  1. Re:"more tightly integrated" on Firefox 4 Will Push Edges of Browser Definition · · Score: 1

    FF3 smokes even Opera in memory use. Too bad I still get occasional crashes.

  2. Re:Here's the link to the real info. on Web 2.0, Meet JavaScript 2.0 · · Score: 3, Informative

    At least they didn't add templates. They did, sort of.

    Parameterized types
    A parameterized type is a template for new types and is defined by adding type parameters to class, interface, type, and function definitions:

    class Pair.<T> {
    var first: T, second: T
    }
    type Box.<T> = { value: T }
    function f.<T>( x:T ): T ...
    A parameterized type is instantiated by supplying concrete types for its parameters:

    new Pair.<int>(3, 4)
    f.<int>(37)
    var v: Box.<boolean> = new Box.<boolean>(true)
    The predefined types Map, Vector, IteratorType, and ControlInspector (among others) are parameterized.
    The parameterized types in ES4 do not allow for type parameter constraints or variance annotations. However, nothing precludes the inclusion of these in a future edition of the language.

    The CEO in question got plenty rich in the last year using this strategy, so maybe, just maybe, you should rethink your position.

  7. Will it blend? on Large Sheets of Carbon Nanotubes Produced · · Score: 2, Funny

    Determining the toxicity of carbon nanotubes has been one of the most pressing questions in Nanotechnology. Results from various scientific tests on cells have so far proven confusing, with some results indicating it to be highly toxic and others showing no signs of toxicity. This is primarily because of difficulties arising in spotting the nanotubes entering the cells from other carbon-based cell structures such as membranes. A recent research led by Alexandra Porter from the University of Cambridge shows once they are inside the cell, they accumulate in the cytoplasm and cause cell death.

    I can see RIAA and friends going green with envy if it worked.

  9. Re:If you close the tabs, does it free RAM or Leak on Firefox 3 Beta 3 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    it's not memory leaks per se, it's memory fragmentation. as mozilla isn't garbage collected, you can't defrag it; you can only restart the whole process.

    I haven't seen a NIC that can't change it's mac in the driver options on win xp. It's never called "MAC address" like it should, though.

    can't mod you up higher, so I'll just comment - you're 100% totally right, can't stress that enough. you don't want your usual hard drives on such altitudes.

  19. Re:Advantages over Ethernet? on Plastic Fiber Could Make Optical Networking a DIY Project · · Score: 1

    there are none, since that fiber runs Ethernet?

    if you think about twisted pair Ethernet, copper is expensive and conducts electricity, which is good if you use Power over Ethernet and bad if your installation gets hit by lightning.

    Or is there a fundamental flaw in my logic that I'm missing here? Yes, you are. Some parts are manufactured with power consumption being #1 priority and software is also getting smarter. (As TFA admits, at least theoretically :grin:>)
