The new Google Chrome web browser has been out for a while now, and as usual I've waited until the beta issues got out of the app.

I'm giving this a whirl at the moment and have to say its not too shabby. But perhaps slightly disturbing right this minute is the amount of activity my HDD is showing :nta: I'll review that... The memory footprint isn't too bad but at just over 60Mb in total is a bit hefty for what is supposed to be a slim browser. Still, after the grief I had with FF3 its not bad to look at a browser that just does the interwebby thing well.

*sigh*

Google trying to be all things to all men.

Looks good, works well, but your'e right. It's a ten pound gorilla. Also odes some weird stuff with formatting (which is annyoying since it's enough of a challenge to build sites that are 100% compatibale with IE and Moz).

Too much google is really not a good thing.

Well it won't do the VPN to work via Citrix - installs the beta Java version that is rated for Chrome but still complains that the plugin isn't there. Still, the work VPN hates FF2 & 3 as well. So I'm still stuck with IE regardless...

So that's what I sound like when I talk jargon to my patients! No idea what you're saying, Nick, but damn, it sounds impressive! ;D

That's not jargon, this is jargon.

What is science telling us about materialism? In this paper I argue that science has already shown that emergent materialism is true. There are two phenomena that are crucial. First of all we will see that there are emergent causal powers in that organised wholes have causal powers that their constituents lack. Secondly we will see that it is often possible to get mereological explanations of these emergent causal powers. In this paper I develop an account which can accommodate both of these phenomena. The basic idea behind it is to base the emergence of mereologically novel causal powers in the organisation of the parts. I will argue that such a "structuralist" metaphysics both fits what science is telling us about the world (at least in some instances) and is materialistic.

I keep a little file of my favourite conference abstracts. It keeps me sane.

Thanks boyo, must have taken a long time to find this thread seeing it was six years ago that it was last used!

My wife will be happy about this as she's forever complaining that I complain too much about my laptop being too slow what with all the open tabs I have on it at any given time!
