However I will be surprised if and when these modules are offered in the US at the prices you suggest.
You be surprised then. A lot of tech companies seem to think that the exchange rate is about US$1=£1.
For examplce, pricewatch.com tells me you can get a P4 1.5GHz for $110, while pricewatch.co.uk says £103.40 (ex. VAT, actual retail price is that +17.5%) which is $164.82 at current exchance rates (xe.com currency converter.)
I remember, seeing such things, but I can't remember the name. OTOH, any VB point-and-click monkey could make one in half an hour, so there were probably quite a lot of them about.
Ahhh, RAS syndrome (Redundent Acronym Syndrome syndrome.) It's a shame you didn't include any example of redundent RAS syndrome, which are a bit rarer.
Yeah, but consider this: Two retailers, A & B, are selling toner cartidges. All other things being equal, if they sell for the same price they will probably have half the market each. If A cuts the price they sell the cartridges for, the will gain sales at the expense of B. Thus, A's sales will rise, B's will fall, but the total number of cartridges sold will remain about the same. Obviously, the real amrket is more complex - there are more than two retailers, and price is not the only factor in people's choice of retailer, but the principle still holds, surely?
So, are retailers engaged in illegal price fixing, or have none of them spotted the obvious way to increase sales by cutting prices on ink cartridges a bit?
A dirty bomb would be an excelent terrorist weapon. The fact that the chaos one would cause is due to people's misunderstanding of the physics is irrelevent. It would cause chaos and panic in the general public, and that can be an excelent tool for terrorists.
People believing that a dirty bomb is more dangerous than a 'non-dirty' bomb is enough to make it more dangerous by making people panic more.
Power switch?
Luxury!
I 'ave to peddle my exercise bike connected to a generator to drive the STM, while I spin the disk platters with my 'ands.

And yes, someone really has made a peddle-powered generator
The key to the left of 1 has `¦ on it, | is on backslash. The other key with 3 characters is 4, which also has $ and (on fairly new keyboards) All the vowels actually have four characters, eg eEéÉ, which is why they didn't put the euro sign on E
Don't forget ¦ which is also on the ` and key (it's not a pipe, that's |) The UK keyboard is insane - there are two keys with three characters on them, and five with four)
The problem is simple. No flitering is perfect. Why shouldn't kids from Scunthorpe be preveted from finding out about their home town? Or those doing research on birds finding out about the Blue Tit (or any of the other Tits?) Or reading this post, or yours?
Oh yes there are. Such as one-time pad. However, it's rather tricky to generate and disribute the keys, which must be random and as long as the message.
The Royal Mail sell stamps by mail order, and they will deliver abroad. So, find out how much postage will cost on their Airmail price list (Argentina is zone 1 for their pricing system) and then buy the stamps necessary online. They'll even throw in the airmail stickers for free;-)
Only confusing if you're a retarded gimp. I can't put all of this is words of less that five letters for you, but I'll try (aint I kind?;-) ) Most of the people who are members of the government are also members of one of the House of Commons or the House of Lords. A lot of the members of those Houses are not members of the government. Now, why don't you arrest yourself for picking up the "stupid slashdotter" meme?
Nope, Parliament is not part of the government. The government is made up of all central government (run by government ministers) and local government (run by local authorities.)

The Babelfish with complicated something really is not very intelligent with translation because of the thing

If you rely on babelfish, everything written in another language will sound odd.
Because you can't get a.uk ever
All UK domain names (with three exceptions) are within one of the following: .co.uk - anyone may use .org.uk - anyone may use .net.uk - ISP networks only .plc.uk - UK PLCs .ltd.uk - UK limited companies .me.uk - anyone may use .ac.uk - universities and other higher education bodies .sch.uk - schools (in the form schoolname.areaname.sch.uk) .gov.uk - government usage .mod.uk - military .police.uk - police forces .nhs.uk - National health Service bodies
and the three oddities, .nic.uk - Nominet usage .parliament.uk - they don't have a gov.uk because parliament != government .bl.uk - The British Library, I have no idea why they have this
You're a bit late for that trick. Those were all registered on 14th jan last year, the day.me.uk registrations opened. And, to my sibling post, you don't have to show your name matches the domain you register in.me.uk when you register. Cos I don't think that Adrian Kenanrd is called bugger, or fuck, or sue or.....
Firstly, it would be a.gov.uk, not.govt.uk, but anyway...
There is a reason why they use parliament.uk and not parliament.gov.uk, and that is that parliament is not government. From http://www.parliament.uk/faq/parlgov_faq.cfm
"The Government is the institution that runs the country. It is also known as the Executive. The Government formulates policy and introduces legislation in Parliament. Members of the Government are usually either members of the House of Commons or House of Lords. This enables Parliament to keep a check on their work by asking questions or debating the issues."
The job of Parliament is to make the law, the job of government is to produce draft bills to put before parliament, to implement the law and to run public services.

The Radio Authority licenses commercial radio broadcasts in the UK.
The Radiocommuniactions Agency is "responsible for the management of the non-military radio spectrum in the UK."
At some point this year both jobs are due to be taken over by the new OFCOM, which will also take on the roles currently performed by OFTEL, the Broadcasting Standards Commission, and the Independent Television Commission (see their sites for what they do.)
Well of course not. Everyone know that all lawyers belong to the devil.

The best way to take care of this is to pound the crap out of any nation that harbors terrorists or helps support them.
How about you start at home, and deal with groups funding terrorism which are based in the USA?
Yeah, but consider this:

BTOpenWorld have BTOpenWoe. OK, so it has a "Tales of Wow" section as well as the "Tales of Woe", but you can guess what the focus of the site is.

Yes Parliament is sovereign. Do a search for "Parliamentary sovereignty" if you don't believe me.
