 minutes. If people feel "forced" to buy as you stated, well that's there own problems. No one is pointing a gun to there head
This is what I originally said:Notice that I said nothing about how it benefits me. It did actually. All I said that I felt that the price was much higher than it should be, that there is a real mismatch here. That doesn't mean I didn't take home valuable information. So yes, you were wrong so please stop trying to change what I said just because you failed to understand what I had written.I've been to WWDC before but have yet to see anything that warrants the ticket premium.
Absolutely it's the fault of the company that is putting on the show, if they are intentionally keeping prices artificially high in order to prevent a certain class of people from being able to participate. And when you consider that Apple doesn't seem to mind giving 150 of those $1,599.00 tickets away for free so easily (which totals out close to a quarter million worth) then I have to wonder if the price they charge is really warranted in terms of covering the overall costs of the event.Also who cares if someone can't go because of price. Is that a companies fault?
I don't fly to Hawaii because I can't afford that. Does that make hotel companies and airlines unfair because they don't price so ever Tom **** and Harry can afford it?

I have the same device and use the same driver. It works every time. Did you follow this? Did you try reinstalling the driver.
If both yes, then sometime simple unplugging the device and replugging it solve the problem.
I recently upgraded my drivers for my wireless usb dongle (edimax EW-7318USG) and now I can't connect to any wireless routers. NetworkManager won't even show them in the vicinity even though they are found with kismet.
The drivers I updated to are rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.3 which support injection for my particular usb dongle.
For those familiar with the particular chipset drivers the device named has been altered from wlan0 to rausb0 (not that I can in any logical sense make out why this would cause an internal conflict since it shouldn't have anything to do with NM)
I'm still a linux n00b but I've tried looking for all cfgs rel to NetworkManager and also googled to the best of my abillities. Has anyone else had this problem?
I'm wondering if this is drivers rel or if you simply have to play with NetworkManager. I'm considering reinstalling the old modules (deleted them recently) and reverting back and forth, if this is the particular problem, but it still seems tedious at best since this shouldn't be a problem.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for going easy on the flames in advance

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough -- Albert Einstein
I have done everything accordingly, but the problem still persists.
Also unplugging, plugging back and restarting the device did nothing.
Any other advice?
Also I should note that at times I get a 0% quality to the closest network (closest being ca 1 meter from the AP) in KNetworkManager, however it won't connect.
Even though it finds this network there should be at least 3 more within very close proximity.
hmmmm.... you are using Bt3, right? Try the BT4beta, the driver is built-in there, so you should be able to use it straight away. Connect the dongle AFTER you log in.
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough -- Albert Einstein
if you are using bt3 this works (BT4 also works, look at the end of this post), I have the same usb dongle and I´m using it to conect to my wpa encrypted network, install the 3.01 driver
and then download this rar file:Code:wget http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1.tar.bz2 tar -xjf rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1.tar.bz2 cd rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1/Module make make install modprobe rt73
drop the 2 files in /BT3/modules and boot / reboot
now you have a new program in your k meny, internet, called "wireless assistant", start this program and it will scan for networks, connect and enter your key, you might have to try a couple of times before it connects.
this also works under BT4 but here you dont have to install new drivers, just drop the 2 files in modules directory and boot/reboot
Thanks for the advice guys.
I oped for just removing the new drivers and reinstalling the ones found on the dvd (I'm using bt4 beta btw ) and now it works perfectly.
I can't inject on this dongle, but my Alfa arrived today so there is no need for it anyway
it woorks out of the box in bt4, I'm just have to enter this before at atack
and I can use spoonwep2 or swpa.Code:airmon-ng stop wlan0 && ifconfig wlan0 down && macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan0 && ifconfig wlan0 up
(can't get airoscript to work tho)

I keep seeing people refer to how gross it is to not bathe your children everyday and I guess I don't understand why.
We are very clean people, well groomed, house is clean (a bit messy at times with a toddler but clean) and we are great parents. That being said, we only give our dd (dear daughter) (almost 20 months) a bath about every other day. The weather sucks so she's not outside getting dirty. We wash her hands and face several times a day and she is pretty clean. Obviously if she has a nasty diaper or gets into something we'll give her a bath even if she just had one.
Just curious how often you bathe your children, and for those who think it's gross not to have a bath everyday, why. I'm not trying to start a nasty debate, I'm just curious. I've never felt like I am doing wrong until the last few days when everyone is talking about how wrong it is not to bathe them everyday.

