I don't know, but perhaps we (the UK) could ask the US of A (politely, of course) to remove their facilities from Ascension Island, Diego Garcia and Fylingdale etc. That might grab their attention. We could then follow that up by pulling all our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. I agree with Solo; if you are not American then you are, potentially, an enermy, which includes the UK. I see little advantage in the so-called special relationship, and whenever I hear friendly words from the American administration I am reminded of this clip from the film Outlaw Josey Wales: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfdpcrOgUp4 Kind regards, Bob

I wonder about the fate of the 300 or so Charter 08 signatories!

I agree with Brodie, speed reading with reasonable comprehension works (in my case), but leaves the color of contemplation, grayed. Even with technological information, it matters to contemplate. So if you must, you speed read. If you have the time, don't:-)

You should try and keep power and signal cables separate although not a must. If you have an UPS and start operation from that the DC to AC converter with its higher EMI maybe a problem but have not found a specific case. TV cables are double shielded and unlike MIL spec cables with a shielding effectiveness of 45 db they have 90 db. I think that is the same for some of the PC special hook up cables you pay $$ for. In the EMC world this is called category separation. If you want some boring reading look at MIL STD 461 and 462. I like the small plastic straps with stick on where you can place where you want. For course they do not stay forever

We'll see what happened in the next Google year review in December 2011...

honestly judging by this video, the positive aspects of the year really were not very positive. From a global perspective i reckon 2010 has been a terrible year. Personally my year hasn't been too bad for which im thankful. Lets hope things pick up next year before the end of the world in 2012

fabulous imagery, i havent seen much on legacy yet, but i noticed they've given the bikes more real-life physics. What i loved about the original was the impossible right hand turns, it just felt much more like how a computer would handle such an event. Still the design looks very nice and im looking forward to seeing this sequel/reboot

And if you go here @unknownuser said: We're thrilled to be able to have MoI as part of the Alibre product line moving forward.

Ah! Missed that one on my sabbatical.

Guys, Rich O'Brien has posted a comprehensive 'hands on' review of the DAVID Laserscanner kit, here, http://news.sketchucation.com/david-laserscanner-review/ Mike

yes..that's the one. i've already requested an obj, he's having difficulty getting them to release the model at all though. thanks for looking into it, pete.

Oh dear. Still, a brilliant idea. I think perhaps it was technology too ahead of its time? I still think that it could work.
