I installed daemon tools and it gave chrome and mozilla a lot of malicious software.I removed them but since I needed some things to do with internet I used microsoft edge which was safe for that time and fast.Sometimes I m thinking it s better to use something that not many people use to do your job.

As long as you realise that it's probably because of a bug that makes the settings routines not work.

It probably has more to do with MS removing its old addon APIs last summer and not having gotten around to implementing the new one yet. 
Once they get around to adding web extension support you'll be able to enjoy the same flavor of crapware that your Chrome was infested with. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yeah. Most people don't use their brains to do their jobs, or any activity for that matter.

Well that sucks. 
Seems Brian is losing his hearing and can't sing for the band any longer.
I fear the band will retire here soon, after a performance or two with knuckle head as the new singer.

I also think this is not a good solution. One of the hallmarks of ACDC was always that also the vocals was always special, something squeeze between singing and "croak". "Croak" is not meant to be derogatory, it fits unique.
Axel sings too "high sophistcated" for ACDC. Again nothing against Brian, I prefer him for ACDC.

They are losing a singer who can't hear anymore and replacing him with a singer who can't sing anymore.

FFS, first of april is more than two weeks ago. 
I had problems already with Brian Johnson replacing Bon Scott.

I think the question is more do they cancel or not. To not cancel they had to find a rock vocalist for the tour! If I had of paid for tickets to have them cancelled, I d of been refunded the ticket minus all the middle men fees and seen no show!! In this case I see ACDC performing with a great rock vocalist plus the back up bands! I'd still feel I got value for money in this scenario!

That is highly debatable. Axl can't sing like he used to, IMHO. Just saying...

At top of the lounge is a sticky post that states some rules for posting in the lounge. In the last little while it seems that the rules have gone out the window. There have been discussions about sex and religion and blatant personal attacks. The worse is that this comes from long time members who should know better.
The powers that be have provided a forum for discussing sex and religion and the personal attacks are not suppose to be here at all.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

yes, I wondered if it was just me being sensitive and thought "I'll bite my tongue" - but the post beginning with 'Hello Infidels' is just wrong, anywhere, in my books - it doesnt matter that the poster probably has used that to mean 'unbeliever of Pastafarian', there's just so many other ways it can be mis-interpreted

I can't even find that one.

It absolutely does matter that the poster probably has used that to mean 'unbeliever of Pastafarian'.
You could ban every word in the English (and every other) language, by following the rule you're suggesting.
"If a word could be misinterpreted, it is banned from the Lounge!"
An entire genre of jokes is about making the listener think/feel one thing, then turning it around, and that is what this was.
Or are you saying that we don't just ban every word in the language, but also all jocularity?
(I've gotta admit, though, that there have been people whom I wished had been banned from telling jokes, in here)

not at all Mark - I agree with PJ, that there's a place here on CP for sex, politics & religion, and thats where some of the recent posts belong
Quote: You could ban every word in the English (and every other) language, by following the rule you're suggesting.
certainly you could, but I wasnt aware I was suggesting 'banning' it or jocularity - its all about context isnt it - in the lounge (context), I'd tolerate a frank, adult, educated discussion on any/all words that others would find inflammatory (but even having a frank/adult/educated discussion wouldnt guarantee that someone else wouldnt take offence  )

Well, I doubt that "infidel" is inflammatory to anyone who's watched Carry On movies -- and, since it's a foreign word, wouldn't banning it be racist, unless English synonyms were also banned?
Censorship is a can of worms that we really should avoid opening. This group is global. If you start letting everyone introduce (and probably cause fights about) words that go against their religious and/or political preferences, we really will have few words left to use.
... But there would be no-one coming here to use them, so I suppose it's yin-yangy enough.
I don't use words that offend me, obviously, but if I inadvertently use a word that offends you, Fred in Dubrovnik, Charlie in Patagonia, or John-Boy in Japan, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
Good example, here: An American in another group (must be over 20 years ago, now) decided to take a poke at me for using the word "Chinaman".
I had to point out to him that I was an Englishman, who lived West of the Dutchmen, East of the Welshmen and Irishmen, North of the Frenchmen, and South of the Scotsmen -- and that his people's mistreatment of several immigrant races, and the verbal taboos that ensued from it, had **** all to do with me.
