Your right, thanks for the tip. I have downloaded Chrome for my Debian box to test it out and I like it so far. I wish I could set the cache to 0kb though, so that it does not even bother to create a cache.
Also I learned something new:
If you edit the launcher (Linux) or shortcut (Windows) and add -incognito at the end of command, it will launch chrome in that mode on start.
What if I want to have a history file and allow cookies for the session, but want them all removed when I close the browser each time. Many sites require you to allow cookies. I don't see why the browser can not have an option to dump everything on exit.
I am still waiting for Google to add an option that allows me to have the History and other data delete on exit. The option to delete data on exit, excludes the history file. I think they use it to track users and market. This does not sound verey secure to me. How about you? I am a big Google fan and love Android, but when I realised the limited functionality when it comes to the privacy settings in the browser, I went back to Firefox. I run Linux so I.E. is not an option, but I would try it if they would open it up.
Most people do not realize that even if you set Chrome to delete files on exit, that it still retains your history and cahche. Firefox can be configured to dump all your data on exit.
This is a big reason why I went back to Firefox.
There are blogs complaining about this, but Google remains silent.
I play all my favorite DOS games on 64 bit Linux with dosbox.
No video or Audio issues.
Games I platy: Ultima 3,4,5 and 6. Might and Magic 3,4. Pool of Radiance, Wizardry6, Bards Tale 2,3, Dungeon Master 2.
Though I did need to tweek the conf file for each game, so I launch DosBox with the -conf flag pointing to the conf file for the game I want to play, usually in a launcher on the desktop, the conf file then maps the appropreate directory to C and initates the correct midi port and executes the game. By adding the exit command at the end of the conf file, dosbox closes when I exit the game.
I also use Frotz Z-Machine to play my text interactive games: http://frotz.sourceforge.net/
Also,
I hold on to all my old software and games, including the Boxes.
I believe that they will be worth something to collectors some day.
At my old job I found a bunch of unopened DOS 5, windows 3 and NT 3 boxes and scooped them up, with permission.
My boss thought I was crazy, but I think I may have a possible collectors dream.
I also have original Comador 64 and Amiga games in good condition, still in box.
WatCom Basic
OS2/WARP unopened.
Borland C, unopened.
I wish I had held onto my old hardware though.
I think it would be cool to still have my old ZX 81: Vid of ZX 81 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X92xvLlbnVg&feature=feedlik , Comador 64 and Amiga.
Even an old 386 would be cool to have kicking around.
P.S.
Does anyone know why all the text in my posts gets skished up into one block, and loses all my carriage returns?
And the holy profit and teacher blogged:
Here my brethren, witness as I have acquired Root, and Root I give unto you.
He thus uploaded the Root kit unto Torrent for all the chosen people.
There was much rejoicing and feasting.
They ate of, Vienna sausages, jalapino poppers, pizza pockets, Cheetos, Pepsi Max, and Mc Donalds apple pies.

I am sure I will not be one of the chosen ones to be raptured.
So I may as well watch some Star Trek on the PVR.
Once all the puritan, fundamentalist, stiffs are gone, I will crack open some beer and party non stop throughout the tribulation.
And then I will dodge the draft. You know, for the big war in Megiddo Israel aka Armageddon.
After the war I will most likely join Star Fleet.
Hey, the odds of me ending up in Star Fleet are around the same as the odds of the Rapture, so why not.
