Its not an option for everyone. I had a classmate in undergrad who had a medical condition where they could not take notes by hand. They even had a doctor's note saying that they had to have a laptop in class.

From my understanding, you are not guessing which human player won. Instead, two equal AIs play the remainder of the game and you have to guess which side will win.

It happens to me as well (Windows, Chrome) but inconsistently (sometimes, its on time). Looking at the JS, it might be since it schedules to check for updates every 100ms (`timerId = setInterval(update, 100);`) instead of scheduling a callback for the time of the next bar.

Edit: Also, the JS `setInterval` callback can be delayed.

Edit: After debugging their code some more, the above isn't why (though is still inefficient). The audio player (SoundManager) they are using only updates the audio playback time at a rough granularity. If I log the time values, I get the following (all in milliseconds):

    0
    182.404
    681.59
    1180.778
    1680.963
    2179.152
    ...
The song is 120 BPM which means that the first bar changes is at 2000ms causing the first bar change to be 179ms late.

Phish currently releases audio from all of their concerts. They do webcasts of some (all?) of their shows, and usually release a video of one of the songs after. I don't know why they don't sell the video now though.

You can find all their concerts at livephish.com. They also release old concerts of theirs every so often.

I could be wrong on this, but I think you also get a free mp3 download of the concert the day after if you attended the event.

Chrome does have a password generator and password syncing though I think the generator is hidden behind a flag still.

Write the assignment using docs offline mode. Print it out or email it from school. Or from a friends house. Or from the countless places that have free internet these days.

I have two monitors (Google Chrome on Ubuntu). The paddles appeared on one while the ball appeared on the other. It was still playable, but was rather odd lining up the paddle against the ball on a different monitor.

www.facebook.com was down for me and some friends earlier. Only for a few minutes though.

The article was using the data from NetApplications which is % of users. Most % of page views, such as StatCounter, still show Chrome as the top browser.