Five Finger Death Punch open at no. 2 on Billboard 200
Listen to Five Finger Death Punch on iHeartRadio
Five Finger Death Punch have lifted themselves to new heights on the Billboard 200 this week.
The band's latest effort, The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell: Volume 1 debuted at number two on the album chart after selling 112,000 copies in its first week. The feat gives the group both their highest-charting album and their best sales week yet.
Their previous high-water mark came in 2011 when American Capitalist bowed at number three and sold 90,000 copies. But even with their career-best numbers, Five Finger Death Punch were still blocked from the number one spot by Robin Thicke. The R&B crooner's album Blurred Lines sold 177,000 copies on its way to the top.
Five Finger Death Punch will have another shot at reaching the Billboard 200 peak when they release The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell: Volume 2 later this fall.

Topic: My Take on The 3rd CanLiv Hepatobiliary Research symposium on 4/5/2013
Kim, Barbara and me attended the 3rd annual CanLiv research symposium at DC on April5. The topic is " Harnessing Genomics-Driven Therapy for Hepatobiliary Cancers".
Below is the summary of what I have learned from the meeting.
I asked Dr. Gores from Mayo Clinics about his opinion on what if the only FDA approved targeted agent Sorafenib ( a multiple pathways TKI) won't work anymore and what other targeted agent will he recommend next. He said it looks like mTOR pathway agents will be the next choice. He also acknowledged that it is too expensive to search and develop single pathway TKI and preferred if it can, develop multiple pathway TKIs.
From him, I also learned that subsets of patients can been benefited from Sorafenib and other TKIs that even though the research article is negative about the drug as a whole for the patient population in the study. This is also concur by another researcher in the meeting.
I asked Dr.jack Wands,of the Brown university/Rhode Island Hospital liver research center who specialized in hepatocellular carcinoma genomics research as well as on immunotherapy , He indicated that as a patient, I should look into both the immunotherapy and using the genomics-driven therapy to maximize my chance of survival. The immunotherapy such as adoptive cell therapy and vaccines research have come a long way but has gained ground recently in cancer research. He also agreed very much with Dr Gores about the findings that the future potential benefit of the Notch genes in cancer research and development.
I asked Dr. Daniel Catenacci ,he is currently the principle investigator for 14 clinical trials from University of Chicago ,about his opinion maintenance chemotherapy since he had mentioned it casually on one of his published research article. He indicated he does not have any opinion on it since not a lot of research had been done on that subject, but he thinks it may be of benefit to some patient. He is very friendly to talk to and has shown great interest in individuals like me who is relatively beat the odds and still survive ; he will be a great researcher and clinician for years to come.
I ask Dr. Kiguchi from University of Texas at Austin,about the comparison between DCA and DCM, the suspected chemical agent that caused cholangiocarcinoma in a printing company in Japan recently; one is dichloro -acetic acid(DCA) and the other one is dichloromethane(DCM), what I am trying to do is to find out whether these two compounds are related since both carried carbon and 2 chloride atoms,[DCA=C2H2cl2O2 and DCM=CH2cl2] And they both can be used as caustic agents ; he said he did not know the answer.
To be continued.
God bless

Angel Fire, N.M.- The Brevard College cycling team has won its third Division II Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championship in the last four years, scoring 629 total points as a team during the three-day event.
The Tornados held a 60-point lead in the overall team Omnium going into the final day of competition, with only the Dual Slalom event remaining. Brevard was able to fend off Union (Ky.) College for the title, thanks to strong performances by Mac Banner (3rd) and Daniel Ennis (5th) for the men and Erica Zaveta (8th) and Nicole Miranda (9th) for the women.
Cypress Gorry captured individual National Championships in both the Men's Cross Country and Short Track events. Lewis Gaffney closely trailed Gorry, claiming second in the Men's Cross Country event.
Erica Zaveta was the top peformer for the women, earning a place on the medal stand in the Women's Cross Country (3rd), Short Track (3rd), and Downhill (3rd) events. The performances earned her a 2nd place finish in the Women's Overall Individual Omnium.
"Myself and my assistant coach Brad Perley are so grateful for the opportunity to coach such an awesome team of athletes," said Brevard College Head Cycling Coach Brian Sheedy. "They've worked so hard for this accomplishment and I couldn't be more happy and proud to be a Tornado.
the neatest thing about this team is that they are all just as
passionate as we are about one another, the school, and the wonderful
place where they live, study, and train. How could I not love that?"

