No, he's saying that receiving internet access is a form of payment for doing corrupt things. Just like receiving bags full of money, fancy cars, or bricks of cocaine.

An earthquake took out the electric grid, and a tsunami washed away the diesel generators and their fuel fuel tanks.
I can't say I'm completely surprised, although maybe they should design future plants with an army of hamsters and hamster wheels in case this happens again.
Not just electrolysis. Per-compartment GC, landed in Firefox 4, helps this a bit, along with other-thread finalization. Web sockets help a bit. Generational GC or something similar seems likely to land in Firefox 5, this will help a bit too.

Well, I don't work [much] with IBM, Dell or HP -- but I thought these things were all pretty much the same.
When a load a Sun CMA, I make sure the power cables go in closest to the arm; these are the least important cables in terms of bend radius. Then I install serial, ethernet, and fiber.
Each of my 2U servers has two power, four ethernet, one serial, and three pairs of fiber coming out the back. Without CMAs working on these things would be a freakin' PITA - never mind increasing the risk that somebody plugs something back in wrong.
If your CMAs are stressing your cables, they are either really crappy or not installed properly.
I'd like to make it so that when I hit F10 the current window occupies the entire screen.
I tried to some AppleScript snippets I found on the web, triggered them off the key, no dice. Not sure why -- I may have to bite the bullet and learn AppleScript.
I'd also like to propagate keys like Again and Compose forward, through to X11. They get as far as the HID layer, but don't make it through to the X server for reason, and I don't know enough about Mac kernel architecture to fix easily.
Work-email isn't backed up because you think someday you're going to read it. It's to cover your ass down the line when the shit hits the fan. Like when you get accused of violating a patent, but your email proves that you were doing it years before the patent was even filed.
Also, it's so you can write snarky emails: "I as I told you on November 17th 2004, in order to..."
What I get a chuckle out of is the Microsoft product placements on The Mentalist. *Every* monitor on that show has a Windows logo on the back of it -- when have you ever seen that?
Then, for some inexplicable reason, when they go out into the world they will frequently encounter powered-off iMacs with the Apple logo stickered over to be a circle.
And look at the credits at the end -- Microsoft is listed as a show sponsor!
Knowing enough SQL to select, insert into, update and delete rows from tables should be part of any programmer's toolkit, and is enough to qualify as "basical SQL skills".
If you can't do those things, then you don't have SQL skills. Simple as that. Also, you're unlikely to forget those, even though 'create table' etc syntax requires a quick google from many of us on a regular basis.
I use basic SQL skills in development all the time - for example, when getting familiar with a new database library, or when I want to purposefully jam some bad data in the database.
This does not mean that I edit the database on live production systems, nor that I embed SQL in my application code.
I can't tell you if FF4 will fix your bug or not, but I *can* tell you that GC has been receiving a *lot* of attention from Moz, and there are more improvements planned not long after the ff4 release.
That said, the GC itself is not broken: the collector does release all unused resources (unlike the one in IE6 which can get fooled by circular references). However, this does not mean that memory is not incorrectly entrained, causing the growth you're seeing.
I've been using the betas for a few months and haven't seen any significant memory issues, except when using Firebug (which is also in beta).

But only if the no-privacy rules extended as far as the bedroom, bathroom, etc -- and plenty of hot chicks lived there, too!

Sync is pretty cool, although I thought it was fine as an add-on.
It's particularly useful when syncing your tabs to a mobile device; you can basically pick up your browsing session "on the go".
I know! It's crazy! It's like he's Hilter, abusing the Jews!
> Yawn, let me know how Doom from 1996 runs.
It runs as well on modern Sparc/Solaris as it did in 1996.
Pretty much everything is faster. A good hunk of the UI is written in JS, and the JS engine got a significant speed boost this release.
When I highlight a URL in the AwesomeBar and hit a key, the time to display the drop-down box full of results is imperceptible on my machine.
...because the specification has a significant security hole, IIUC
Let me get this straight.
You want a website which showcases new features in firefox 4 to work with firefox 3.6?
What would we be the point of THAT?
Please turn on the crash reporter and repro!!

Here's what a loaded CMA on a Sunfire v240 (2U) server looks like: http://www.page.ca/~wes/v240-cma.png
Sorry for the crappy picture, it's all I had. Sun CMAs are made by King Slide.
Cable management arms are a God Send.
Each of my 2U servers has two power, four ethernet, one serial, and three pairs of fiber coming out the back. Without CMAs working on these things would be a freakin' PITA - never mind increasing the risk that somebody plugs something back in wrong.

Yeah, I heard "Hey, Rosetta" on Jian Gomeshi's show on CBC Radio One the other day. They're awesome!

Wow, this Dexter guy sounds familiar. Does he drive an El Dorado and torture people really well?
> World here? Reality? Well in my "world" (indonesia),
I suspect most movies and TV shows made in North American really don't give a flying fuck about the Indonesian audience.

This is expected to be the last beta.
