I meant when I load Java apps within Firefox. It takes awhile. But running Java apps themselves doesn't talk long at all. Just embedded. Guess I should've specified.:D
Why was this modded Flamebait? It's a perfectly valid question. Java is bloated. It takes 5+ minutes just to load up a Java app on my machine. I'm reminded of something I heard somewhere, "Saying Java is good because it works on all platforms is like saying anal is good because it works on both sexes."
Yeah, I tried Fedora Legacy for my FC4. But after trying for an hour to get yum working with their repositories, I decided to download the FC6 DVD and install that. I have a few gripes with it. For one I can't get the nVidia driver to install correctly (my X server locks up my machine when I restart it), and until I get the nVidia driver going, I won't be able to test AIGLX. I even tried compiling the driver myself, but some stupid error occurs. Hopefully this won't be how my whole experience with FC6 goes...hopefully.
I'm almost done downloading the FC6 DVD ISO. I decided to download it when the yum command stopped working on my FC4 installation. I figured it was because of the Fc6 release yesterday. Reading that their entire site went down the day of the release doesn't make me feel any better about upgrading. But it has to be done. XGL ftw.:D
There's a GUI toolkit, still in beta, that aims to look the same on all platforms. Claro Graphics is a GUI toolkit designed to be used on all platforms (all platforms being Windows, Mac, and Linux).:)
I only know about it because of the IRC client I use, Besirc.:)
I had an idea awhile back (one of the few that ever cross my mind) to use the GPU as sort of a backup CPU, or a way to turn your single CPU box into a one and one half CPU box. It was a crazy geek idea.:) Still, the concept exists.
This could (in theory) work. I know I always get headaches from my cellphone if I talk on it for over 10 mins at a time. It also gets extremely hot. And I know for a fact that some cellphone antennas are directional. It's to minimize the amount of radiation that's actually being directed toward your head. It's usually a little electronic component on the side of the cell phone opposite the ear piece. That way the phone will be pointed away from your head whenever you're talking on it, and just about any other time as well (whenever you're looking at the screen).
And as for the people who keep saying, "OMG thys lyke wont werk u guyz r stoopid!!!111oneoneone", why don't you actually try it before commenting on whether or not it will work. The scientific method is your friend.
Hahaha. Well, VB6 isn't all that bad. Wait...*remembers extensive Native API calls*...scratch that. VB SUXORS!/off topic. flame me//slashy///fark.com has taught me well
Here's an idea: why not design your site to be useful? That way...you know...when people come across your site, they link to it. The hierarchy of the Google indexing scheme is very complex indeed (much like that last sentence). Google is free. In fact it is one of the best free things on the net, IMO.
Now, I don't know about you, but it really irks me when I search for something, and I get a bunch of results, only to find that the site Google takes me to isn't in fact of any relevance to what I was searching for, but a site that takes you to more sites that have absolutely nothing to do with your original query in the first place. Not in the slightest bit am I going to criticize Google for delisting bmw.de.
And as with anything created by humans, it's bound to have a few flaws. But I know when I use Google to search for something, 98.9% of the time I get relevant search results, and within 5 mins of looking through what it spews out I'm well on my way to learning whatever is was that I searched for in the first place. Google has made me a fluent programmer in Visual Basic 6, HTML, XHTML, CSS, and is currently helping me learn C++. That's really the only stuff that matters anyway.;)
I'm glad to see Microsoft do something like this. It's definitely a step in the right direction, as numerous others have said. But then you have the people who're criticizing Google for doing the exact same thing. Google censoring their search engine in China doesn't make them the bad guy. Instead of imposing American values on a foreign nation (something they have no right to do in the first place), they chose to obey the laws that are valid in that country. Now, I know that if you search for tiananmen square Google gives you results. This may not be the case in China, but for me it worked just fine. Google's whole presence in China is credited to agreements made with the Chinese government to censor certain queries performed on the engine. And everyone knows that if you're routing through a proxy you can get access to whatever you want, so anyone with sense to them (which, last I checked was 99.9% of the populace, in China at least) would be able to get around such imposed restrictions anyway. So why are people complaining? Google knows that if someone wants to get something bad enough they'll be able to, most likely the reason they agreed to comply. Hell, I bet Google has even set up a few proxies for use by people in China trying to 'stick it to the man'. Do you think Microsoft would do something like that? Exactly.
I know as soon as that I read this article, I went onto Wikipedia to correct what the staff had changed, only to find other people had already done the same. Cool.
It's articles like this that keep the integrity of Wikipedia intact. Time and time again I see something on Wikipedia that just makes me wonder about people sometimes. Although knowing that people care enough to go and fix it removes all doubt. And you have to give credit where credit is due. Slashdot helped it out too.:)

For me, AVG Free Edition updates everytime I turn on my computer in the morning. One of the reasons I love AVG.
What ads? I'm using AdBlock, an extension for the open source program Firefox. :-P
