those ticking seconds
Shock discovery, Firefox can consume a lot of CPU, even when not doing very much. Mine was being a touch greedy and worse, the entire machine would judder to a halt at times for no apparent reason so enough was enough.
So, installed NoScript. And it all went away. The only major irritant is having to whitelist so many sites and allow them to execute JavaScript again but at least I have my machine back to normal. And Firefox even leaks less memory now which is a definite bonus.
And yes, more cricket… Bob Woolmer killed by snake venom? Honestly, these professional hitmen these days have no class. What happened to snipers from rooftops or a silenced pistol? It’s all taken a very regrettable and eastern mystic turn - perhaps an indication that nobody involved in the investigation has a clue. The words flashlight, ass, map, directions and both hands come to mind.
Then again, this story about the snake toxin was revealed by the Daily Mail. *curls lip in disdain*. There could be a story about aliens killing Woolmer tomorrow, for all we know. More interestingly, the Woolmer story has gotten less and less attention as the tournament progressed.
And er. not entirely out of place - SuicideFood. Vegetarians need not apply.

I only remember the death spell (avada something that rhymes with abracadabra)
