It depends where your hands are when you need to start it.

If you've both hands on the keyboard, yes, if you're using the mouse, maybe not.

Also it depends which app you're starting.
If it's a frequent used app you probably have an alias in your quick launch, dock, desktop, pinned start menu whatever, and your muscle memory is sculpted to reach it fast in a click or two.
If it's something you don't use often it's probably buried in some app folder or all programs submenu, typing would get you to that way faster.

Unless you have to pause your brain to remember part of its name.

Bruce Tognazzini once ran a test with users invoking commands with shortcuts and clicking on them in pull down menus.

Many users reported to feel they were faster invoking shortcuts, while measured response times showed they were actually faster when clicking on menus.

That's because they were able to perceive the time they spent moving the pointer to the menu, while they didn't consciously measure the time that passed while they "paused" their thoughts and workflow to recall the desired shortcut.

This doesn't translate perfectly to the act of typing, and of course heavy power users and touch typist are snappier than most users, but it's interesting to point out that the way your consciousness experience the duration of a task is often not accurate.

it's gonna be when he turns it off

They're seriously copying Apple with that name.

well they're honest about not hiding their sources...

Maybe because keeping and bearing arms was seen more like a stupid idea than a dear time-honored right? Anyway, yes, I also have always considered the british legislative system to be somewhat weird (I'm not british btw).

There's also a 8000-pound donkeykong in the house, and is what the 10-15% of that human overpopulation do with their lives.

I'm in my mother's house right now.
Out of the window there's a parking lot and a small park.
When I was ten (1988, not 1888) every sunday there were around forty kids playing soccer in the park, and a dozen of cars in the parking lot.
Today, just 20 years later, there are around 80 cars in the lot, and no kid playing outside (guess they're all home toying with their consoles, pc and sat tv, even if it's sunny and warm today).

Until we deal with the fact that us 1stworld-ers MUST COLLECTIVELY fking change our ridiculous ultra consumeristic lifestyle, none of the rest is anything but posturing.

(and yes, I know I'm part of the problem, sitting here warm on the couch with my laptop and wi-fi)

To me it's more separate processes and sandboxing for each tab.

V8 performance is awesome, but I guess that Apple's squirrelfish and Mozilla's tracemonkey efforts will level up this field quite soon.

While the benefits of Chrome's "multitasking" tabs and security model will be harder to be injected in their older code base.
