Firefox Vs. Mozilla

Traduction: [ Google | Babelfish ]

Catégories : [ Informatique ]

I installed yesterday Firefox 2.0.0 on my desktop computer, which is a silent, low consumption computer based on a Via C3 processor (1GHz, 256 MB RAM). Guess what? When scrolling down a long page (the main page of this blog), Firefox was slower than Mozilla 1.7.5 which I have used for years. Mozilla was scrolling down more or less smoothly, using up to 70% of the CPU time, whereas Firefox was not smooth at all, using 100% of the CPU most of the time. Firefox maybe an advanced browser, but definitely not a lightweight one whatever some people may claim. I think I'll stick to plain old Mozilla for still some time.

Nerd Score

I found a nerd test on Tinou's blog, so of course, I had to take it. Looks like I'm quite a nerd…

I am nerdier than 93% of all people.

Beaten by myself from one year and a half ago. And I fear I might do a better score nowadays: http://www.hivernal.org/blog/index.php?op=comments&id=1129991598

Yes, but *I* didn't cheat! (is it really a good thing to get this high without cheating?)

OK, tried again

Without cheating (it was nonetheless tempting to do so for certain questions) : 95 (thus still nerd god).

Damn, they had a geek test on the same page, so of course, I had to take it too.

My computer geek score is greater than 100% of all people in the world

Dirty Things to do in Perl

Traduction: [ Google | Babelfish ]

Catégories : [ Informatique ]

I just wanted to rename a bunch of files so that the new names are numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4… I could have written a short script doing that, but I wanted to see if rename was able to do it. Well, this works:

rename 's/.*/sprintf "Image-%02d.png", ++$main::i/e' *.png

(The original story is much worse: I wrote main::$i which of course did not work, so I took a look at the rename script, and noticed that I could use a variable which is already defined. I chose $verbose, which is initialized to 0 normally, but to 1 when the -n option is in use, hence the need to write ++$verbose when used with -n or -v and $verbose++ otherwise. Then I wrote this story about it, and only after that I noticed my mistake…)
