What? They throttle DNS requests? I am not sure how effective it will be, since DNS requests are cached and you dont have to ask the DNS server when you revisit the website.
If you see improvement by switching to google DNS servers, it is very likely that RCN has a really slow server (or has an inefficient caching algo) handling DNS request or that the latency to reach RCN DNS servers are higher than google's.
Why not? The GSM/CDMA part can still be implemented separately, say on a separate chip and the all other functions of the phone on an arm processor which can run any compatible OS of your choice, may be even an OSS OS.
This way, the cell tower is safe and you get to run any application/library, add external devices to the phone without requiring the blessings of the manufacturer or the cell phone providers.
I dont understand why this is not possible. Hell, they could even make a USB based GSM/CDMA card, that could be used with any laptop/palmtop that supports USB. Want to switch providers, just use a new usb card.
The only reason why they dont make these is that, the cell phone providers want *complete* control over any thing related to cell phones.
Yeah right, the same people who did not go ape-shit for warrant-less wire tapping, are going ape-shit on yahoo giving the govt your data when presented with a warrant.
Sell it to researchers, since insurance company wouldnt benefit much from such a small set of DNA samples.
Or else just discard everything except DNA of famous people (in case they have any) and auction it!
Default configuration for XP for HP 1010s worked fine, install firefox and you're good to go. Now FF is so much worse, even maxed on RAM, you cannot watch Hulu or Netflix streaming on them.
Just curious... Do IE6/7/8 or chrome perform to your satisfaction for viewing Hulu, Netflix? How do non-flash based websites do on firefox, IE and chrome.
Sorry for so many questions, I just dont have access to such hardware to learn more.
Mmmm Interesting.. do you have greasemonkey and other memory hog addons? And you should stop visiting websites that are a memory hog (i would count slashdot among them)
And could you also mention the platform you are in, iirc flash is available on x86-64
And coming back to the point, i am not so sure a few more visits to google maps (without flash) will hit 4GB. May be 30-40 tabs of gmaps, even then may be.
I expect my browser to be well under 1GB. In fact, since all it's doing is rendering web pages, it should be well under 100MB.
Disable flash. And dont browse websites that are a memory hog (this includes slashdot). And voila you will have a Firefox running well under 100 MB memory foot print.
May be... just may be... it is these websites that need fixing rather than firefox?
In fact, memory's been getting more precious lately because of the 4GB limit that a lot of MOBOs face.
Do you seriously believe firefox will test the 4GB limit?
That shouldn't happen with a project whose stated goal is to be simpler. Resist the feature creep. More isn't better.
Feature creep? As someone else questioned in a post, What feature would you like to be removed (except awesome bar, which I am not sure consumes as much resources)
If the mouse was never invented, EMACS (and vi) would still be one of the best interfaces. But the mouse was invented and things changed. I believe the grant parent had already covered this, by saying unless we are to drop the keyboard/mouse, dont expect a UI revamp.
I am no expert in chemistry or toxicology, so that take my comment with heaps of salt
The major composition of emission(CO, CO2, NO2, SO2 gases) will no way get collected during condensation. The condensed liquid/solid will contain all sort of hydrocarbons with various amounts of nitrogen, sulfur and their oxides. It should be an interesting mixture/tar (which I am not really sure will be consistent), which is very likely to not fall under any category of posions (atleast at the dosage the farmer is using).
Slashdot Mirror
I'd buy that for 2!
I wonder if google will be willing to use its huge database (searchresults/e-mails) to track down these scammers.
Amen?

This is incompetence, not malice.
LOL, that was a good one!!
What you were not sarcastic?

RTFA, Google is doing just what answers.com used to do. They just aggregate other free dictionaries.
Foreign nationals but american citizens probably. I would be surprised if companies had 70-80% of their workforce on H1B visas.
Can it break passwords too?

VPNs?
Gnome + gksudo does that!

None, unless the employer has specifically agreed. If you believe otherwise, then prove it.
Ever heard of Subtitles?

I wonder, how much resources it will take to crack the crypto, say if the govt or the NSA wants to do it?
Tor can - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)#Hidden_services But I suspect too many people trying to connect to it, can make correlation attacks a bit easier.

Seriously why not Japan, or most European countries?
