Graham 2-Sep-2008 [3103x2] | www |
not much good at the post office! | |
shadwolf 2-Sep-2008 [3105x2] | graham ddyou saw the comics about google chrome ? we should do somthing like that to present the tech inside rebol and discuss why CArl should this tech instead of others |
graham if you want to fix monitors lcd hum .... you need to graduate in micro electronic hahahaahhahaha | |
Graham 2-Sep-2008 [3107] | I've only got 2 dead LCD monitors :) |
shadwolf 2-Sep-2008 [3108] | dead ??? well radio shark is your friend |
Graham 2-Sep-2008 [3109] | They're my baby monitors ! |
shadwolf 2-Sep-2008 [3110] | if they sudently stoped turning on that means one of the condensors is dead in general a dead condensor have a rounded top instead of a flat top so first thing is to identify what is or are the condensors that is dead then you take in note the reference V/µF you go to the radio shark and you buy the same one |
Graham 2-Sep-2008 [3111] | mine turn on .. just no picture |
shadwolf 2-Sep-2008 [3112] | then you remove the dead condensor and you replace it by the one and Voila |
Graham 2-Sep-2008 [3113] | oh well, I have plenty of spare LCD monitors. |
shadwolf 2-Sep-2008 [3114] | no picture ???? hum really if you point a strong light source to it does it show you the screen content ? |
Graham 2-Sep-2008 [3115] | don't think so. |
shadwolf 2-Sep-2008 [3116] | lcd monitors use a neon like lamp to enligh the background of the LCD matrix and some time that neon tube lamp dies it can be changed easyly |
Graham 2-Sep-2008 [3117x2] | I think mine are 12 inch monitors |
I use them on servers | |
shadwolf 2-Sep-2008 [3119x6] | screen turning on without showing image is the most annoying thing since it ca comme from lot of diferent sources |
it can be the transitors it can be too a freaking little electric wire that cuts itself because of over heat | |
thiner is the cable less resistant it will be to eat | |
heat ... | |
like my electronic professor would say always check first the more anoying possibility then goes to the easiest | |
does someone have the like to download chrome ? | |
Anton 2-Sep-2008 [3125] | Good news, shadwolf ! You fixed your LCD monitor. And I suppose "condensor" translates to "capacitor" in English... |
shadwolf 2-Sep-2008 [3126] | ... well that's the electrinic device to stabilise electric signal it store electricy when there is more than expected electricity and deliver the stored electricy when the electric singal if weaker to maintain a stable level |
Anton 2-Sep-2008 [3127] | Aha, wikipedia says a "condensor" is an "Early description of a capacitor". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historic_technological_nomenclature |
shadwolf 2-Sep-2008 [3128] | well in french that condensateur :P |
Anton 2-Sep-2008 [3129] | I wondered what else would be measured in µF... :) |
shadwolf 2-Sep-2008 [3130x4] | k so that was the capacitor who was defective and that's a pity to have to trash a 1 year old lcd monitor only because they didn't put 10 more cents to an electric device that in best quality cost 0.60 cts ... |
and now that the defective condensor is replaced the lcd onitor works great ^^ | |
google chrome any link ? | |
to donload it ? | |
Henrik 2-Sep-2008 [3134] | Is it out yet? |
shadwolf 2-Sep-2008 [3135x3] | they say today |
but i don't know the hour they plan to release ut | |
it | |
ICarii 2-Sep-2008 [3138] | http://www.google.com/chrome |
amacleod 2-Sep-2008 [3139] | Its fast... I like it. |
Sunanda 2-Sep-2008 [3140] | Looks good....But does not seem to run the REBOL plugin, eg: http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/run-plugin.r?script-name=periodictable.r |
amacleod 2-Sep-2008 [3141] | Plug in seems to install but apps do not run... |
Pekr 2-Sep-2008 [3142x3] | Maybe Google is fearing REBOL power, so they do abandon it :-)) |
Well, we can conclude - last year in R3 development brought us - delays, delays, delays, modules shift, delays, dealys, delays, Unicode implementation, incomplete, delays, delays, delays, VID 3.4 shift ... and ... nothing more ... | |
At Google, we have a saying: “launch early and iterate.” - maybe we have someone to learn from ... | |
Graham 2-Sep-2008 [3145] | Seems faster than FF 3 |
amacleod 2-Sep-2008 [3146] | It is much faster than ie or ff3. |
Graham 2-Sep-2008 [3147] | Pekr, they qualify that by saying they release often to internal staff. |
Pekr 2-Sep-2008 [3148x2] | Graham - we are internal staff :-) |
as for web browser - is there anything to wonder about? It is simply webkit (khtml) rendering engine, with new implementation of JS, isn't it? | |
Henrik 2-Sep-2008 [3150] | webkit is generally much faster than Gecko. |
Pekr 2-Sep-2008 [3151] | exactly, and so there is nothing to admire about new Google's effort ... imo this is completly wrong marketing move. They go against the Mozilla foundation, who they sponsor .... |
Henrik 2-Sep-2008 [3152] | Pekr, did you skip the part about the browser being highly multithreaded? |
