Are you sure that's what the link contains? Maybe AC wasn't telling the truth, and instead the link is the answer to life, the universe and everything.
How can you NOT look at the link now?
Check out http://readable.sourceforge.net./ This adds additional abbreviations to s-expressions, just like 'x currently means (quote x), so that people can produce much more readable code and data. It's implemented in Scheme and Common Lisp, and is released as open source software using the MIT license.
OT: Are they growing them in microgravity or some sort of spin-induced inertial "gravity" close to Earth's? Just wonder what plants growing in zero-G conditions would look like...
Whiskey Tango Farva? Not to put Nmap or Zenmap down, but WTF?

Sure, we can say that a machine that passes the Turing test is "intelligent". But then what? I mean, we *are* developing AI for the good of all mankind... right? We need AIs for doing things that humans can't/won't do. Chatting online does not seem to be one of them.
I know the comic addresses it; that's why I felt I had to comment on it.
Of course, if every tab is a new process, memory fragmentation is no longer nearly as much of an issue as when all the data structures of each tab are sharing the same address space. But I don't think the comic strip really gets into this in any realistic detail.
The overhead of starting a new process (in terms of both CPU and memory) differs greatly between OSes, but I would expect Google Chrome to perform better on most Unix-like OSes than on Windows-like platforms (without having seen the source of Google Chrome at all), due to the differences in process creation philosophy involved (copy-on-write semantics rather than whatever VMS-like OSes do when fork()ing will likely reduce overhead).

Yeah, give them 90's hardware on which to compile the entire browser source base (likely measured in the millions of lines of code), they'll love that! When you're a developer, what matters is being able to build quickly.
I hope I'm not too far off base thinking Microsoft has a breed of people called "testers" for this kind of work. Genetically modified, of course.
Sounds like a classic Unix architecture to me! Before threads, there were processes and signals, and it still works pretty well... I wonder how it will affect memory usage though.
BTW, old IEs had as an option to "run each page as a separate process", which improved stability of that browser.
No, no, you got it all wrong: the *media* decides what the truth is, not "science". Most media simply report what will generate the most ad revenue on a given day. Currently, this is the greenhouse effect hysteria (whether or it is in fact true).
Rubbish. Vista doesn't change anything having to do with the Internet Protocol. Umm... I think it's IP == Intellectual Property (in this discussion, at least).

Looks a lot like m-expressions to me.

The fact is, desktop has never been 2D. It has always been 3D.

It's funny because it's true.
Are you sure it wasn't because they found themselves using an operating system designed by Microsoft?

Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over.
Uhuhuhu, you said "meating"...
