If you need to set up Chrome in a corporate environment, then you can use the.MSI installer for Chrome ("Chrome for Business"), which is available to download here.
I'm not exactly sure why this is being modded funny. Don't get me wrong - I love my highlighted syntax and quick access to reference materials online. I am going to be taking the (nation-wide) AP Computer Science exam on Tuesday. Half of the test consists of writing Java code out - in pencil - onto the exam booklet, and the only reference you're allowed to use is a ridiculously small subset of the standard API.
Thank you! Thank you all for coming! It is I, Steve Jobs, the Chief Imagination Officer of Apple, also known to many as Your Leader and Overlord of All Things Shiny, Desirable, and Expensive.
Today we're going to make some history together! So...welcome to Macworld. It was just a decade ago that I was up here, announcing that we were going to revolutionize the world--a huge endeavor, I admit. I said we were going to do it over the coming twelve years--we did it in seven years. We couldn't have done this alone; we did it with the help of a lot of folks: Our new colleagues in scientific agencies around the world, our devoted imagineers of more than just hardware and software, but of minds and vision. Thank you very much. Now as you know, our retail stores have for a while been selling half of our Apple iProducts to people who have never owned an Apple iProduct before. For this, I would like to thank our custom--err--loyal members of the Apple Family for spreading the gospel. Without you, we would still be just another average tech company based out of California. Instead, we are now one step closer to world domination through over-priced, beautifully designed, consumer electronics. Now everyone, please gaze upon me and yearn, yearn for the secrets that only I know! The rumor channels are full of speculation and I--your balding, black-turtleneck-endowed Leader--know the iTruth. Bow before me and grovel at my iFeet! (Mwahaha!)
Now please, before I continue, I would like to make sure that everyone present at this glorious ceremony is a true iBeliever. As a reminder, if you are not a true iBeliever you are not a member of our Apple Family, and as a result you will be cast out and sent into the Reality Distortion Field for re-education regarding our iProducts...
This is a day I've been looking forward to ever since I realized that I would never be able to become as rich or as famous as Bill Gates currently is. Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything. And one is very fortunate if they get to witness even a single one of these products in their lifetime. Apple has been very fortunate--I've been able to say myself that I've introduced a few of these into the world. In 1984, the Macintosh revolutionized the computer industry with its graphical interface stolen from Xerox Corporation. In 1998, the iMac built upon the success of our other computers that were still playing catch-up with Microsoft Windows. In 2001, the iPod changed the entire music industry (thus ensuring high sales for one of our planned iProducts, the iHearingAid). In 2007, the iPhone transfigured the mobile phone industry, forcing innovation upon all other lesser mobile phone manufacturers. And today, we are going to introduce an infinite number of products of this elite class.
Because infinity is such a large number, I am going to introduce just three of these iProducts today. The first one is a newly developed iPod. But not just any iPod as you will soon see. The second is a breakthrough communications device featuring not just audio and video, but even more as you will witness in just a minute. And the third device is an amazingly advanced supercomputer. An iPod. A communicator. A supercomputer.... Are you getting it? These are not infinitely many different devices--this is one all encompassing device--and we are calling it iEverything! Today Apple is going to reinvent the world!... And here it is. Can you see it? Do you know what it looks like? No! It's inside me...
Now let me talk about a category of things... The most "personal" computers are the ones we carry around with us all the time: our cell phone, our portable music player, our PDA, and for some people a two-way communicator. For many people, these are all separate devices, with distinct interfaces, discrete components, and different screens, keyboards, and batteries all to deal with. The iEverything aims to leapfrog this problem.
We're going to start with a revolutionary user interfa
I know that posting in the topic undoes your mod, but as you can see I was now marked "off-topic", which is something I wanted to avoid. Guess maybe I should just try to say something neutral or informative...
I actually have an Asus EEE 701. For a long while I was running Ubuntu 8.04 "netbook remix" on it, but I decided that I'd like a change of pace. I found a heavily nLite'd edition of Windows called "TinyXP" and installed that - it is very snappy even on the 600Mhz Celeron!

The real question here is why you were jogging in the nude -- or how you can have sex with all your clothes still on.
Also, I think I need to go jogging more often.
Prepare to be even less impressed and look at the V8 src, they only have codegen for ia32 and arm. Plenty of hardcoded platform specific (windows) guff in the browser codebase too.
This stuff might have been acceptable in 2003 but it's -DEPIC_FAIL for 2008.
There's build instructions for Mac OS X and Linux.
Of course, the browser doesn't actually run on *nix yet, but you can't say they're not trying.
Perhaps with a rise in telecommuting we can switch to getting paid for generating x amount of work done instead of x hours in the workplace.
And just how do you propose to measure the amount of work done? By number of emails sent? Lines of code written? Bugfixes patched? The problem is that there's just no accurate metric for this kind of thing.
It's actually not quiet so hard, the main command you use to get connected to an access point is iwconfig.
You use iwlist scan to search for wifi networks and connect using iwconfig INTERFACE essid WIFI-NAME key NETWORK-KEY. For example, an example would be iwconfig eth1 essid brianhome key 1654513490.
Once connected, you'd use ifconfig or dhclient to establish an IP address. Continuing from the previous example, you would use dhclient eth1 for DHCP.
One FUNDAMENTAL problem with this, isn't the point of a captcha to descramble the letters to get access? If contents of the image shown is unknown, then doesn't that defeat the point entirely?
Actually, you are correct that it won't work if the *entire image* is unknown. But with reCAPTCHA it is not. You see, reCAPTCHA works by showing two words, one of which is known and the other that is unknown. When the user gets the known word correct, it is assumed that the unknown word is atleast partially correct. This both validates the captcha and allows them to build their database of scanned "known" words. Of course, to prevent database poisoning, the "unknown" words are still given many times, in order to "cross reference" and reduce the chance human error.
Because you said a netinstall is out of the question, might I suggest to first install a core CLI-only system? For example, these Debian ISOs are only 180MB in size and contain enough to get yourself up and running. From there you have a full Debian system at your disposal - you can configure your 802.11 and WPA2 settings and pull down KDE via apt-get as needed.
Coming out of lurk mode... I'm only sixteen and I have high aspirations of becoming a software developer (engineer?) when I get older. I was hoping that TFA (yes, I read it) would be able to give me some insight as to what I can do to make myself into a "better" programmer, but I was rather disappointed in the lack of actual good tips.
I've been playing around with computers since I was ten or so, and right now I am trying to learn a little bit of everything. I've played around with the innards of Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. I have a basic understanding of how hardware and software work. I can write simple programs and shell scripts. I've written web applications on top of PHP and MySQL (and XHTML/CSS of course). And I try to keep up with the latest in tech news though/. and the like. I don't really have any thing that I would consider "official experience", since I'm almost totally self-taught. Everything I code seems rather insignificant or hackish to me, am usually I'm unsure about whether or not I'm coding something the "proper way".
My high school offers a "college level" AP computer science class that is taught in Java, however I'm not able to take it due to the lack of students registering for it. Because of this, I decided to try to teach myself a real-world OO language. I picked Python after doing some reacher online and coming across the book 'Dive into Python'.
Since it seems that everyone else on Slashdot seems to be more intelligent than I am, I would appreciate any advice you can give me. What can/should I do from here? How do I actually *become* a better programmer? It would be nice to go to college with a computer science major already knowing a handful about programming.
Thank you:)
PS. The 'fortune' of the moment right now is: "You are an engineer". How appropriate.

The VGA port is even more stupid, IMHO.
That analog port is invaluable for a traveling businessman that needs to hook up their netbook to a VGA projector to make a presentation.
