I enjoyed the time Lededje spends in the Culture proper, it was nice to get some more view into what life is like for the everyday Culture citizen. The War in Heaven was compelling for me too. Really the only part that fell flat was Yime Nsokyi’s story, but it fell very flat indeed for me. It’s been a couple months since I read it and it’s hard for me to remember what impact, if any she ended up having on any of the other plotlines.

When you installed skype you also installed a skype plugin on your default browser. Click on "tools" in IE, then "manage add-ons". from Toolbars and extensions, scroll down to find "Skype click to Call". Click the item and choose "disable". On older browsers it may say "remove" or "uninstall". hope this helps There is an easier solution. When you installed skype you also installed a skype plugin on your default browser.

The auto-complete feature won't allow me to put in names, if they are not in my friends list, and keeps overiding what I try to insert with other peoples names.
