Please cite facts, not unsubstantiated tinfoil hat material devoid of citations. I has been shown [1] that the risk of being affected by narcolepsy among children vaccinated with P…

The graphics output from the CPU is sent over Intel's own FDI (Flexible Display Interface), so the limitation lies in the PCH (chipset) that converts FDI to the various display int…

I disagree with the premise in a similarly nonsensical fashion. (I mentioned neither execution performance nor weapons in my reply.) The ultimate goal in a competition is to solve …

Well sure, adding "where execution time is factored" makes it hard to disagree with you. (And ultimately, it usually becomes a factor sooner or later.) That wasn't the context in w…

If the goal of the competition is to slice apples, then a knife is pretty good compared to a gun. Or if the competition takes place under water. Or if you're Steven Seagal and the …

Agreed. If performance is the main (or an important) criteria for the competition then the choice of language is rather more significant.

Topaz [1] is a Ruby implemented using RPython (so it uses the same JIT mechanisms as PyPy). [1] http://docs.topazruby.com/en/latest/blog/announcing-topaz/

Wouldn't you want to use a language that is familiar in a competition? If Ruby is your forte, surely you should use it? I fail to see how "magic" properties of a language matter if…

The described behavior is the default behavior. You can change it to load all tabs after restart in the options†. To always load all tabs after (re)start, go to Preferences > Tabs …

I looked into doing something like this a couple of years ago, the regulations in Sweden are quite strict. First you need to send an application [1] to the Swedish transport agency…

This idea can be extended even further, to users who do not know how to (or cannot) build the software in question. One example of this is mozregressionfinder [1] that was created …

Safari implements NPAPI [1] and could probably reuse any NPAPI plugin that existed on OS X at the time right off the bat. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI

Per-window private browsing is implemented and available in Nightly according to [1] (so, most likely in Aurora after the release shift this week). So hopefully it'll be in Firefox…

I believe both Chrome and Firefox 4 uses ANGLE if the 3D driver is too old. So it's possible to only hit the CPU with WebGL in certain instances.
