I unistalled it after that and it re-installed itself.
Somehow the last word in that sentence went missing; it should be "either."Ivan Seeking said:I've been working with Hexavalent Chromium. It's even worse because you can never uninstall it.

Whatever we may say about Google, and it's presumably even understated, but their products work. It worked best and first as a search engine, and it works now as a browser. I used Firefox before, but it blasted my memory, since all tasks were within one job, whereas Chrome starts several jobs which avoids any bottleneck effects. What MS tried from the beginning, namely to get things going independently from the user, Google did it. And other than MS I am not left outside the doors when it comes to administration possibilities. MS might be nice for grandmas, but it is pure horror for (non MS) developers.Greg Bernhardt said:... but understand it's the poorest in privacy.

fresh_42 said:Not only that chess games in movies are commonly ridiculous because one-move mates are never seen before they happen, and nobody seriously would have ever played that far, they are also extremely rude: one does not announce "check mate". It is arrogant and patronizing.
I wonder if a chess game scene has ever had a consultancy before.
My nephew recommended it to me but I haven't watched it yet. I guess this is an exception as the subject itself is chess.etotheipi said:Did you watch Queen's Gambit? AFAIK Kasparov was a consultant for that...

Jeez! The cost of that burger, fries, and shake, is equivalent to about 70 days of hard labor for a West African chocolate farmer.skyshrimp said:I have to go on a liquid diet from Sunday for 5 days due of a hospital procedure next week so decided to treat myself.
I tried 5 Guys for the first time yesterday. A burger, fries and a shake came to £21.

I bought a dry aged marbled rib of beef today for £34. That was £50 a kilo.
On the way home I popped into a new Turkish supermarket that had the same beef for £16 a kilo. Their cheese boreks were heaven sent and one of the best things I've ever tasted.
They were £1 each.

I guess it is difficult, because they want to avoid using a name associated with any individual, group, or place. And I remember, at the time, they were saying they also wanted it to sound non-threatening. So they needed a cute name that is associated in some way, either with what it is, or does to you (which we really barely knew at the time), but not associated with anything else. I still think they could do better.Keith_McClary said:
