Hard News: Steve, 1999, in reply to andin,
If you can afford it…They’re too not expensive one of these …they’re highly thought of, for a “blue collar” DAC.Or if you know someone handy with a soldering iron I use one of these
And I use one of These
The Apacer AL670 a snip at less than $100, all your stuff in any room over Cat5.
Admittedly I use in most for video but the audio is superb to my old ears but then I think any digital file sounds better than those round black plastic things that came in cardboard envelopes. -
Southerly: Tower Insurance Have Some Bad…, in reply to Rich Lock,
It’s great an’ all. But the fact you’re publicising this and having to point it out to me, rather than me getting it direct from the horses mouth….kinda proves the point.
I thought the point being rammed down out throats here was that Labour were doing nothing and were useless in opposition. This point illustrates the fact that it is the MSM ignoring Labour that creates this impression, a National strategy or just the good old Herald and pals usurping democracy again?.
Whichever it is I am becoming more and more disappointed with the continual bagging of Labour here.
Perhaps, instead, we should all bombard the MSM with Labour press releases until the are forced to acknowledge their existence. -
Hard News: Is that it?, in reply to "chris",
Parable of the Talents
That is one I have always had a problem with. It advocates the presumption of profit to be the norm, who knows how many "single mums" the bad kid helped out?. The bro that "merely" looked after his fathers stash got the sort srift, if you ask me. That guy that used his Dad's cash as leverage against his fellows seems like a right cunt to me.
Ten Virgins?..... pah
Islam beats that hands down with 72, apparently 32% of them have to be female.

Southerly: Tower Insurance Have Some Bad…, in reply to merc,
You took the trouble to be born, no more. You remain an ordinary enough man!
But I have "Hard Earned Money"
What do you have?You have to suffer to make me feel better about my useless existence,
Your pain is my pleasure
Your suffering my joy,
For without that,
My existence would be futile. -
I shall immediately go and discuss all this at the Kingsland Office over a jug or two of Hop Rocker. There may well be slurring.

I’d really like to know what CERA actually do on a daily basis.

In our case, probably the USD,
Or maybe some other plummety thing... Like a big Gold brick in an Ocean of debt.

The natural follow up being “why is it that the Chinese can?” sounds like a job for Woody and Wesley
White men can't save? The East Asian sector of the Human Race had Confucius for a founding thinker...
The philosophy of Confucius emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity.
Which would lead me to think that saving for a rainy day was a pre-requisite to being an upstanding citizen. And that was years before us Europeans invented Jesus, you know, the blue eyed fair-skinned guy.
There has been much discussion over the years about Race and IQ, there is a current Channel 4 Programme.
A controversial conversation if ever I saw one (note the very careful wording of the Daily Mail article).
If the measure of IQ means a measure of one's ability to succeed in a Western paradigm, then I can see a correlation. -
Hard News: 2011: The Year Of What?, in reply to Paul Campbell,
I've been a few cubes over when he was tearing a strip off of someone (his first time around) - people are plain scared of him -
In that case I would suggest investing in One of These, could be handy around the Office.
