  1. Re:Firefox 7 is already quite fast. on Firefox 8 20% Faster Than Firefox 5 · · Score: 1

    I usually use Aurora (Firefox 7 at the moment) and it is notably faster tan Firefox 5.

    Also, the consumed memory is MUCH better (and you can trigger manually the garbage collector in the new about:memory). Quite an improvement for us users with 1 GB only in Windows 7.

    don't you think you should upgrade your ram now? i don't think windows 7 actually 'runs' on 1gb ram, maybe it walks, or limps.

    ie9 cheats to get that animation advantage. it uses directx and your gpu is actually rendering the web page.

    even apple itself does not release new software for powerpc and you expect mozilla to do it?

    how is not using a crappy browser xenophobic?
    opera can't even display lots of sites properly. even ie has more html features and performance than opera. give me a few good reasons to use opera over other browsers.

  5. Re:Wow, talk about version inflation on Firefox 8 20% Faster Than Firefox 5 · · Score: 1

    because chrome actually works. those guys fix bugs and don't waste their time on pointless ui changes when there is a huge memory and cpu usage problem. firefox gets this response because instead of focusing on actual improvement, they keep changing pointless things like version numbering.

  6. Re:Firefox 61 on Firefox 8 20% Faster Than Firefox 5 · · Score: 1

    by that logic, shouldn't firefox 5 be 32(=2^5)? how did you arrive at '10384593717069655257060992658440192'?

    chrome and ie have long had truly separated processes for tabs and plugins. and it shows. there are no random slowdowns in either of them.

    true, 4 and 5 feel much sluggisher than 3. i can't even scroll smoothly through a long page. it scrolls nicely for a few seconds then jerky scroll and then smooth again. irritates me to hell.

    Norway is both socialist and democratic, so yes, it disproves the theory that democracy requires capitalism. But Norway also has a shitload of oil reserves, a low population (fewer than five million people), and cultural homogeneity, so it's hardly fair to compare its situation with that of the U.S.

    for real?? my CITY has more people than that.

    How's this for a plan, screw the IMF, screw the FED, screw IRS, hang the lawyers (which will include most of the politicians), imprison the rest of the politicians, put everyone of the bankster on trial, freeze all accounts over $500,000, enforce the rule that all accounts over $500,001 request a release of funds after a thorough investigation of where the money came from. Reinstate the backing of any and all currencies by precious metals. Sure, this is untenable, but if these banksters continue to believe that war is the only profit making scheme, then let's go to war against the banksters!
    We have been screwed enough by these degenerates, don't you think?

    there's not much "we" left after all that.

    actually it is. increasing the debt limit is borrowing money to pay off your existing debts. only now you owe somebody else, and a bit more.

    these guys are just barbarians. they go someplace, settle down, crush the natives, erase their culture and kill everyone who does not convert to islam. they broke the largest buddha statues in the world. these statues were monuments at the same scale as the egyptian pyramids.
    the muslim invaders came to india, they absolutely destroyed much of the existing heritage and culture. for example, they destroyed "one of the first great universities in recorded history" (from wiki). they burned the library, which had so many books that it burned continuously for 3 months. its called the nalanda university btw, just a bunch of burned ruins now.

    It's double-standard really. Not just from Facebook, but every other US company from Microsoft to Google too.. When it's against United States/Israel it's "terrorism", when it's against China, Russia or other non-western countries it's "helping activists to spread their message and bring down oppressive governments". Most Americans seem to think the same way, but for others like me who are european both sides seem like oppressive governments with huge amount of problems and most interest mostly being fighting or having wars with each other (yes, Europe too has its history and we're certainly learned from that.. well, the nordic countries at least. And we were originally vikings)

    of course. every guy supports and helps his own country before other countries. how can you be pissed about that?
    its the same as me having a double standard favoring members of my family. if two people are about to die and need my help, and i can help only one person and one of the two people is my brother, OF COURSE i'm gonna have double standards. similarly, us companies will, and should, be in agreement with american policies.
