Huge and noticeable difference from the get-go. FF3 took around 2 mins from launching to showing up as browser to finish loading all the plug-ins and add-ons (I’ve got like 20 of them). In all those 2 mins, CPU util spiked 100% with the browser not responding. From there, loading a new page will caused the browser to freeze anywhere from 30 secs to a minute.

With FF4, 30 seconds flat from launching to usable browser. That really surprised me at the first time. I’m well pleased Another improvement was saving bookmark. While FF3 will take around 5 seconds for the Save Bookmark pop-up to appear, in FF4 it’s almost immediately.

Although some plug-ins are not compatible with FF4, a quick hack with the rdf files fixed it. But you’ll notice it’s a quick & dirty hack when the plug-in behaves rather quirky, like transparent menu for the LeetKey addon.

One thing that didn’t change is the RAM usage. With 3 tabs open with sites that are pure texts, the RAM util still go well above 250MB when left open for an entire day (~12hrs). But it didn’t lag or jerk like FF3 does, so I’m still ok with it.

All in all, I totally heart FF4.

Think about it.

The listing format is [postcode]<tab>[city]<tab>[state]. You can get the file from here.

I guess PR’s (or is it DAP) CAT mantra (competency,accountability,transparency) is a bit too much for the UMNOputras when all they want is “Show me the money!!”.

Oh well, considering the quality of the PR’s candidate, or lack of it, the time to cut off the fats, cancerous, and dying cells of the body was yesterday. With the next GE looming, delay in doing so will kill PR’s chances as well as the people’s trust in them. Not that the commoner trust BN anymore than PR.

PR once showed us a glimmer of bright future before BN’s tear gas crew blinded us once more. But we will never forget how beautiful it was.

Rounding up the list is #3 Mat Rempit, #4 road hoggers & #5 driving on emergency lane.

My personal opinion is this, if see the car behind you is right up your ass, it means ‘GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY, YOU SLOW-ASS-ROAD-HOGGER’. You see, if you’re going faster than the car behind you, you can’t be tailgated. Who cares if you’re already doing 140km/h in a 110km/h highway, the dude behind you is probably doing 200 before you force him down to a turtle pace crawl of 140.

If you can’t go any faster, get back inside the middle lane PRONTO! After the convoy of cars that you backed up had cleared, then you can carefully proceed back to the fastlane, while frequently watching the rear view mirror for any incoming car faster than you. A quick flash of light ALWAYS indicate you’re too slow.

It’s no surprise that tailgating surpass road hogging in the Annoy-o-meter. There are more slow ass road hogger complaining about speed demon tailgater than it is the other way.

[Update 2009-09-17] That was old news, the above stats was for 2 weeks back. Not using the indicator lights had passed tailgating.

Sounds great, isn’t it? Hell yeah.. but sometimes it just doesn’t work quite as well as you would like it to. Like hen I try asking “What do women want?”, “Wolfram|Alpha isn’t sure what to do with your input.” was the reply. Clueless one isn’t it, just like what most male of the species when posed the same question.

Click here to check out Wolfram|Alpha. Users had found some rather interesting eater eggs hidden in Wolfram|Alpha. Check out this article the easter eggs or this article for the interview with Stephen Wolfram, its creator.

I’ve also found someone had created Firefox extension that incorporate Wolfram|Alpha search with Google’s. How cool is that. Read the story and try it out.
