Ahh, i have always loved Marmite, which has a reasonable B12 content, so hopefully that covers me there.
I considered Floradix for awhile (which I guess is similar to floravital), but I asked the nurse last time I gave blood, and my blood seems to have more than enough iron, apparently.
Must be why I am so attracted to magnets (boom-boom)
Which proteins? I ask as I have been a vegetarian for awhile, and I don't take suplemants, nor each much manufactured food, so I would actually be interested in knowing.
This sounds like I am provoking, itching for a fight, which really really isn't how it is meant. I am always interested in how my choice of diet may affect me in future years.
And I'd like to know what I have to thank all the bugs I have eaten for:)
Just thought I'd say - it isn't completely dead in the UK. My local Waitrose has a self scanning thing.
Personally though... I like going through the tills, lots of different little reasons, but i just like it - helps that the local shop seems to only emply hot checkout staff:)
Hmmm, I bought a mac recently. When i went into the local apple dealer to try and get one they had a 4 week back log, *too many* people buying them.
I sat in the shop for awhile, playing with the macs. While i was there about 7 people came in, same as me, always used unix or windows, and wanted a mac. 7 people, but i left after 45 mins (admitedly it was a saturday morning).
I know more and more people buying cheap (ish) iBooks, first time mac users mostly. It seems to me that mac use is going up quite drastically.
Could just be I'm seeing more of them as I am looking, if you get what i mean.
I always thought you Americans had to show a reasonable amount of documentation when opening a bank account, to prove that you were *you*
I have to say that I am English, not American, so I could be talking rubbish (which is not unknown...)
Wired has a rather old article about this, and i remember doing some project work for a large US bank in London for this. No idea if anything came of it though.
(Of course, by the sound of it, from the parent poster, nothing much did come of it)

Second reply to you in about 15 mins...
As is ay above I like PSS and The Scar, and respect your dislike. And I absolutely lurve Gun With Occasional Music, wonderful little book. Maybe both sides of the debate should read it.
Well, that was about as pointless as my last comment, but I felt I needed to say it.
This doesn't really addd anything to the discussion, but hey, why should that stop me.
Well, I loved Perdido, better than The Scar, in my opinion. But I'm glad to hear your opinion kid zeus, I can agree with you entirely, on most of your points I am with you.
There was just something about PSS & The Scar that made me enjoy them entirely, not sure why, which in itself annoys me:)
Apparently the style is similar to that of Mervyn Peakes Gormenghast novels, but they are still sitting on that shelf waiting to be read, taunting me, damn things...
But it's good we don't all like the same things, so good on yer mate.
I can not quote sources, *but i seem to remember* that the Amish and Menonites (sp), were quite into cell phones.
They actually fit into the whole idealogy of technology that these two groups have, in that technology should be the slave of community. In this mode of thought it is a distinct advantage that cell phones are able to be turned off, they do not needlessly interupt personal life, as a 'normal' telephone does, and such like.
I agree re: spamming. Realised after posting that I should have stressed that the mail would have to be directed somewhere where it was expected, and where appropriate action could be taken (maybe if a statistically viable number of people set up spamgourmet type addresses we could just fire these mails off to a circle of black holes...)
Number of people doing this would need to be high. The issue I see is that even if everyone were against RIP, voting the current govt out wouldn't necesarily solve the problem, because the next would just do exactly the same thing (hmm, just call me defeatist). So it would take significant numbers of people, yes.
Ideally a large number of people doing this for just one day a week for a couple of weeks, advertising what is being done and why would send a message.
I do of course know this is never going to happen.
I take the 'what do you have to hide line as a joke, you were joking right. I have nothing to hide, but I have a whole life I wish to keep private.
I do think that the whole thing is self defeating anyway though, the sheer amount of data is so high as to be, I assume, to much to realistically sort through. Maybe somebody with data mining expertise could give us a little overview on whether this is true.

Being a tester I am always interested in new test case management software. When are you going to open the source for yours?
(no files in sourceforge, apparently)

Actually itunes 4.7 breaks hymned files.
It was so much more insightful when space_soldier first said it here
Hmm, this is the third time this story you have ripped off another comment...
I actually have one, an old bakelite one too.
it is a fucking pain to dial out on. But it is a cool as fuck thing to have.
You kind of mention it, but the louche effect is almost completely gone if you use warm water.
I don't really know any chemistry, but i am a Pastis nerd, so it is interesting to me:)
I switched. I seem to have turned into a MacIdiot. Can't believe how much i crow about how good they are.
This from an MS fanboy of just a few years past. It is a very strange thing.
Except, of course, there is Apple too.
Mmm, I love my powerbook.
and the other 10% of us use a bsd variant (OSX myself, seeing as you ask).
Not really that interesting, but there is an ongoing dispute over the name Rendezvous.
You can read a little about it here

It was Edgar Allan Poe, The Purloined Letter
And damn good it is too.

*shrug* just thought I'd say.
I'd suggest asking your question at Sticky Minds (forums require registration - they haven't spammed me yat after a lot of years), or QA Forums.
These are really quite pleasant, so just try the links.

I know it's bad form to reply to yourself and all that, but...
Would you really buy second hand earphones?
I mean, I know the ear cover is replaceable, but still. Euch.
The AC points out the nicest earphones that are cheaply available (IMHO)

Executive... Execute...
Hmmm... they sound kind of similar don't they. Maybe there is a reason for that. May be an executive executes things.
Execute -- To put into effect
Executive -- Of, relating to, capable of, or suited for carrying out or executing

Okay, heres that source I was talking about
