Sweet a facepuncher actually does something with his life.
The real question is: What is it on that tray? Tea? Coffee? Hot Squash?
Christ this is ridiculous how we're late on news
Haha, holy shit, cheers for the heads up! Edit: A translation would be awesome, if someone can do that. :) [QUOTE=SamRinny;22242380]The real question is: What is it on that tray? Tea? Coffee? Hot Squash?[/QUOTE] Coffee.

[QUOTE]Chrome already fired the fan's Creativity By Brad Stone We expect google to unveil the very expected Chrome Operating System at th eend of the year, and that the software, in priciple, is only compatible with the variety of low-cost PCs called netbooks. However, a growing number of Google amateurs didn't want to wait. These people are downloading home versions of the operating system derived from the esoteric source code, which Google released under the name Chromium. Google develops the Chrome system asan opensourceand periodically-updated online projects to allow other developers of web pages to contribute to the project. Several users have taken those undistilled barrels of source code and done something that google says never imagined: They have compiled them in different functional versions of the iperative system andadapted them for use in dozens of computer brands. The Google Chrome OS is designed to allow computers to load the Net in a matter of seconds, by showing a login screen similar to that of a web browser. The users of the operative system hve to do all the online digital work "in the cloud", without downloading applications of traditional software like iTunes and Microsoft Office or storing files in hard drives. Chrome "is a gamble to a future in which we will go beyond the abundant applications and, with time, everything will be provided through a search engine", declared Michael Gartenberg, analyst of Interpret, research company. However, that moment still has not come, he said: "This year and the next, Chrome is just a science project." However, for the legions of Google fanatics,the fact that it's a science project adds to the appeal. There have been fully-functional versions of Chromium allover the net, and have been downloaded over a million times. The most popularand functional versions have been found in the site of a 17-year old in Manchester, England, who identifies himself in the net with the name "Hexxeh". Liam McLoughlin, how his familyand friends know Hexxeh, is a university student and programmer who has taken the Chromium source codefrom google and compiled it int a way that it can be downloaded to a separate USB memory to be used to resert a computer. He configure Chromium to work onmany types of computers and added characteristicsthat Google still doesn't have, like support for the Java programming language. He explained that his work with Chromium began as awayto prove his skills with computersand possibly open new doors in the IT industry. "ost people don't care how PCs work or the security software that comes with current computers. They just want to use Internet" he expressed. Sundar Pichai, vicepresident of the administration of products, says that is it "amazing to see what people like Hexxeh area doing". Even though he called the release of Chromium an "incidental consequence" of the process of developing open-source software, he commented: "If you decide to make open-source projects, you have to be completely open."[/QUOTE] Please forgive me for the typos, it's cold here and I can't type well whenmy fingers are nearly frozen. Also, the space key doesn't want to work.
Thanks, Eudoxia! Interesting to see I'm quoted as being an "university student" (hint: I'm not). xD
[QUOTE=Hexxeh;22243517]Thanks, Eudoxia! Interesting to see I'm quoted as being an "university student" (hint: I'm not). xD[/QUOTE] It could also translate as "College".
[QUOTE=Eudoxia;22243556]It could also translate as "College".[/QUOTE] Ah, they got it right then, my bad. :)
OP should ship you over the newspaper :D
[QUOTE=Hexxeh;22242948]Ah, alright, thanks! Edit: Anyone there who has a copy they can post to me? Tell me whatever postage is and I'll send it over to you.

I remember a long time ago you said you got mails from Google offering possible job opportunities because of your site. Never thought it would go this far! Keep it up!
At least they took out his mother, that was just a dumb picture to choose for NYT.
Congratulations, Hexxeh, you finally made it to the big time!
Congrats hexxeh
£200 on Hexxeh's head on a silver plate :jihad:
[QUOTE=Hexxeh;22243575]Ah, they got it right then, my bad. :)[/QUOTE] Yeah, in spanish the same word is used for "University" and "College", so when I saw "Estudiante Universitario" I translated it to "University student". Also, out of curiosity, what programming languages do you know?
Hexxeh hits another large paper. Congrats again man :]
[QUOTE=Eudoxia;22244646]Yeah, in spanish the same word is used for "University" and "College", so when I saw "Estudiante Universitario" I translated it to "University student". Also, out of curiosity, what programming languages do you know?[/QUOTE] PHP, JS, Lua, Bash, VB and a working knowledge of C. Maybe some others, I forget.
BTW OP, what newspaper is that, Clarín? La Nacion? My grandpa always buys newspapers... I'll call my mom and ask her if she can go to his house and check out yesterdays' newspapers for me; if she finds your article, I'll ask her to keep it for me, I'll pick it up as soon as possible and I could send it over to you, Hexxeh :D
[quote]Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management, said that “what people like Hexxeh are doing is amazing to see.” Though he called the Chromium releases an “unintended consequence” of the process of developing open-source software, he said, “If you decide to do open-source projects, you have to be open all the way.”[/quote] Way to go Hexxeh!
HEXXEH WHY WOULD YOU PUT A TAR.GZ INSIDE ANOTHER TAR.GZ, NOW I HAVE TO SPEND JUST AS MUCH TIME EXTRACTING AS I DO DOWNLOADING [img]http://www.a.com/[/img]
[QUOTE=Hexxeh;22244697]PHP, JS, Lua, Bash, VB and a [B]working knowledge of C[/B]. Maybe some others, I forget.[/QUOTE] Awesome, not many people seem to bother with C nowadays.

[QUOTE=KmScMT;22256096]is that hexxeh in the picture that guy looks really gay[/QUOTE] Nah, Hexxeh doesn't look that gay.
So, you live in Argentina, eh? There's a man who used to go by the name of Edis Krad. Find him, and kill him.
Woah cool.
