Bootstrap: btn-lg is smaller than input-lg

Link: btn-lg is smaller than input-lg
Example: input-size-bootstrap

Issue
    In all modern browsers except in IE10+, it seems that the large buttons with large inputs for input groups are smaller. The difference is only a pixel but is noticeable on some screens. To be clear this issue can be avoided if you use the input-group-lg however my test prove that the heights stay consistent regardless which style classes you use. I didn't find this out until I started looking into the issue and I think this is kinda nit picking but something that should be corrected to prevent future mistakes.

Changes
    For my first attempt I tried changing the @line-height-large but if I changed the @line-height-large this affects the input-group-lg, and select input-group-lg as well as the large buttons. So instead to just change the large buttons I set the large button line-height by adding a 0.01 value. This still had problems in firefox, which lead me to the final solution below. File(s) - just the buttons.less

Possible Solution
    Since firefox results in a 48px vs. 46px I just add a height of 46px to be consistent across all browser and this works because the input-group-lg also uses a height 46.

Alternative Solution
<div class="input-group input-group-lg">
<span class="input-group-btn">
      <button class="btn" id="sizing-addon1">Large</button>
    </span>
   <input class="form-control" placeholder="Input" type="text" />
</div>

Tests
    I haven't written many qunit tests but my test is  really simple and based on other code people have written. The test builds out the elements in question, uses jquery to check the heights then removes it from the page. Since it would appear in the result otherwise. I'm using the css in the index test page this might affect other tests. This can be seen with the tooltip test, fails because of it.

UI-Bootstrap Collapsible Sticky Footer

    I could have done this a lot of ways and ultimately I made it work with javascript modifying the class names. I also had to create multiple class names which I didn't like to much, I might come back and improve this but for now this is was I got. Also I call bootstrap+angularjs = ui-bootstrap, not sure if that's common sense but thought I should include it somewhere in my notes. Working Example: http://plnkr.co/edit/2N9ENlbw3bSvg1W9n0ch?p=preview This little css was key to prevent any kind of animation on the collapse, which would result in a scrollbar appearing on the body. A scrollbar can appear when the content's too long but not on the sticky foot duh! .no-animate { transition-duration: 0.0125s; } Research Angular-UI Bootstrap Collapse without animation - Stack Overflow http://jsfiddle.net/paulalexandru/Z2Lu5/  - Was looking at this to see if I could reuse it but I ended but just doing my own thing. Another way which I've seen Using a sticky

Installing Windows on Acer chromebook 15 cb3-532

Much of my notes are just small problems I faced (what's new!) haha. Either way this was a really fun project to do for a friend and I got excited once I research all the information. You can find instruction videos but what helped me the most was the coolstar website. Sadly they don't have parameters in the url so I can link the machine I used in this article. -  https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html Scared of messing with the bios? Don't be!    So you need to first remove the screw to put a legacy bios on the machine. Its easy to backup the chrome os one and with the same steps to change it. You can go back in and revert to the chrome version bios. Its that last part that had me worried and its very easy to do.  Problems getting into Developer Mode?   Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loop where it s
