There doesn't seem to be a way to have this stuff useful across multiple devices without storing interesting information about you somewhere... Chrome syncing your bookmarks and history and auto-fill stuff is very neat but you have to let Google store the data to get this for example.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Like most people, I've always been too lazy and unmotivated to spend ages tinkering with linux distros, and in fairness Windows 7 isn't too bad stalk-wise. But now I think it will be worth seriously considering linux next time I upgrade, especially as these distros are becoming easier to install and maintain and I gather driver support has markedly improved.Last edited by OwlHoot; 4 August 2015, 16:54.Work in the public sector?
