Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can get hold of performance stats on how long Firefox take to open really large websites (like > 500k of xhtml). I have done some initial tests with a page of around 1MB and found that Firefox just stops for about 5mins while it gets over the shock. I could go though and test a lot more combinations, but I hoping to find some performance tests that show the point where Firefox starts to degrade.

Cheers,
Hoopa

It's not the XML parser, i can tell you that. I've used 3.0b3 to open a 400MB xml file (it was by accident, I wanted to open it with XMLSpy >_<) and it only took firefox about 10 seconds to render the xml tree. I don't know how much of that was the pulling it off of the disk

Homework teaches kids the bleak future of corporate life...no matter how high ya get, you always take work home with you...there just isn't any way around it.

No, this does not work on a corporate (Active Directory) computer. Actually this does not work on a regular computer unless you have logged in with another administrator rights account. This may be a little different and might work on a XP Home edition machine but you will never find (shouldn’t find) one of them in a corporate environment.

Actually, it is possible on an AD network. All you need to do is get local administrator access, then you can either pull or sniff the cached AD hashes (well, unless you set cached logins to zero) out of the registry with some specialized tools. Then you just run them through john the ripper/cain & abel/or l0pht...pick your poison.

On my servers I usually just run apache as apache:apache and chown my public html directories to user:apache, chmod it to g+rxs and everything works fine.

I didn't realize anyone still played RO. It's so...um, dated...these days.

Looks like you may be doing some browser specific coding...this kinda thing is why I can't stand web design :/

Though if you invite from your account and the trial account becomes a paid account you receive a free month

Hmm...that explains why my friends keep pestering me to lose 100 or so IQ points and switch from FFXI to WoW. Bastards!

Man, with all the legal issues e-gold is fighting right now, I'd take a "ten foot pole" policy with that company until they get all their **** sorted out.Just a little common sense to avoid getting screwed by a scammer or by the company itself. You can't have a service with so little accountability without getting prosecuted yourself for long...somewhere, somehow, someone is going to have to produce their books to auditors...

hacker wars are crazy this admin was like you better stop you crazy hacker and this other dude was like NEVER and he threatoned to delete the forums

You're describing cracker behavior, not hackers. Get it right...the fact that people like you don't know the difference and can't distinguish between the two is why "hacking" is considered illegal activity.

I just pop the back off with a screwdriver and give it a good blow with the compressor...usually takes care of all the particles of crap that get in there.

Sounds like google mishandled an internal error...I don't think there's search type permissions even implemented in google's main search engine yet (though I know the google appliance supports access control lists).

As far as GUI work is concerned...if I have a large number of dialogs and interfaces to code, I'd rather use netbeans over eclipse because of Matisse, the GUI builder that's part of it. It's way easier...

Most chat rooms where? Otherwise this seems more like common sense than an actual guide...

I hate reviving old topics like this...but do we have any other FFXI players here?I'm Ethergeek on sylph.

Mac's were designed around the idea that serious gamers just buy an Xbox360 I think

Final Fantasy FTW! Except 9. I refuse to consider Final Fantasy 9 a serious game. But yea, 7, 8, and 11 are teh awesome. Even on the DS I'd rather play 3 or 12:Revenant Wings than Zelda:Phantom Hourglass; I don't care how well-received the game was, Final Fantasy is way better.

Vista and XP cost the same for me ;)I'd stick with XP if I had to use windows on my personal machine. It really is more stable than vista, less resource hungry too. The only place I use Vista is on my Boot Camp partition on my MacBookPro. I just think it's funny to see a Mac run vista faster than most of the "vista certified" machines out there.Even then, the only reason I have a Boot Camp partition at all is so I can play Final Fantasy 11 when I'm on the road away from my Xbox 360...

It really depends for me...I can play guitar hero 2/3 for 8 hours straight if I'm trying to 5star or perfect an entire set...I can also waste away entire days playing final fantasy 11 and hanging out with my linkshell buddies doing quests...sometimes I'll go help someone out on a quest that I've already done for fun.I can't play halo 3 for more than a couple hours though, it just isn't fun after that long.

I don't want to by any means start a windows bashing fest...but seriously, what *doesn't* put Windows XP at risk? It's getting to the point where my Secunia RSS feeds for XP are bigger in the morning than my 30 other feeds (including consumerist, engadget, slashdot and digg) COMBINED.I'm with xboxrulz on this one...Mac user and effin LOVING IT.

Sorry, I was thinking about the Unix command line, which is governed by the ssh access here at Xisto. I can guess that you have no ssh access, so let's forget about the chmod thing.

You can still use the file manager to chmod files if I remember correctly.

No problem with the latest core. However, if you want to install the full Linux release on an old Pentium II machine with only 32 or 64 megs memory and an old graphic adapter, you will be surprized when running the latest kde tools.

If all you have is 64 megs of RAM, I wouldn't even recommend putting X11 on there...

I was at a client site for a week that ran websense...what a pain in the *bottom*! Blocked ****ing everything and even had an application level filter.So, I logged into my router at home via my phone's data connection and forwarded port 443 to my VPN box on my LAN running openvpn, set the protocol to TCP and routed all my traffic through there. Sanity restored

It's not like it's windows...I can run a 2.6 kernel in the same requirements as a 2.4 kernel...I don't see the issue here. The biggest hog in a linux system would be the X server and window manager (and all the crap the wm starts up...kde comes to mind) so if you use a conservative window manager like gnome or icewm or enlightenment you should have no problem running the latest fedora core version on a P2.

I'll appreciate if you can teach us how to convert real audio file to mp3? Have you got a patch therefore for some of the enterprise applications?
Thanks.

Use graphedit. Create a directshow filterchain with a file reader -> rm decoder -> mp3 encoder -> file writer and run it. There are easier ways, but they cost money.

Its a great tutorial but I need to read it several times to concieve - why so troublesome when in linux it comes naturally?

Somewhere microsoft thought the confusing mess of permissions and user account paradigms and security levels was less complicated than POSIX spec permissions...LOL
