True enough. That just happened to be the first quote I could find on a reputable IT security website.

I first became aware of the potential privacy implications when I checked my firewall logs after testing the initial release of Chrome for a while. What I saw prompted me to a) remove Chrome from my PC and b) do a little more digging.

At the end of the day it’s your PC and your privacy, so if you’re happy with Chrome then fair play and good luck to you. 🙂

I am reliably informed that once you have deleted the search history no record of it is held by Chrome, which is what I had always believed to be the case. Chrome would naturally maintain that their systems are more secure and better than their competitors.

No doubt others would dispute it but as in so much of what happens in cyberspace, do we really know? At the end of the day we all live in a world where we have few secrets and thatn will nevdr change.

Within a decade we will be accessing everything via our “phones”, although the mobile phone element will have become virtually irrelevant.

But, for now, as you say, I am happy with Chrome and will stick with it. I am also extremely pleased with my Android phone and reckon that Google is ready for the battle on two fronts – Apple and Microsoft.:)

Sky High.

But Kev, you are one of these foreigners I respect, who has learnt to speak english fluently……what are doing so far South, anyway?

There are lots of opinions on grammatical matters, but it is what makes English so good for writers – it allows playfulness. The Guardian is a very useful guide, but it is only the standard reference when one is writing for them.

Absolutely – that is the joy and challenge of English, which is why I have great admiration for foreigners who take the trouble to learn and speak our language so fluently – often better than some of our indigenous English speakers!

Guardian Style Guide (http://www.guardian.co.uk/styleguide/s) says:

Not necessarily – it is not hard and fast. And I am not sure that the Guardian is the accepted reference in these matters, anyway!

That is just bizarre. To construct an artificial mountain on the site of an airfield in a city. Edinburgh has its volcanic “plug”, Holyrood Park, but that is natural and pre-dates the city by millions of years. The city was built round it – not the other way round. And what are the civil engineering problems? 🙁

Shall we have the ‘spelt or spelled‘ discussion whilst he’s away?

😉 Moggy

Indeed so. And it is an interesting discussion. Some irregular “T” verbs retain their unchanged consonant form and ther vowel change – such as burnt ( burned) and dreamt ( dreamed ) whereas other do not such as crept and dealt – and there are numerous other examples of both.

It might be a matter of age – at school, many years ago, spelled was rarely found. It is another example of the way our language is constantly evolving. Sometimes, as some of us would have it, for the worse but often for the better. It will be our children and their children who will decide when “spelt” is no more and “spelled” becomes the accepted form. For now both are acceptable.

[QUOTE=’568 crew;1496195]Now I know this may seem a cowards way out…but i’ve got a friend who’s interested in helping me write the stories. I’VE READ ALL ADVICE on this thread and decided the best thing to do is to use it and put it into practice.
Update on stories: Some Random Stuff, nothing to report.
The Good Old Days, added more AC.
Cold War Mk.II Nothing to report. (working on sequal) :diablo:

See ya guys later.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

AND (its a bit late) A HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO THOSE ACROSS THE POND![/QUOTE]

What a relief! We will be spared the confusing ramblings of the past few weeks and hope to see you back here in a few months with properly written, well constructed, well spelt and grammatically correct, readable stories.

I’m booked to do a few laps in 2010.

Sabine will only see me as a fast-diminishing dot 🙂

In her rear-view mirror 😮

Shame – she looked well worth keeping up with:D
