I think why are webpages slow is the more relevant question. and to find a detailed answer, right click on the page and click "inspect" in Chrome.
click network - the amount of http/s requests the browser is making and how long their response takes. slashdot.org for me, a total of 151 requests from webserver(s) to obtain all data and assets for the page.
click timeline and profiles to view JS activity/response times.
the other part of the question - regarding tabs, it COULD just show the last rendered pixels when you click on the tab - but how long would this be relevant? it would probably quickly show it to you then have to run the scripts to pull the latest data anyway ( e.g. an ajax request for latest content ) - so in either case - it either loads on click of tab, or a fraction of a second after the click which would potentially just "flash up" the new data and might be jarring for the user.
I remember a while back I read about an interesting way to identify where this info is coming from. If you have your own domain, there are people out there who will append the site name to their email address when they sign up.... e.g. kenneth.facebook@yourdomain.com - then as you receive spam you can see where it orignated from...due to them sharing your email ( or if it was stolen ). Would be interesting to know if anyone has done this and identified the original source of the data.
https://www.drupal.org/project... is a module which pushes your saved content to receive the rich semantic data autotagged from the open calais web service. then you can install a faceted search module ( https://www.drupal.org/project... is an example of the module from Drupal 6 ).
I developed a large information based system recently and we used Drupal 7 and a plugin to push the content to OpenCalais which then tagged the content with the semantic info back into the drupal system. You can then use a faceted search which will allow you to drill down to your data.
states that "A Code of Practice for testing". So these measures are for allowing clear guidelines on how driverless cars should be TESTED on the road. This code doesnt relate to driverless cars when driven by the public. Hence, the tester should have indepth knowledge of the systems in place and not distract other drivers by not following expectations ( e.g. hidden from view ).
i know lots of companies are trying to merge their technologies until everything ends up being...well, everything! but ive started changing my mindset about all this crap. i was gonna purchase an apple watch - but then realised it was 'good' at the stuff it done, but not great at the specifics? i got a microsoft band ( 3 day battery life on normal use, great health tracking and simple notifications from the phone ) . i got rid of my 16GB Macbook pro ( which i was only using for watching films and browsing the web since i recently upgraded my PC ) and purchased a chromebook with a 14 hour battery life.
i used to love the idea of having devices that could do more and more stuff - but i think theyre losing so much focus that the basics of what SHOULD be great is getting lost.
the only exception i make to this in my life is my phone - as i appreciate all the functions it offers and does them quite well.

