I bought a Dyson DC01 when they where first released, it was an excellent vacuum cleaner probably around 1993/1994 after two years the motor failed, I rang the company up to see how much a repair would cost and they fixed it for free.

Around 2004 we replaced it with a DC07 which we are still using.

The company projects a good ethos and talks about the importance of engineering. A+ will buy again eventually.

It is at 2,933,450 signatures which is an indication of how pissed off people are.
When it is at 17,410,743 then I will feel happy that it happens. Before then I will try and get more people to sign it.

You think I would want to be rich and famous...

I would also limit it to a single world and not simulate all the abundance of planets we had spread to just to reduce the computational load.

I emailed 3 of my MEP's and I have received this reply form one

Thank you for this. No, Andrew was not aware of this matter; but we have since looked into it and indeed discovered that although a great deal of confusion reigned over the vote in question the extra voters appear not to have affected the material outcome. At any rate, as you know, the final legislative votes will take place in plenary and not in committee, and my Liberal colleagues will ensure that we will table appropriate amendments.

You may be interested, therefore, in my recent proposal to change the rules of procedure of the House to insist on roll call votes at every legislative vote at committee stage (see website).

Thank you again for writing.

Yours sincerely,

As an aside I have had a media server that the children use for the last 7 years ( since the youngest was 4 ). But just say no to televisions in their bedrooms.

Kobo have excellent customer service. I bought one for my son when I was in the states last year.
My son broke the screen, I told Kobo that it was broken because of misuse and they still replaced it. Paying for both parts of the international shipping. If they where selling them to the UK or I was popping over soon I would buy a Vox.
Kobo make good open standards systems. Maybe a little fragile and cheap feeling but they are cheap and have great customer service.

So I thought I had posted this but obviously I had not. This happened on the 10th of October this year at the Fulborn Tesco in Cambridge. I will not be shopping at Tesco for the foreseeable future
I wanted to buy some anti-histamines and some painkillers so I ended up buying three tins of chocolates 6 packs of anti-histamines and two packets of paracetamol and two packets of ibuprofen. I did try to buy some more but something happened....
I was using a self service register and they always annoy. So someone came over when I put the third pain killer though the till and they said I wasn’t allowed to buy more than two painkillers in a single transaction. So I completed that transaction and started another one for the next two packets. I completed that and had started another when I was told that I was not allowed to buy any more. I asked why and they said it was company policy.
Basically I ended up being surrounded by the manager for the checkouts, the deputy manger for the store and a security guard. And they wouldn’t let me leave the store with the medicines I had bought, they kept on saying it was against company policy. When the store manager turned up I started recording this on my ipod, I told them I was doing this and they told me to stop because of company policy I refused. I was really shaking and felt very intimidated and unwell I also left my card in the card reader I was so shaken. I have about 10 minutes of audio where they will not let me leave the store with the items I had purchased. I did ask them to ring the police when the said they really were not going to let me out of the shop with the medicines I had bought. Eventually the manager said it was the medicines act and I think he said 1998 but I can only find an 1968 medicines act which googling implies that it limits the drugs that shops which are not pharmacies are allowed to sell. I did then give him the extra packets of paracetamol and ibuprofen but refused a refund as I just wanted to leave the shop. This has really shaken myself and my 10 year old son who was with me up.
Even if I wasn’t allowed to buy the medicines are they allowed to stop me from leaving the building ? I did pop into the police station later in the day to ask if they were allowed to detain me and they said it was a civil mater. I also asked the police if Tesco had rung them and they refused to answer.

Well they is an an alternative firmware and they support open standard book format. http://ebookapplications.com/ However I did buy a kobo for my son because it was cheaper....

Buy something that supports epub. I would look at the Sony range, Kobo reader and the nook. I own a Sony, I have just bought my son a Kobo reader. Its worth knowing htat the DRM on epub is deflatable and code exists to allow you to easily remove it.

That is not what they mean, different frequencies are stopped by different amounts of tissue. eg X-Rays are stopped by bone.

The skin image I believe is a product of the scatter. That radiation is an absorbed by the skin is because of the high frequency compared with X-Rays. I believe the accuracy of the image is a product of the frequency as well.

Indeed you would expect most cancers to be skin cancers as you say most of these are less serious than other forms.
I have just been though airport security and the security really felt if it was for show and not for functionality.

One comment was that because all the radiation is "reflected" off the skin then the effective does at the skin is much higher than that of a normal X-ray which is distributed across the body.