Yes, America is Still in an Official State of Emergency
February 9, 2010
A reader asked whether the U.S. is still in an official state of emergency, and if so, what that means.
The answer is yes, we are still in a state of emergency.
On September 10 2009, President Obama continued the state of emergency:
Does a State of Emergency Really Mean Anything?
Does a state of emergency really mean anything?
Yes, it does:
The Washington Times wrote on September 18, 2001:
Is the Times correct? Well, it is clear that pre-9/11 declarations of national emergency have authorized martial law. For example, as summarized by a former fellow for the Hoover Institution and the National Science Foundation, and the recipient of numerous awards, including the Gary Schlarbaum Award for Lifetime Defense of Liberty, Thomas Szasz Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Cause of Civil Liberties, Lysander Spooner Award for Advancing the Literature of Liberty and Templeton Honor Rolls Award on Education in a Free Society:
(Most or all of the emergency powers referred to by the above-quoted 1973 Senate report were revoked in the late 1970's by 50 U.S.C. Section 1601. However, presidents have made numerous declarations of emergency since then, and the declarations made by President Bush in September 2001 are still in effect).
It is also clear that the White House has kept substantial information concerning its presidential proclamations and directives hidden from Congress. For example, according to Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists Project on Government Secrecy:
As former United States congressman Dan Hamburg wrote in October:
Hamburg's must-read article also discusses the suspension of Possse Comitatus, the operation of Northcom inside the U.S., and the refusal of the Department of Homeland Security to provide information on the state of emergency to Congress or even to Congress members on the Homeland Security committee with the highest security clearances.
The Effect of a State of Emergency on the Economy and Business
The continuous state of emergency in effect from September 2001 to the present may have had a substantial affect on the economy and business.
Initially, as William K. Black - senior regulator during the S&L crisis, professor of Economics and Law, and an expert on white collar financial crime - has repeatedly pointed out, the government knew about an epidemic of mortgage fraud a long time ago. For example, the FBI warned of an "epidemic" of mortgage fraud in 2004. However, the FBI, DOJ and other government agencies putted their agents off of financial fraud investigation and forced them to focus on terrorism instead. See this and this
And as Reuters noted last week:
The national security claim may seem outlandish, but it is nothing new.
As Business Week wrote on May 23, 2006:
In other words, national security has been discussed for years as a basis of keeping normal accounting and securities-related disclosures secret. While "national security" and a state of "national emergency" may not be exactly the same, they are variations of a single theme - an existential threat to our nation - which has dominated American since September 11.
Similarly, Congressman Brad Sherman, Congressman Paul Kanjorski and Senator James Inhofe all say that the government warned of martial law if Tarp wasn't passed.
Last year:
Most of the Fed and Treasury's looting of America to funnel trillions in bailouts, loans, guarantees, and other favors to the too big to fails was done under the justification of an "emergency".
I don't know whether the official declaration of a "state of emergency" in effect from September 2001 to today was directly used for financial looting. But again, the fear of an existential threat to our country was used to justify the looting.
And many people allege that the government has taken drastic steps to manipulate market prices. If true, the president's ability to use emergency powers to "stabilize the markets" no doubt makes manipulation easier.
Congress Has the Power to Revoke the State of Emergency
A note to Congressional staffers: Congressman Hamburg is right. Congress does have the power to revoke the state of emergency.
Specifically, the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. Sections 1601-1651 (passed in 1976), gives Congress the power to countermand a presidential declaration of national emergency. Indeed, in 1976, Congress rescinded all of the declarations of national emergency made since World War II, as many of them had been on the books for years and were giving the executive unrestricted powers which were undermining the Constitution.
In 1983, the Supreme Court struck down a portion of Congress' power to countermand a declaration of national emergency. But Congress got around that ruling by amending the National Emergencies Act in 1985 to confirm Congress' power to countermand - through a joint resolution between the House and Senate - a declaration of emergency by the president (see this).
Moreover, in 2007, the Bush Administration tried to ignore the National Emergencies Act by issuing National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 51. But that dog won't hunt. The Constitution does not allow the president to unilaterally cut Congress out of the picture.

So I'll probably end up supporting one of the teams that make the Grand Final. Would definitely back NSW in State of Origin though
In my defence, of the blokes I used to work with, NSWelshmen > Queenslanders.
Not sure what to think about Ciraldo. Has the frame but never impressed me with it at the Knights. Could go either way.

Celebs react to Boston Marathon explosions
Some of music's biggest names are showing their support for the city of Boston in the wake of Monday's deadly explosions at the city's annual marathon event.
New Kids On The Block member and Boston-native, Joey McIntyre was actually an eyewitness at the scene, as he was a participant in the marathon and had just crossed the finish line at the time of the explosions. Joey tweeted that he was okay. His bandmate Donnie Wahlberg also took to Twitter to let fans know he was fine, adding he had "no words to describe the pain" in seeing his city "torn apart this way."
Justin Timberlake sent his thoughts and prayers out to everyone affected by the "terrible incident," as did Britney Spears, Pink, Phillip Phillips, Chris Brown, and the Jonas Brothers. Justin Bieber also gave Boston a shoutout while on tour in Europe. Alicia Keys said she was "shaken" after hearing the news. Ciara also tweeted that she had planned to make some "exciting announcements" today, but that there's no way she would do so "during a time like this."
Kelly Rowland, Lindsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne, Lea Michele and Jordin Sparks also shared sentiments. A number of non-U.S. based artists also reached out to the victims of the Boston tragedy including Victoria Beckham, Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, Simon Cowell, Rita Ora, Jessie J, Olly Murs, Cher Lloyd, The Saturdays, One Direction's Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson and the Wanted's Max George and Nathan Sykes.
See how the stars are reacting to the tragedy:

