I love Chrome very much and for the typical web surfer I wouldn't argue that it should be their #1, go-to browser, especially compared to Internet Exploder.

But a week or two ago I tried for days very hard to switch to it from Firefox and for my needs, it comes up short and does not beat out Firefox despite its lightning fast V8 JavaScript engine and alleged better memory management.

As fast as Chrome is, it crashed on me several times during routine tasks, it does not have any print preview support, and FireBug, my preferred tool for JS debugging, does not work so well (example: the web page's scrollbar includes the FireBug window, so I can't view the bottom of the page without undocking FireBug; the extension is also incomplete as compared to the Firefox version). I actually found myself repeatedly switching over to FF to load my development pages just for some proper debugging.

In addition to all that, the AdBlock extension is not able to block ads until after they've been downloaded. This results in ads showing up momentarily before they disappear from the page and often the space for the disappeared ads remains, whereas in FF they just never appear at all.

One other less significant issue is that you can't use address bar shortcuts for bookmarks, e.g., in FF I could type "w aaron burr" and it would load WikiPedia.

Finally, the lack of a way (at least an obvious way) to search a specific site is a bother. E.g., in FF I hit CTRL+E to get to the search box then CTRL+downarrow to switch to Amazon, then type in my query and, boom, I'm at Amazon. You can also add VideoSift to that search box in Firefox; if you don't know how, click the search box icon then click "Add VideoSift Search". (Note: in Chrome you can type "amazon" [among others] then hit TAB for a site-specific search, but that feature's not available for all sites and I don't see a way to add others.)

The end. (What is this my own personal blog or something?)

Nothing to munch, but I do drink like water, juice, V8, etc.

Actually, it kinda does.

I find it amusing that they stuck a license plate on the back of it. As if that would make it street legal.

I think that cat has a V8 inside.

Yo as easy as it may seem MC'ing is not a capa-
bility for most to possess, you gotta catch up,
Take the time to create, construct demonstrate
Set wack MC's straight, drinkin' a V8
I'm like a baseball player on track, got on steel cleats
I represent the conscience styles until it hits the streets
My backbone attack wack poems, got mad rap tones
I destroy fake Madlib beats and Crackerjack poems (Ha-Ha)
It's time for lunch already, yes past lunch
I eat MC's like Captain Crunch, I attack and then punch
Rap in such different styles that's unlike yours
Wack MC's, I'll point you out and point out all of your flaws
All of your jaws get broken, styles no jokin'
Battling straight up battling is what I'm provokin'
But I'll die before these wack MC's infect thee
Hip Hop industry to the point I cannot breathe

But if Wildstyle dies before Wild Child wakes
I pray to God to step down and take out all them fake
MC's, pretty please
"Cuz when I'm on the mic I like to speak freely"

Down with the Liks, Jump straight from the bass onto the kicks
Non-freestylin' MC's fall straight down in the pits
My name be Jack, spontaneous freestylist when I catch wreck
Brothers bite me so hard saying my rhymes I ain't even wrote yet
So I take it to the max, take out Fake-Funkin' Jacks
Get to the point as I rock over Madlib bumpin' tracks
"You used to get busy at open mics?" Nah, I still do
I kill crews, lyrically, spiritually, yo I will do
Anything it takes to bring B-boy style back
And the thanks for you to make ya say my rhyme style's phat
But I'll die before these wack MC's infect these
Hip Hop industry to the point I cannot breathe

But if Wildstyle dies before Wild Child wakes
I pray to God to step down and take out all them fake
MC's, pretty please
"Cuz when I'm on the mic I like to speak freely"

Yeah, almost like they were avoiding showing us the rear for whatever reason??

So the car in game is electric and this RL car is a V8. RL should have been electric. Citroen should have used this to promote electric super/sports cars like other manufacturers are doing. Full electric cars will be common in the near future.

Horsepower... The Veyron has very little of that . Not as much as a Corvette, that's for sure.


Incorrect, sir.

A Veyron from the factory boasts 1001 HP at the rear wheels. The motor is essentially two 4.0 liter V8's wound together through a lot of engineering genius & electronic wizardry.

A stock Corvette ZR1 puts out 638hp at the rear wheels using a supercharged 6.2 liter LS9.
The Z06 model is rated at 505bhp with a 7.0 liter LS7.
A race-prepped C6.R Corvette is the lesser motor, putting out around 500bhp with the LS7.
A Callaway C16 tweaks the LS7 in different ways to jack the output to as much as 700hp.

In general, the smaller motor is preferred by road racers for the more usable powerband. The bigger motor is preferred by drag racers for the sheer displacement, but requires additional modifications to bump the HP, usually through turbocharging or supercharging.


It it possible that you were trying to drip sarcasm on us, but I saw nothing to indicate that this is nothing more than pure misinformation.


For those that care, the rating on the McLaren F1:
6.1 liter BMW S70/2 12 cylinder race motor capable of 627bhp.

They are all beasts of automobiles, to be certain. I'd gladly drive any or all of them, given the opportunity.



And yes, I registered as a sifter just for this!

genius... upgradable endlessly... put a 550 HP V8 powered pump back there with a 100 foot cable... make the pump pod always keep enough water to get you down safe and have it bring you down safe if needed...

They did a show a while back where they drove an Audi V8 diesel on an 800 mile round trip. I know it was posted here, but I can't find it.

And BTW, the title should read "Top Gear 750+ miles on a single tank of diesel. It would be a impressive go get even 1 mile on a tank of gas in a diesel car.

They actually drank it?!


Of course Captain Slow drank it. If you knew what he already ate, this shouldn't come as a surprise.

You're not to familiar with Brit cuisine I take it?

Used it for 5 minutes and just wow. Loving it thus far. Very slick...

One bug (?) so far is mouse wheel up doesn't scroll up, but down works fine.

[edit]
Awww, shnap! The tab dragging (side to side and in and out), memory used per tab, stats for nerds, ... This is a beautiful thing.

[edit]
Fantastic developer tools, js console, etc... The super fast V8 javascript engine... Independent tab execution... You can type view-source:http://www.videosift.com to see the source of a page without having to load it first...

Oh Chrome where have you been all my life?! Seriously, this thing's top notch.
