HOW TO: Get ChromeOS's Google Talk webapp working on standard Chrome Browser

1. Install Google Talk from the Webstore
   
   
2. Look at the URL. Notice the ID of the plugin? Copy and paste it into a text editor.
   
3. Search on your computer for the folder containing the plugin. The folder name is the same as the ID of the plugin (on windows)
   
4. Open all javascript files (js directory) in a text editor and replace all occurrences of "navigator.userAgent.indexOf("CrOS")>=0" with "1" (without quotes)
5. Save all and restart Chrome
6. Open Gtalk from the appsmenu -> done!
   
   
7. To see the message window, simply resize the popup
   
8. BEWARE: It is just a hack, it may completely fail. Improvements welcome.
   Don't expect all functionality to work.... or any ^^

Enjoy! ;)

EDIT: If anyone knows how to enable the flag for floating panel support, the app may work just like on ChromeOS. The old flag got kicked out (--apps-panel)

New ways of communication. LOL, ROFL and beyond.

Many of you know these abbreviations that are used extensively all over the internet:
LOL, ROFL, LMAO etc.
Most of you love them, a few of you hate them. But the latest grammar-nazi-troll-food is the next step in modern communication: meme-based words. Recently I had an extensive discussion with some guy that tried to showcase his superiority by questioning my intelligence, just because I used a meme. "Awesome Sauce", a goofy word I used only once, was enough to act as a catalyst for an intellectual battle of epic dimensions. Well this guy was, to be honest, unarmed.
His main point was, that the common Internet slang just supports the "stupidification" of the common population by raping language (or something like that). I have to politely disagree. The inability to follow the rules of grammar or to build correct sentences and making typos are a problem, not these "new words" that are emerging.
