Yeah, thought it looked good.. until I scrolled and the video got screwed up... it froze and it seemed that the only place it updated was behind the controls. Chrome dev on osx.
On investigation a G was transformed to a W a difference of one bit.
That is unlikely due to the way magnetic media actually stores data. Bits are stored as changes in polarity. No change in polarity means 0, change means 1 (or vice-versa).. and for many lowlevel format types, all bytes in a sector are xored with the previous byte. Change the polarity of 1 tiny part of the disk will change at least 2 bits, and corrupt the entire sector.
So a disk that's +++-+++ is actually 001100. Change that - to a +, and it becomes 000000. In order to change just 1 bit, you have to reverse the polarity of every bit in the sector after it... like trying to untwist a rope from the middle.
After watching the game I reassured my thoughts about American Football... oh how I would love that the "tough" American Football players had a go against one of these Rugby teams. They will run scared!
Richard Tardits, the frenchman who played both American football in the NFL as well as rugby has this to say:
"two completely different types of pain. American football is the more violent, rugby is the greater physical challenge".
. When you install something on a Mac (and windows depending on your settings) you need to type in a password and specifically give permissions to do so.
Most mac users don't. They have write access to everything in/Applications by default. They just drag the program into the Applications folder. If the program then decides to replace iTunes with a backdoor or whatever, it can without the user's knowledge.
Weren't doing anything illegal in their own country.
You sure about that? The UK's libel laws are far more strict than the US's. In the US, the truth is an affirmative defense against libel.. not so in the UK. Calling someone a spammer in the UK might indeed be considered libel, regardless of whether it's true or not.
The literacy rate is at an all-time high. You just think they can't read or write because today's kids are writing more often and more publicly than ever before. You get 9-year-olds posting youtube comments with the same poor grammar as a 9-year-old used in her diary in the 50s.
You're overstating OSX's abilities... a kid can trash a mac just as easily as a PC. One of our designer's mac's fell to his stupidity just last week. He installed something like 5000 fonts... brought the system to its knees.
Snow Leopard isn't 100% 64-bit, despite Apple's claims. Front Row, iTunes, Grapher, and DVD Player are all still 32-bit apps. That's because they are written in C++/Carbon instead of ObjC/Cocoa. Apple has had how long to rewrite them?

OSX doesn't.. but Linux and Windows both have per-application volume management... and using chrome, that becomes per-tab volume management.
Google has already started encoding youtube videos in WebM. Join youtube's HTML5 beta, then append &webm=1 to the search url and you'll only get videos that are in webm format.

On Macs, Safari has passed the Acid3 test with smoothness for a while now (in fact, I think they were the first).
That's not what I'm seeing.
Test 25 passed, but took 35ms (less than 30fps) Test 69 passed, but took 7 attempts (less than perfect). Test 80 passed, but took 2 attempts (less than perfect). Safari 4.0.5, on 10.6.3
Doesn't work in chrome.. safari just rips the speakers, and firefox buzzes and pauses. If you look at what they're doing, they're just base64 encoding audio data and sticking it in an audio tag. The data isn't streaming.

Except this entire article is about how you can't trust the bars on the iPhone 4.
IE9 now passes all of css3info's test suite for CSS3 and HTML5. (That doesn't mean it has 100% support for HTML5/CSS3, just the css3info test suite).
If you cross your ears, you can hear a sailboat!

Not the App store.

The article is misleading.. they're on internal storage if you don't have an sd card.
They're also *only* created for bookmarks.. if you don't make it a bookmark, no thumbnail gets created.

Isn't that pretty much every SQL database ever made?
A cache miss isn't just "slower" it flushes the cache and affects subsequent memory access speeds. Thus O(n) can become O(n^2).
You know we were saying the same thing about you too.
