That's kind of a portion of the point. It's important to be aware, though for those environments that do update quickly, it can be used soon enough. I think, like the v3/v4 browsers days, that many more people are aware of other browsers, and far less likely to be running a very old browser.
Free market is about what's best for consumers... It isn't about no legislation at all, so much as being able to compete freely. IMHO this means less restrictive practices, so that emerging and distracting technologies can emerge and create new markets. This should also mean limiting copyright and patent protections, limiting the central government, and ensuring things like this emphatically do not happen.
Understandable, just pointing this out, since it happens a lot... for my NAS box, I planned on buying the drives from different vendors over about a 2 month period. Same drives, just different vendors and times, to decrease the chances of identical defects... Also have a spare drive parked next to the NAS. Been lucky so far, now looking at replacing with larger drives and/or a new homebrew NAS, with the reliability of 3TB drives not as good as I'd hope, it's kinda scary.
As someone working in business eLearning, which has been dominated by flash for the past decade, I am very interested. I've also been interested in some of the better scaling backend systems as well. We're almost to a point where we can nuke flash player. Still need a broad implementation for compressed audio and video streams from the client.... Also, in need of a few other tweaks, such as better offline support. Most of all, what's needed is better tooling. So far Adobe, Microsoft and Sencha seem to be at the forefront. Though Adobe seems a little relaxed, and MS is pushing a lot of stuff for IE10 that nobody else has even thought of implementing. IE10's DB model is interesting, and the grid and multicolumn stuff is cool, still need other web browsers to cross adopt a bit more to make it really useful... Webkit is the major player for smart phones and tablet browsing, and IE only has about 40-50% of the desktop, at varying versions.
I worked on an early project that used VRML, very simple models for event layouts... tables, podiums, chairs etc. Worked pretty well, and am somewhat surprised VRML never made it farther... though it was really slow on some of the computers still in use at the time, around 1997 iirc.
A lot of BBSers migrated from the BBSes to Usenet in the 90's. I used both for a while, but the signal to noise in usenet was too poor for a long time, at least most of the spammers are gone now. Also, NNTP is used today for some BBS message nets.
I have a dead simple reason... as a "reference" browser, the rendering in Chrome tends to be the closest to how I expect it to render from the markup and code. For this reason, for about a year and a half, it is my reference browser, where I will do tweaks for other browsers... tends to lead to less quirkiness all around. YMMV though.
IE9 is pretty minimalist, though the default home page isn't the greatest, it's not that bad, I prefer iGoogle myself. My preference is still towards Chrome though. Best thing for end users... an always current browser.
I've been in the habit of Ctrl+F/H myself, so tends to not bug me about the text search... As for scrolling, I've noticed it, but being I browse on my HTPC at home (from about 8' away from a 42" 1080p screen), I tend to zoom in a lot, same on my laptop, and Chrome seems to handle zooming in/out a lot better than any other browser I've tried with. The adblock isn't as good, and the only noscript options worth a damn, have issues... Beyond that, I'm pretty happy with it. I've been doing testing at work with IE9, Chrome Dev, and Firefox latest on the projects I'm working on now... much nicer experience than times past. Though if you're on a very big site, then you may have to support older versions of IE and Firefox. Right now, my big hope is IE10 doesn't break too much. At least IE6 support has dropped off for pretty much anything new/ongoing.
Wish that I had mod points... I'm lucky to be making today about what I was making 12 years ago. The difference being that each dollar buys far less than it did at that time. Many things are well over twice the cost they were back then. With a push/race to bring wages down with H1B workers and out-sourcing. About half of the development projects I am on are using outsourced labor for the bulk of the work. The sad part is, I don't know that it's saving all that much. I see about 2-3 instances of rework that are taking 1.5-2x as long as if an on-site developer was on said project, though I make 6-7x as much, if I get it right the first time, or with minor rework in 1/4 the time it costs less. Can't get my boss to see it that way though.:(
It has to be philosophy, Windows Server Web Edition is pretty reasonably priced. I run about half linux, half windows on my own server(s), Linux host OS with VMs. I would say it depends on one's needs. Though, not fond of PHP in general.
I've seen Raid-1 fail in such a way that the second drive fails within a few days of the first drive (twice)... IMHO it's urgent to replace that first failed drive quickly.. as the second is likely to go soon. The first time the second drive died before the RMA replacement made it back... for my NAS box, It's raid-5 with a spare drive sitting next to the box, just in case.

I've done $10 for each of the indy bundles, but haven't actually played any of them.. just supporting the concept and devs.
Yeah.. and intel, and any other vendor that sold hardware to Syria is part of the problem too...
As long as the heat generated is lower than room temperature...
If you look at redundant, it says to "See redundant"
Yeah, like that works in practice... Communism can't work as long as desire, and ambition are human characteristics.. i.e. never.

That was my first thought... these techniques have been in use, at the very least by google for a decade now. Not sure WTF...

Too bad they pretty much ditched the server market.
Yeah, bbs-scene.org uses eternal-september for their upstream to usenet.

I tend to lump all Webkit browsers together (mostly) if only safari updated as nicely as Chrome does.

Flash tends to bring down Chrome a fair amount too...

Not my stupid dog, he just licked all the hot spray off, seemed to like it. (shrug) My ex's dog didn't care for it at all.
I had much better luck with TomatoUSB on my RT-N16 than I did with DD-WRT, though that was over almost a year ago... still running strong. :)
More work, but OpenWRT is probably your best bet. ymmv though. I'm pretty happy with myy RouterstationPro board and OpenWRT setup.
