In Firefox you can easily answer questions like "how much memory are strings taking up on this page", thanks to the fine-grained measurements available in about:memory.
I don't know of a way to get these measurements in other browsers. Chrome's about:memory page contains much coarser measurements, for example.
They want to build an open wireless router. I think they want a open source software like openWRT. I found I was wrong, when I read comments, everybody discuss the router hardware...
I want to know, why they calling hackers to do with hardware not software?
Incorrect. The scheduling only ensures that the queues in the network (from the NIC onwards) don't fill up. However, there queues are still there in the host and in the arbiter. The authors never measure or demonstrate that these queues are any shorter, that the tail latencies are improved for any real workload, or that there is any actual benefit in the approach for a real world scenario.
I don't agree with you. Unless your mail volume is too small. In my work, sometimes I need to search some important mails long before. You read a message and it's not important in the current, you delete it, but someday you found this message can help you and you can't find it. You will crazy. Because it happened to me.
He never said he deletes messages, just that they aren't in his inbox.
I archive things I may want to search later, and star and leave in my inbox things I need to do later. Once they are done, they get archived. Often the inbox has no emails, but my account has 6k+
Amazing, the blog's owner is a designer? Full of modern sense. It's a good idea, combine many health apps and LBS apps data, display to user. It's done automatically?
It's just like an old game, when I was a middle student in China. The only different place is game map. Different level has different map to increase the difficulty.
I'm interested in Raspberry Pi. I bought one before. It's just a small PC, use one hand you can hold it. But when you want to Raspberry to do some complex works, it let you down. I want to know where does Raspberry Pi can work well?
"Fantastic" may be overstating it. I've been running Raspbmc for about 15 months now, and although the video rendering is very good, the XMBC UI is a bit laggy and unresponsive (although there seems to have been an improvement recently). I've also used it as an SFTP client and to run a few light cron jobs (rock solid there).
Given the price, I am pleased with it, but I wouldn't recommend it as a media center for the non-tech savvy.
Agreed. I wish that RPi has some kind of cheap prebuild of a mediaplayer. If would be GREAT for non-techies if it just had a real power on/off switch, IR sensor & a basic remote that just works (probably asking for too much there).
I reckon you could fix the lag of the GUI if someone implemented Raspbmc/OpenELEC with Wayland instead of X-server. Not much has to change for this to be possible. Only the power switch & IR sensor would have to be apart of it. Remote could potentially be third party and WBMC would a man hours issue.
If you're willing to spend quite a bit of time configuring XBMC it runs smoothly. I use openelec with the theme 'bello', any animation heavy themes will kill it straight away.
Every companies can build their own browser. It's a good thing for WEB developers. The companies can limit their works internet behavior. For me, may be some day I can use this to build my own browser.
"speed of 10 Gbps for transmission of data over traditional copper telephone lines"
Good news for some places where they still use copper telephone lines connect to the Internet. But in my view, Chinese operators don't like this technology, they more like optical fiber. The first, it's faster than copper telephone and the future copper telephone lines will completely replaced. The second, in countrysides some bad guys steal the copper to sell for money, it's a big problem for operators.
Take for example remote/rural communities however. It is enormous investment to run fiber out to these communities. Eventually, the copper will need to be upgraded... In the mean time, this is an excellent stopgap measure.
In some ways, you are right. In China, some facts prove countryside's copper is often stolen.Chinese operators has a same measure, they call it "Fiber In, Copper Out"(translate for English it's so hard for me), first is improve network speed, second is reduce copper costs due to stolen. They prefer build fiber in countryside, rather than upgraded copper.
I worked for a consulting enginer in the 80's and our telecom guy said the same about African states use microwave for long links as the copper gets nicked.
