Unfortunately for us Brits, there is a conversion ratio of $1 to £1 when it comes to computer components. In a little experiment, I went onto Dell UK and Dell US websites and built identical XPS desktop systems. When certain components where standard on the US site, I had to upgrade to the same spe...

I somehow doubt that the UK will be changing the benefit / immigrant systems after the attacks on the 7/7, I would like to see a points system as required in many countries (Canada, Australia and New Zealand) for immigrants from any country. But we have our hands tied by the European Union and the E...

Its no different her in the UK as to languages, many of the people here claiming benefits from abroad speak no english! In schools depending on where you live can depend on how your child learns. One example: in London a man withdrew his children from school as they were speaking better Hindu than E...

You can at least begin to understand why diesel cars in the UK are so popular, mine is only a 2.5liter (which is considered a big engine in the UK) turbocharged diesel, and returns 39mpg. Even with that sort of fuel economy, I'm still paying more than £60.00 a week! I travel over 400 miles to and fr...

If paying $3.00 a gallon for petrol in America seems expensive, please don't come to England and fill up a car! As you'll simply collapse and die of a heart attack because of the price of a gallon in the UK. Converting dollars to pounds, $3.00 = £1.65. But the US gallon is different in volume to a U...

Congratulations to the Shuttle crew!
Just watched the shuttle make a perfect landing in near darkness at the Kennedy air force base http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4134986.stm . I know its bad enough getting something that glides very well to make a perfect landing, as for that beauty travelling at 200MPH, takes skill. Americans sh...

The biggest arguement here, is when a child a child? Do we use age as a rule (we do for most things) or the maturity of the child? (I must add that I am talking about teenagers, not children of 7 years or even 10 years old - although kids are having sex at that tender age - hope mines not one of the...

This could be an exercise similar to a very early computer manufacturer called Sinclair back in the 80's. They produced computers called ZX Spectrums (I don't know if they were available in the USA), which basically had faulty memory chips installed. The memory chips consisted of a lower and upper h...

When the original XBox came out, it was on the shelves for considerably less than it cost to make. I would be very surprised if the XBox 360 costs less to make than the price tag it will have when it finally reaches the shelves. Manufacturers make most of their revenue on licenses for the games bein...

File-sharers suffer major defeat!
The US Supreme Court has ruled that file-sharing companies are to blame for what users do with their software. The surprise ruling could start a legal assault on the creators of file-sharing networks such as Grokster and Morpheus. The case was brought by 28 movie and music makers who claimed that r...

The application of DRM embedded in the processors and motherboards, has been on the cards for a long time. I remember reading an article going back 3 years now, stating the precise scenerio. As far as I'm concerned, providing AMD do not transverse down this road, they will only benefit from such a m...
