Didn't you know that anything done by Scientists can be portrayed as Evil. It just takes a little creative editing and complete lack of common sense or scruples.

To be fair some things that scientists do are truly horrific - vivisection anyone?

If for the right reasons I have no issues with it I would rather they experiment on animals 1st, get it right and then on humans rather than on humans 1st

Why is it as soon as someone is told they have to wait their turn they become an impatient little sh*t?
Client is told that they can't continually email me, so they keep doing it and copy in their boss and moan about how they aren't getting an answer, despite getting a reply requesting more information

Looks like the UK price is not far off the VAT inclusive price. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter. "Let my windows be open to receive new ideas but let me also be strong enough not to be blown away by them." - Mahatma Gandhi.

Scientists have performed vivisection on humans, both in Germany and Imperial Japan.

+1, you'd only get charged 20% VAT when it reached the UK anyway, which actually comes out at £195.

Scan have it for £169 inc VAT, but that's just the SSD without the data transfer kit.

B****y 802.11n! After 30 hours copying, it has copied around 15% of my photo collection to my gf's notebook. Brought it downstairs and connected it to my switch and it has copies 15% in around 2 minutes!
The remaining 72GB should be copied in under an hour, instead of about a week over wi-fi.
Wifi managed 25KB a second, the switch is shovelling over 25MB a second!

Wired networks FTW! Wireless is a wonderful thing under the right circumstances but sometimes you just can't beat a good old bit of ethernet cable.

why, when it's 80 degrees, broad daylight and there isn't a cloud in the sky do a significant percentage of people seem to be driving round the place with their running lights on? Especially audi drivers, with those gormless looking 'fairy light' arrangements.
idiots.

So, basically, they may be "gormless looking fairy lights" but they're complying with EU directives. *shrug* _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

'equipped with' is not the same as 'must travel with them switched on'. And anyone who thinks having running lights on makes a blind bit of difference on a day like this (which, let's remember, is what a good half of the EU is like for about 9 months of the year) is definitely an idiot.
