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

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.
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

%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

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

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.

sunanada the firefox version of the rebweb plug should run on chrome
hum it's fast even as fast as safari
google Chromettechnologie us the a process design and a new javascrip 
(V8) virtual machine with some cool features like powerfull object 
based garbage collection and  auto object creation (even if you don't 
say so your javascript is decompose into objects) each tab is a separate 
process each things that are needed to show a page is rendered simultanously. 
no asynchronous system so
as every page is a process well when you close a page  you recover 
the full used memory  no more waste in memory use
ho and is javascript fail to run that just have an impact on the 
javascript part of the webpage that doesn't crash the full webbrowser 
or hang the rendering process
on sites with lot of imgs content like hum ..... dailymotion you 
really see the difference

Chrome seems incompatible with qtask!
I don't like the extra distance to go to switch tabs :(
Henrik

safari is not compatible with qtask either, so there's probably some 
relation there.
