  1. Re:Measuring speed from *where* exactly? on Google Shares Insights On Accelerating Web Sites · · Score: 1

    The Google Webmaster Tools has a page speed metric. It is measured from people who have the Google toolbar installed and have flipped a switch somewhere. Your speed it measured on an average of these folks. There is a measure of accuracy (low, medium or high) depending on the number of points of data it has collected.
    There is also the time the crawler spent downloading pages in milliseconds.

    Who know which one of these they use (or combination there of.

    I have that exact processor. Only found out about the VT thing after I got it home. I was not happy. The booklet even says that it doesn't have the VT extensions.
    Virt-Manager and Virtual Box say otherwise though.

    RE: Images

    Licensing? Nightmare.
    Bandwidth? Eek.
    Security? Whoa!
    Compatibility? Doesn't downgrade nicely (that page looks horrible in a "stable" browser of today and is almost unreadable)
    Gains? Geocities-like webpages that use every image they can just for the sake of it. Seven million websites with pictures of cats. And only the sensible browsers will come with options to turn the damn thing off (and thus look even worse).

    Stupid idea, stupid execution (having to DOWNLOAD every image mentioned on a page?)

    I think when you have to cite Geocities as an example, we aren't talking about web design...

    Yes, you are wrong.

    It's the GPU it doesn't have access to. It has access to most of the SPUs and only 256Mb RAM though.

    Ultrasphinx gives you a limited view of the capabilities too. Playing with the real API is much more powerful.

    Not really. Mostly you still go through BT. Many exchanges don't have other ISPs in them. Mine has 1 other ISP in it and that is Sky :(

    ...and don't even get me started on line lengths...
    I'm physically 200 meters from the exchange. Somehow the line is over 2000 meters long...

  16. Glom on A Database for the Office? · · Score: 1
    Have you looked at Glom?

    http://www.glom.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

    From the front page...
    What you need, without the nonsense. With Glom you can design database systems - the database and the user interface. * Glom has high-level features such as relationships, lookups, related fields, related records, calculated fields, drop-down choices, searching, reports, users and groups. * Glom keeps things simple. It has Numeric, Text, Date, Time, Boolean, and Image field types. * Glom systems require almost no programming, but you may use Python for calculated fields or buttons. * Each Glom system can be translated for multiple languages and countries. Here are some screenshots with explanations, and news about recent changes. Concept The design is loosely based on FileMaker Pro, but with a separate database server. Its simple framework should be enough to implement most database applications. Without Glom these systems normally consist of lots of repetitive, unmaintainable code. Glom uses the PostgreSQL database backend but it can not edit databases that it did not create, because it uses only a simple subset of Postgres functionality. Open Source Glom is open source software, released under the GPL License.
