Well you'll get my vote, I won't vote Labour after the mess they've made, Conservatives lost my vote with the idea of using Google to store our personal data, Lib Dems have been useless running my council, BNP will never get my vote, I usually end up voting Green, so having another choice is great.
This may not be applicable to you but recently I was looking for several e-books and found the price stupidly high, I can buy a paperback for £3.99 but an e-book costs $16.00,to me this makes no sense, producing a paper based book and distributing it is surely more expensive than producing an electronic version, don't the publishers get the book in electronic form from the authors anyway? Where are the costs?
Off topic, I also find extremely frustrating that most books I want are not available in electronic form, and some that are are restricted to the U.S. and Canada, I could understand this for new books but not ones published in 2004. I have resorted at times to downloading torrents of books I own already as paperbacks, this probably isn't legal either but it satisfies my moral code
It seems that nearly every 'free' deal these days is only for US residents, maybe I should move, then again I'm sure it wont be long before the UK becomes US state anyway.

I was thinking the exact same thing, they would need the original voice cast though, and then they could TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

Well I'm on Virgin Media in the UK and neither IA or the WayBack Machine work, maybe some pages have been censored I don't know.

I used the wiki as NASA don't update the official one very quickly, and as I made the build which was sent to NASA, that was on the wiki first too ;)
