The moment appears to have passed as amazon.co.uk is now selling the devices for a few hundred quid and the OP's links for several hundred dollars.

Sexual tension with Amy Pond = gold. Otherwise Martha was the best companion.

Well, yeah, good point. And Bush supposedly compared Saddam Hussein to "Gog and Magog" (extremely obscure biblical figures) in a diplomatic meeting with the bemused French head of state. But once again, the lack of belief in evolution is kind of a symptom: it signals or indicates extremely...

Alright, alright, so it's true we can probably provide a more equal quality probability scale for pre-Moffat Doctor Who episodes: 10% - brilliant 15% - good but flawed 30% - tolerably average 25% - average and tosh 20% - absolute horseshit Once upon a time an American staying in my house sat...

I don't think anyone actually believes that a politician denying evolution will result directly in their unsuitability as a candidate. The point is that it's a symptom of a willingness to utterly deny the balance of evidence in favour of their own faith - and for those who believe that...

The basic thing about Doctor Who is that when you sit down to watch an episode you enter an exciting lottery in which there is an equal chance of brilliance or complete horseshit.

Fair enough. Looks like it really was careless journalistic prose, i.e. nicked wholesale. But it doesn't necessarily imply that there will be no laws whatsoever regarding murder or rape; only that these will proceed from a 'new beginning' in theory unrelated to the strictures of any current...

I think there are more interesting issues to resolve than what is implied by a careless piece of journalistic prose from Yahoo News, which doesn't necessarily reflect on the project itself.

I am interested in the term 'underwater mortgage' but I fear it does not actually mean you live under the sea. Anyway, I'm very excited about dealing with debt and suchlike, as this year, I will have plenty. Teach me to do a postgraduate course. The idea of minutely budgeting my next year and...

Actual headline: "rich person funds tax haven."

inb4 police hate hipsters taking pictures of dilapidated buildings Frankly, I'd like to see the police step up this kind of policy and arrest people who have no aesthetic value.

Dear halflife2.net user, We are very pleased to have you back with us. We look forward to hours of reminiscences over what you have or have not done with your life while you have been away, how disappointed we are in you, and how nevertheless willing we remain to take you back now that all...

Um, just to say, the definition of terrorism is violence with a political purpose. So you can't actually say that this is terrorism at the same time as you say it has no political intent. It's one or the other.

I will miss Willie, but only to be sporting.

Well, I'm glad nobody sacrificed anything politically on the assumption that this would not happen if they conceded enough.

No shit? I am a huge fan of that band. Wait until Toaster gets word of this, she will actually flip her shit. A friend of mine at university went out (and may still be going out for all I know) with Anna Popplewell, the older girl in the Narnia films. He and she were both part of the whole...

As long as you have a reasonable amount of appeals, last chances, checks and balances for death row inmates, sentencing someone to death ends up more expensive than sentencing them to life. If you don't have a reasonable amount of appeals, last chances, checks and balances, then it's too...

Oh yes, and from a link in the OP's article, something on Obama 'having no choice':

While Obama was in a difficult situation this time around, it was a situation he placed himself in with his last two years in government - and not a situation whose options seem to have been fully explored. Perhaps in this case there really was no choice. But that didn't used to be the case...

Charity shops are where it's at. But yeah, I remember Borders UK closing down and having this huge sale, and going in there and finding everything was still far more expensive than I could be bothered with.
