oh, yeh, and javascript also hoses things up. also not a browser issue. but the browser guys could address it. Actually I wish that the browsers had a mode that would open up web pages without animations and players runing. much faster loading, and you could choose what activity to enable, instead of being stuck with whatever the web page felt you needed to see.
Actually, I have seen problems with prior versions of all browsers. I am not sure that I can say for sure that the problems were memory leaks. The pages left open for a long time, overnight, even, were msnbc, boingboing, various search pages, etc. the offenders mostly had active animations and movies. ie, flash, adobe reader, etc. I believe many of the problems were actually flash player, etc, not the browser itself. The plugins are not reliable. This is not the fault of the browser. What the browser guys need to do is run a code check of the plugins, looking for memory issues, etc. Then get the authors to fix them Does acid test have a bunch of plugin tests?
Try telling us exactly what OS and service pack you were running on the "super MS" machine, and what chipset and memory the motherboard had. Run cpu-z to get the info. You can do a html dump and paste it. Otherwise, your comments are undocumented hearsay, rumors, bs.
Why would we want to help the film companies produce more pablum for the masses just to enrich their pockets? Sounds crazy to me. Are you a politician or some other kind of liberal Hollywood-hugger? Somebody shot this guy before he gets elected to office!
Guns are available, but the shooter who pulled the trigger is responsible for the bullet. Drugs are available, but the needle pusher is responsible for the OD. Stores have plenty of stuff for sale, but it is the thieves who are responsible for the stealing. People have been doing a lot of avoiding responsibility for their actions and needs. It is called liberalism. But that does not make it right or true. There are many ways available to cheat, but it is the responsibility of the cheaters. Freedom of speech is a foundation of this country, but these days passing the buck and blaming your mama are the PC modes of operation. Of losers. What he posted was not dangerous. But blaming him for the potential of cheating, when no inappropriate act, much less cheating violation, was alleged, is some kind of matrix bs. Claiming that someone in the future was going to do something wrong. This country's legal system was based on proving a crime had been commited. Here he did something, not wrong unless a cheater used it. But it is too soon for any cheater to have used it. So aiding and abbetting did not happen. Yet we jump up and convict him on the word of some obviously loopy, lazy, over-paid professor in an ivory tower, scared that he would interfere with his future classes. Waa Waa Waa. Tell the PC prof to shut the f..k up. Someone change his diapers.
It is the cheats who are responsible for their cheating, not the code publisher. And it is the prof who is responsible for the enabling of the cheaters, if he re-uses his past questions. The code publisher has NO responsibility for the prof's re-use of test questions. And I hope the prof is not claiming the publisher is psychic, to know if he is re-using. But if the prof has a reputation for re-use, which the cheaters know about, then that too is the prof's responsibility, not the publisher.. And the prof's re-use sounds a lot like cheating. He is getting paid to be original, not a copyist or plagiarist.
If just one of those ambulances turned away had a patient die, the law suits could easily exceed the cost of patient care for all ambulance runs. And for patients taken in, they could have kept them around long enough to get all necessary info. They could have called in temps to help keep up, and catch up. Of course, if the patients had gotten in, it sounds like the hospital would have left them laying around while they did the paperwork. They are just insensitive jerks.
The auditor did not certify them as secure. They certified them as PCI-DSS compliant. That just means that they are somewhat hard to penetrate. A certain amount of time, expertise, and tools limit is in the standard. Any criminal who spends more time, money, expertise to successfully penetrate them is ok by the PCI-DSS standard. The standard actually explicitly says this stuff.. PCI-DSS is just setting a bar. Hopefully one high enough that common criminals cannot easily or quickly beat it. But organized crime (Mafia, Russian Mafia) can afford to buy the expertise, spend the time and money. Or a common criminal (script kiddie, haxor boy) can spend enough time and defeat it as well. I know. I designed a PCI-DSS compliant system which was certified. So, no matter what the bank says, if the other guys were actually PCI-DSS compliant, the bank loses the court case. Unless, of course, they buy better legal representation. Since the court system is biased towards the rich and mighty, who can afford better legal representation. And any case can be won by a good enough lawyer. For example, a lawyer won that a board fell off a store shelf and took away the complainant's psychic powers.
Wouldn't it be easier to load millions of files that give false positives, embarrassingly? When you open up the compressed pic, it is an innocent, hilarious comic cop or something? That would really slow down the software, as it would have to look at every file, and then spend a significant amount of time reporting it as bad, logging it, saving it off to the relatively small USB drive (you need gigabytes of these bogus files). That would really piss off the judge. People should try to get their baited honeypot netbooks confiscated by the cops, flood their system with BS. Upset the judge.
I thought that overall, movie and music revenues were up? And that musicians who post songs on the internet have their actual sales increased a lot? So harmed does not mean monetarily. And If people steal off the internet, that does not mean that they have the money to, or will, buy in the stores. So monetary damages have not been shown in any case? If by harmed, he means that music companies, movie companies, MS, and others, have had reputations trashed by the internet, perhaps that is only because their reputations were falsely inflated until the internet got involved. I have not ever heard of an author who has claimed lost sales because of the internet, unless you mean the scientologists. And what is this about talented creators and culture? I do not see most movies and books being involved in anything but degrading our culture. I thought that was the internet's job? I do not see the internet as impeding the ability of authors or movie makers to make ungodly tons of money. Let's take Harry Potter for an example. The author made over a billion dollars? And the movies as well? Where is this so-called harm?
I call BS. Oh, wait, everyone has already called BS on this stuff. So maybe I am the last post? I doubt it.
It is not so much that they do not find their needs met by linux (although that would help). It is that there is no ohmigod, wouldyalookatthat applications that just blow their minds or suck them in so that they cannot look away from the screen. Linux needs some window-killer apps to succeed in a big way at pulling windows users out of their ruts.
Recently a woman was denied an insurance payout on her husband's death (he was gunned down) because he had a pre-existing medical condition which had nothing to do with the shooting death. Insurance companies are in the business of screwing you.

Anyone ever see the movie "Independence Day"? "V?" "The Day The Earth Stood Still"? "War of the Worlds"?
They were all out at night

Yeh, but all the /dotters in their mama's basements won't even know it's ended, unless they get a "game over" message
single core, with or without hyperthreading, yes.
In order to make that particular diagnosis, you have to first get out of your mama's basement. /dotters just won't understand your joke.
So most
Hey, how about the parents of the guy who gave away dos to Billy Gates?
We are already at ludicrous speed. Have you tried to launch or us any MS apps in Intel hardware that has less than dual core?
Ludicrously slow.
Only if you know it is going in a straight line.
Hey, you've been giving your most valuable inputs to a sheet of paper ever since you were old enough to wipe your backside.
No, actually, it runs on hot air. We can have congress fill the whole structure in just 9 months (they don't work a whole year, you know)

no, actually applications are those video games and pron viewers you'all are so familiar with.
