If it weren't for Chrome, no major browser would be seriously trying to make each tab run in separate processes, and it also put pressure on other browsers to increase the performance of their JavaScript engines. (Firefox 4 will have one process per tab if I remember right) I tried hard to find what Opera has contributed but I honestly can't come up with it. You'll have to ask one of the fanboys.

I'm trying to find out if I can get fiber optic internet over where I am, but the websites are so unclear... :|

I found out that IE9 will not work on XP. To quote one of the people I follow on Twitter, why does Microsoft hate web designers?

I'm not sure about that; I know almost no Swedish-specific grammar.

How can Fire fox lag anyone? I'm using the latest version, and my laptop is old. It has a 2GHz Celeron processor and only 320MB of RAM. Anyone is a big word. It lags on my 366mHz/256MB laptop, even though it's running Linux. :razz:

I use Echofon for Firefox. It's nothing special but it's mostly unobtrusive and I don't have to have a tab open for Twitter. I've also tried Choqok, but it uses KDE (I like to use apps specific to my environment when possible), runs in a separate window and I can't pronounce it so I decided to go for something in-browser.

Basically what Mcneilp, Shadow, Dan, Langzor, and JBlighted said. There's no point if it's not music that's yours, it's just what your songwriters handed you. Also I hate music that doesn't have at least some complexity, something that took skill to make or to preform. Like the Finnish band Hurriganes; Long story short they brought Rock'n'Roll to Finland in the 1970s. They knew 3 chords and no English (The lead singer, writing the songs, looked in an English dictionary for words that ended in the same letters), so their songs are incredibly easy to play. Horrible music, I don't care if it's "Classic". I'm not entirely sure; I must admit that I like a few songs by Timbaland, but it doesn't make me really feel anything, it just sounds awesome.

I haven't learned Japanese, but I'm working on a third language so I like to think I know what I'm talking about: If you really want to learn it properly, so that you can speak it fluently and don't forget it: Learn the basics, so that you almost understand what's going on a good amount of the time, then immerse yourself in it completely. In my case I started going to school in Swedish when I had hardly any idea what was going on in class, and I learned it that way in one school year.

So yeah, IE9's major features have been known for a while now, but now it's been previewed and all the rest of it. Long story short: IE9 moves rendering of a lot of things like fonts and SVG (And I think most HTML rendering, I'm not sure) to the GPU using Direct2D. It also scores a 55/100 on an Acid3 test, does rounded corners with CSS, and supports HTML5 (.h264, naturally). So this is how the JavaScript test results look: ...Which is all fine and dandy until you realize that with so much stuff moved to the GPU the CPU doesn't have much left to do other than evaluating JavaScript. Which means two things; 1. If Chrome, FF, Safari etc. move processing to the GPU, IE9 will look like it's standing still in comparison, and 2. You're still going to get horrible speeds on older hardware, especially when there is no GPU availible. As you can tell I'm a huge fan.

The best hobbies are the ones that you take seriously, and that's exactly what you should do. I can't imagine why you would voluntarily choose a job that you don't really want.

I have to say I agree about not using the ignore feature, if there's someone that's that bad, they usually aren't able to dodge the banhammer for long. I mean, there are people who annoy me because they push opinions that I see as illogical but I don't see that as a valid reason to ignore them.

Are you running Firefox? If so, get the addon Stylish. Once you've restarted Firefox, right-click on the icon in the bottom right corner, select Write New Style -> For forum.tip.it, name it whatever you want, and replace all the code in the box that appears there with this: @namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml); @-moz-document domain("forum.tip.it") { .post_ignore { display: none !important; } } Best I could slap out in 5 minutes. There's still a visible space, but I think you can cope with that.

Photoshop is not default anywhere, seeing as it's a separate piece of software that costs around 800$. I second Dirkmetal's post, I've used it for a long time too.

Which features exactly are you missing?

Troll much? I would argue that generalizing the content of posts based on the poster's age doesn't show a lot of maturity. Tip.it has several mods and crewbies well under 16, and part of the process of becoming a crewbie/mod is of course checking the content of their posts, naturally more mods than crewbies, but to a considerable extent for both.

Writing gadgets for Vista was one of the first things I did that had something to do with programming. :razz: I wrote these really useless things that did pretty much nothing. [/offtopic] I'd try it if I was still on Windows...

Except I interpret the comment as "Earth: something that shatters news reporters" (referring to the Fox News comment above). Well played, dsavi_x4. =D> Well played. Earth-shattering newspeople! :razz:

Went to the dentist today. I have one small hole, enough that it needs to be drilled though. It went a bit like this: (Dentist is calling things out to assistant who is writing things up on the computer, says something about the start of a hole, lifts her hand out of my gaping mouth) Me: There are no real holes, right? Dentist: There is one hole in this (Points to tooth) tooth. Me: Big enough to need drilling? Dentist: Yep. Me: (Is suddenly quite uncomfortable) I heard about this kind of water drill that you can use without the need for anesthesia, do you have that? Dentist: Yes, we have water drills. Me: So I wouldn't need anesthesia? Dentist: If you don't want it we don't have to give it to you. That's not exactly what I was thinking. :lol: So yeah. I've never gotten drilled before (That's what she said), and the chances are high that novacaine doesn't actually work on me (As it doesn't work on my mom), so does anyone know how likely it is that a place like this would have a real water drill as described here? Also has anyone had drilling done without local anesthetic?

Displaying gender is more informative, but people might get into the habit of looking at age and judging on that. So maybe gender, but not age.

Yay, more shock news! People are oversensitive in America, that's really stupid, they don't have any common sense and all the rest of it. [/topic] (Unless you count everyone else that will say the same thing or yell at me) :-)

I so beat you to that. You're off by days.

More than you are probably willing to pay. Well, if you want the real (Pro) version anyway it's like $600ish. There's a n00b version of it, ($75 or so) but personally I'd stick with something free. N00b versions of anything (Like Photoshop Elements) don't feel like honest products to me. I mean, there are programs like Cinelerra which are free but complete overkill, even for most stuff I do.

Yeah, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a suit. Also, I just found this topic again, still sums up my opinions on the matter pretty much.

Oh, yeah. Stupid government. I've changed my mind now.
