OK, I won’t, but only if you would.

P.S. I understand that this bug has probably been fixed (haven’t updated this software for a while), but still a nice bug.

Google Chrome keeps crashing

If you Google Chrome keeps crashing with this message:

Whoa! Google Chrome has crashed. Relaunch now?

you can try disconnecting your google account from your chrome (temporary) – it looks like the problem is caused by something responsible on chrome syncing on google servers:

This file should be replaced

Well, nothing really special here — programmer used placeholder license file when building install, nobody had the trouble to replace this file with actual license text and placeholder has been shipped to the users.

What’s significant about this one – is that company that released this software is Intel, and software is some hardware driver. I hope their programmers were too busy replacing dummy functions in the code. Anyway – who reads license agreements when installing drivers from hardware manufacturer?

Funny “Print preview failed” bug in Google Chrome

val — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 09:00:07 +0000

3 links to print current page in HTML:

<a href="#" onclick="window.print();">print it #1a>

<a href=“#” onclick=“window.print();return false;”>print it #2a>

<a href=“javascript:window.print()”>print it #3a>

Question: What is wrong with one of them?

Same links clickable: print it #1, print it #2, print it #3

Answer: first link launches print interface in Google Chrome but Chrome fails to render print preview because of “Print preview failed” error. All three links work fine in Firefox and IE.
