I, for one, (and I share this with absolutely nobody it seems) read text about three times faster on my desktop compared to books/newspapers. The ability to highlight text on the fly while reading, the vast amount of extra text that you can view at once and the fact that it is 100% flat is just heaven to me.
1. Windows 7 has better OpenGL performance no matter what hardware and what drivers you throw at it. 2. 1.5GB? Sorry but I thought Windows 7 didn't use more than 200-300MB RAM and cached out wasted RAM space? 3. What are you running next to GNU+Linux?
No, karma whoring is to post something completely obvious you know will be modded up and not add anything to the discussion solely because you want to boost your karma. Unlike this comment.

Maybe that's why our population keeps growing? Anyway we're doing pretty good; while the natural balance in the ecosystem is gone, humans are not killing it. OK maybe some species go extinct, but when was the last time you saw other species imbalance nature and persueing to fix the balance on their own?
Hell some humans are even trying to figure out how to create(/restore?) a livable ecosystem on Mars!
Anyway most of the time people feel like Firefox is leaking while it isn't, due to caching. At least with verion 3.6.4 you can go to Edit -> Prefferences -> Advanced -> Network and specify the limit of what Firefox may cache.
But it doesn't matter that Wikileaks thinks it is ok, they aren't the ones who decide whether or not to prosecute people.
Excuse me, but WTF. It is not a matter of who has the right to play the king of the hill, it is a matter of who manages to play the king of the hill. This is planet earth, who the hell wants their asses to be ruled by governments and who the hell likes the fact that those that take your life hostage by means of 'government' keep secrets from you that might include... hmmmm... I don't know... the fact that they killed innocent people that didn't want to take part in the RL "let's kill each other" game?
In other words; PUT THAT IGNORENCE OF YOURS BACK INTO YOUR ASS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
It only matters that the US government told him not to do it, he agreed not to, then did it anyway knowing he was in violation of the law.
I don't wanna persue the captain obvious degree but... this has been posted sooooo many times before on/. and other sites and it this has already been done one freakijng year ago...

It's sooooooooooooooooooooo unfair, isn't it? Linux does exactly the same thing after the X session login and your session has to be loaded.
Wait, also *BSD... and... every other self respecting multi-user OS on the planet...

Linux user here (so much for disclaimers)...
XP cold boots in under 2 minutes on... ehm... a very old Dell Pentium4 laptop with a horribly slow HDD. But maybe you are not only booting XP but also a whole cargo load of extra's along with it, like additional services, systray diver apps, potentialy malware (which you, of course, do not have because you have a virus scanner, right? *bonus points if you can see what I did here*).
"We need to monitor your internet searches. You know, to prevent pedophilia." If you want to prevent pedophilia, you'll have to raise awareness of the fact that pedophilia is caused by a defective hypophyse and that there are stimula that can treat pedophilia as it is actually a sickness. So you better not fscking monitor my internet searches because that will label you a non-democratic, dictatorial government. Furthermorer- "But, but-" Shut the fsck up! I wasn't done talking, mister! Furthermore instead of monitoring searches for chil porn, you'd better spend your time catching and presecuting the people that actually raped these innocent children, mister! "Errrr... ehmmmm... I..." Now stand the fsck back from my goddamn internet access, you anti-western activist!
Extra point to somebody who will actually pull this off.
Someone who educates himself and gets a little facepalm|angry at people who not only try to flamebait, but in the proces spout the most stupid things around making a double fool of themselves.
You see, you bash Chrome without even knowing what it is. Great way of making claims.
PS: I do not piss in my pants if I don't go AC when saying something rightiously negative:) Now go fsck yourself...
No they were sued for having a monopoly and tying a webbrowser to the Windows OS for free while webbrowsers where at that time not included with operating systems and definately not free of charge and in any way not fsck-standards-compliant.
Most gamers are young people that didn't loose their interest in games yet. They will complain for being too stupid to understand that downloading a webbrowser OS is only useful to browse the wbe with.
Adults will hopefully not make the mistake for downloading Chrome OS to play Win32 games and the ones who do not will hopefully make the idiots realise that they are idiots.
The reason people come to/. is to excercize and relax the brain at the same time. If you do not like 'borderline obsessiveness' aka going into a little more dept than Fox news or equivalent than what is holding you back on going oul-out stupid and discuss what johny the football hero did last weekend -_-'

Are there still memory leaks in Firefox?
Anyway most of the time people feel like Firefox is leaking while it isn't, due to caching. At least with verion 3.6.4 you can go to Edit -> Prefferences -> Advanced -> Network and specify the limit of what Firefox may cache.
Give it a try ;)

Browse the source code line for line to know exactly how it behaves, you mean?

You'd be disturbing the delicate balance of the local ecosystem...
Just say that you are smoking because you're an addict and everyone will forgive you xD
