Firefox tweak

Fasterfox!!! I think its really improved my speeds, and its free!!!! 

Seriously give it a try

I have had this for a while and it's not changed much really, other than having a idle/load time on the bottom bar

Also some webservers have anti-fasterfox scripts as it puts more load onto the server on 'suprtcharged' mode, exceeds RFC specs

Who cares about webservers, blitz 'em all  

[mrapoc]

yea, RIGHT ON!

hell yeah !

I just read about the new intel quad core server procs that share the same architecture, fsb, cache as the core 2 duo...I hope AMD are shaping up with something special cos when these puppies hit the street and folks put em together with dedicated quad boards....holy heck are they going to get bitch-slapped in the market !?

Just wish I could get my organisation to stop pissing around with Oracle RAC and a cr*ppy little 2 box, 2 proc webcluster for my app !!?!

We host a two-node Oracle RAC cluster for Hewlett-packard - it sucks.

my mob have (alledgedly - I've not risked the tanning effect of going into the room !)  4 four-way nodes...we're get a half share of one of the nodes and a half-share of another for contingency and some funky load-balancing stuff it can do when Y/E comes and everyone starts thrashing the cr@p out of the app finishing up their business !

Am not quivering with excitement like some of the other nerds in London are atm...these are web apps we are supporting for goodness sake ! I will be interested to see if we can push it hard though :0)
