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...

... 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".

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
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 ....

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.
Graham

I have a page that normally slows down FF ... it doesn't with Chrome.
Pekr

[3155]
browser is multithreaded because of webkip inability to work with 
threads, no?
Graham

Now to make chrome the default browser ...

Chrome looks more multi-process than multithreaded.
Graham

where's the binary?
Dockimbel

[3159]
%USER%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
Graham
2-Sep-2008
[3160]
why there?
Dockimbel

don't know, I just clicked run the install, I don't remember being 
asked for an install folder.
Graham

[3162x3]
Mine isn't there.
%USER%\appdata\local\google\chrome\chrome.exe
\chrome\application\chrome.exe

I took a quick look for the binary and any associated files in programs...not 
there ofcourse. Strange.

I wanted to se if REBOL Plugin was saved in same folder. I see gears 
plugin in plugin but not rebol plugin
Graham

setting chrome to be the default application for html didn't work. 
 Rebol still loads FF.
set default programs doesn't give me an opportunity to add chrome 
either.
