No, Ebaumsworld lost to the rage of the internet, what with them stealing all content they can find from other sites. It sure didn't make them popular under the knowing part of the internet users.

No. No he didn't earn it.

"Speed is not everything and we are not suckers for browsing speed. We want functionality!"

In the case of JS, speed is functionality. You can make so much better and more complicated web apps if the underlying engine - JS, can handle so much more than before.

Wll, it doesn't seem to work all that well for me... Sure, general responsiveness is faster, but I still have the following problems on my (probably 700 model, 7" screen and 4G disk...) Eee PC:

- Sound always on max volume. Mixer applet has no effect. Alsamixer fails with the following:
alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory

- No wireless. It just doesn't detect it... But the two related restricted drivers ARE gone now. Not that they worked, either.

- No cam. Cheese displays the "no cam detected" test screen, and the cam doesn't turn on.

I don't care about Bluetooth and I haven't tested the mic yet. Hope they work. Thanks for your hard work on making the kernel, though it only seems half effective for me...

Puckman was rebranded Pacman for exactly this reason.
