Mozilla Corp. will use a several-week delay it recently added to the Firefox 3 .1 schedule to build a private browsing mode and beef up the browser's address bar, the company said today. Three weeks ago, the company said it would insert four to five more weeks into the timetable, part of a reaction to changes in the browser market, including the introduction by Google Inc. of its Chrome browser . Then, Mozilla said it would probably use the time to add a privacy mode and to punch up its TraceMonkey JavaScript engine performance .

Kena Sweeping Windows Bajakan? Pahami Prosedurnya...

Yang paling ditakutkan oleh para pengusaha warnet adalah apalagi kalau bukan yang namanya sweeping software bajakan. Namun dalam perkembangannya sweeping yang dilakukan sudah mengarah pada 'mencari-cari' kesalahan. Bisa jadi software -nya asli, tapi ternyata menyimpan mp3 bajakan. Kena deh...Padahal kalau kita mau lebih 'kendhel', kita punya hak untuk mempertahankan komputer kita bila disita oleh polisi. Hal itu dikarenakan proses pembuktian keterlibatan seseorang dalam tindakan kriminal yang menggunakan komputer membutuhkan waktu yang lama, termasuk melakukan pengintaian. Jadi, apabila ada polisi yang berani masuk ke dalam warnet dan menyatakan harus menyita semua komputer yang ada berarti mereka adalah oknum yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Berikut saya kutip prosedurnya dari milis di tempat saya yang di- post dari Joseph Adi ( yosprofec@gmail.com ), di mana pernyataan di bawah ini diperoleh langsung dari pihak Microsoft Indonesia dan juga melalui perwakilannya, yaitu

32 vs 64 bit

A change from a 32-bit to a 64-bit architecture is a fundamental alteration, as most operating systems must be extensively modified to take advantage of the new architecture. Other software must also be ported to use the new capabilities; older software is usually supported through either a hardware compatibility mode (in which the new processors support the older 32-bit version of the instruction set as well as the 64-bit version), through software emulation , or by the actual implementation of a 32-bit processor core within the 64-bit processor (as with the Itanium processors from Intel, which include an x86 processor core to run 32-bit x86 applications). The operating systems for those 64-bit architectures generally support both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. 64-bit processors calculate particular tasks (such as factorials of large figures) twice as fast as working in 32-bit environments (given example is derived from comparison between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Calculator; n
