Geek Speak / Has anyone used the new Google Chrome browser?
« on: 17/02/2010 17:25:39 »I had been using it since the Linux versions were released back at the beginning of December 2009 but I've found there's no way to set a limit on the amount of stuff it caches and that, together with a few other lacking controls i.e. cookie retention etc, I've just dropped it and gone back to a firefox derivative.
Lee I keep on using the Firefox Add-on updates but the cautious
woman I am, I check them out first loads. Better to be totally
sure I think.
I've never used a Linux PC.

That's why I've made Firefox as my default browser because
it's got in-built firewalls along with the other AV+ stuff I have

Geek Speak / Has anyone used the new Google Chrome browser?
« on: 07/02/2010 13:41:30 »I'm currently using chrome on this pc because IE kept crashing. It seems OK but then again, I'm not asking it to do anything complicated. The favourites transfered across OK. The only bit that bugged me was the spell check which defaults to incorrect English, and that's easily fixed.I agree there specially when I had to keep on using my dictionary instead of spellchecking with US English other than UK English.
Also IE8 produced viruses luckily I've plenty of AV protection

Geek Speak / Has anyone used the new Google Chrome browser?
« on: 06/02/2010 17:54:44 »I've reinstalled Chrome again for a another try and in my opinion on my computer it just does not seem to operate as efficiently as Google says it should. I have retuned to firefox and yet still come across some sites that won't work/display correctly unless IE is used. One thing I do find with Firefox is that quite often...when ewe think it has closed down...it's still running !!...opening up Task Manager and it's still there !!...This happens when ewe restart Firefox and I get the message that it's already running !!..weird eh ?..does anybody else experience that ?
Yes Neil that happens to me when I shut down properly but I've accidentally closed a Firefox browser that I was using then it reappears, Weird. So I do close every browser now before shutting
down it's a nuisance.
I don't trust IE8 anymore so I hardly ever use that browser now.

I rarely use Google chrome now in favour of Firefox because it's
got its own in-built Firewall along with the AV, Firewalls and other stuff I have. Doesn't crash my computer either.

Physiology & Medicine / Does Ambient Temperature Really Affect My Ability To Catch A Cold ?
« on: 06/02/2010 10:06:47 »Evidently my mother was of that opinion.It must be my age but it works for me and always has. That's
I think it does make a difference if you get chilled. It lowers your system's ability to fight off a virus. But that could be baloney.
what my Mum told me.
I felt under-the-weather anyway. And I was near a friend who hadEat citrus fruits, drink loads of honey & lemon and keep warm.
I've done that and still have a cold, jumpers etc.
Thanks Rosalind....hmmm...I think temperature has little to do with the ability to actually catch a cold !
a nasty cough in freezing weather. It's my 1st this winter

Physiology & Medicine / My cat Marmalade has Feline Hyperthroidism !!, Can you help please?
« on: 05/02/2010 09:27:59 »
Thanks Discover Dave for your links but they are mainly to do with
American Veterinary clinics, I live in London, UK.
This is one of the links I found, not as good as yours.
The vet is a nuisance not answering my many questions and I pay enough
for Marmalade's treatment. It frustrates me.

Physiology & Medicine / My cat Marmalade has Feline Hyperthroidism !!, Can you help please?
« on: 04/02/2010 18:21:58 »
My female cat Marmalade is almost 11 years old and she has a condition called
Feline Hyperthyroidism which made/makes her over-eat and lose weight also
drank/drinks too much.
But since last October 2009 when I found about her thyroids being affected
she's been taking (eating) Vidalta 10mg x 1 daily (sort of).
She's also got possible kidney damage due to the meds but what
I don't understand is her condition or enough about Feline Hyperthyroidsim although
I ask loads of questions to the vet and I get rebuffed.

« on: 06/01/2010 17:57:27 »When you take aspirin you reduce pain. Therefore you in a better mood and water and feed your plants, simple!
I don't take Aspirin but once in a blue moon I'd take a paracetamol. No I wouldn't feed my plants with a painkiller
but water and Babybio
