Moist looked around, sorting hastily through the Post Office's recent little problems. Apart from Drumknott, who was standing by his master with an attitude of deferential alertness, they were alone.
"Look, I can explain," he said.
Lord Vetinari lifted an eyebrow with the care of one who, having found a piece of caterpillar in his salad, raises the rest of the lettuce.
"Pray do," he said, leaning back.
"We got a bit carried away," said Moist. "We were a bit too creative in our thinking. We encouraged mongooses to breed in the posting boxes to keep down the snakes . .."
Lord Vetinari said nothing.

Lord Vetinari repeated himself.

Lord Vetinari remained unvocal.
"Er . . . These, I must in fairness point out, got into the boxes of their own accord, in order to eat the glue on the stamps," said Moist, aware that he was beginning to burble.
"Well, at least you were saved the trouble of having to introduce them yourselves," said Lord Vetinari cheerfully.

And I am running SeaMonkey on Debian and it is using 650-700 MB (res) (~1300 virt, ~30 share) with 89 tabs. What's your point? And what does ram usage have to do with cpu usage?
Presumably the chrome would be rendered by a process that would look much like the processes that render the contents of the tabs

I think that those might be the same.
And I don't know if all that would help security all that much. Security on web is pretty fundamentally broken, to fix it would require massive breakage of the current web.

You really need to try a different example. There are only 5 wizards in Middle Earth (6 if you want to count Sauron (I don't know why you would count him, but he is a Maia)). And only Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast (and Sauron) live or travel in the area covered by the LotR map.
All in all, Middle Earth has a very low wizard density.
Slashdot Mirror
ATI drivers are great in Linux
Radeon HD 4350 (55nm) is ~20 W and I think should be somewhat better than a 6800.
A 3GHz P4 is faster than a 2.6GHz P4
A 3GHz core 2 is faster than a 2.6GHz core 2
A 1GHz R700 is faster than 800MHz R700
Anyway, the R700 (Radeon 4xxx) series has been very good, mostly equaling or beating Nvidia's current lineup at similar prices.
>Where are the 5W GPUs?
Intel integrated graphics
Great for ASCI Red. Now, in 1996, can I buy ASCI Red in a size that fits on a single PCI-e card and costs less than $300?
Even quad-core x86 CPUs are in the 10s of GigaFLOPS.
CPUs have to do a lot of integer ops, and have to be good at everything. GPUs simply have to crunch a lot of Floating Point numbers,

That was the first thing I thought of.
They are already encouraging people to write tutorials, and of course they have the forums and the Facebook-esque social networking thing.
I came here to say this, but I see you have it covered.
What about dbus? Are you saying they are releasing it for Linux?
Lock picking in Thief is not that hard. You must have been doing something very wrong.
I would certainly expect it by 4 aka Mozilla 2.
Unless you meant 3.6 nee 3.2 aka firefox 3.next which may ultimately may be called 4.
This is why the Mozilla habit of just following gecko versions was better.
I think HTML5, CSS3, et al have it covered:

pics and crash reports or it didn't happen.
evince. and kpdf is dead, long live Okular!
no, no one else reads Drudge
It could be done, and I think it has in at least one browser. But it is very hard.

HA!
Vorbis, Ogg, Theora
And you are surprised by Thusnelda?
But is only the name of the new Theora encoder code base. When it is done it will just be Theora to the masses.
I stand corrected. I believe there is nothing in The Hobbit or LotR about pointed ears, and I was unaware of this letter.
Personally, I am waiting for go-oo.org 3.1, as that is what goes into Debian, Ubuntu, SuSE, Gentoo and others.
