I observed the same thing for me, and I am also a pianist.
Also, piano playing means i type with curved fingers unlike some of my fellow comp scientists, and I have never gotten RSI despite typing straight for longer periods than them. Hmm.
(ever try comparing Firefox and Seamonkey these days? Guess which is heavier...)
Oooh, i know! I know! It's Firefox, right?
Do I win something?
As a person that uses google docs, gmail, facebook and slashdot often, I love the fast JS in Chrome.
TraceMonkey isn't nearly as good - it has a strange habit of slowing FF down to a crawl at random intervals.
Yes, in other words, they share much of the same underlying code, but the interface is different.
Opera might not use less memory than Firefox at first, but give Firefox a day to start consuming your RAM and then we'll see.
Well, IE8 still has a horribly incompatible JS and DOM implementation, for starters.
I'm sorry, but IE8 is not really "standards compliant" at all. Fails most of the tests as well.
Actually, Linus made most of his fortunes from his stock options in Red Hat, given to him by way of thanks, the job at Transmeta was only just getting started then, and his LF work hadn't even begun.
Linus thinks differently.
He uses the term "fork" to apply to all the variations of the Linux kernel that exist throughout the distributed git kernel repositories, e.g ACox's fork or Ogawa's fork.
Actually, IE8's JS seems just as garbagey as IE7 -- jQuery et al hide that though.
Nah, if they want a standards compliant browser, they'll just code up something around Webkit like Apple and Google have.
The reason they're holding on with IE is they don't want to make a standards compliant browser - it suits them if everyone is locked into using windows for their apps and web apps run bad.
Alot of tabs and windows in Chromium, which is less memory efficient than Firefox usually, is less ram than that. Way less.
It's the v8 engine. If you use Nitro or something instead, your JS is slower but it works on all platforms - Android does this.
I am an Obama supporter that actually knew what "Change" he wanted, and was quite happy about it too! you might not agree with me, but don't assume all obama supporters blindly supported him without checking the facts
Good luck actually *using* it though.
No, but you wanted to port a perfectly good Linux distribution for mobiles to Minix or L4.
