Perfect, I'll be able to spend some of Canada Day on July First switching over from 3.01

I hope Canada and the rest of the world is paying attention. And makes their own information available for everyone to see.

Problem. You are interested in how the Google Chrome 3.0 Dev, Firefox 3.5 RC, Safari 4.0 for Windows, and Opera 10b web browsers manage memory on the Windows Vista operating system over moderate usage, such as with 150 top web sites. These numbers can be measured but there are complexities involved in measuring memory. Solution. Here we look at a program that simulates a user visiting the top 150 web sites from Alexa from the command line, with visits occurring at short but varying intervals in many tabs.

It seems the federal government (ie. the PC party) have reinforced their message of last week, with another big FUCK YOU to Toronto, and Ontario. It's been clear since they took power that they hate Toronto and Ontario and have systematically tried their best to fuck both over repeatedly. And while...

FUCK YOU Harper!

Toronto Mayor David Miller and Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty travelled to Thunder Bay on Friday to formally announce a $1.2-billion contract with Bombardier to build a new fleet of streetcars for the transit system in the provincial capital.

Adam is my ROCK GOD!

Go figure the very people Hollyweird and the Music Industry have been blaming for all their woes are their best customers.

I just got my c-strings yesterday and wore one today for the first time, and I love it, so sexy and feels good too

seems the future isn't what it used to be!

Auto racing is going green as top teams and upstarts embrace a range of tech, from biodiesel to hybrids and even electric drivetrains. A British team is doing them one better, using recycled and natural materials in a Formula 3 car fueled by vegetable oil and waste chocolate.

Today e-Bay announced they will be closing their Vancouver, BC, Canada offices letting go 700 people. And replacing them with new staff in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. I think Canadians need to send e-Bay and other US companies that are pulling out their Canadian operations a clear message, that if...

Wired.com got its mitts on the first official cockpit video and other footage from the recent test of Virgin Mothership Eve at the Scaled Composites skunkworks operation in sunny SoCal. Scaled Composites and Virgin tend to keep the test results hush-hush but say “several recent published articles have been sufficiently inaccurate and negative” to make them “set the record straight.”

GE will first focus on selling the technology to commercial markets like movie studios and hospitals, but selling to the broader corporate and consumer market is the larger goal."

Some weird and interesting new science facts

Mike writes "It's official: Yahoo is pulling the plug, and GeoCities is dead. GeoCities had suffered a long and drawn-out battle with its health over the past decade. An antiquated service model and outdated technology are widely blamed for the struggle. An official cause of death, however, has yet to be determined. Awful, eye-punishing graphics, lack of relevancy, and 'lowest-common-denominator design' are believed to have contributed to it's demise. GeoCities was 15 years old." There is doubtless a lot of funny and informative stuff on there that's worth saving (not just Jesux, which pudge has now migrated). If some of it belongs to you, perhaps you should move it sometime in the next few months.

Urchin writes "Laser beams just gained a new property — they can curve through space. That's what happens when ultrashort laser pulses pass through a phase pattern mask and a lens, which together shift the most intense region of the beam from the center to the right-hand side. The asymmetry in the pulse causes it to drift progressively further to the right along an arc as it travels. The laser beam is so intense that it ionizes the air it passes through to create a curved plasma channel. Those kinds of channels can be up to 100 meters long — direct them at thunderclouds and they could first trigger lightning to spark and then act as a convenient but short-lived lightning rod to guide it safely to the ground, according to some researchers."
