Achieving the Impossible!

I was thinking about Google Chrome recently, particularly an experience I had with it, and this led me to think of Windows Vista and a similar experience.  I achieved what was advertised as an impossibility with each of them (at least as far as I've been informed).

Google Chrome is billed as having this great feature where everything that happens is kept in its own little isolated section of memory.  If a plug-in within a window crashes, only the plug-in crashes, or possibly in a worst case scenario, that window crashes, but definitely NOT the whole shootin' match (IE. all of your other open windows).  Well, guess what folks.  In a feat not possible according to Google advertising documentation, I've crashed the whole damned thing on two different occasions now!  Funny thing is, even in beta, and even factoring in these two crashes, I've been having much better luck with Chrome than I've had with Firefox or IE!!!  Chrome still kicks butt!

This takes me back to early use of Windows Vista.  I installed it, and within the first half-day of use, it blue-screened on me.  Not knowing any better, I called a friend who is far more knowledgeable about Windows in general (as part of his job).  "Naw," he said, "Vista isn't supposed to blue-screen, cause they took those out...it'll black-screen, but not blue-screen."  I assured him that I was, at that moment, sitting in front of a blue-screen, fresh out of Vista.  "Huh?!", he said.  "That's not supposed to happen."  And we laughed uproariously at the kookiness of Microsoft.

You too can do the impossible!
