    But we ALREADY HAVE an efficient moron-reduction programme, it's called the ARMY. Dullards who can't get a a normal job get locked up in barracks, sent overseas and are then friendly-fired to death by clueless, trigger-happy Americans.

    I thought EVERYONE knew this?

    I'm assuming that you DIDN'T read the article? The iPod Mini is highly competitive, what else needs to be said? if you don't want one, don't buy one.

    I don't so I won't, but it looks like a competitive product nonetheless.

    Stones are used in the same way shoe and dress sizes are used, they have no relation to anything other than people's body size.

    As for retaining miles, ALL the road markings are in miles and MPH, it would cost a FORTUNE to replace them - though I rather think new speed limit signs should be bi-measure. In fact, a conversion from imperial to metric for the roads would give a great opportunity for a new speed limit system with higher highs and lower lows.

    I suppose it was Bush's difficulty in dealing with written information that stopped him learning who the president of India was, or Pakistan?

    You can pretend that Bush is just a genius masquerading as a dimwit all you want, but if he looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, chances are he is a fucking duck.

    I suspect that you're correct, though I also think Firewire has proven itself an excellent architecture in that niche. My two home PowerMacs have an IP over Firewire (400) connection - it's FASTER than Gig E in practice - I also use Firewire for an external HD, DV camcorder, scanner and a webcam. It's an excellent method for all these applications, and would be better still if I could connect my printer and stills camera over the same interface.

    Thanks for that link. So I understand that I was RIGHT, USB is in the process of being adapted to support a mode equivalent to something that's been available easily over Firewire for about 5 years...

    And all this because people would rather pay licence fees to Intel than to Apple? Idiotic. When are developers going to realise that standrds balkanisation helps NO-ONE in the medium or long term.