Does Maureen Dowd regularly credit others for their work?
Yesterday, I noted [1] that, according to Tucker Carlson, Maureen Dowd regularly uses other lines she hears from others, without giving credit for them. That conflicted with a NYT spokesperson's claim that Dowd is "eager" to give such credit. Here's Carlson:
[T]he whole thing is an interesting window into how her column is created. I knew someone once who was on her call rotation. Every week, she'd call and collect amusing lines from him, which she'd invariably use without attribution. Every writer does this to some extent -- I've made a lot of money over the years stealing from my conversations with Matt Labash -- but she seems to do it more than most.
Now here's [2] Slate's Jack Shafer:
Right now, I suspect that, more than anything, Dowd wants the whole mess to disappear. Even though she has a reputation for routinely crediting others in her columns—a point Dan Kennedy [3] makes today in his critical Guardian column—that doesn't really matter.
So, what gives? Does Maureen Dowd regularly -- more often than other reporters -- use "amusing lines" without attribution? Or is Carlson unfairly smearing her?
(Keep in mind that for Maureen Dowd, "amusing lines" aren't insignificant; they are her claim to fame.)

There's a reason we chose Mithun as Top Firm in our 2001 Leadership Awards. A large company that still includes houses as part of its work, Mithun designs regionally appropriate architecture that is at once familiar and new. "Residential work has always been a core part of our office, but it's now balanced with civic projects for cities, governments, institutions, nonprofit groups, and universities," managing principal David Goldberg, AIA, told us last year.

WATCH: Elton John releases new video
Listen to Elton John on iHeartRadio
Elton John has released a music video for his latest single, called "Home Again." It starts out with an actor playing an old man who starts a journey to return to his home. He gradually gets younger and younger as the song continues, and eventually ends up standing outside a picturesque house as a little boy.
"Home Again" is the first single off Elton's forthcoming album The Diving Board. The T Bone Burnett-produced album will be his first solo release in seven years, and will feature 12 brand new songs. It's set to drop on September 24th.
The 66-year-old pop-rock vet is currently recovering from his recent appendix surgery with his family in the south of France. He's expected to perform at next month's iTunes Festival and iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.

For some people, the thought of dancing with their colleagues in the daylight hours while stone-cold sober is, well, horrifying.
But when public servant Cassandra Pace heard about the Swedish "lunchbeat" phenomenon, which started with 14 people dancing their lunch hour away in a garage and slowly spread around the globe, she decided it was time to see if Melbourne would embrace the idea.
Ms Pace has organised a two-hour disco for city workers and uni students that is aimed at getting them to "ditch the desk" and spend their lunch break dancing with fellow wage slaves.
"I think it has a novelty factor — in today's generation you have to get really drunk and wait till midnight to go out dancing, so it will be really interesting to see if people will get up with their colleagues with little or no alcohol in their system," she said.
"Originally I just thought it would be me and the people from my office, but there's been interest and I'm hoping it can become a regular thing."
The Swedish lunchtime events started small but gathered momentum when they gained international media attention, including from Oprah Winfrey and the BBC. There is now a free online start-up guide, and organisers claim to have 25 international "branches".
The Melbourne lunch disco, which will be held at Chinatown's Ding Dong Lounge, is loosely based on the Swedish example but will not strictly follow its "manifesto", which requires organisers to provide lunch and keep the event alcohol and sponsorship-free and not-for-profit.
But the "no talk about work" rule will be retained.
Instead the bar will be open and if the disco makes a small profit, it will be used to cover some of the costs.
The event will be held on November 22 as part of the City of Melbourne's Music Week, with the first hour featuring funk tunes with DJ Manchild and a second hour of classic 1980s and '90s music with DJ Fiona Scott-Norman.

