  1. Re:It doesn't matter on Memory Usage of Chrome, Firefox 3.5, et al. · · Score: 1

    ^Best post I've seen all day.

    More on topic, Opera keeps closed tabs, with complete back/forward history so you can get them back if you need them (does Firefox do this? I honestly don't know.)

    I'd be more interested in a memory usage comparison after several hundred tabs have been opened, and left open. In my browser, I have many, many tabs open (likely a couple hundred.) -- I like my browser to enable my disorganization if I want to be disorganized. (I go through and close unneeded tabs from time to time, when things start getting too cluttered.)

  2. free books? on Google's Struggle To Reach Authors — of Every Book Ever Written · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So, is google going to have an ad-based way to read books online for free?

  3. Re:You are wrong. He wants Trusted Computing on The State of Piracy and DRM In PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    well, I don't want either DRM, nor Trusted Computing to be used against me.

    From Wikipedia:

    Opponents often claim this technology will be used primarily to enforce digital rights management policies and not to increase computer security, referring to it as Treacherous Computing

    I'm glad that TPMs at least have to be explicitly enabled by the user before they can be used against him.

  4. Advocating More DRM? on The State of Piracy and DRM In PC Gaming · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It sounds like this Randy Stude guy is strongly advocating more and better DRM on games to me. It will always end up broken, and will only truly inconvenience those who have obtained the game legally.

  5. Not a Smaller State on Palin Email Hacker Found · · Score: 1

    About the only differences are that she's governor of a smaller state

    Actually, Alaska is much larger than Texas:

    Alaska 570,380 square miles Texas 268,820 square miles

    Alaska is more than twice the size of Texas.
