I don't know it from experience either, but, from what I've read, I think I can clear things a bit.
That answer on the FAQ seems outdated, and Gmail actually has three different modes: standard mode with chat ("Gmail+talk", though it actually includes a bit more functionality than just the instant messenger), standard mode without chat (the one that was used before chat integration got rolled in), and simple HTML mode.
Firefox and IE are fully supported in standard mode. Opera automatically falls back to standard w/o chat, though some users reported it works fairly well in chat mode when you pretend to be a Mozilla-based user-agent.
The website you checked is Google's developer center (which has been around for a much longer time), not necessarily just OSS, and those featured projects are third-party projects using Google APIs, not related to the project hosting.
I guess one idea would be, for example, to offer an I'm-feeling-lucky URL that points to your malware binary. Since the URL points to Google, it would seem safe for the non-tech-savvy.
But as I understood it, the binary search is not available in the common search (only through APIs), so I guess this isn't really a problem. And if it were, Google could disable automatic redirection to executables.
The idea is neat, but it does not work so well in practice. He argues tabs have a single semantic meaning, but they'd actually have at least two distinct meanings:
Align this part of the line as a column — the heart of his proposal.
Push this line to the right — that's what normally happens when you use tabs on the beginning of a line on his demo;
Problem is: it's not always that easy to guess which behavior is the desired without either forcing the programmer to adhere to some new rules involving extra whitespace, or dropping the desired indenting completely.
For instance, the following examples don't work on his editor: (there's a "<TAB>" in there because I couldn't manage to make more than one consecutive space appear in that place)
public void DrawImage(Image image, Rectangle destRect, int srcX, int srcY,
int srcWidth, int srcHeight, GraphicsUnit srcUnit,
ImageAttributes imageAttrs, DrawImageAbort callback,
IntPtr callbackData);
if (x) {<TAB>/* security check */
code; }

Firefox (on a development branch) passing the Acid2 test
If you're curious about the reflow branch: it's still not ready for testing, although hopefully it will be in a few weeks (once form controls can be turned on again and the table code gets a bit more work).
You:
Firefox 1.5.0.4 on MacOS X does not pass the acid test.
Nobody seems to have linked it yet; so here it is.
NOTE: this comparison is solely for humor purposes, relying more on colors and other visual similarities than actual design; its intention is not to accuse either company.
This is a real doubt I have: the $500 version does not include Wi-Fi connectivity. Does that mean then that it won't be able to communicate with the PSP?
I don't mind the HDMI connector, 20 GB might be enough for a good time, and I couldn't care less about the shiny logo. But I'm not sure if I won't miss Wi-Fi and memory card reader (for backwards compatibility; I hope it at least saves PS2 card info on the HD).
Actually, to me it illustrates the exact opposite.
When I saw those comparisons, the first thing I noted was how the Smash Bros. Melee graphics (which when released looked simply perfect to me, as you barely notice any polygons on screen) lacked textures. His point was that the Gamecube was strong in textures, but weak in polygons, while SSBM features enough polygons to look smooth in play but uses relatively few textures, relying more on clean surfaces.
Google Video does not require you to download anything (except for possibly a Flash plugin, of course) to watch the videos. The Google Video Player is only needed in case you wish to download the video for offline view.

So you just admitted there's someone in cahoots with the phone number guy, eh? I KNEW IT!
Quite curious how the initials of the article turned out to be :)
Well, that has only been tested on giant enemy crabs. These ones are nano(sensor) good-doer crabs, so we're safe for now.
I know this will hardly solve all your problems, but IE Tab is known to leak memory.
That's quite sad; it is a rather useful extension.
You're confusing things up.
The website you checked is Google's developer center (which has been around for a much longer time), not necessarily just OSS, and those featured projects are third-party projects using Google APIs, not related to the project hosting.
The actual open-source hosting is at http://code.google.com/hosting/.
Based on their annual sales, I'm pretty sure they managed to make the 12th step "Profit".
Should've hit Preview...
That reminds me of about a decade ago, when we were overwhelmed by V3 Redirect Services' domains surf.to, come.to, listen.to, fly.to...
I guess it's because they wanted to make it sound like a sentence: computadora.de/miguel in Spanish is, literally, computer.of/miguel.

Well, I guess Google wouldn't return raw binary excerpts in an HTML results page in the first place.
But as I understood it, the binary search is not available in the common search (only through APIs), so I guess this isn't really a problem. And if it were, Google could disable automatic redirection to executables.
Would that be some kind of reproduction through whitespace?

Man, I wish I had wireless floating hands like that.

Fortunately we have COBOL.
