Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

72834: Free upgrade to W10 runs out in 4 days

Hence my question, Hays.

Still getting my head around some of the settings and apps within W10 but it does seem to be faster and quite solid.

Having tried out several Cloud backup systems (Amazon Prime, Google, Acronis) I'm currently in the middle of trying out BT Cloud, which latter I think is going to be my choice. It does seem to be extremely easy to use but I am tring to familiarise myself with its fine points.

I do like the fact that with BT Cloud you can synchronise your phone and other hardware with your BT Cloud Account and do 'backup-on- the-go automatically'., although i'm still learning how to set things up. Cloud storage this does seem to be the way forward. Additionally, you can let family members easily share the info' that's in the Cloud too.

In years to come, people everywhere are all going to enjoy one enormously massive Wikipedia type thingy and collective storage of all and any kind of information.

Within a few hours we can already all become quite expert on just about any topic you care to choose - using the power and magic of the Internet.

eg. My wife told me about a lady she was talking to for quitre a while whilst dog walking. She has met her several times before and they have struck up a bit of a friendship. Anyhow, apparently, the other lady has problems 'down there'. My wife tells me, how when she heard this she just had to smile to herself. It turns out that the lady suffers with Endemetriosis and, as such, has painful periods. My wife has a look on Google about this and 'almost instantly' knows more about this lady's period problems than the lady does herself. This other lady is a bit 'old school' and can't easily talk about her problems; neither is she on the internet so she can't easily learn about her problem either.

BUT...one does have to be careful, I think. It is so easy to come over to others as being a 'know-it-all' and thus be labelled 'patronising'.

US ELECTIONS
a truly awful choice between a loudmouthed redneck with nothing to commend him and a considerably less than clean professional politician with many skeletons in the cupboard

I think 'know-it-all' is where it will all end up.

And they will!

Haze,

Are you confused or jealous?

Another quote for you to ponder, unless the is party dogma prevents you.


-=-==

"Agnosticism is a perfectly respectable and tenable philosophical position; it is not dogmatic and makes no pronouncements about the ultimate truths of the universe. It remains open to evidence and persuasion; lacking faith, it nevertheless does not deride faith.

Atheism, on the other hand, is as unyielding and dogmatic about religious belief as true believers are about heathens. It tries to use reason to demolish a structure that is not built upon reason; because, though rational argument may take us to the edge of belief, we require a "leap of faith" to jump the chasm."

assaulting boys in juvenile detention.

No.

Just as mad as it always has been, but we are now more aware of the madness due to the media and internet.

for once i concur

I think Europe's madder and it's going to get madder still.

Self-perception is a marvellous thing.

Manuel,

Now, you are beginning to worry me.

RE - Just as mad as it always has been

No

you did not hear so many atrocities in one day or weeks, two years ago though the internet and TV
has been around much much longer than that.
