People don't think about the resale value when buying CDs. An existing second-hand market has no effect on sales of new CDs, other than to eliminate a purchase whenever someone buys a used CD.
I don't think that a buoyant used CD market has much effect on the price of new CDs since the resale value doesn't figure in the buying decision. People buy CDs because they want the music, not to hedge their losses later on. Your argument works for things like new cars or houses, but not for music.
Thanks for the info. I do no more than take snapshots with a cheap digicam, although I do find photography interesting. My late father had a Rollei medium format (70mm?) camera from the 1960's, there is an album full of photographs he took in Cyprus when he was in the army. I remember him telling me stories of them using X-Ray paper to blow the prints up to poster size (he said the quality was crap though). One of these days I'll get the camera out and have a go at some monochrome shots of my industrial hometown.
You say that 400 speed film is fine for all but the brightest scenes.
Is there a problem with using fast film in bright light? I would have thought that the camera would just reduce the aperture and exposure time. Do you just mean that it's better to use finer grain film when possible, or is this something to do with getting greater depth of field by using a larger aperture?
Don't worry about Exim, it's a red herring. The woody installer offers several alternatives when it comes to setting up a mailserver, including running one for local system messages only (I guess it just listens on the loopback interface) and not installing one at all.
Sometimes you can listen to it streamed from BBC7, along with other classic SF, drama and comedy. Also, do yourself a favour and check out "I'm sorry, I haven't a clue". Pure genius, rather rude and broadcast at teatime on Radio 4 in the UK.
Theoretically required to stop? You are quite right that many vehicles don't stop, but if through inattention a driver badly injures or kills a pedestrian on a crossing, they will likely go to jail. The pedestrian has right of way once they have stepped onto the roadway, but I always stop for people who are waiting.
It also has connotations of chaos, or at least lack of rigid organisation. In the UK, after a night in a busy nightclub, you might say 'It was murder getting a drink, there was a real scrum at the bar'.
That's because they aren't preaching to the converted. They want as many people as possible to read their reports, especially those not using MS software.
I haven't used it much, just set it up for one of the managers. It's difficult to tell, but it feels as though the CPU is the bottleneck. There were no signs of it swapping a great deal (that is, it never had to spool the desktop background back in from disk). The machine felt slow even when just running Word and Outlook. The sales guy also complained that the screen was too small if he wanted to show stuff to clients.
I had to download a couple of patches, one to fix a problem with the power button not operating when USB devices were plugged in. Maybe it just made a bad impression on me, but I'd say go with a standard notebook and save yourself some money. The handwriting recognition wasn't anything to write home about either (no pun intended).
Google for T-1000 discussion forum to find the counter view, there seem to be many people who are happy with their tablet PCs.
Just realised, it's a TC-1000. The original poster fooled me into describing it as a Terminator:-)

It's pedantic, not pendantic.

Yeah, I'm an asshole too

I'm probably being proprietorial here, but being English, I'd like to see a few British faces in the cast. Especially for Arthur.
A lot of British TV comedy *is* crap, that's why gems like The Office stand out and generate discussions like this.

They could just do a Marvin costume with the actor's head at chest level, like those giant cartoon character costumes you see in theme parks.
I suppose that will depend if the execs are prepared to risk a show that takes time to be appreciated.

You'd probably hear about it in the middle of the night, too!

... it just means that you are older than most :-)
Maybe you can persuade someone else in work to get one, then you can try it with no risk :-)

The T-1000 (1GHz Crusoe) we have in work is quite sluggish under WinXP. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else, too unresponsive for my liking.
I think it's more likely that running a non-DRM OS will just mean that you can't view certain media. No massive loss to me anyway.
How was Military Academy then?
You can sell the beer if you want, you just have to give your customers access to the recipe so they can then produce and maybe sell their own beer.
It would be MI6, MI5 is domestic counter-intelligence and security (hah).
Our cordless handset has a warning sticker advising one to have an ordinary wired phone available in case of emergency.
Why is it so shocking? As a British citizen I have no doubt that your country keeps a covert eye on us, and we do the same to you.
