Perhaps I am completely wrong but it seems like China is giving preferential treatment to the Chinese owned competitor to Google, Baidu, by not taking it to task for the same offending practices
Do you know for a fact the Baidu search has the same characteristics that Google is being brought to task for? Maybe not...
When using more than 10 tabs or so, my memory usage is...
Yes, I notice when I have a huge number of tabs open with a mixture of Flash and other multi-media running, my browser slows down too. Wonder why that is...
Finally, this should stop perennial "firefox is a memory hog" trolls. Hopefully.
This really hasn't been my experience, and I am not trolling. My experience, which is to say what actually happens to me when I am surfing, is that after awhile with a few (2 or 3) tabs open, FF memory usage rises to the point where my machine crawls to a stop, and I have to kill FF with the task manager.
Why is my FF experience different than the average FF fanboy? Why this is, I don't know. I do know that I am unwilling to get "under the hood" and edit config files, because I don't think I should have to.
This is my experience as what I believe to be "average" use.
On one of my machines, IE8 is slightly faster than FF. But on my old slow machine, IE8 is *much less* of a memory pig, so much so that I had to drop FF simply because after awhile with a few tabs open, it slowed my machine to a crawl and eventually required me to kill it in the Task Manager.
Some people have tried to tell me that I just don't know how to set FF up to run efficiently. I say that I shouldn't have to.
I'm not happy about this because *I am not* a "whatever works" guy, I very much want to support OSS and spacifically FF. But it just doesn't work for me. Right now. Yet.
at some point they will find their doors being broken down by armed men who are notorious for their lack of willingness to listen to reasonable explanations as to why there's all this glassware lying around.
Well, I would hope that cooking meth would not be the top illegal experiments. It's been a long time since true pure LSD unadulterated with strychnine and other "fillers" was widely available. A little top drawer Window Pane would be nice.
Given what the "defense" didn't do in this case, perhaps they have left the door open for incompetent representation as a appeal challenge as well.
From yesterday's piece:
In this trial, although the defendant had an expert witness of her own, she never called him to testify, and her attorneys never challenged the technical evidence offered by the RIAA's MediaSentry and Doug Jacobson. Also, neither the special verdict form nor the jury instructions spelled out what the elements of a 'distribution' are, or what needed to be established by the plaintiffs in order to recover statutory -- as opposed to actual -- damages./quote

I recall in the previous stories on this case, everyone kept say "Slam Dunk!". I thought that the defense lawyers where supposed to be a "crack team" and yet from the Slashdot write-up, it seems the defense left much to be desired. What happened?
I've heard that the new Zune HD will utilize Nvidia's Tegra platform, so maybe this is their way of paying back the favor.
Are Zune sales that good? How much of a favor could this be? Are people actually buying Zunes? I've never seen one in the wild in actual use, though I've seen non-working dummies glued to the display at Wal-Mart... Is that redundent? Zune == Non-working Dummies?
The parent has been modded "flaimbait", and perhaps it is, but it is also not far from the truth. Limmited privacy laws, CCTV everywhere, GB is the "poster child" for government intrusivness.
More good will and love from Microsoft. Unfortunatly, for most of these "shops", Linux is not an option, as they are too entrenched with Ballmer and crew.

Thank that through again. ActiveX components that come as a part of purchased and supported enterprise software are more often than not, safe. The company that is selling you CRM software for a couple of hundred a seat plus whatever the CRM server and the support contract cost, are not going to give you spyware ActiveX components as a part of their software.
Do you only want former airforce pilots who've actually seen combat flying commercial planes? How exactly is that going to keep you up in the air in a civilian airliner experiencing an electronic or mechanical malfunction?
There is no mention of this in the press. Perhaps it's because this is just some trouble makers whipping up a scam story? Is there any real evidence that this hack has actually occurred? No...
"So, do you know that the RIAA was unable to obtain competent representation?"
There, fixed that for you. The answer is yes.
Is it possible that the RIAA lawyers are competent, but are also whores who will do any little silly thing because their pay masters keep the cash-ola flowing? Or maybe not...
The Japanese don't see their university students as grown-ups... So university kids are still... kids. Even more frustrating is; grades are more about attendance than performance.

No, I don't think so. I'm using the latest versions of IE and FF. The difference is that I'm not a fanboy blinded by idealistic delusion.

Returned no results for me. FireFox on Windows, no adblock or noscript.

Bingo. Whose side is SAP on? SAP's.
Red Hat is publically traded as well, does the same apply to them? See, the lines are not always so clear.
I don't think the idea is to fund new federal government agencies to do research, but maybe to fund it at the university level.
I just don't see this lasting more than another year
Exactly. If the people that own Twitter are smart, they are seriously looking for s buyout right now, before the value drops to IP fire-sale prices.

Actually, what SHOULD happen is that companies need to stop using those old ActiveX controls.
Within the context of internal applications that run with a Web interface on a company Intra net, there is nothing in particular wrong with ActiveX.

Air Force pilots don't only fly fighters.

I believe Valve said that they would link a chunk of code that would unlock all your Steam purchases if they ever went out of business.
There will always be a way for companies to get around statements like this that they have made: In bankruptcy, sell the "IP" to someone else.
And at any rate, is there really any evidence we should believe such statements?

Pretty much the same as here (U.S.A.).
