I created a HTML that shows a low performance issue in Firefox 3 on Linux. It is simmilar to this Launchpad Bug.
This HTML was extracted from the Facebook app Armies,it originally had 3000+ lines of HTML & 10,000+ lines of CSS and i shruk it to about 60 lines of code. 60 line of bad code (but w3c valid).

See for yourself: http://lubosz.de/Firefox3PerformanceBug/

I also posted it on bugzilla.mozilla.org

I made a screen recording of my firefox going nuts (comparded to Konqueror KDE4 and Opera 9.50):

You also can download the full 1440×900 xserver ogg dump.

Today ICQ blocked alternative clients, like Pidgin, Adium and Kopete for KDE3 (Kopete KDE4 still works). Some users experienced problems in Miranda too. But i tried the newest Miranda version in Wine, and it worked.

ICQ tells the Client that it’s Version is too old. The message was: “The Client version you are using is too old. Please upgrade at http://pidgin.im”. Thats why the Users did a DDOS Attack to Pidgin.im :D

In german: “Die Client-Version die Sie nutzen, ist zu alt. Bitte updaten sie unter http://pidgin.im/.”

Here are some screenies:

Adium X

Kopete KDE 3

Pidgin 2.4.1 Ubuntu Linux

Pidgin 2.4.2 Windows XP

Fixes:

Pidgin Windows: Mirror 1 Mirror 2

Pidgin Linux (ubuntu): Mirror 1 Mirror 2 Alternative Version

Kopete KDE3: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165502#c26

Adium: http://alexmak.net/downloads/Adium_1.1.2.dmg

Moar fixes: http://www2.hs-esslingen.de/~hoadit00/pidgin/

So ICQ tried Users to convert to ICQ6, but free software works fast… Hack the planet

Currently you have to recompile libpurple for adium. If you want support for that, try the #adium chanel on irc.freenode.net

…oder auch vor 4 Jahren, nämlich auf der Theater-Musikfreizeit auf Burg Feuerstein 2003, kam dieses Video hier zustande was ich kind of posten wollte. Das Intro von Smack my Bitch Up, körperlich interpretiert von mir (für mehr war anscheinend keine kraft mehr da, wer weiss was ich an diesem Tag schon alles getrieben habe…)

Vielen dank an Clockwork für die Anfertigung und Bereitstellung des Videos.

Tertris Cover NESIm folgenden Beitrag hören Sie zum einen Korobeiniki, ein russisches Volkslied.

In unseren Sphären vielleicht besser bekannt als Tetris A Music vom Gameboy Classic.

Weiter im Programm geht es mit einem Stück von Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, aus der Ballette Der Nußknacker mit dem Titel Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy, auch bekannt als Tetris A Music vom Nintendo Entertainment System.

Falls irgendjemand weiss wie die Tetris B Musik auf dem Gameboy Classic im Original heißt, soll er mit bitte bescheid sagen, ich suche schon seit Jahren ^^