Creating a quizz is a very interesting way to promote your book. I have to say that my score was 50% (or 10) which I think is great because I haven't used Javascript in one year. It should have been 11 but I was a bit too quick to click on one of the answers
Hey molona,
Glad to see you having a go at the quiz - congratulations on a great score!I too, scored 50% - but some of the questions were devilish (function hoisting and all that).
@fretburner ; @paul_wilkins ; @felgall ; fancy having a go?It would be fun to examine some of the questions and find out why the answer is what it is.
I rushed through it the first time and got just under half of them right. They are all good examples of how NOT to write JavaScript as many of the answers are not obvious unless you take the time to properly examine the code.
To start off on why the code in the questions give those results, here's my analysis of the first twelve questions.
var foo = function foo() {
console.log(foo === foo);
The relevant part of this is foo === foo which is true
function aaa() {
test: 1
alert(typeof aaa());
A return without a value after it returns undefined (and the object is a different statement as a linefeed terminates a return statement.
Number("1") - 1 == 0;
1-1 = 0 therefore true.
(true + false) > 2 + true;
(1 + 0) > 2 + 1 is false.
function bar() {
return foo;
foo = 10;
function foo() {}
var foo = '11';
alert(typeof bar());
Hoisting the declarations and removing the unreachable statements makes this the equivalent of:
function bar() {
var foo;
function foo() {}
return foo;
alert(typeof bar());
so it alerts function.
"1" - - "1";
1 - -1 = 1 + 1 = 2
var x = 3;
var foo = {
x: 2,
baz: {
x: 1,
bar: function() {
return this.x;
var go = foo.baz.bar;
For both answers foo.baz.bar() gets run - the difference is the scope it runs in which determines which of the x values that this.x refers to
First value:
go() executes in global scope so this is window so x is 3
Second value:
foo.baz.bar() runs bar in baz scope so x = 1.
new String("This is a string") instanceof String;
A bit of a trick question since a new String is of course an instance of a String.
[] + [] + 'foo'.split('');
'foo'.split('') creates the string 'f,o,o'
concatenating an empty array to a string does not change the string.
new Array(5).toString();
Creates an array of five entries all of which are undefined and then converts then to a string giving ',,,,'
var myArr = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'];
myArr.length = 0;
Setting the length of an array to zero empties the content so this returns ['bin']
String('Hello') === 'Hello';
JavaScript treats string primitives and string objects as the same type when doing comparisons
Yeah, that's for sure and I think they are intended to be quite devious.Nonetheless, it's fun to workout why the answers are like they are, as these are things that come up from time to time.
I got this right, too. foo is a function which is equal to itself.
I got this wrong, as I missed the fact that a linefeed terminates a return statement
I didn't realise that any arithmetic operation will convert booleans to numbers.This is quite amusing, as you can do: true + true + true === 3
true + true + true === 3
Good explanation. I knew that the function and the var would get hoisted, but I couldn't remember in which order.
Indeed.Although the quotes had me a bit confused
This I don't get.I would have thought both run in same scope.
I went for ["f", "o", "o"], which is what it would have returned in Ruby.
["f", "o", "o"]
Yup.I also remembered this trick of creating an array with n amount of undefined entries: Array.apply(0, Array(n))Which I read about here: http://ariya.ofilabs.com/2013/07/prime-numbers-factorial-and-fibonacci-series-with-javascript-array.html
Array.apply(0, Array(n))
I didn't know/remember this (but guessed correctly :))
Thanks for taking the time to post those explanations Stephen.I appreciate that.
var go defines go as being in global scope
var foo defines foo as in global scope
baz is defined in foo scope and bar is defined in baz scope
So even though go() runs foo.baz.bar() the function bar() runs in global scope when called using go() and in baz scope when called as foo.baz.bar()
I got about half of them wrong the first time through. It was only when writing up the explanations that I actually looked at them closely enough to figure out the reasons why the answers were what they are.
I think the word "scope" is ambiguous. There are a couple different things in JavaScript that can be thought of as "scope".
There's the variable lexical environment. This determines what variables a function has access to. This is probably what we most commonly think of as "scope".
And there's the this binding. This determines what the value of "this" will be during a particular function execution. This seems to be what felgall is referring to when he says "scope".
When we invoke bar/go as a function and not as a method, then the global object is implicitly bound to "this", so return this.x returns the global x (3). But when we call bar as a method -- foo.baz.bar() -- then baz is bound to "this", so return this.x returns baz.x (1).
[QUOTE=Jeff Mott;5634354There are a couple different things in JavaScript that can be thought of as "scope"..[/QUOTE]
I actually refer to both.
With regard to lexical environment - go() is defined within global scope and bar() is defined within baz scope.
In the example being discussed the this binding is binding "this" to the object whose lexical scope the function is running in.
Can you provide an example of how the code being discussed could be modified so that "this" binding does not match the lexical scope of the object the function is called from (without using bind, call or apply).
"go" is defined in the global lexical environment, yes. But, "bar" is not defined in the "baz" lexical environment. In fact, there's no such thing as the baz lexical environment. A new variable lexical environment is created when we create a function. So the function bar creates a new variable lexical environment, but the only relationship baz has to bar is that bar is a property of the object baz.
Just wanted to say thank you both for the explanations.That really cleared it up for me (especially the bit about the this binding).
Good night!
Talking of 'lexical environments', the guy who wrote the JS test in question also wrote an interesting article on JavaScript's Execution Context. He also mentions hoisting and how that works behind the scenes. It's a good read for anyone who want's to dive into this stuff in a little more depth.
I have always though of objects and functions in JavaScript as being effectively the same thing. I haven't come across any instance where they behave differently.
So basically what you are saying is that because "baz" is an object rather than a function that the correct terminology is different even though the end result is the same.
It's much more than terminology. You've probably heard the phrase, "JavaScript has function scope." The "scope" being described in that phrase is the variable lexical environment. Functions create a new lexical environment (scope), plain objects do not. The most we can say about Baz is that it's one among many possible objects that could be bound to "this".
Based on this and other things you've written, I think you're under the impression that variables and object properties are the same thing. For global variables, that's actually true. But that's the only time it's true. Variables declared inside functions don't belong to any object, nor do new object properties create new variables.
Thanks. I wasn't aware that the way you define the objects makes a difference.
Hey fretburner,
Thanks for the link. Most informative.
Now I have a question.
From earlier on in this thread:
However, in the article the author says:
So doesn't that mean that this code:
is actually evaluated thus by the JS interpreter:
barExecutionContext = {
scopeChain: { ... },
variableObject: {
arguments: {
length: 0
foo: pointer to function foo()
this: { ... }
and that var foo is effectively ignored, as the property name already exists on the activation object.
var foo
Or did I get that wrong?
Looks like you got that exactly right. Both the David Shariff blog post and the ECMAScript spec say that function declarations are evaluated before variable declarations, so the var foo statement is ignored.
EDIT: I should rephrase that. The var declaration is ignored --- not the whole statement. If not for the return, then foo = '11' would have still been evaluated.
Thanks Jeff. I just wanted to be sure that I had understood that correctly.
You mentioned the ECMAScript spec. Do you know of any accessible way to browse that?I downloaded the current version, but a search for "hoist", "function declaration", "variable declaration" and "activation object" didn't turn up anything.Could you point me to the bit where I can read that function declarations are evaluated before variable declarations.
Appreciate the help.
It's interesting. "Hoisting" is certainly established terminology, but that term doesn't appear to have originated from the spec. It's nowhere in there. "Activation object" isn't in there either. I'm not sure where that term came from. What the blog post calls the activation object appears to be what the spec calls the VariableEnvironment.
"FunctionDeclaration" is in there, but without the space. They write it in upper-camel case, a formal name of a grammar symbol.
The part about function declarations before variable declarations is in section 10.5 Declaration Binding Instantiation. Step 4 binds function parameters to the VariableEnvironment. Step 5 binds function declarations. Steps 6 and 7 binds "arguments". And finally step 8 binds variable declarations.
EDIT: It appears that earlier versions of the ECMAScript spec uses the term "Activation Object". That term appears in the 3rd edition. We're currently in the 5th edition.

