We are getting off-topic - but that's fine by me. If a script is active on a tab in the background and has the JS engine locked, no other script will run, on any other tab or window. The process's JS engine is hosed, and there's only 1 process. 1 process per page - more memory, etc, but for WebPages, there's no IPC going on, so no issues. Child pages are part of the same process, IIRC. For multiple threads / threadpools, given that the operations only need to be synched within a single page, the single executor per page could easily be dealt with on a pool that manages pool threads, and keeps 1 thread from starving the others. No threadsafe functions are needed, because there are no cross-domain operations allowed.
Are you willing to start seeding false positive files? I would, except the connection is a requirement for me and I cannot deal with the hassles of being disconnected.
Oh, that happens....eventually. But what if the script is on a tab you're not looking at? For some reason, as time goes on, I can't imagine why, the same number of open tabs seem to result in ever slower browsing experiences. And yes, that was an indirect plug for Chrome, the only one I know of that actually addresses this issue. Using a separate process may be a little heavy, I would assume that merely managing a pool of threads correctly for the JS engine would handle it without starving the rest (ie, forced time slicing / yielding - the scheduler would cycle the JS engine threads / tab processes so all of them get CPU time, preventing a single tab or small set of tabs from starving everyone else. Of course, separate processes are easier;)
My biggest problem with FF is that they need to fix their JS engine. The entire mess about a single page blocking all browser activity due to it hogging the JS engine is BS. Then again, FF isn't the only browser with that problem (or at least the last time I tried several)
Well, are there user accessible files on the iPhone? If not, then nope, this patent is invalid at Claim 3. Also, the general statement of Claim 1 is probably also invalid, because the slider is a specific construct and probably has a trigger location somewhere along the path that says "you've gone far enough" so no pattern is stored in memory, only a single point. At least that's how it appears to be done on the iPhone. Whoops. No claim of infringement at all.
Still, the person at the PTO that passed this patent should be penalized.
If you're doing what you need to do to have the same retirement plan, you'll be about the same in both locations, net salary wise (401K deductions, etc) I ran the numbers across several years to compare with my colleagues, the numbers were surprisingly similar, except their health plan was better, although our health services can be better, it depends upon where you wind up going. On average, I'd say insured health care in the US is better, average health care in northern Europe is far better.
My mistake - I missed a single word: inherently. There is no requirement that terrorists are rational. Or will you argue that blowing yourself up is a rational act? If so, then all our recent shooting/suicides are "rational". I think not. Granted, if you're the one recruiting and directing the suicide bombers, you may be rational, but also would be a cold-hearted calculating monster completely lacking in respect for life and having no compassion for others, as there are many options other than suicide bombers, but nothing wraps up potential loose ends like ensuring the perpetrator ceases to exist by virtue of the act itself.
I did this a long long time ago. It's true, even rolling your own kernel isn't that hard. But it does add to the noise, heat, and power draw. I would prefer to have a sub 10W silent router over a 180+W noisy one any day of the week. Now, the first thing you do with any router is disable UPnP, especially on ISP provided systems. The next thing you do is use your own router behind the ISP one. Now you're in full control of all in/out traffic and can monitor it if you'd like.
Terrorism is about power You're also mistaken that terrorists are rational. Where was there an inviolate law invoked that stated that only rational people would be terrorists? If you take a look, most of those executing terrorism type attacks appear to be quite irrational, with a complete disregard for compassion, reason, and life itself.
I know of several instances of H-1Bs that were definitely mistreated, as described above. No, I'm not West Coast. 80-100 hour weeks were not unheard of, and there was certainly no concept of "weekends". Additionally, I know for a fact they were paid 10-20% less on top of it all.
I can also believe that 2 of those three you mention have trouble finding quality employees primarily due to their reputation, and for the third, the impression among anyone with intelligence is that the boat has sailed long ago. Unsurprisingly, the employees they most want will be the last employees looking to be hired by them. Something about being a minuscule fish in a large machine. (Just to mix metaphors) They'd rather work somewhere where they feel like they will have some influence and see the results of their efforts. Oracle would also fall into that camp.
Then you work for a moral and ethical employer. I've seen others that weren't so lucky. Also, what's the reason to hire an H-1B over a US resident at this point, with so many out of work? (Yeah, I know the complaints about unqualified people, but my interview history shows no increase in quality of applicants if they are H-1B vs residents, and I've never had a desired candidate that was an H-1B... Then again, by the time they get to the qualification levels I'm looking for, they're probably already residents or citizens.)
Yeah, the sooner we get rid of the laws and illegal practices (in spirit, if not actual law) that support the two party system, the better off we'll be.
The real question is what is the per hour rate they're paying H-1Bs. It doesn't matter if the pay rate is the same if the work hours is double, including those inconvenient "weekend" hours that most of us like to have off.
I wish I had mod points today. All too true. SSL/TLS is only good for those between you and the server, it means nothing to the server end, as it has the unencrypted version of what you sent. This is why Skype is insecure.
Self-preservation drives those who oppose raising H-1B caps. Look at the current unemployment rate and number employed, and then tell me with a straight face that there aren't people who would work for lower wages here already. There is no wage pressure from lack of employable labor.
... maybe they'd try to sell it to someone else with huge cash reserves. I don't know why Sony would buy and I don't see B&N having a ton of cash after their brick and mortar stores are a fond pastime.
News flash - Sony is bleeding cash faster than a victim in a Tarantino movie, and last I recall, didn't B&N go into bankruptcy? The only "others" with huge cash reserves are, in increasing order: FaceBook (probably not), Google (potential, here), and Apple (probably already 95% down this road, and don't need the XBox anything.)
You are partially incorrect. Luggage can fly on a flight you're not on.That's how luggage that doesn't make it to your plane gets to your destination. Or, during connections, how you can miss a flight but your luggage doesn't or vice versa. (both have happened to me - too long). What you can't do is leave a plane once you're on it - in that case, they will remove your luggage. So luggage can be on a plane without the passenger, and it happens frequently.
The nitrate screening and improved luggage containers will both strongly mitigate the potential of a repeat of Lockerbie, should there be a suicidal or unintentional luggage victim: here honey, I packed your extra bag, safe flight and say hello to your (dead grand-) ma... Some people care so much about their loved ones.
Unfortunately, it's an at-will state. So there was no labor dept complaint. There's also the potential issue there of getting yourself blacklisted with future employers. The lawyer wasn't really 50K, but said for less than 100K, it wasn't worth it, and at 50K you'd have some cash left over, depending upon how nasty the previous employer wanted to be about it. Given the state in question, the at-will, and the contract, there wasn't a whole lot that made it compelling to file suit. But, it did serve my colleagues well as a lesson in what not do, laid bare the crap polices of the company, and saved me significantly more in a later case, where the same activities were considered normal practice (new CEO brought those in). Just FYI, both companies are now "former" companies, as they were folded into other entities with all personnel let go as they were facaded on the acquiring entities sites or just failed.

A whole bunch of them would be public domain starting in the last decade, and we might be finally moving off our 56K modems, finally.
Yep - just setup a bittorrent client and add to one of the Linux distro clouds. Or all of them.

Alternatively, you could use a simple webmail service, such as Gmail.
Who cares about email now anyway?
Apparently Google does

Lost
I wish it had been.
And this would be bad?

Depends upon the fingerprint reader and the method used to do the transmission of the data. Properly constructed, replay attacks will always fail.
