schestowitzThose who are not a risk to Microsoft (or those unhelpful to Linux) are not worth bothering with, not in the eyes of the trolls anyway. So it's like a reverse endorsement. Bad is good and good is bad, based on the trolls' actions.Aug 18 00:34

twitter->  Ever since the Yahoo merger talks began, Microsoft steadily hired away top Yahoo talent, including the head of its search group in December. Now, Yahoo will hand the rest of its core search team over to Microsoft.  Ballmer gets pretty much all the engineering talent he wanted, without the hassle and cost of merging the entire company.  Yahoo will keep some search developers, to work on different projects, and lay off others.Aug 18 00:49
twitterYahoo search is destroyed, before regulators looked at anything.Aug 18 00:49

twitter->  I was humming along with Windows 7 for most of this past week. And then something happened. My browser crawled to a stop yesterday. I’m not sure what changed — if anything — but it was like someone had secretly snuck into my netbook and swapped the 2GB stick with a 256MB module. The CPU kept hitting 100 percent, so browser tabs were taking 15 seconds or more to render content. That’s a productivity killer for what I do,Aug 18 06:39

schestowitzOK, I can't find it by headline (something like "#1 open source vulnerability") but the point he was making is that there was no centralised update in Linux. He could not be ANY more wrong. It's very much the opposite cause Linux update OS + Apps, whereas it's Windows that does not do this, so he blame Linux for a strength, making it seem like a weakness.

DaemonFCTomboy takes an inordinate amount of RAM for no more than what it's there to doAug 17 21:19
*_goblin is now known as _GoblinAug 17 21:19
DaemonFCit should take 5-6 megs, maxAug 17 21:19
DaemonFCit takes more like 40Aug 17 21:19
_GoblinDaemonFC: Thats par for the course when you are talking Microsoft approved code.Aug 17 21:19
DaemonFCyeah, I integrated IE 8 into my XP x64 disc along with a bunch of other stuff, played around with it for a whileAug 17 21:20
_Hicham__Goblin : DaemonFC helped a lot in coding GnoteAug 17 21:20
DaemonFCit was taking more RAM than the operating system after about half an hourAug 17 21:20

DaemonFCit doesn't return all the memory that a tab was taking when you close that tabAug 17 21:20

_GoblinI saw a similar issue with Python 2.5 (I think)Aug 17 21:21
schestowitzwb, _Hicham_ Aug 17 21:21
DaemonFCmeaning that that tab is more connected to the rest of the browser than it should beAug 17 21:21
DaemonFCmeaning, possible security threat tooAug 17 21:21
_Hicham_thanks schestowitzAug 17 21:21
DaemonFCif they're connected and not a fully separated process, I'm sure that this opens up a code injection vulnerability, a privacy liability at leastAug 17 21:22

_Hicham_why separate processes ? that what threads are forAug 17 21:23
DaemonFCit opens them as full processesAug 17 21:24
DaemonFCevery time you open a new tab, that's another "iexplore.exe" processAug 17 21:24
DaemonFCI think in Windows, it's easier to spawn a second process and call it a threadAug 17 21:25
DaemonFCthat's what I see everything doingAug 17 21:25
DaemonFCsome things that have to be very high performance are true multithreaded applications, like video gamesAug 17 21:26
