Run a google search for “billboard” and find out. :P Seriously, they’re responsible for something like 70% of the web advertising market, they don’t really need to increase market share. If Chrome has some massive ulterior motive other than helping kill Internet Explorer (which it doesn’t, necessarily; Google coders spend an unprecedented amount of time doing what most employers refer to as “wasting time” on personal projects), it’s that they want to increase their ad targeting capabilities. Read the ToS for Chrome…you basically give them a license not only to use, but to publish, any information you submit through their browser. Web queries, forum posts, you name it, they’re legally allowed to access it. That gives them PHENOMENAL scope, especially compared to Firefox, where you can even anonymize your google-search cookies so that they can’t track you from search to search.

They already have a great billboard, and Chrome doesn’t really add to that (though of course, compared to Firefox it has more ads, due to the lack of Adblock or Adblock Plus). Chrome is simply better data gathering - they can target their ads to you with greater specificity than ever before.

Wear a Guy Fawkes mask ALL THE TIME. The hair on those is kinda like your pre-donation hair, nobody will notice.

Don’t know you, just got the link from xeno’s post, like most of the other people here, but congratulations! He’s a great guy and I hope it works out well.

Well ****, dude…

(Yes, I’ve been resurrected, though temporarily in my case, as well)

Sounds like quite a mess. Good luck getting through it…I’m sure you can. If there’s anything we can supply other than the usual moral support, let us know. Otherwise, keep us posted!

Great to hear from you, by the way. Not having been here when you left, I was worried.

Sunlight.

Listen to pseudoniem.

True ! But then, it is there and causing problems,can you elaborate please ?[/quote]

Do I really need to go into that much detail? All the different disasters in the Middle East, the catastrophe that is American foreign policy, genital mutilation…

I live in LA, and you don’t want to.

I am going to take the firm stance that the original poster was joking. For Christ’s sake, he mentioned the lapel pin bullshit.

Vote #2 for cosplay! ;-)

There are better things the site’s maintainers’ time could be spent on. If they want to implement new features, I’d suggest making the chatroom accessible via some sort of chat protocol (Jabber’s always nice) so we don’t have to rely on the rather crappy UI provided.

I’ve gotten the same feeling with observing myself. Not big on 20s erotica though.

Bye! :-)
