you make the system robust to mistakes
Oddly enough, this is what I am talking about, so sure a tab just crashed and the rest of the tabs don't crash anymore. But is that enough? When I mean not crashing I am talking about the tab dying and all memory lost. Provisions could be made so that when this happens you can keep a frozen version of the page, and with some luck the ability to still see the text box you 've been writing a long message in and perhaps be able to copy the text somewhere so you can use it later...
Just saying, that though this tab isolation deal brings benefits and is great as a last resort protection, preventing things from crashing should remain the top priority, of course it is difficult and I wouldn't demand it to be able to survive plugins, but specially if you are on google's web aplication utopia even if a tab's crash didn't stop the other ones from working it could still ruin your day if you were doing important stuff on that tab.
It wasn't really offtopic either, was it? Just wanted to state that a first post can truly be redundant, imagine a first post that simply repeated the summary all over again...

Is Chrome open source though? My impression is that google is actually taking the approach of having a proprietary , official, version + the development code base called 'chronium' that goog will make sure users never use and comes with so many funny extras like the unique id stuff.
Chrome is quite useless for me right now, as there is no Linux windows, and the things you mentioned don't really sound as if they are worth booting windows.
The only useful thing of those you mentioned would be the incognito mode but I can do that with firefox using some command line stuff, the rest is... Well, If I wanted responsiveness, I am just ok with ff3 in this computer, the alleged security bonus from process separation seems a little irrelevant when considering I won't have a whitelist for javascript, so indeed it won't be possible to block doubleclick and google-analytics in Chrome, unlike the firefox+noscript combination I am already using...
Whatever Fitt's law is, I take it that's irrelevant as heck?

Awww, did the liddle Firefox fanboy get his feelings hurt?
You seem to be more on the defensive, and do sound more heart broken and mad than the other people, perhaps you just noticed wishful thinking is not a good replacement for reality?
Someone post another Firefox damage control article
You are blaming these on firefox, while after reading the articles and checking out the authors I am starting to think the source is redmond.

what? You mean you have to know more than opening task manager before doing memory benchmarks? *shock*.
Really, who is shocked that people decided to try it after so many hype?, I'd say that the first week's stats are not going to be really that relevant, launch day really is just that...
All rightly, I am on Linux so I can't download it, why can't anyone post a whole copy of the 'EULA' instead of this out-of-context excerpt (Actually the author of the 'article' seems to be very biased based on all the articles published there, hope not to see a link to that person again here) When I find links to google they definitely don't mention this at all in the ToS or in the privacy policy. So, is this true at all?
Certainly, but all they added to the with the expansions seemed quite well planned, even the history, in fact with warcraft III. I am just saying that instead of waiting a year and release the game they planned to make, they release a version without all the planned features, and then, release the 'expansion', this is a business model in which they can charge 50% more and begin getting money faster - not saying it is a bad thing,
I meant that the 'don't release incomplete games' stuff would kill things that apparently work very well, you seem to agree that this method works and keeps players happy. I for one enjoy waiting for the same game twice.
Gamers shall have the right to demand that games be released in a finished state.
Hmnn... This would kill blizzard's bussiness model of releasing a half-complete game while they finish it and finally release the completed work as an expansion.
However the GPL does not forbid commercial usage of code, and thiking it does and posting about how it does so in web boards is just prima facie lameness .
Yep, It's probably only you who thinks like that, most likely because you are utterly wrong. Did you bother reading the licenses at all? The conclussion you took makes no sense.
these licences are just a way of developers saying "I want my slice of the pie also"
having to pay the author for commercial use or whatever
No free software license has that clause, it breaks the def of free software.
Remember kids, try getting informed before posting stuff in the interweb.
I wonder if this would affect my pirated copy of windows which basically runs inside a virtual machine that gives it no internet access whatsoever (too much responsibility for windows)...
Nevermind the black background, that water mark seems more annoying, what is not specified in the article is whether this watermark will be visible even when there is a maximized window.
My brother is a windows user, however when MSN decided not to work unless you upgrade it, and that stuff could require WGA, he just... switched to pidgin, I wonder if MS is underestimating users, they may not be switching to Linux, but they will slowly simply stop using their stuff. If they make IE8 require WGA, that just means more firefox/safari/opera users, WGA is slowly affecting their market share, I personally hope they only notice this when it is too late.
From your argument, I am understanding that it not only did not stop people from putting images online it even allowed those with commercial images to notice that DRM wasn't even needed.
If W3C doesn't respond to this with a good nice "fuck off"... Well, I don't really think there's another possible scenario in this case, really. W3C agreeing with DRM, which is against just about everything they have been advocating regarding how the web should work is just non-sense... I think MS was probably intending to send this to ECMA or some other dummy standards body.
So, even though Chavez is... well, Chavez, I think your emails are... well, private. I just don't get why would wikileaks do this. Think of this : They will first sell Chavez' email then what would stop them to sell yours? Perhaps you are just a geek now, but who knows where life is going to place you later?
Even if it was all right to publicize someone's email, it would still really go against' Wikileaks' ways to actually sell it, this makes no sense.
Ever since cuil was up, we get one of these random [attack-google!] stories every once in a while, I guess it is a coincidence, but could we try one with foundation later? I mean, "a guy deserts google => google lsot its mojo" err...
Yeah I agree, it would just force the media not to give it much attention...
Well, I was just saying, people and artists are getting very good at complaining about the Tibet situation, which is a good thing and all, but some of them are also very good at looking away when the abuses are done by their own country.

So, regarding the whole "a tab crashing will no longer crash all other tabs" deal, how about we instead made it so no tab actually crashed?
