Acid3 Test Released

After seeing rootkits spring from many sources (yes - including Sony) would the introduction of EFI bring greater barriers to this sort of exploit, or would it just be a matter of time before the crackers have their hooks into this to the same extent as well?
The reasons why Microsoft were so successful (in a business sense) are manifold, but one is not that their products were great, but that they were good enough. They accurately measured what people would put up with at different price points, and serviced the market accordingly. I think ISPs, telcos, etc have done likewise.
The Safari team recently introduced some native javascript functions, which showed very impressive speed. It looks like the next release Safari will be up there as well (if not even faster still).
I'm off to download the latest Firefox to see how the two compare (on both Windows and OS X platforms).
As long as I've been alive, this has been pretty much the inevitable conclusion. Was there a turnaround in the cocaine infested 80s perhaps that we missed, or have since forgotten?
By the way, this is even in New Zealand, waaaaaaay down at the bottom of the globe (not far enough down that we'd be safe from this, however)
He was hired by the RIAA as an expert witness, and obviously felt, either consciously or subconsciously, that in exchange for the money he was paid, that he should please his benefactors. I think this is the only type of witness they could have employed however, as any expert who had a higher moral compass, or ability to take an unbiased view of the task at hand, would find that the RIAA's arguments are indeed, seriously lacking in substance.
There has been increasing commentary on the relative scarcity of bandwidth, and how web 2.0 (or whatever you'd like to call it) with increased video and interactive content is putting more and more strain on existing internet infrastructure. Can anyone offer insight into whether user to server or server to users to users puts less stress on internet infrastructure?
Here in New Zealand, the government provided funds for Watchdog to develop a filtering system suitable for schools. Part of the deal was that any other ISP had access to the system and could supply their own customers with internet access filtered by the system.
Whilst not perfect, it did provide schools etc with a default option and a starting point for internet access.
This coupled with Google's open access ideas for wireless in the US could be a very good thing. Although, having cheaper bandwidth for all will benefit Google as well, of course. As they build and absorb other companies, the bandwidth requirements of their product range is ever increasing.
Perhaps so. Another way of looking at it is that they're trying to explain the article in such a way that allows more individuals - and motivates more individuals - to actually take an interest in, and have a chance of understanding this.
Also, from what I understand from reading the articles, technically they are correct (if a little simplistic). Both affect all particles, living or inert.

It's ok here. I've even scripted 700 machines here to reload the page repeatedly just to ensure it isn't.

Getting pretty close.

That was fast. Even for slashdot.

According to various articles linked to from google, IE8 beta builds have passed Acid2. As for Acid3, let's start with small miracles, shall we?
How would it recognise everyone's faces when they're all wearing the goggles?
No. I think yours just had it in for you. You should've left the lithium where it was....
It's a little thing called getting hung up on, you mean.

Ok parent shouldn't have been modded offtopic, as the linked article does compare different browsers, but anyway...
The benchmark is linked from here, nightly builds of Safari are available here, and a build of Firefox with this enabled is available here.

Steve's Reality Distortion Field is in for servicing. Apparently in a very small number of cases it caused dancing like a monkey.
Why would you expect a comprehensive book written by a 3rd party to be supplied free with the OS?
If you want help from Apple, there's the built in help function, the section of their website, and their Discussions Forums

Apple use it as the basis for OS X for one.

Chair throwing, and dancing like a monkey. You?
