Full-page zoom and auto-scroll? Great. Now I can use Chrome like I use Safari on my iPhone. Of course scaling should scale the whole page, not just the text. It shouldn't be that hard. An old technology like PDF (10 years old) knows that.
Except PDF is vectorized (to a certain extent). Most fonts are also vectorized, but the vast majority of images you find on web pages are going to be raster images, not vector-based. This makes scaling up pretty hard without jaggies.
The exception, of course, being SVG images and some other formats. As far as I'm aware, SVG is the only vector graphics format supported by any of the mainstream browsers without a plugin.

For instance, my GF was quite capable of running Ubuntu and doing just about all her work and fun on it. Unfortunately, she requires Macromedia Freehand which doesn't work acceptably under Wine.
A little off-topic but, has your GF tried CrossOver Professional? All of Adobe CS2 works fine for me on Ubuntu. However, I don't believe that includes FreeHand, as I believe that was dropped for Illustrator when Adobe took over.
Whenever I did bootstrap builds on Gentoo, I'd always boot every other machine that was setup for dual-boot in the house to help with the compiling.
Never had a problem, and it exponentially reduced the compile/link time.

so many mod-worthy posts, and no mod points. sigh.
If I had mod points, they'd be yours.
WTF? Why is this modded Troll? Go ahead and mod me Troll for this, I'm just speaking up because I see NOTHING trollish about this.

i know what i'm spending part of my paycheck on tomorrow.
Indeed. This is 2008, not 1958.
Funny, open marriages are "sinful", yet it's okay to sleep with other women and have kids with them in the Old Testament.
Ugh. People should read what they're thumping.

Don't forget the iPhone / iPod Touch version...
I couldn't agree more. Best money I've spent on gaming all year.
It was free for me, too. Strange.
Since you're apparently reading this - shoot me an email. I'd like to discuss if this could work with Jython.
I'm thinking using a single Honkin' Big Iron instead of a farm for a massive-use service.

So what you're saying is, one day "soon", we'll just cease to exist as all space-time and physics cease to function?

Is it sad that I've installed gvim on my workstation? They're forcing me to use XP.
Wait...
Both.
If SM Galaxy isn't on the top of your list, move it up there. GH3 is awesome, but SM Galaxy has got to be the best Mario game ever.
I hate most Mario games, but this one has renewed my faith in the money-making machine that he is.
