    Purge your profile and start again. In Firefox, you can get around this by force-refreshing the page but Chrome is fickle like that. It'll be lurking in Chrome/your profile as that is responsible for maintaing state indepedently of the remote system.

    In alternative factual projections, one needs to choose me a telescreen for man's new living room.

    I'm having this issue too. Chrome's not asking me to save a new password, and it just keeps only remembering the old one. Annoying.

    I've moved to Norway. Internet in halls is Ethernet only. Can I channel that wirelessly (on windows)to my Mac/phone?
    I know I can do it from my phone but have never tried on laptop.

    I wont actually get internet until the 9th but any help would be fantastic.

    Also, my air can now read and write to the drive without me doing anything. confused but happy I guess

    Try Connectify (google it). I think you can get a free 3-month PRO key if you're a student. Works very well for me.

    The smaller the room, the bigger the TV that is required. A 60" backlit TV is best viewed from 5cm away.

    I "take entry" (:sexface:) in a couple of weeks so will remind myself of the living room measurements and hopefully choose something.

    128GB SSD for £49.99. Absolute bargain!!

    Ebuyer Ebay:

    I know people will moan and say slow, blah blah, but compared to a HDD the difference will still be incredible, the difference between a fast and 'slow' SSD is tiny compared to that of a HDD and an SSD.

    The ads at the side of the homepage...which have now disappeared. IDs of takeover-left and takeover-right.

    I assume this is something TSR will be running every now and again?
