I don't have IE9 installed and therefore can't verify the benchmark results. If they are genuine, I'm having a hard time coming up with a different conclusion. By the way, hilarious idea to make this into a bug report. EDIT: of course I fi

In case you don't have IE9 installed, the benchmark results (quoted in the previous blog post) are: cordic: 1ms +/- 0.0% cordic-with-return: 22.6ms +/- 2.7% cordic-with-true: 22.5ms +/- 2.7% (Taken from http://blog.mozilla.com/r

This reminds me of a fairly simple approach to commercial skipping [1] in the early days of DVRs: the TV station's logo is never visible during commercials but always during regular programming. This was for German TV in the 1990s/early 200

What is this diagram supposed to mean? Apparently it's not "X evolved from Y" as, say, Perl is not derived from Java. It also can't be "X was popular (for web applications) after Y" as surely Perl was more popular prior to Java and C++ wa

Makes sense, but assuming that the $44bn figure in the Wikipedia article is correct I'm still wondering where the remaining ~$97 dollars are hidden. In "Military Personnel" and "Health Care Research"? I guess it goes to show that even wit