LONG BEACH - A cruise liner, with 22 passengers who were robbed at
gunpoint in Mexico Thursday, arrived in Long Beach today.
The 22 unlucky passengers were on a jungle excursion near Puerto Vallarta Thursday when a gunman relieved them of their money, watches, cameras and other valuables. No one was hurt.
On the dock in Long Beach, passenger Kate Berry-Shoefsengers, told KCAL9 that the tourists were on the trail "single-file, and this robber came out of ahead them and had a bandana over his face, had a gun, spoke in Spanish. The tour guide translated and told everybody they had to put everything on the floor and then told us to turn around and run."
There were no injuries and all passengers returned safely to the ship, Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen said. The robber has yet to be apprehended,
according to Mexican press reports.
In a statement, Gulliksen said the passengers were robbed during a guided nature trail excursion in Puerto Vallarta and that "numerous authorities were notified and responded to investigate, as well as assist the
affected guests."
Gulliksen said the tour has been suspended until further
notice."Carnival is working with guests to reimburse them for lost valuables and assist with lost passports or other forms of identification," Gulliksen said. "Carnival sincerely apologizes to its guests for this very unfortunate and disturbing event and is providing its full support and assistance."
Earlier this month, the U.S. State Department issued a warning about travel to Mexico due to the rising violence and killings occurring in several states. The warning came the same week Mexican officials made a massive
methamphetamine seizure in the state of Jalisco.

That is a whole bunch of laws being broken right there. what kind of parent lets their kid fly from Miami to NYC to meet a guy in his 30's? Who does that? I don't care who he is or what show he is on, you know it is not going to turn out well. Apparently the two had sex on multiple occasions while the teen was there. He is now suing. So, now there are four accusers who have sued. How many are out there who have not sued? Did Sesame Street know this was going on? Don't say no so quickly. Look at the BBC scandal with sexual molestation of kids. They knew.

University removes pendulum statue after Miley Cyrus parodies
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
The students of Grand Valley State University are fighting for their right to make viral videos parodying Miley Cyrus.
Until recently, the Michigan school was home to a large pendulum statue, similar in shape and size to the one featured in Miley's video for "Wrecking Ball."
Earlier this week, the steel pendulum was removed after several students climbed onto it, naked, to take pictures and videos mimicking the star.
In an interview with local ABC affiliate WZZM, the university's associate vice president of facilities services said the school decided to reexamine the "structural integrity of the installation."
Since its removal, some students have gathered outside the building where it was located to stage protests. The pendulum was installed at the university in 1995.

