I honestly don't know. For Firefox extensions, I suspect very few need to actually change if all they are using is javascript and XUL (which are the vast majority). Javascript language specification ignores computer architecture. It's up to the javascript interpreter to care about that and this...

>> What Should We Expect? 1. Other than what was discussed, if the application makes use of all the native datatypes for 64 bit systems, there could be a significant increase in memory footprint. However this can be optimized. While a 64bit integer should theoretically be default integer...

Absolutely. They brought this on themselves. Not that they asked anyone to compete, but that over the past 2 or 3 years their actions (or lack thereof), particularly on the privacy front, opened a real window of opportunity in this market. Facebook had lost much of its sex appeal, a problem that...

There's an intense sense or irony to all of this when we remember some of the for-the-good-of-mankind dialog lines we are constantly thrown into when watching the latest and greatest internet-has-changed-the-world-OMG-LOLZ flick, named "The Social Network". For the good of what?... Nothing like...

I fully agree Optix. This makes very little sense and gives the game market a legal exception, not the contrary. The world doesn't turn everyday behind rose tinted glasses. Many parents simply do not have the ability to follow their kids activities. Many in fact work the whole time the sun is...

It also means that more users can run Linux as a Guest on windows. And do it with better performance and results (see here, 4th question under Hyper-V general). While there's nothing altruistic about Microsoft's presence in the Linux kernel. It benefits both sides tremendously. That's part of...

I'm thinking of buying one myself as part of my plans to improve my current (lackluster) backup strategy. But that's the only use I want to make of external hard drive enclosures; i.e. something meant to be turned on, do its thing and be turned off next. Never as a full-time access hard drive...

Wow, a 500 W duster. It will blow the chips right off their socks :p

Welcome to the club :) An E4200, here. On the side currently, waiting for some use. But I only upgraded this February to the machine you see in my signature. I'll hit the first one who laughs :) This is the reason I'm replying. Pay attention to everything you can learn from Tharic and...

That's indeed quite a feat. But a bit worrying too. 773 hours would be the equivalent of 32 days of non-stop playing. That level of commitment to a game in the course of a single year is remarkable. But not healthy. And... I can attest for that. A (very) special breed of online games are the...

Ok, guys. Thanks. That clears it up for me.

Is it technically possible to SLI four GTX 590 cards? I answered somewhere else, it is. But I think my answer may be wrong. I based it on my understanding of SLI and on this fella (http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3199988). However, Nvidia's website refers to a Quad-SLI setup in a different light...

Consider my old Toshiba Satellite Pro 6000. This is a 9 year old laptop I just keep because I have good memories of it on the back of a car... I'm joking. I keep it for sentimental reasons. If I go to my closet and take it out right now, I can assure you this laptop will boot as it always did...

This is my determining factor in making the move to an SSD. It's just that I do want to trust my drives beyond the warranty period. Not because I don't expect to buy anything else for years to come, but because I don't know if I will. And having a drive unexpectedly die on me and be caught with...

First, why Moscow has an Nvidia headquarters and Lisbon has not? Second, amazing artist, crappy video music that nearly made me wish for the nyan cat.

Quick! Someone grab CorsairGeorge and don't let him leave these boards ever again!

I've been called many things, but weirdo is one of the most common. Indeed. And it doesn't shock me. Alternatively I started gaming back in the early 80s on the ZX Spectrum and haven't stopped since. Between consoles, a decade of arcades and computer games, I've done it all. At the age of 41...

Bling! The UI didn't work so well for gmail though. At least to me. I tested both "Preview" and "Preview (dense)" there and was far from impressed. Did give it a shot for a couple of hours knowing these things sometimes take time to get used to, but couldn't resist going back to "New Blue". I...

And what about when they start bragging about having won? That's when I truly go red-eyed and start getting designs on murder.

I'll admit. Made me laugh. Also on the part when it is blown to smithereens by a well placed laser beam. Unfortunately, the thing's not dead... "I can't be killed, ha-ha", and all that usual speech of I'm-an-internet-meme-duh, typical of copycats, who -- having not invented the actual meme --...
