9/11 poll

Other.

Combination terrorist attack/Bush setup. Information was disclosed to the president that an attack was imminent. I don’t believe 100% that it was an inside job because quite frankly Bush is not smart enough to create a plan as intelligent as the 9/11 attacks were. I do however feel that he felt that allowing the terrorist attacks to happen rather than preventing them suited his personal interests better.

Invading the middle east claiming that we were looking for Osama Bin Laden. Then looking for WMD’s in Iraq. Jacking up oil prices benefiting both him and his wealthy oil tycoon friends. And finally the hanging of Saddam Hussein which ended the personal vendetta and accomplishing everything he wanted to accomplish in the middle east. Yet, he still won’t pull the troops and we keep funding a war on a personal vendetta which has ended.

Spore Origins

Anyone with an iPhone or iPod Touch should obtain this game in which ever way you see fit. Once you have played it be amazed of the graphic processing power of such a small device and how addicting just a 75 megabyte application for a handheld device can be.

After you have done that get highly irritated because an accelerometer is a terrible input device which sucks most of the enjoyment you could potentially have out of the game.

It’s $10 dollars….if you can’t come up with that you suck at the internet.

Not trolling just being honest ask mommy for her CC or go to Wal-Mart or CVS to get a VISA gift card.

SLIPKNOT FANS

I’m originally from Cleveland so Slipknot will always be a Mushroomhead ripoff in my opinion. I realize the music is different between the bands, but the image behind both bands seems like almost to big of a similarity to be a coincidence.

Musically I like virtually everything off the self-titled, IOWA was alright and then it seemed like everything kind of went down hill. M.F.K.R. was ok too but that was never a major release.

Google Chrome Benchmark and Review

I look forward to trying this with my Macbook.

If you’re good with command lines you can actually get the source and compile it for Leopard. I haven’t tried it on OS X yet but plan to in the next few days. If you want to try it on OS X I suggest reading up on http://code.google.com/chromium/

Google Chrome Benchmark and Review

you forgot to include internet explorer

If I remember correctly, IE is actually not supported by Forumwarz and if it is, it would be a version that I don’t have installed. I generally stay away from IE period.

Google Chrome Benchmark and Review

(For those who don’t like reading just go to the TL;DR version at the bottom of this post)

There’s already been a thread about Google Chrome which can be found here. However, when reading up on Google Chrome much of what I read boasted that it has the fastest JavaScript and Ajax request and processing time. Since Forumwarz uses a lot of Ajax I thought perhaps using the browser might give me an edge on aspects of the game such as speedruns. So I did what any other nerd would do and ran some benchmarks.

The two tests I ran were the SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark and the Ajax and Flex Data Loading Benchmark. And was pretty surprised with the results that I got. I could post the boring graphs and printouts of the tests but most people wouldn’t know what they’re reading anyhow.

So just to summarize my research Firefox 3.01 is the second fastest browser I tested. Google Chrome beat Firefox 3.01 on SunSpider by nearly 4000 ms (4 seconds) and about 5 to 6 seconds on each of the Ajax and Flex tests. So now by the statistics I have here are the fastest browers (for Ajax heavy sites) in order:

  
1. Google Chrome (+5s) 
2. Firefox 3.01 (0)
3. Firefox 3.1a1 (-1s)
4. Opera 9.5 (-6s)

I used Firefox 3.01 as the base of my tests and to my surprise on it’s first day Google Chrome out benchmarks anything currently available for Windows. And even more surprising to me on it’s first day the application seems to be fairly stable and uses less memory than any of the other 3 browsers I tested.

However benchmarks are only benchmarks and when it comes right down to it statistics when it comes to browsers never really reflect real world usage. So to further my tests I took both Firefox 3.01 and Google Chrome and actually used most aspects of Forumwarz (battles, sTalk, IDC, etc) to see how noticeable of a difference there was.

Sadly if you’re looking for an edge on speedruns you’re not going to get much help. Despite Google Chromes excellent support of AJAX on the backend it’s support for everything on the frontend is still like WebKit (the Safari rendering engine it is built on). For those who have used Safari on either OS X or Windows may have notice that the animations you see when in battle, opening sTalk and resizing IDC and whatnot are not as smooth as Firefox.

TL;DR version: Google Chrome is a solid browser which it’s speed on several tests prove to be faster that Firefox 3.01 while using less memory. However, when it comes to real world usage they are pretty much on the same level. You’ll likely see no dramatic changes in your speedrun times and those who use a lot of extensions in Firefox will start to miss them right away. It has potential to be great though.

Always funny: people getting hit in the face.

I can’t believe you’ve done this is a clbumic.

Should we smash Big Brother with the banhammer?

Have no beef against Banhammer BB however is a shady (wannabe exploiting) jerk. In fact based on that information he might be linked to 9/11.
