Internet browser that quadruples surf speed

There are three things you should never talk down. The first two are a persons taste in music, the other is what kids can achieve. And the third is???

All I can say is "yeah, right". A 16-year-old kid writes 780,000* lines of code in 18 months (1500 lines of code per day - or 3 lines per minute x 8 hours x 540 days - plus design, integration, debugging, rewriting any poor implementations of a vastly superior algorithm than anyone has ever thought of), creates a web browser that works 4 - no 6 - times faster (depending on which part of the story you believe), presumably he is going to school at the same time, and learning how to create a web browser at the same time. But, there's more: he incorporated every media player, a DVD player, a language translator, a talking animated figure, and it reads webpages for the blind. (Oh yeah: he says he's been programming since 12 - in other words, he only had roughly two years of experience when he started this project.) He said he was still in a state of shock as he had not expected to win (Wow. Must be a rough competition if he didn't expect to win.) * Or 1.5 million lines of code, depending on which story is right. Maybe he's Bill Sergio's clone. http://newsobserver.com/24hour/technology/story/712974p-5244591c.html[^] http://www.fhs.ie/newsroom_latest.asp?id=241[^] http://www.online.ie/business/latest/viewer.adp?article=1924781[^] The only possible method I can think of to do this would be to use a spider to pre-fetch web links, then he bundled it with the MS IE control and some plug-ins. Then, used shifty code count numbers (like adding the code counts of all components - which he didn't write). ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion
Maybe he's Bill Sergio's clone. Speaking of cloning... I can't believe the press those nutso people in Canada have gotten. Of course their not going to give access to DNA material. Just like, of course we'll never hear anything more about this browser. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

The line I liked best was "at 7 times normal speed the program crashes". WTF? Of course, I wonder why no one has implemented a server on a T3 or something which compresses all the HTML and other ASCII text stuff, and you use a proprietary browser to retrieve and decompress the web sites that the server fetches and compresses for you. If you strip out the graphic components or cache them... Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Looks like I have comepetition (i'm 16 btw.). I just read it and I can't express my reaction to it without it becoming soap box material, besides WTF!! WTF!! WTF!! I have a connection (a friend that works for the news and observer, and I haven't been mentioned..). I think that using the age is a crutch for people... I mean WTF a high schooler getting national attention because he wrote a search engine toolbar for IE big deal... I have been working and still am on 404Browser. I have NEVER used my age to boost the market appeal for my web browser. But it pisses me off to see that he has done that... and I have a contact with Jon Cox (Tech writer N&O) (brother's friend) and also I have informed the Tech person at WRAL (local tech tv person) (without mentioning my age).

There are three things you should never talk down. The first two are a persons taste in music, the other is what kids can achieve. I'll believe it when I see it, but this appears to be a professionally run competition which means it should have qualified judges.

from the article: Adnan says a six-fold increase is about the maximum practical boost. "At seven times it actually crashes so I have limited it to six." :wtf: sounds like "modern redneck science"

Every line of code is a liability - Taka MuraokaHTTP already includes extensions for gzipping content supported by most, if not all, browsers, though most sites have this feature turn off due to the processor overhead on a busy server. But if you have a largly text only site on the end of a slow link it can make a world of difference. That brings me to another thing, the bulk of downloads for most sites has to be graphics in highly compressed JPG, how do you speed that up, you can't. Also if he has writen a client how can that speed up surfing when the servers are the ones sending the data? And another thing, why do we need more propriety protocols/markup just when I though that that everyone was getting their act together and things just work. All sounds like a steaming pile of **** to me. Stephen