Theatre and Arts Management Program at Carroll University
Carroll University's Theatre and Arts Management Program offers a unique liberal arts major and minor intended to prepare students for continued engagement in the theatre arts, in theatre management or in graduate studies. Through traditional classroom work, participation in fully produced stage productions, a multifaceted student theatre season, and in-depth community partnerships, we strive to train the artist of today for the theatre of tomorrow.
Dedicated to new and innovative theater production, Wisconsin's first theatre organization was inaugurated in June 1896 with a production of Bulwer Lyton's "Richelieu," staged by May N. Rankin, the daughter of former Carroll President Walter Rankin. Miss Rankin developed the curricular program in 1901 and eventually produced graduates including Alfred Lunt, who, with wife Lynne Fontanne, has a Broadway theater named in his honor. A museum and theatre center has been established at their former estate, Ten Chimneys, in Genesee Depot, Wisconsin.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio man has been charged with tossing a cup of coffee in a man's face during an argument over political signs outside a voting location.
The Summit County sheriff's department says 58-year-old John Pegley of Coventry Township near Akron was arrested Tuesday on a misdemeanor assault charge.
He allegedly shouted obscenities from his car over political signs held outside a polling place. The other man said he was beyond the limit where politicking is banned.
The sheriff's department says Pegley continued to shout and threw coffee in the man's face. The victim didn't require treatment at the scene.
Calls to a phone listing under Pegley's name in the Akron area went unanswered Wednesday. No attorney is listed for him in court records.
Authorities didn't identify the political signs.

He started yelling at Rihanna and then threw an energy drink at her which was not Chernobly. Rihanna fell against a metal grate and cut her leg. Her bodyguard was also hurt in the incident. The guy who threw the bottle was right about the couple last week, but this week the couple is apparently off again after Chris Brown decided to have an orgy.

Police believe a grass fire outside the Brumbies rugby club headquarters and another that took eight hours, 19 crews and a water-bombing helicopter to extinguish were arson.
It comes in a week when the ACT's fire danger rating has been elevated to ''very high'' for Thursday, with sweltering conditions expected for the rest of the working week.
Canberrans will sweat through a hot and mostly sunny day, with the Bureau of Meteorology predicting light west to north-westerly winds and a maximum temperature of 37 degrees.
Friday will be even hotter, with a maximum temperature of 38 degrees expected, but isolated showers and thunderstorms may bring some relief in the evening.
Police said they were looking for witnesses to two deliberately lit grass fires at the Stony Creek Nature Reserve on Tuesday and the Griffith Park Nature Reserve on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Brumbies players were filming a promotional video for Fox Sports inside when smoke started to appear outside their Griffith headquarters.
Players – some in their playing kit – rushed down with fire extinguishers and water to try to stop the fire gaining momentum. However, it started to grow, and fire crews were required to ensure it did not encroach on the Brumbies' offices.
The fire was at the bottom of the bowling greens at the club's headquarters, close to Flinders Way. It burnt a hedge about 50 metres from the players's gym and only 10 metres from the new post-training recovery centre.
The Stony Creek fire took 19 firefighting units eight hours to control and needed the help of earth moving machinery and helicopter water bombing. The fire burnt about 10 hectares.
"Around 2.45pm, the ACT Rural Fire Service attended the Stony Creek Nature Reserve on the eastern bank of the Murrumbidgee River, about 1.5km south of the Uriarra Crossing to fight a large grass fire," police said.
Police are treating both fires as suspicious and ask anyone who may have been in the areas at the time to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.act.crimestoppers.com.au.
Meanwhile, fires continued to blaze around NSW on Wednesday.
Fred Nichols, fire mitigation officer for the NSW Rural Fire Service's Monaro team, said crews would be working in the difficult conditions to hold containment lines on a Yarrabin fire near Cooma that had been burning since January 6.
The fire had already covered 12,200 hectares, destroyed two houses and killed 700 stock animals.

Rick Ross addresses Trayvon Martin lyric
Listen to Rick Ross on iHeartRadio
Rick Ross is doing damage control after a questionable reference to slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.
On his Mastermind song "Blk & Wht," Ross drops the verse "Trayvon Martin, I'm never missing my target." The rapper tells "Vibe" the verse is meant to remind people that "if you're a black person or a person of any color" in America, "you have to be accurate" and "on point."
In an apparent reference to the trial of Martin's killer, George Zimmerman, he says "black men are being killed and their killers [are] beating the trial." Furthermore, Ross promises not to "let the world forget" Trayvon Martin's name.
This isn't the first time questions have come up about Ross' lyrics. Last year, he was criticized for lyrics on Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O" that seemed to condone date rape. The lyrics even caused Ross to lose an endorsement deal with Reebok.

