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

I've only got 2 dead LCD monitors :)

dead  ???  well radio shark is your friend

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

mine turn on .. just no picture

then you remove the dead condensor and you replace it  by the one 
and Voila

no picture ????  hum really  if you point a strong light source to 
it does it show you the screen content ?
Graham

don't think so.

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

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 ?

Good news, shadwolf !  You fixed your LCD monitor.  And I suppose 
"condensor" translates to "capacitor" in English...
shadwolf

[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

Aha, wikipedia says a "condensor" is an "Early description of a capacitor".

well in french that condensateur  :P

I wondered what else would be measured in µF... :)

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 ?

Looks good....But does not seem to run the REBOL plugin, eg:

Plug in seems to install but apps do not run...

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 ...

Seems faster than FF 3

It is much faster than ie or ff3.

Pekr, they qualify that by saying they release often to internal 
staff.

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

[3150]
webkit is generally much faster than Gecko.
Pekr

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 ....

Pekr, did you skip the part about the browser being highly multithreaded?
it treats a page more like a task, so if you have a page with a stuck 
javascript, you can close the page, like a task in your OS that has 
hanged.