UPDATE: Here's Iwata's quote on the NX, translated officially by Nintendo:
As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development codename "NX". It is too early to elaborate on the details of this project, but we hope to share more information with you next year.
Also, Iwata said Nintendo's new membership service would play a key role in NX.
Nintendo, together with DeNA, will jointly develop a new membership service which encompasses the existing Nintendo 3DS and Wii U systems, the new hardware system with a brand-new concept, NX, and smart devices and PCs, and Nintendo will be the primary party to operate this new membership service.
Unlike the Club Nintendo membership service that Nintendo has been operating, the new membership service will include multiple devices and create a connection between Nintendo and each individual consumer regardless of the device the consumer uses. This membership will form one of the core elements of the new Nintendo platform that I just mentioned.
while i agree this would represent a cost saving potentially - i think you would be missing some key benefits though?
smaller, lighter plans - with no "meat and bones" inside to protect ( im thinking G forces, ejection seats ).
These planes should be able to maneuver like no other - retrofitting a current plane would probably entail cutting back on some of these benefits?
ever get the feeling Google is just throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks?
i mean, im not try to suggest their products arent good ( ive got the nexus 10 which is great ) - but they seem to at a stage of being reactive in the industry and if something doesnt make enough of a bang, they can it.
if i read the article, could i be accused of ''procuring information to commit Islamic extremist explosive attacks with remote-controlled model airplanes,' - i mean, if they go into detail about what was planned..... oh oh! they could even say "ive downloaded it onto my computer" with the cunning use of a cache.
this is exactly what it comes down to... what are the customer requirements - and what level of accuracy is required - i don't see 100% being achievable. The thing that bothers me most about the article though is how superficially the author is looking at the problem. its like someone who's starting out in development - and really not taking into account a HUGE amount of factors which will come into play.
even if you ignored all timezone requirements and just focused on keeping the clock in sync with the local server time - you've still got a difficult task to keep the hands with a high level of accuracy - anyone know how accurate JS timing is? setTimeout talks about ms..what if the device is under load? what if its a crappy browser on an old mobile phone?
agreed...
at one point i was taking the article seriously ( although not agreeing with the conclusion )
and then i read the whole "you could buy X ipads" and i thought...WTF???
one minute we're talking about office machines that people use for work, the next we're talking about buying a lot of iPads?? that would certainly be a FAR more efficient waste of money for a large office. After everyone gets bored of the gimmicks and realises they have real work to do..they'd be shelved.
the amount of times ive seen people comparing computers and the desktop market to tablets is starting to bore me. apples and oranges anyone?
i own a galaxy note - and yes, its on the big side. but when anyone asks - i always say that the thing i now do LEAST on my phone, is phone! so for people who spend more time on the web, streaming films, playing games etc. then i think a big screen is perfect - and i agree with another poster - people vote with their wallets - and larger screen phones are being purchased in huge numbers. i personally think if apple brought out a phone with a large ( over 4 inch ) screen with a great battery they'd be onto a winner!
FYI - i'm on a phone contract in the UK, that gives truly unlimited data ( no fair usage caps ) - so a large screen, plus netflix = great!
agree with this.
im the one who actually does the "work", and believe it or not, require some focus to do this. if every message that i currently receive as an email came through as a phonecall, my productivity would drop. i would no longer be able to focus on work, then take some time to focus on following up emails between tasks.
however, i guess, from the client point of view - they just want to find something out striaght away, so i can see why they would see it as more efficient to get an immediate answer with a phonecall.
it feels like two different types of workers.... like project managers vs. programmers ? ( just an example!:) )
and i work for atos...
we've been focusing on using office communicator more often - this reduces the cost of conference calls, and allows for realtime chat - love the integration with outlook too - knowing if someone is currently available, if they're about to go into a meeting etc.
i do however value email and its "audit trail" but i suppose theres enough paperwork outside of this, and technically, big decisions shouldn't only have an email backing it up?
this would make software extremely expensive to develop.
isn't there just too many permutations of events in software to KNOW that its "100% done"? and will NEVER have an error/bug? not to mention the area of users themselves being the vulnerabilities...
i dont understand the quote "95% of OUR customers"?
are these people who have previously purchased their games and are now downloading them?
I think its safe to say that not everyone who illegally downloads a game would have actually went out and purchased it. the fact that someone is getting it easily and for free can be reason enough for them to download it. so if they're saying that the number of people downloading illegally makes up 95% of their active installs of a game, this doesn't necessarily make all these installs lost customers to piracy...
isnt this money just going around the system anyway? so yes, it maybe seen that the government spend OUR tax money on things they could get cheaper..
but at the end of the day, public sector is encouraged to puchase from local suppliers. arent we then talking about local suppliers receiving tax payers money for goods and services, which in turn creates jobs and wealth? if they cut back and spend less, doesnt this create new problems?

Some of this is important for all devices ( even though its focused on mobile ): https://www.ampproject.org/lea...

is this different than the already discussed-many-times http://slashdot.org/?fhfilter=... ?
forgot to say, you can get a pre-setup version of drupal to do some of this too : http://openpublishapp.com/ - at the time this was already setup to work with opencalais - ( http://www.opencalais.com/cala... )

does this law exist in America? i know we have it here in the UK - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incitement_to_ethnic_or_racial_hatred
