Lol, true :b. Nevertheless, I, for one, want Freenet to work on any computer, even old ones, not only on the latest quantum computers. The cpu-hogging (and other bugs) is due to crappy JavaScript implementations, I think. For example, the JavaScript on google-maps and youtube is frequently broken in my Midori browser, and I'm forced to use Firefox -- the only browser that website (un-)developers care about. Although, even in less buggy, more-efficient implementations, my cpu is still substantially bogged down with retarded animation and such. Adding (well, enforcing) another layer of complexity is just asking for trouble. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
