on: A high-carb diet may explain why Okinawans live so long
Interesting, how can there be both a high engagement in fishing jobs and low amounts of fish in the diet. Are they very unsuccessful fishers? All the fish is sold to some other, by definition unhealthy, population?

If we have always been lazy, why is there now an obesity epidemic? It seems to me that means the cause of obesity lies elsewhere.

on: The Kids Who Beat Autism
For any parents starting to get worried: toe-walking is completely normal for many children below 5 years old and even older[1]. Usually they grow out of it as they get older. So I would definitely not consider that a sign pointing to the possibility of autism.

Actually, the Garbage First (G1) garbage collector was created by Sun not Oracle/JRockit. It did get production ready under Oracle with jdk 1.7.0_04.

on: Evidence that human ancestors used fire one million years ago
This means fire was used before homo sapiens existed, fascinating. We might have evolved to eat cooked/roasted food.

on: Not just the weather: climate change acceptance nosedives with the economy
Sorry, I can't tell if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me.
My position is that the study authors are suggesting a cause and effect relationship which is not supported by the evidence. From the article: "Based on their statistical analysis, the authors conclude the economy is the strongest influence on the public's acceptance of climate science". They only found a correlation and like you say correlation != cause & effect.

It seems to me that this is another case where association does not equal causation. Just because both the economy is bad and climate change acceptance is low, does not mean that one is causing the other, no matter how strong the association.

on: IntelliJ IDEA 11 is Out
If you can't get IntelliJ IDEA's JavaDoc formatter to do what you want there exists a plugin which lets you use Eclipse for formatting call Eclipse Code Formatter:
http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?idea&id=6546
I have never used it, so I cannot comment on its quality, but it might be worth a try.
However submitting bugs and feature requests with examples would be better. Many reports are fixed quite quickly. I did not manage to find the bugs you filed though: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues?q=%23rkalla

The mouse's too sensitive. A tiny flick of the finger and it is maximally zoomed in or zoomed out. Zooming a small step is practically impossible, at least for me.
Google maps has the same problem for me. I prefer to use the scroll wheel only for scrolling.

Very nice UI, except that it uses the dreaded scroll wheel zoom. Especially annoying for magic mouse users.
