Nope... still is the default browser but rebol is calling FF

Does your start menu have a reference to your default browser? If 
so and it is Firefox, then Chrome is missing something.

start menu points to Chrome

haha, just read comics - it is kind of cool way to explain some features 
... except the fact, how they turned inability to have properly threaded 
app into advantage talking about processes. While they claim single 
process (and address space) app will not release memory properly 
on one hand, on the other hand they mention overhead of data copy 
needed for their task based aproach, and somehow mysteriously they 
claim that "overtime it means less memory bloat"

I'm afraid that their discussion of the effects of memory fragmentation 
is a real issue in memory management systems without compaction or 
other techniques to reduce it. You can have a lot of memory that 
is useless because the free memory is not in large enough chunks.

This is why I have repeatedly requested details about REBOL's recycle 
algorithm. With the wrong algorithm, REBOL could be subject to the 
same problems the comic discusses, like delays and fragmentation.

yes, most probably true. IIRC Ladislav discussed that topic with 
Carl, but I don't remember the details. GC will be part of closed 
source part of R3, no?

I would assume so, with the exception of the part which requests 
memory from the OS. It could still be documented though.

Guys, nice chat but can we move to group performance or something 
like this? I like TechNews because it's just about that and no noise...

Nice text input method for touch screens.

Very nice

I guess we can do that in Rebol too.

Head over to FreshMeat now if you wanna see Cheyenne, QM and R/S

url might be good

Shall I be nasty and say http://google.com? :-)

OK, for those who have no idea what FM is:

http://freshmeat.net/

I'm vegan

The current news is digestable

what exactly are you using cheyenne, qm and r/s for ?

Nothing, that's up to you :-)

I'm a platform provider

So, does this mean Orca has been abandoned?

And you're supplying REBOL instead?

No, why? I'm supplying both

Just wondering since all of the above clearly needs REBOL

Actually, the system runs without REBOL, but it doesn't work without 
ORCA

I'm also starting to do more ORCA these days

It's on OSNews now:

http://osnews.com/story/20285/Syllable_Server_0_3_Released

I already commented on someone dissing your choice to use REBOL :)

Yeah, I saw that. :-) Thanks!

It's ORCA, though, not OSCAR

I'm terrible with names. That is probably why noone has modded my 
post up.

I asked a question about ORCA's status there, to keep the discussion 
public.

Ehm, I never bothered to register with OSNews when they closed up

we can let BrianH answer :-)

I tried, but I can't edit my comment. I sent feedback. I'm hoping 
to fix it before someone points out the error in a public forum.

http://development.syllable.org/pages/index.htmlpoints to the ORCA 
status document

One czech IT related portal reports, that Cisco buys Jabber, to enhance 
its IM product capabilities. I wonder who buys R3 plus rebservices 
:-)

Just when you thought it was dead, and buried, and rotting....

Interesting read ... explains a lot to those of us who've not kept 
up

If they make a PS3 version...

They said they have had it running on a PS3 .. so will you do the 
REBOL port ? ;)

noone can do a REBOL port unless Carl releases host sources :-)

Minor details

The fatal error in their aproach is, that they should have been moving 
to x86 in 2000 already. PPC might be fine, but it caused a damage 
...

lots of cheap PS3s

yes, PS3 is different league than plain A1 (you can't buy new ones) 
or even SAM (600 or more EUR for sigle board? 400MHz? Othere expenses 
- hd, memory, power supply, case, OS)

I remember when they had Amiga on a PCI card ...
