  1. Re:No Linux? Bah. on The Latest Web Browser Grand Prix · · Score: 1

    Opera has been slow recently because it's javascript engine lags behind firefox and particularly chrome. Opera has a relatively fast plain html renderer that slows when encountering Javascript moreso than other browsers including IE 9 which has a heavily tuned javascript engine (unlike IE 8). As for link desktop share it is generally agreed to be about 2% or 1/4 the share of Macintosh.

  2. Re:Real? on Researchers Create Radio Controlled Humans · · Score: 2, Insightful

    RealPlayer has mellowed it's act. The new version, RealPlayer 10 is advertising-ridden and tries to take over your filetypes, but tell it no and it actually listens.

    On the Mac it runs great.

  3. Copyright & Taxes on Canadians [Will] Pay Levy on MP3 Players - Updated · · Score: 1

    So much for those who use their iPod just for documents! To properly enforce it, the gov. would have to tax: * Internet connections * Modems and fake "modems" (DSL, Cable) * Computers * PDAs with music playback * Speakers (!) * CD-R drives etc. Seems like a halfhearted attempt. And good, too, because otherwise people in Canada would be broke! On copyright: Copyright can be used in better forms, check out the GPL.
