Microsoft didn't invent the current system. User profiles (settings) and application files have always been in separate places in Unix systems (and derivatives). Windows versions before were primarily designed for single user scenarios hence Microsoft was less strict about separating the profile and application files, but things have since changed and modern Windows versions are designed with multiuser scenarios in mind.
Microsoft coming with a radically different system is not likely to happen, at least not in the near future.
LFS World is already a web app. Any web site can be in a way be a web app. Web apps are just web sites that web pages that work like actual programs which usually includes using a lot of JavaScript. Web app are seeing more support from new browsers, but this support is just mostly being able to make a web app page in to a App Tab. This tab has the regular navigation UI stripped of and it turns in to smaller width tab with only the icon of the page (at least on Firefox 4) and that tab is always open in your browser. Web Apps are nothing special, they can be used the same in normal tabs like before.
All that manifest thing does is that makes the web page integrate more in to Chrome. The main advantages of that is that you can more easily grant that site some extra privileges if needed, but LFS World doesn't need any of that.
I say we don't need any of that Chrome thing. Just let LFS World be like it is and if anyone wants to make it a app tab they of course can.
The green tint comes from the fact that there are 6 bits of greens and only 5 bits of red and blue.
With 32 bits all three have 8 bits. And the last 8 bits are alpha layers if you were wondering why 8+8+8 doesn't add up to 32.

300km/h with 490HP and those big wings is just not possible.
But yeah, LFS could use some more powerful cars. Especially more powerful road cars, super cars.

It doesn't run perfectly, but you can play single player without AI. Online play or with AI cars the game is unplayable though.
The most expensive one and the second most expensive one 
There really isn't a reliable way that would detect all offensive names and not cause false positives at the same time.
Besides, who cares? People who choose a usernames like that are just some kids who want attention. Just ignore them and they will get bored and go away.

Kind of obvious thing really to improve. I am sure this is on the devs todo list already.
Currently the engine or any other part of the running gear can't break down from crashes. Which means that as long as your wheels touch the ground you can drive off.

Both of them work both ways.
If your mobo has a 8pin connector you can use it with a 4 pin cable from PSU.
If you mobo has a 4pin connector the 8pin cable from PSU breaks in half and you can use the 4pins from it.
Atleast according to this thread:

Being over the specified voltage is not any better. Computer parts are designed to work with the specified voltage and on the ideal situation you PSU would supply that exact voltage. Going over or under is a bad thing. There are certain tolerances that the voltages are not supposed to go over. The little drops you have are within the tolerances. It could just be that the PSU was not manufactured with high quality parts so it the voltages differ from the ideal a little. That does not indicate that you are on the limit. If you had dramatic drops that would be another thing, but those voltages you have are well withing the normal operation tolerances.
OCZ is fine. Not as good as Corsair though.
You should be able to run it with just one 4 pin connector, but new PSUs should come with a 8pin connector.

Those voltages don't really indicate that you are on the limit of your PSU. It just means that the PSU has those voltages running. The voltages don't drop linearly as you use more power, your PSU could have those voltages even if you used half the power you are using now. Some PSUs just have voltages little under or over the intended value, but as long as they are within the tolerance it's fine (5% iirc).
As for the OP. Seeing your specs I can say you don't need 700W. Just get a quality PSU with around 500W and you are fine.

So you have one those Core i7 + Quad SLI systems overclocked to the max then?
The amount of power needed is grossly overestimated by many people. I would say around 500-600W is enough for most systems. Only really really high-end systems go over that.
Parts are more expensive here in Europe. The usual conversion ratio seems to be 1:1 too even though the real ratio is more like 1.5:1.
VX450W is £55 in overclockers.co.uk. Maybe there are a cheaper shops out there. I just used it to check the general price range for those.

I am pretty sure you don't need 500W, let alone 700W. Just get a quality PSU (Corsair for example) that fits your budget.
Corsair VX450W.
It's not 500W, but it should be enough (even if you decide to SLI your 250GTS). And it is around the budget limit.
Corsair is pretty much the best at the moment and they also have a 5 year warranty.

460W should be enough for that system. But I think your PSU might be broken. I had similar problems when my PSU started to break down.
First there was difficulties booting up the system. I had to reduce overclocking to get the computer booting (the overclocks were stable before). Sometimes I had to press the power button multiple times. Just like you the system ran fine when it was all booted up.
Then finally the PSU totally broke down and the computer wouldn't boot up no matter what I tried.
PS. That Asus PSU calculator show way way too much power needed. CPUs dont use up 200W nor HDDs use 50W.

Looks to be the right one. The plugs are designed so that they only fit in to the right place anyway.
Have you plugged your monitor in to the new graphics card? Can you get a image from it when you do that?
^ Done this?
Click on ATI Radeon™ Video Card Drivers, then under Full Catalyst Software Suite (Recommended) choose your operating system, make sure you choose the right bits. Then click Download. Once downloaded run the .exe.
I don't have much experience with OpenGL, but I have heard that it's a bit of a mess. Some things are easy to do with it, some things are harder. Also it has quite a lot of bits that need to be done using GPU specific things, so if you want to support both ATI and NVIDIA you need to do the same thing twice and that leaves out all other manufacturers. OpenGL is still based on the same old OpenGL the 90s so some things are quite deprecated already. DirectX had the same thing which is why they started from "scratch" with DX10.
It's one of those new Athlons based on Phenom II I think.
AMD Athlon II X2 245 AM3 <- that (?)
Those are fine if you are on a tight budget. Just don't go for that old Phenom 9950. You want either Phenom II or Athlon II.
You should really go for 4GB. If your budget is really that tight that you can't afford DDR3, you can go with DDR2. If your computer is built on a very tight budget DDR3 vs DDR2 does not matter.
For the GPU forget the 9600GT. Other better options are Radeon 5770, Radeon 5750, Radeon 4850, Geforce GTS250.
Also forget that PSU. I have never heard of that maker. You don't want to get some of those cheap PSU because they are more likely to break down and PSU can take your other hardware with it when it does.
Corsair is the best PSU manufacturer at the moment.
Yeah. The 8pin connector breaks in half so you can use it on old 4pin mobos and you can break off 4pins from the 24pin connector so it can be inserted in to old 20pin mobos.
