I had 20 tabs open, I was at 350Mb in the latest FF. (10.0.2) Same tabs open in IE 9, 1Gb over 10 separate processes the latest Chrome Browser was using 20 processes and a total of 400Mb.
a Single tab (the home screen), Chrome uses 3 Processes and 25Mb RAM. Firefox (on this page alone) uses 1 process and 200Mb RAM.
FF has shored up it's RAM usage per tab it seems, but not on initial launch. How it fares in the long term, I can't comment. I close my browser regularly so I don't see any long-term leaks if they exist.
actually, they don't have any at the retailers, they're still not in stock. So technically this is pre-ordering, albeit with some kind of guarantee of what you get.
The thing was that it was Adobe that footed the bill for the H.264 licenses when it was flash based, not the browsers. And since Firefox is, essentially, a charity case, it'll be hit worse when the licence fee is shifted to them. I believe atm the only way to view H.264 content in FF is through the use of a Microsoft developed plugin (and in this case, MS pays the bill), and that's Windows 7 only. And after the whole click-sniffing fiasco with their Bing Toolbar, I am really wary of installing anything browser-based from them.
To be fair to Clarke, Time's Eye was quite good, and "The Light of Other Days" was okay. It's just a shame that the last two Time Odessey books were utter dross. Then again, those last two had more input from Baxter as Clarke's health was deteriorating fast by then.
I could say the same for Asimov, certainly with the books 4-6 of the Foundation series (still enjoyed them though), but Forward the Foundation, his last book, while maybe not heavy on the sci-fi, was a good book for purely personal reasons. It was a bit like an Autobiography, told through prose, with the main character standing in for the author.
My last phone was a Nokia XPress Music 3510. The only reason I binned it was because, after 4 years, the screen cracked and began cutting out or losing backlighting. I was shocked at how few Nokia phones there were on show, either in the "Pay as you go" or Contract sections of the stores (I went to about 6 to find the best prices). If there were any Nokias they were relegated to the "Other makers" section, alongside makers. Blackberry's got their own (small) stand, as did iPhones, while about 2/3s of the walls were the myriad Android handsets from Samsung, HTC, et al. This is in the UK btw, and the O2 store in particular had probably two Nokia handsets in total. The had more Sagem handsets than Nokia. (Not to besmirch Sagem, I have owned TWO sagems out of 5 phones I've owned since 2002, the first was actually my first phone, and was fine. Simple, but fine. The second got wedged between the inside and the outside of a car and refused to work afterwards but was a good phone while it lasted). Frankly, Nokia had a good thing making phones that were phones. Their attempts to break into the Smartphone market have been schizophrenic at best. S60 was supposed to be superceeded by atleast three different OSes IIRC. Maemo, Meego (Which was an evolution of Maemo) and Symbian 3. Now they're making Windows phones and, while I don't think anyone doubts that it's a capable OS (if not the best, I don't think anyone will say it's unusable), and requires only marketing and visibility to sell, I don't think Nokia realise that the name "Nokia" is no longer synonymous with "Good Phone", and hasn't been for some time. They've been overtaken by Samsung, HTC, Apple and RIM (and that's saying something considering RIMs in a bit of bother). And the reason is plainly one thing: They were late to the party and they brought more drink while everyone was already sozzled and sleeping comfortably with their poison of choice. It's like what happened with IBM and OS/2, they've lost and don't know it yet. They need to refocus to survive. Maybe in a few years a gap will open up when the next big tech leap comes out. Bide their time and come back stronger.
They're worried that "WiFi" has become synonymous with Wireless communication, like Hoover has to Vacuum Cleaners. If they did get sued, and I were the "Super WiFi" guys I'd come up with another name, it's not that hard. Sprint's 4G is called WiMAX (as stated in the story), so since they're in the White Spaces frequencies, why not take a part of White and Space and get "Wi-Space". Keep the Wi but drop the Fi and drop that stupid "Super" suffix.
yeah, it is, If I type in "God" it gets asterisked out for me, but when I log out it shows in clear text. It's an easy way to remember your password if you forget it! Just find one of your old posts that you typed your password into!

and ofcourse, 1 data point does not a study make.
I'm so glad Scotland controls it's own Law budget.
One more reason to vote for independence though.

Just like Hadrians wall protected the Romans from the Scots
They've got Roland Emmerich doing Asimov's Foundation trilogy.
We're all fucking doomed.

Once you hit distances that could best be described using Mm (like say 100,000km) you're probably best using fractions of AU.
And it's not that little either.
Hack the Gibson!
yeah, but those guys were hardened criminals. the general public are alot softer.
all this means is that anyone witnessing a crime there will feel like they're watching a Clockwork Orange.
whats even funnier is that Siri is just Wolfram alpha with a screen reader.
or because my Workmate went to school with James McAvoy, who starred in X-Men First Class with Kevin Bacon means that I'm friends with Kevin Bacon!

I prefer "If you don't want to catch AIDS why are you sticking your hands in that bag of used syringes?"
It's not like everyone will turn on each other in order to feast on sweet sweet Magical Shrimp.
That should read "Moores Journal" surely
£ is Shift+3, what are you on about?
