Wouldn't this be better with JPEG2000 or other wavelet based image format?

You just fetch whatever level of detail you want, you just stop.

Woosh!

Chrome looks like Firefox - Mozilla did the research for a new UI and UX, collected tons of data through Test Pilot project, released the data to the public, before Firefox 4 was released with the new UI, Google came out with Chrome that looked very similar to what Mozilla drew up in mock UI's. This just completes the overhaul of the UI. A little late as it was a low priority. Sad story, but true.

I worry about the dead body being found in the boot.

Like the IOC did with swimming banning such suits, you'd think they would have made this a rule across all sports.

Same with London Olympics. A new law was made for this purpose, the 'London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006'.

You must be new here!

Every time /. has been updated, people moan. "Slashdot now uses javascript, how could they do this to us!", "web page is so bloated, it used to be 30kB it s now 50kB, I'm on dialup and will be for the next 30 years".

*yawn*

I guess briefly as it starts to fall back to earth. It wont be orbiting or going faster than escape velocity.

This is what I hear from everyone I know who has one. I know of 7 people with Chromebooks, they either wiped Chrome off or left it getting dusty on a shelf, one or two given to someone else. I must state that none of these people bought their Chromebooks, they were given for free from Google.

So, does anyone actually know of anyone who has bought one? Why do they sell well on Amazon? A race to the bottom to release cheap hardware, Chrome OS machines being one of the only ones left as OEMs have learnt that racing to the bottom doesn't work.

I think we do in the UK. You're certainly not allowed to touch any cables or equipment that is beyond the demarcation box or master socket. Anyone?

I'm in the UK, I use these in my home. They take up far less space than normal 13A sockets.

Now, powerlock. One for the home.

I've never understood this. Same with HDMI/DVI. Why can HD-SDI transmit 2k uncompressed video and 16 channels of audio easily over a 200m reel of coax cable, yet HDMI wont go any further than 10m.

It still becomes a brick when you have no wi-fi or you don't have an over-priced GSM subscription.
