  1. Re:Cheap and Dirty Crash Isolation... on In IE8 and Chrome, Processes Are the New Threads · · Score: 1

    it isn't a strict 1-1 relation between a tab and a process.

    • all pages for the same domain are put in the same process.
    • frames/iframes all belong to the same process.
    • There's a maximum of 20 processes. If you have more tabs, they get added to an existing process.

    Properly designed or not, Firefox doesn't release any memory when a tab closes. Chrome does.

  3. Re:BEHOLD.... on Automated News Crawling Evaporates $1.14B · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's an honor usually reserved for /.

    You know what else saves a bunch of money? Breaking into the bookstore after hours and stealing books.

  5. Re:lite on Why Mozilla Is Committed To Using Gecko · · Score: 0

    what the fuck are you talking about, retard? Chrome uses multiple processes, but it's not a requirement of WebKit. Safari only uses one process.

  6. Re:And Barack Obama is doing a full Hindenberg! on Review: Spore · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    That's "Presidential Candidate Obama" to you. After all, he's spent more time running for President than being a senator. Or maybe "Author Obama". He's written more autobiographies (2) than pieces of legislation (1, renaming a post office).

    But the funny thing is, he's spent the last 2 years talking about all the new legislation he wants. I guess it never occurred to him that, being a senator, that's what he's supposed to be doing.

  7. Re:Classic Quest for Glory is out on Quests · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    That's an awful title. "Quest for Glory" is a slang term for using a glory hole. (A "Glory Hole" is a hole in the wall/bathroom stall/etc for anonymous gay oral sex.)

  8. Re:Oh, my. on The London Stock Exchange Goes Down For Whole Day · · Score: 1

    At my LAST job, I discovered that it tends to leave it's mark on every step. Particularly when you have a nasty case of the shits and are straining to carry some heavy equipment up the stairs.

  9. Re:but is it fast enough on Intel's First SSD Blows Doors Off Competition · · Score: 2, Insightful

    SSD doesn't have a seek delay or rotational delay.

    ROM. EPROM. PROM. EAROM. EEPROM.

    Lameness filter encountered. Don't use acronyms. It's like yelling.

  11. Re:Seems Like A Bad Summary on Apple Admits iPod Is From 1970s UK · · Score: 5, Informative

    particularly since the device/patent preceeds every other solid state mp3 player, not just the iPod (which wasn't the "first" by any measure).

  12. Re:This seems contraindicated on RealNetworks To Introduce a Simple DVD Copier · · Score: 1

    The files have an extra DRM layer that limits it to playback on 5 machines, and only by Real's software. Ripping CDs is legal, so the only issue with ripping DVDs would be css, which they've licensed (they don't strip it).

  13. Re:China has its first spacewalk! on China's First Spacewalk · · Score: 1

    And they both resulted in failure. Of course, you don't have the luxury of editing the story afterwards to reflect your "success".

    There's a flaw in your logic. It's called "common carrier."

    You've never had a short, hairy, italian guy shove a plunger up your ass while you masturbate?

  16. damn straight! on The Great Zero Challenge Remains Unaccepted · · Score: 5, Funny

    Last month, I challenged every female olympic gymnast to prove she was over 16 by having sex with me. (The age of consent is 16 in my state). To date, every gymnast has ignored me, with the exception of 1 whose boyfriend threatened to kill me. Therefore, we now have proof that all the female olympic gymnasts are under 16 and should be disqualified.

  19. just the source? on Classic Shooters Heretic and Hexen Released Under GPL · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I didn't see it mentioned -- does this include the WAD (as in Johnny Wad) files? I think it's good that they released the source code in the first place, and even better that it's now under a standard license... but is it really useful for anything? Anyhow, thanks guys!

  20. Re:Shoot on MySQL Founder Monty Quits Sun (Or Not) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Especially when you sold it to Sun. There's a pretty good chance Sun will be bankrupt or bought up for a ridiculously low price within 5 years.

    That's a major step up in the looks department. I'd consider a 2 door version.... If Barack Obama is elected president, I might move to Finland and buy one.
