Me working on a SPARC system with 17 GB RAM and 25 processors. :p And it is quite old actually...atleast 7 years or so.

Wrong title. Sun has already had 8 core systems out for quite a while. Look here : *www.internetnews.com/ent-news/article.php/3563781 . So first 8 core desktop system perhaps.

That was a useful link for those who use Firefox from their workplace. Office proxy servers usually block the update. But anyway...if it's considered "advertising"...fine.

I first realized that an update must have been released when I saw that the number of people searching for a way to update Firefox manually using a .Mar file had jumped up quite a bit in the last couple of days (I can see the search terms people used to get to my blog). So in case you have...

So now offices will ban Yahoo and Google mail sites too. Mine already does. :mad:

Moral of the story : Do some whacko calculations. Bask in the glory of a million page views. Isn't Google saving enough power already by giving people accurate search results quickly? BTW, another bit of info, power to keep it's servers up is one of Google's major expenses. Infact, I believe...

A bit late...but here is the blogpost on how to perform a manual update for firefox using a .mar file. I hope someone or the other will find it to be of use. A lot of people seem to have posted problems with updating at various places on the net. Would be great if you could Digg the post using...

Any Digit junta done well in CAT this year? www.pagalguy.com/forum is facing a crazy surge in traffic.

Hmm. IPTV is all set to change the rules of the game in the near future. Infact my employer, Tech Mahindra, is doing a lot of R&D in the field. Of course, God knows when enough bandwidth will be available in India for reliable, good quality service. Heh...BSNL 2Mbps (400MB)...watch 3 soaps...

Thanks, Rajiv ! Would be awesome to have your comment on the blog too if possible. Bloggers love comments on their posts. :) __________ Never mind. Got the file. And managed to do a manual update. Will make a blog post on how to do that soon.

Hold on until the update shows up under Synaptic. I don't know if it's already there. But it shouldn't take more than a couple of days. __________ I think the update file which is, I believe, a .mar (Mozilla ARchive) file, is also being blocked by my proxy. The Mozilla site lists steps on how...

You're kind of right. Was in a hurry to post this first :D. Thought it might help since I could edit that post to provide more links / info later as I posted this elsewhere too. Something related that I'm working on...."Auto-update" failed for my PC at work. I can't download the full setup due...

FYI : *onkarjoshi.wordpress.com/2006/12/20/firefox-updates-released-15092001/ Links to the download page, fixes made provided in the post. Update immediately!

That tip is supposed to help those who are habituated to using the built in search box in the upper right corner. Atleast I, almost never visit the google homepage directly. One can of course set their homepage to google.co.in and go HOME by doing an Alt+Home.

When Googling from Firefox from India, search queries are sent to google.com but are redirected to google.co.in causing an irritating lag. This can be fixed by editing the google.xml file (for Firefox 2) in the installation folder. Now I get much faster results ! I guess this could be of...

Oh well....I bet there are a gazillion more bugs waiting to be reported. :roll: Trust MS to not fix problems which have been reported long ago.

If a .chm (Compiled Help file) has a '#' character in the file name, windows does not seem to be able to open the file correctely. Rename the file to be without the '#' character and things will go fine. I found this on Windows XP and 2000 while trying to open an e-book on C# . So where do I...
