ReactOS

Alsalaam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh

On Jan-03-2006 I was searching for mmm something that i don't remember when suddenly I found myself on front of one of source-forge projects, which is called ReactOS, as it was written, it's a ground-up implementation for Microsoft Windows XP Compatible OS...

Any windows-binary should run quite well on it... it's gr8 to have Windows between ur hands...

Why am i posting it now.. cuz i didn't open it till few minutes ago, when my to-do list reminded me to do so :D...

Anyway, it doesn't have a good GUI, but it's enough to start playing around... ISA i'll check the code later after the exams (or when my to-do list reminds me again ;) )

C u after making my own OS :huh...

Windows7 adds Math Input Panel

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh… I was reading a windows team post about Input Panels improvements in Windows7 [ here ]. When at the end I saw a very interesting –intuitive if you wish- new thing… which is, as you guessed, the Math Input Panel… Yes, that crappy font is mine… I “drew” that by mouse as I don’t have a tablet pen/pc. You can then paste it directly into word and it’ll recognize it as an editable equation… During my tests, the output panel (the top part) hanged, but I liked that the drawing panel was still responsive and I could still write/erase… till the top one started to respond again… One other thing to know, after you click Insert (that button down there) it copies the equation in MathML [ Wikipedia link ] format.. which is a standard way of representing equations and hence any application that recognizes the format can insert it not as an image but as a nice editable equation… If you think it recognized something wrong, you can click “Sele...

Question Google Chrome Process Isolation Model..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh Google once published this comics book about Google chrome (their Open Source Web Browser) I've linked to one page that I'm concerning about for now... Page 4, Google Chrome Comics Book It explains that Chrome will have separate process per tab, away from the benefits/concerns about this... I was accidently checking chrome's task manager (Shift + Esc) and found something that -apparently- violates this rule... As you see, tab1 process has actually spanned 3 tabs... which is a similar behavior to what IE8 does... I'm not quite sure why this happens in Chrome... but it's just a question to ask...
