@imipak: Flashback! I remember saving my pocket money to buy White Lightning for the C64, which needed a language replacement much more than the spectrum did. The manual was printed black on red to thwart the photocopyistas, which was to all intents and purposes illegible.

I never learnt forth courtesy of that manual. I guess black-on-green wasn't aggresive enough for the c64 market; only black-on-red would cut it.

If you've ever walked the streets of a major UK conurbation, it's writ pretty large you steer clear of these people. If these guys are doing a genuine sociological experiment, the results back up anecdotal experience. If they're not, thanks for continuing to advertise them Mark! Bring on credit crunch zero hour!

Ghod. Analogue USB sounds so much better than Digital USB.

Does this mean it is impossible to own open land, which you choose to leave fallow and allow wilderness to develop on? Is the implication that doing so is a 'wasteful' use of land, and should be punished as such (whoever grabs it first and uses it for development benefitting)?

This would be an awesome foundation for an AR desktop interface. What's up with people?!
