Q. My taskbar is on auto-hide. Whenever on my desktop, it shows when i move the mouse to the bottom. But when i'm in google chrome, it won't show when i move to the bottom and it's really frustrating because i'm constantly switching between programs. How do I fix it w/o changing my taskbar to lock? I like it at auto-hide.
A. Are you using Microsoft Windows or Linux either a MAC? If you working on Windows this might be an issue with the system. Not with a Google Chrome whatsoever.
How can I make google chrome save more than 1 week of history?
Q. Like some option or add on that would allow chrome to save up to months of history would be awesome.
A. It actually saves the last 10 weeks and there is no way to change it.
This article applies to the Google Chrome browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebooks.
Use the History page to view a list of websites you've ever visited in the last 10 weeks while using Google Chrome in standard mode. This page doesn't store pages from secure websites, those you've visited in incognito mode, or those you've deleted from your browsing history.

what are the downsides of using a linux machine vs windows?
Q. im thinking about going to linux, but what about games and programs? will they still work on linux? what are some problems or downfalls with linux?
A. You do not need knowledge of command line stuff.
No the programs you are talking about will not work.
Games especially! Several do. Go to wine HQ and crossover Linux to get a list.
You do not need any windows programs as there are alternatives and more of them. Most of them are better and all are from a trusted source. They are accessed via a program that accesses a 'repository' ran by Ubuntu (for example). This means no downloading viruses. No viruses is a huge feature.
You are going to have to go to google for lists of programs because it is just too much to list.
Actually here are some for you. The first one is a list of programs that you use from the command line. You wouldn't use these unless you were interested in programming or running a computer the professional way. It is good to be able to use some of them. typing df tells how much free space is on your file system and typing du lets you know where all your memory is used (which files or directories are what size). As you can see it is very good to know some. The second one is daemons which are background processes. The others are real applications.

Ubuntu really is the best operating system available. If you want to play games get a PS3 and a keyboard, put linux on it, connect to the web and play to your hearts content then have the full entire functionality of a PC!
People are scared because they think you get what you pay for and they are correct except when companies start getting power hungry, controlling, abuse the trust of consumers and blatantly break consumer laws etc. People fight back. I would normally tell you about a few of the most hacked devices ever and the pattern of behaviour that leads to this happening. But I have to leave.
Read a little about Linux and why it works. The experts make it then we all use on it out different machines and tell them what is wrong. They fix it. Some of us like the whole idea and join them in one way or another. I can't wait until I am good enough a programmer to get more involved. You can even just post good ideas. If you use Firefox 3.5 you will see that it has some features 'borrowed' from Google Chrome. Someone used Chrome and said we want that. I asked for some features to be added to Ubuntu the other day and voted on some ideas already posted. The most popular are the ones the programmers try to produce. etc etc etc
That is how it works. Linux (and Unix) GNU and some of the 'utilities' have been around for 20 years and more and started their lives in Universities. There are over 1 million contributors to Linux and Unix worldwide.
You usually get what you pay for. So if you get Linux do what you can to help and promote it.
try this first - you need 5GB spare disk space - it uninstalls completely in a minute or so!
