The amount of RAM used for caching pages could be set by the user in the options. I think most Firefox users could handle that.
Sure, for geeks. But if we want people to stop using IE we must provide a credible alternative.
There should definitely be an option to tell Firefox to use less than n megabytes of memory, and let firefox figure it out, instead of setting the memory limit through the number of undo levels per tab.
Firefox would have to default to something, doesnt mean you shouldnt be able to change the default amount.
A quick look finds the option to turn off the cache:
browse to about:config
search for the browser.cache.memory.enable setting
set it to false
restart the browser
On my machine, that lowers the memory footprint from 125MB to just under 50MB.
Thats fine if you want to free up some RAM, but what if you have plenty, maybe you would want to to cache more than just 8 pages.
Whoa hold on there. Using geothermal power will speed up the cooling of the earths core. Once the center of the earth is cool the earths magnetic field protecting us from the suns dangerous radiation will disappear and well all die.

The agp specification is proprietary and you need to pay (heavily) for the spec. Releasing their driver source would be like giving away the agp spec. It might not be legal.
$164 to find out how to comply with the law? That cant be right. I suppose you could read the law they passed, but I hear most of congress doesnt even do that.
There must be something im missing here, what motive could congress have to investigate this guy? This isnt some major incident, most of the public hasnt even heard about this. I wonder what they are after.
It found that the code was often contained in those parts of the website not designed or controlled by the website owner, such as banner adverts and widgets.
So google is going to protect us from webpages that use less than reputable advertising and widget services. Hmm, maybe google should go into the advertising and widget service, oh wait...
Its someone at microsofts fault. Maybe they should have some regular people beta test it instead of just the techies that manage to get the beta programs.
Id like to see the spectrum used for more broadcast TV channels. Im sick of paying $50+ a month for the delivery of a TV signal that is full of advertising.
Slashdot Mirror
the state television station that documents Mr Putin's every move.
If you were trying to run an oppressive state, why would you want your every move documented?
Well it wont work everywhere, here in Massachusetts the magnetic strip was replaced with a digital barcode a few years ago.
and DTD stands for? Distributed Technical Dependency?

Caching pages in memory allows faster back browsing, but it can also leave a lot less memory for other applications to use.

it looks like the quarter-million dollars in prize money will indeed be rolled over to next year.
Just like the lottery. Think of all the entries as the prize money goes up.

Im suprised this e-ink hasnt caught on yet. Reading on regular lcds and crts is really tough on the eyes. Not to mention the saved paper.

Well TFA is slashdotted, but I think I can guess what it said. This GPU is super fast, super expensive, and super power hungry.

The could just tape a speaker to a phone, unless at&t has a patent on that too.
but since it's an American one I suppose it'll be used for automated SWAT teams.

Wouldn't this mean you couldn't refuse to hire my dog if he filled out an application? I think rover might finally pull his own weight.
Put these right on the CPU and watch the ping drop and bandwidth increase.