Christmas is just around the corner, and you know what that means – it's the perfect time to get away and enjoy the holidays with your family in the peace and quiet of Door County. With winter just starting, you can enjoy a time of rest and relaxation in one of our cozy, beautiful suites.
In celebration of the season, the Chanticleer decorates every single room with garlands of fresh plants to give the entire inn a rustic touch. Each fireplace gets its own decoration, and each decoration is unique.
However, we also pay attention to the most important part of decorating for the holidays: the Christmas tree. We choose tall trees that extend to the rafters of each room and festoon them with ornaments of red, silver, and gold to make them look as festive and welcoming as possible.
The Christmas celebrations extend all the way across the county, in fact. From concerts to festivals, Door County will help you celebrate Christmas with your family in style. For example, you can visit the Merry-Time Festival of Trees at the Door County Maritime Museum until December 11th.
The festival is a wonderful way to introduce your family to the delights of the region and to learn more about the Door County Community. You can even take part in a raffle to win your own uniquely decorated Christmas tree to take home with you!
You can also take part in decorating a gingerbread house at other local establishments – what better way to spend time with your family than working together to create something delicious?
Christmas is a time of sharing and togetherness as we buy gifts for each other and appreciate each other's company. What better way to do that than spend the holiday in comfort with your friends at the Chanticleer Guest House?

Support our conservation efforts today and help us protect wildlife and wild places in the Pacific Northwest and around the globe.
Help preserve these beautiful birds while helping the villagers who protect their nests.
A project of Wildlife Survival Fund: Investing in endangered species before it's too late.
Hornbills are the builders of rainforests, consuming a variety of fruit and then dispersing the seeds throughout the forest. Because of the important ecological niche they occupy, hornbills are considered a keystone species. As forests are cleared for agricultural uses and illegal logging, these magnificent birds are increasingly under threat. Woodland Park Zoo has had a long relationship with Dr. Pilai Poonswad, a hornbill researcher in Thailand who founded the Hornbill Research Foundation (HRF). A Rolex and Chevron Conservation Award winner for her conservation work, Dr. Poonswad has established the Budo Hornbill Conservation and Education Center as a focal point of HRF's work.
The center gathers researchers, teachers, students and others interested in order to study the needs of the birds and their habitat, guide educators with curriculum on how to teach about hornbill and forest ecology, and teach students about the actions they can take to save hornbills and their habitat. The program also instills local awareness of the economic value of hornbills by employing local villagers as field assistants, part-time educators and guides, including monitoring a stable population of hornbills by minimizing any habitat disturbance and protecting nest cavities and food resources.
In 2011, Woodland Park Zoo Partners for Wildlife converged on the Seattle area for a conservation summit, leading to a unique partnership between HRF and Hutan Asian Elephant Conservation. Currently, eight hornbill species occur in Borneo, and all of these are still found in the Lower Kinabatangan floodplain in Sabah, Malaysia. The status and trends of these hornbill populations are largely unknown, however due to rapid landscape changes such as habitat degradation and fragmentation caused by timber extraction, forest conversion to agriculture, human penetration and other destructive activities, the assumption is there may be recent and/or drastic population declines. A rapid assessment of the habitat and hornbill populations was performed by members of the Thailand Hornbill Project in 2012, and it was determined that Hutan should institute conservation measures to protect and/or increase these populations. A complete proposal for a Hutan Hornbill program was proposed in 2013, based on this collaborative work and exchange of knowledge and expertise.
There are 54 hornbill species ranging from the African ground hornbills to the colorful and dramatic hornbill species of Southeast Asia. Because the female depends on the male to provide food for her and the nestlings, courtship occurs throughout the year in order to build and maintain strong pair bonds. The male and female invest much time developing this bond and it is to their advantage to remain together, year after year, returning to the same nest site to breed and raise their young, delicately navigating the potential for loss of habitat and food resources.
The Hornbill Research Foundation works to help the people who share the habitat with the hornbills. HRF creates income for local villagers through hornbill nest protection, monitoring jobs and handicraft sales at the Budo Education Center and at select US zoos. The Foundation provides educational opportunities to the local communities at the center and acts as a resource for local schools, teachers, and villagers through on-going camps, teacher training, art contests, and eco-tour training programs. Because of continued unrest in the area, expansion of the outreach and employment programs proceeds slowly.
The Hornbill Research Foundation's Nest Adoption Program is managed at Woodland Park Zoo by keeper Eric Kowalczyk. He solicits funds for protection of the nests of wild hornbills in southern Thailand's Budo National Park. More than 250 nests have been adopted since the zoo entered the program in 1999, protecting many pairs of hornbills and also employing villagers as "nest guardians," some of whom formerly relied on raiding hornbill nests for the illegal pet trade. Kowalczyk is also the Association of Zoos & Aquariums' Population Management Plan manager and studbook keeper for Aceros hornbills.
