I've noticed that Konqueror is fantastic compared to Firefox at DOM manipulations. Specifically drag drop stuff. Firefox stutters a little and Konqueror is very smooth.
Keep in mind that this is on a old P4 but still it highlights a difference.
A DLL call wouldnt make that big of a difference. Its still the same thread.
More than likely is that they were using math operations which were already optimized and wrote their own string functions and then 'forgot' to optimize them.
If by fine you mean freaking bloody slow. Flash designers wouldnt know speed if it slapped them with a large trout.
YouTube is good. It can handle a video pretty well (occasional frame dropping). Ads and many other things will reduce the computer to a crawl instantly.
You've never watched a DVD on a laptop/desktop before? Someone hasnt been hogging your DVD player when you want it? Your not at your home (office, holiday, etc...) and you want to watch a movie?
You dont do it every day but its a fairly standard thing to use a computer for these days.
Odd. I thought the combustion of petrol split up the hydrocarbons in to CO2, CO, H2O and a few other things. One gallon of gasoline will pretty much always give out the same amount of CO2.
Now assuming the amount of miles you travel stays the same, if the MPG is higher doesnt that mean less gasoline is burnt?
In addition to lower CO2 emissions, it also has the benefits of reducing our dependency on oil and giving us more cash to spend.
Please do correct me if my logic is wrong but it seems valid to me.
a) You were moving partitions around, not installing a game patch.:P b) Why didnt you simply press 'e' at the grub screen? You can edit how it boots from its self.
Its interesting to note that its impossible to do stuff like that accidentally under Linux./boot/ is usually unmounted once its not needed and *nothing* should be touching anything in there anyway.
Oh well. Thats what Windows users get for using a really bad file layout.

Seamonkey + Flash on my old P3 laptop is fine.

It is easily possible and it does happen.
I dont think its continuous. Its more of a flashing.
Still extremely dangerous.
I'd hope they'd get the upper end of the punishment spectrum at least.
Its pretty dangerous and examples need to be set.
Over here in Australia there are idiots who do it to aircraft which are landing.
No one has crashed yet but its only a matter of time.
Not to mention having a decade of development behind it, the game will seriously kick ass.
Unless they fuck up something fundamental, you cannot spend a decade working on something to have something so-so at the end.
It should be free but controlled. The FCC should do the controlling as a impartial observer.
20 tabs plus 30 windows. Thats why.
With IE 6 and a standard height task bar (I *hate* doubling it) then your in shit if you do that.
Mind you, Windows cant handle 30 windows open at once very well so you'd have other things to worry about.
Actually I am in Australia with a true unlimited connection.
Expensive and slow but its there.
Thats the thing. You cannot make your own office suite.
The 'open' standard is incomplete in addition to being a complete mess.
But I want my own personal /24 block now. :(
Its bloody useful. No need to skimp on IPs with it.
The GP's point was that its all rubbish.
Got a double blind test proving that? :)
Two hands up. :)
Um...Small question: Why do you use flashbock?
Just do what I do. Dont install flash. Simple.

Dont worry. There will be many people doing it and the cops cant catch them all. :)
Not directly harmful no but it is a insult to the author.
I know that if it happened to me then I'd be bloody pissed.
IMHO it doesnt matter that its untested.
Its pretty damn rock solid and it would be incredibly unlikely that a court would side with the defendant.
MPG is only weakly related to CO2 emissions?

The US looked at the British 'fat' and decided they could beat it.
:)
And now the definition of 'fat' has forever changed.
Those Brits were bloody skinny in comparison.
You dont know about the tilt bits? The AES encryption? And so on?
No one else needs to. We just hit the recompile button and hey presto!
