I once bought 3 PC's from a local company that had done a mass "upgrade", they were 1.8gig Pentiums with sizeable drives (low-level formatted) & oodles of RAM, for the princely sum of one pound sterling each:-) c/w 19" CRT, kb, mouse & speakers. It was cheaper for them than scrapping
Can't say fairer than that:-)
But when I want a new PC for home, I buy from novatech, for the reasons given in above post (no affiliation, have just been buying from them for ever)
All it needs now is a test case, then we can finally (at least here in the UK) get rid of these shrinkwrap licences.
We also need legislation to stop the Monopoly taxing new PC's. I'm lucky in that I use a supplier (Novatech) that will supply PC's without the Micro$haft tax, try buying one anywhere else.
Firstly I'm in the UK, the RIAssA et al can stuff themselves.
Secondly I don't share music. (Yep, that's a full stop!) I'm able to afford to buy any that I take a fancy to. Haven't bought a CD for almost a year now though, prefer to switch on the radio.
Pr0n OTOH:-)
Bonus: We now have the BBC streaming iPlayer, who could ask for anything more?
It's no problem de-bunking the report, Burton are obviously in the pay of the monopoly./. readers know this. The real problem is that corporate high fliers will read it & take it for a "reasoned & studied, impartial report"
I was an extra in the Da Vinci Code, apart from 3 breakfasts & 2 lunches every day, everything else was exceptionally boring. Especially where a bunch of us had to do the same thing 30 times, but in different places, to simulate a big crowd.

Over on this side of the pond we don't need no stinkin spy satellites.....
:-)
Every major city & town is already 90% covered by CCTV. You can't walk from one side of the street to the other without appearing on a CCTV system.
We're already covered.. Say cheese
And if you do, make sure there are no redundant power supplies & it's NOT on a UPS.
I'm sorry Dave...................
Frank Herbert was prescient....
's much better :-)
Less bugs, more enjoyment.
Heh :-)
The amount of rain we get here. :-)
Sorry, will try harder. Honest :-)
Still doesn't work properly. :-)
Ooops, p2p, must be illegal.
Its great man!
But 8.04, it's bloody nice! I downloaded it this afternoon for a play
Wish you were. Less noise.....
Just to give a taste of the potential confusion etc. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_and_Wendy#Copyright_status
It can only get worse.
Disney have a lot to answer for. Veto all Disney products :-)
Because the perception that email is "free" nobody in management really cares. The only thing they worry about is inappropriate stuff.
Yes, they need educating.
I don't think I'd like to be billed by cycle, I live out in the sticks & that would mean an awful lot of pedalling. :-)
It's nothing at all to do with the power cord, the user is looking at pictures of Natalie Portman :-)

Counts us all out then
Time to go to the computer store
Is what they need :-)
Doh, two words.

monopoly money well spent.
Unfortunately not, though, apart from the free food (Copious amounts) the daily rate was quite good.
:-)
Plus the stand in for Audrey was really tasty
It's not all it's cracked up to be.

Pretty soon the tech will be sufficiently advanced that filmakers won't actually need those really expensive actor chappies. Yay :-)
I'm already a firewall admin, mostly iptables with a bit of CheckPoint/Nokia thrown in, this looks like it could be a good purchase. Thanks {:^)
How precisely?
It only passes the acid test when switched into "standards mode", which presumably is not "standard" mode.
