The Future of Google Chrome
TRNick writes "Lars Bak, who heads up development of Google Chrome's cornerstone javascript engine, talks about why Google is so focused on in-browser javascript performance, the role Chrome has played in driving up javascript performance in other browsers, and why it's taking so long to introduce support for third-party extensions. 'The web is becoming an integral part of the computer and the basic distinction between the OS and the browser doesn't matter very much any more,' he says."
Being uninstalled?
it sounds really strange and illogical if you are used to US-English
Yeah, the normal and logical may seem that way if you're used to something so strange and illogical as US English - putting 'z' in almost every word, and I mean, MM/DD/YYYY? come on!
Just kidding... we love how you've butchere^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hembraced our language :)
And I'm sure that the germans love how you've butchered theirs!
We embraced during the colonial period. After the revolution we extended(and had Noah Webster ram our extensions through a standards body to give them an air of legitimacy).
Don't worry, nothing bad could possibly happen next.
We're gonna tax your coffee, you freeloaders!
incidentally, you may be unaware of the distinction made in the UK between pants and trousers, i.e. that pants are what one wears under trousers.

Yeah we could have a platform independent language that compiles efficiently into a type of code easily run by virtual machines.
Not sure about the name Javascript though, think it sounds a bit complex and we need to distinguish it from the browser only one. Lets just call it Java

This is why Superman dresses as he does. He landed in America, and was told to wear his pants on the outside.
"incidentally, you may be unaware of the distinction made in the UK between pants and trousers, i.e. that pants are what one wears under trousers."
So what the hell are under-pants in the UK then? Do they go under your pants?
You guys wear 3 layers of pant?
Do you wear a pair of pants or more? So confusing.
All I know is if you wear pants under your trousers and that's all... well then you aren't wearing underwear and that's nasty.
You mean during the colonial fullstop?

How many people even view Slashdot? I only ask because I don't know of many. Does it even exist? I asked the baby sitter and she said no. Also, what are these personal computer things? My company only lets us use winterms. Obviously, this whole PC fad is not ready for any real use since my job gets by just fine without them and my job is the determining factor for anything needing to exist.
Still, if you write "february 26th"? I have to ask - 26th of what?
Uhh... February. You know, like "day 42 - George and I are still stranded on this desert island, and each day, he looks tastier and tastier..." That isn't too terribly confusing for you, is it? :)
can't we have some type of integration once in a while?
No. You should read your internets by sending email to a daemon on a different box that downloads the pages and sends them to you as text files, the way Stallman intended things to be.
