Does not work with local area network. I've tried to ssh on my VM.
FYI, seems to work me. I was able to connect to my server in VMware.
Indeed. I've missed the "username@" part.

The terminal metaphor isn't so great either; in fact I think it's miserable, compared to the workbook-type approach provided by something like Mathematica from 15 years ago (last time I worked somewhere that could afford it) I find it depressing that all command line interfaces aren't like that. Also, in-band signalling, escape characters, magic select() timing loops to distinguish from "real" input, hackarounds for…
Your second paragraph is confusing what I was trying to distinguish as "implementation" from "metaphor". Yes, I agree all that is a mess (though good luck trying to fix it -- won't ever happen). But it's a tolerable mess, because it enables the command line. And your first point is just verifiably wrong. If there were truly better workflow metaphors for software development, you'd think at least some of the best hack…

#173Can someone explain how this is possible within the web's standard security model?

NaCL is not portable, unless you happen to be running the same architecture that the software was compiled for. You might be thinking of PNaCL which is still very experimental: http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/pnacl
Well that's just dumb. They should've made ARM a first citizen for ChromeOS from day one. I saw a rumor about a future Samsung Chromebook that will use a dual core 2 Ghz Cortex A15 chip, so maybe it's coming soon.

Yeah, well. There's a reason browser vendors other than Google aren't so keen on NaCl. No one else actually wants the web to get locked in to a particular hardware architecture or small set of architectures.
Note that even PNaCl would have that problem (assuming they ever get it to work): it would just aim to work on x86, x86-64 and ARM.
Or put another way, if something like that had taken off about 10 years ago, it would have only worked on x86 and maybe PowerPC and x86-64. And browsing the web would have been impossible using an ARM chip. The question that needs asking is why we think that something has changed in the last 10 years such that locking the web into a small set of hardware architectures is OK now.

Yeah. It's super easy to activate your iPhone without an iTunes account with a credit card on file. ...wait.
I've never used an iPhone. At the time, I was comparing the experience with setting up my DSi. It lets you download things without making an account or having a credit card.* In fact, before downloading Angry Birds for Chrome I had never needed to sign up to download anything. (You also need to be online and signed in to play the game.) *The DSi Shop is a big pile of fail, but that is unrelated.
Cool, and I see what you're saying, but there's a specific reason that these things are set up the way that they are.
It's about ensuring that the same experience exists whether you're spending money or not. The reasoning goes, if it's painful to spend money the first time, many people will never set things up if they can get away with free stuff. But if you're required to have an account with a credit card already set up to even get a free thing, then you're more likely to spend money when the time comes. This is also why installing a free app on your iPhone requires you to enter your password and confirm your purchase.
Google's implementation of this is worse than Apple's, because they don't demand your credit card information until the first time you try to purchase something. But ultimately, they're both driving at the same thing, and it's hard to argue with the fact that they're pretty successful at it.
As for your DSi, I hope you never lose or damage it. The lack of accounts for the store means that your purchases are bound to the device and are non-transferrable.

#177I like this because it allows me to ssh into a machine and then run lynx to browse the web. Meta-browser, baby!

Chromebooks already have SSH installed natively.
And they support keys -- Although it seems the primary way to use them is by putting your keys into your 'Downloads' folder, which isn't exactly ideal. Looks like this will eventually replace the inbuilt ssh supplied with crosh (Chromium OS shell)
Can you explain this a little more? I cant quite get it to work.
