This was released about a week ago. Saying that, I just clicked the 'Check for updates' in the Help menu and it said a new version (4.0 Beta 1) is available - the same version I've been using for a week. I updated, and the only change I can see is the addition of the Feedback menu next to my APB and LastPass menus.
You're wrong there mate. On our corporate intranet there's a section of javascript that's 256k in size. IE6 (corporate standard) takes about 20 seconds to load that while Firefox loads it instantly. It's not about how fast the Javascript is received, it's about how fast it's rendered.
Sure MS might suck as a corporation, and release dodgy software and charge more then acceptable for it, but their hardware division is actually quite good. I have plenty of MS hardware and it [i]is[/i] good quality, far better than the software. Don't paint all their products with the same brush.
The only thing preventing is their own population. I just don't think they would tolerate becoming prisoners in the their own nation.
They are prisoners in their own nation. They are not tolerating it. Hence the protests. Sure the fundamentalists have a solid backing among the populace but the rigged elections and censorship of protests show it is not as solid as they need to maintain power fairly.
It doesn't matter if they block TOR or just websites, they are still censoring what their people can see and read.
You are using comparing HDD's in a Clariion to your SSD's. Not a very fair comparison. Why not compare your box to a Symmetrix V-Max with SSD's, or even a DMX with SSD's. What you've done is like sticking a Ferrari engine into a Lada and compared it to say a Ford Focus and saying that your's wins. Just because your engine is faster doesn't mean your product is better.
Capacity is still an issue though. Although in enterprise storage SSDs offer a lower cost per transaction and provide a real benefit, they still have massive amounts of HDDs for storage on the lower tier. Outside of work where I would be classed as a standard consumer, it would cost me far, far too much to buy enough SSDs to transfer my 4TB of data from my HDDs.
No, not socialist. Fianna Fail - the majority ruling party - are centre right and have been shifting further right for years due to the influence of the Progressive Democrats party. While in power they sold off most of the state and semi-state companies, while outsourcing to private companies things that they should be looking after themselves. Letting private companies build hospitals on land of a public hospital is not socialism! Letting private companies charge us tolls to use roads that were built with our tax money is not socialism! I could go on for pages. Jesus fucking christ I hate this country...
Just remember that if you're building a golf site then stick to IE6 compatibility for the corporate users or you exclude practically your whole market.
Seriously though, does anyone even use it? If I still had a Mac that old, I'd rather run 8.6 to be honest. 9 added nothing much more than bugs while running slower...

Even to its own employees Microsoft has to give its new phone away ;)
AdBlock+, NoScript, LastPass, Download Statusbar, Flashgot, all work. The only one left I really want are the Web Developer Toolbar.

Sshhhh. If they give it away I'll collect a few thousand and build a free beowulf cluster.
It has to go this way for V to eventually be able to come and free us!

Looks like Google are going to try and beat Microsoft at their own game:
Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Today the limitations of discovering these congruent numbers is limited only by the size of a computer's hard drive.
Can someone explain why they didn't use more than 2.7TB of HDD space if HDD space is the limiting factor?

It's AJAX. It's very different from a frame.

RTFA. It's cheaper than DRAM.

Well that all depends on your target market huh?

Anything is better than yellow Comic Sans on a purple background!
Non-removable battery? What if I'm traveling for hours and my battery runs out? Oh I'll just pop in my spare! Or not...
Except that the atmospheric pressure it 90 time that of earth.
And judging by how long it's taking for anyone to even comment, I assume the answer to my above question is no...

Java sucks. It's slow and a resource hog. It just doesn't feel 'right' when using programs made from it.
On the other hand, I've never really had a problem with any .net apps that I've used.
Sure Java might be more open but as a user I'm going to use what is better for me - not what's better for the developers.
Can there not just be support for both?
If a browser vendor doesn't implement them both then it's their market share that will suffer, so browser vendors really would have no choice.
So... Why not implement both standards?
It's an automatic fail for me...
