Performance may crawl to a standstill but ext3 with full journaling of data not just meta-data should make crash-recovery nearly bulletproof.
Yeah, I never really understood what's wrong with ext3. I always thought these non-default/specialist filesystems (when used on home systems) were only for the Gentoo crowd.
This is a violation of the 1st amendment, and a sign that the US constitution is dead and owned by the megacorporate entities which are enslaving our minds.
First it's URLs, then it's your innermost thoughts.

Some sites, like Facebook, do just this. But there's another Firefox plugin called Platypus, which uses Greasemonkey, which lets you just snip out any block of HTML from a page, and that same block will get snipped out from then on.
Using AdBlock and Platypus together I've never come across a web page ad I can't get rid of.

This little guy right here is going to be Chrome's biggest problem, I think. An adblocker is something which I think is a major draw to Firefox, but how on earth can Google permit an Adblocker in their browser, when ads are their only (real) source of revenue?
Personally I just hope Firefox learns from Chrome, incorporates gears and borrows from the process isolation ideas, and most of all takes V8, so we don't have our browser controlled by the same people giving us ads.
Also I think one opinion we haven't heard anything from yet, but which we will hear a lot from in the future, is the foaming-at-the-mouth privacy activist.
These guys went paranoid when Google said they'd manage your e-mails, now they're trying to manage all your web interactions.

As far as guides to a new piece of software goes it was good. It was more entertaining than the same data in an article format.
But this depends on whether reading about a new browser is entertaining to you. If not I wonder why you read/. at all?
It all comes down to Google's stated goal: To index and make available all the worlds information.
The less friendly side of their stated goal, which they don't state as explicitly, is that all the worlds information should be available only through them
Disclaimer; it's beta, and I've been using it for only ~20 minutes.
First off it installed fine, it's attractive, it has some good ideas. I have to say though it uses more memory, and is slower, doing a side-by-side comparison with Firefox. Using it to view a youtube video while running a processing.js script, and scrolling, seemed to show Firefox running much faster and with fewer interruptions than Chrome.
Also one thing that'll bug Chrome users is that when you click on a tab, if you click&drag just a tiny bit the tab breaks off into a new window, and you have to drag it back into the window it was previously in.
I think this has promise, and it's a very welcome addition, but it's not gonna top Firefox from day 1.
In the comic it said that they hope V8 will be used in other projects, and you can certainly see how it'd be in their interests. I think this is great, and so out of the blue. This is the first major new browser since Firefox (which arguably wasn't a new browser at all), and it sounds really developer oriented too.
Their main problem is that Firefox will be so hard to top, but even if it doesn't V8 could still prove to be really useful, if it's as good as they make out. A nice, portable JavaScript engine? Yesssss!
I don't know if "idiots" is fair.. These people are trying to donate to charity and are being taken advantage of; to some people it'd probably be pretty surprising that they need to watch out for this sort of thing.
Right to free speech doesn't mean forcing businesses to do things which aren't profitable. If I have some controversial show I want aired on Discovery do I have a "right" to have it aired, even if Discovery will lose out? Of course not.
It kind of dilutes the right of free speech when it is used where it doesn't apply.
The BBC is excellent in this regard, by the way. If you read the news there it's crystal clear the government (nor the BBC higher ups) have any power over them. Even internal BBC scandals like Blue-Peter faking phone-in competitions are dutifully reported on.
You'll feel sick reading/watching Fox, or even CNN etc, after reading/watching BBC.
Not really a freedom of speech thing; it's up to Discovery channel what it airs. As long as he can post his opinion on YouTube that's all that matters; no use martyring his show because Discovery bend to the people who pay them (advertisers).
As I understand it they didn't really find anything out, they were just in the preliminary R&D stages, trying to talk to people in the know.
It's not like they're covering up something big, they just want to ban talk about it altogether.
Slashdot Mirror
Most sites which run ads would pay well over $40 just to run a story on /. , it is a truly pitiful prize.
I don't see why a rendering engine can't have security vulnerabilities, just like any other software which processes input from an untrusted source.
There's a second page?!
T- Hello, I'm a Toyota. [Looks cool]
H- And I'm a Honda. [Doesn't]
T- Boy, you sure do suck Honda.
H- Yep, I sure do!

Computer/software TV ads always suck. Especially the dumbed-down ones. Remember the "rebate" ad starring Bill Cosby?
