I've got an Asus EEEpc with 2GB of RAM and 4GB swap and I always have Firefox open with 80+ tabs in 4+ windows. After a week or so it'll get really slow when loading and would crash in a day or two if usage continued, so I just kill it and

If I came to your house and showed you my gun, explained in loving detail how it worked, and informed you that I would brutally slay you if you disagreed with me - wouldn't you "agree" with anything I said? Because that's the only reason Ta

I agree on both counts. My problem with armies is that we have these essentially slave-cults for protection and we call ourselves free. Better off, sure. But not really free because we've got this slave system (Military justice/prisons) to

Is that specifically to inconvenience someone who would break in, steal your password list, and crack it offline? If not, what was the design goal? If slowing down web login attempts isn't part of it, why not get a dedicated auth server and

It's not a druthers kind of thing. If you need to trust that it hasn't been tampered with you must sign it. And if you don't care you might as well not add authentication because without signing it's just a fancy CRC - ie, totally replica

It was informative. I didn't know the USA put restrictions on what the Dalai Lama would say. For China. I think the average person would be surprised to hear it. It's like not recognizing Taiwan as a country. Offensive.

No, for an (modern) HP offering "Cloud" is actually appropriate. Vague, nebulous, rarely seen up close. Never performs a lick of work, floats idly by. Occasionally crashes spectacularly. It's actually perfect branding.

Quit changing the topic. You asked " How is this a success for Google+? " What's the bar now? Suddenly being #1? Anyways, whatever. I'm not on G+ because I'm not a fan of their real-name policy and I certainly don't care if they win or lose

Humans have been fighting, yes. Fighting things humans understand, and for traditional human reasons, at their discretion. What's new-ish (5-10k years) and completely against individual success, is a large and largely unwilling army driven

If the code produces an answer sooner, including coding time, it's the best code. The real world rewards timeliness not comeliness. Contests can, and should, require maintainable code by giving you one goal and then at acceptance throw some
