Does anyone honestly think Bill would take a pay cut to be the CTO? What I'm saying is.. would he have that much free time to take up a role like this and not disrupt other projects/duties/professional responsibilities he's currently doing, whatever those might be?
Isn't it time we had someone in charge of evaluating new technologies who actually KNOWS how computers work, rather than having to refer to the opinions of out of touch people who still struggle with their VCR flashing 12:00 over and over since 1986?
CrossOver Chromium is exactly what you're looking for. It's not officially by Google, but ported by CodeWeavers, the WINE folks.
Before anyone gets their hopes up, let's reprint something from the FAQ re: crossover chromium
Q. Should I run CrossOver Chromium as my main browser? A. Absolutely not! This is just a proof of concept, for fun, and to showcase what Wine can do. Chromium itself is just beginning. As the Chromium project progresses, they will be providing more compelling support for Mac OS and Linux, particularly with process security and memory management. Those future versions from Chromium will be better suited for daily use than this version.
Now perhaps you had some luck with it, but I found it to be little more than a decent proof of concept. The UI on Fedora 8 was pants, the option/settings pane was useless, and it couldn't deal with the Squid proxy I'm sitting behind.
Just sayin'.
Annoying behaviour by web developers who think no one could possible want to, god forbid, leave their site in favor of another site.
There are times when it can be appropriate. When it's absolutely needed however (read: the boss wants it that way) I'll use a mini icon to give a visual cue that it opens in a new window.
I was under the impression that neither candidate has *defined* what they mean by NN. If either has defined it well and I've missed it, let me know. Until then, meh.
To be perfectly honest, NN is on my top 6 list of issues I consider when selecting the candidate to vote for. I'm not saying it's my first or only factor/issue, but it's up there. So to answer your question... yes, and no.
Okay guys, what do you expect from a week-long contest for an Xbox? The next killer web browser?
From TFA
The grand prize on offer includes airfare to Las Vegas, accommodation at the Venetian and tickets to the MIX09 Developer Conference in March next year, along with Visual Studio 2008, an Xbox 360 Elite console pack and a Samsung Omnia mobile phone.
After my initial bafflement at the very notion MI6 was choosing Facebook to run recruitment ads, I see in the 2nd FA they also run recruit ads via radio and newspaper. I suppose I shouldn't be shocked, considering that even if they are more open than they have been historically along these lines, doesn't mean that the process of hiring is less stringent, or that they take undue risks during the hiring procedures. We know MI6 is there, so why not cast a wider net and get more potential hires?
One thing I've seen people fall into is the whole "Im leaving exactly at 5" thing. Now when you've got something that really needs to get done, do not be afraid to sink a little more time to get things to a natural break point before you leave the office. Makes it easier, for you, to walk in the next morning and start in a clean way. It also sends a message to the boss object and the new coworker *pool that you actually give a fsck about what you do.

Oddly enough, TFA says nothing about the site being cleaned up.
is itself a stupid trick. Emacs sucks too. Please welcome you to 21 century - use textedit!
No thank you. edlin works just great for me.
Does this mean that anyone who uses EMACS will be considered a terrorist and threat to national security?
Absolutely not. Please continue to enjoy use of emacs.

People still have VCRs?
Complaining about trains not running on time and management is FAR different than making the trains run on time and BEING management.
What? No car analogy?
Thank you everyone, I'll be here all night.

I have to say a word of agreement here; GWT blows the pants off of anything else I can find
Forgive my ignorance here, but why is Google using jQuery in their Google Code site if they could have used GWT?
Steal this post.
Going to the official Firefox site and searching for "fennec" matched nothing. Yea! With it being so easy to get, I'll be trying it "real soon now".

Made worse by UK statute giving the police the authority to order the disclosure of encryption keys or the decryption of encrypted data.
Yay fifth amendment and subsequent interpretations equating disclosing cipher keys with self-incrimination!

I'm left wondering whether the submitter thinks this is impressively small or impressively large.
I'm leaning towards "impressively small".

Thanks. Looks like a good lead or two.

Their web server must be a cell phone.
Or a business card.

I'm not sure I understand the physics as explained in TFA. Can anyone provide a car analogy?

the days when the internet was "stateless" and CGI's where in C? :)
HTTP isn't a stateless protocol anymore? When did this happen?
