You're right, it is 'basic consumer rights', but how many other companies do you know who would have kicked up a fuss, or got the machine fixed, probably with a 2 week+ turnaround?
I recently had to take my Intel Mac Mini back to the London Regent Street store after a problem booting up. Unfortunately it was one day after the 14-day refund and replace guarantee had expired. They said, 'oh well, 15 days is close enough', and they replaced it there and then on the spot, and transferred all my data on to the new machine on the same day. I don't think I've ever experienced anything like that with any other company ever.
I even emailed the on duty editor before the article was posted to warn him.

No.
The question is asked to a person who uses their skill in using the search engine to get the required answer.
Surely asking a question to a library or a telephone will not answer you back!
...I refuse let low-life scum dictate how I can use
my address...
That's a bit harsh isn't it? I was just explaining how I look after my email address so that I don't have to sift through that tons of crap just to find the interesting messages.
...many people I don't know have emailed me over the years after coming across old posts,...
Surely Usenet is a better place if replies are posted back to the newsgroup, rather than just the individual. My newsreader lets me search by posts I've appended to.
I've never really had a problem from spam.I've never given my email address out on usenet, for example, and I rarely sign up for things like 'daily news updates from wearestilltryingtogetoverdotcombubbleburst.com' or whatever.
It just seems to me that if people looked after their email address, and that no matter what happens, people understand that their penis won't get larger, no matter how many times they click on the link, then they would reap the benefit of a spam-free inbox sooner rather than later.
Am I the only one who is glad New Zealand is on the other side of the planet, and faaaar enough away from any 'normal' civilisations??

That's the whole point of the article!!!
Obviously, air needs to be circulated, and fans do this rather well. Getting the fans to do an efficient job as quietly as possible (including volt modding, which was the most sucessful addition to the system) is the whole idea for a "silent PC".
Because AXA are paying Google, so that when someone searches for 'AXA', they get a (sponsored) link to their site. However, Google will also give other sponsored links in context to what was searched for... in this case being insurance, so it shows competitors.
That's not why they're doing it. They have hired him because he has proved he is good at what he does. Microsoft know that having him on their 'side' will bring in more revenue, which is the aim of most businesses, isn't it?

They look the same to me
On 1 October 2004, The Victoria University Of Manchester and UMIST merged to form The University Of Manchester. The new site is here
And they say Yanks don't understand irony....
Is it the accent?
mostly.
But it says...
Please don't push this button
Not a very interesting site...
Just a button you can't push!?!?!
No.

My vote goes for FAT16.

Interesting article...
I'm looking forward to when I'm not a student and have a proper job so that I can afford to do something remotely like this!
I can see some kid sat on a bridge with a laptop controlling the cones in a style like Toy Story 2.
What's got three legs, walks backwards, and goes 'cluck cluck'?
A chicken kiev of course!
Yes, you're right... I thought that they were on the sponsored links on the right hand side too. Apologies!
