"The Commission put temporary 'reverse charge' measures in place at the end of last year but said that its changes to the VAT Directive were different to earlier proposed pilot schemes."
Here I am, doing your proof-reading again! ;-)
For the uneducated: in English we say "different from", avoiding American affectations such a "different to", "different than" or "different of".
I'd just like to point out that the Mac Mini doesn't come with a built-in monitor. I paid £200 for my (used) Mac Mini, £110 for a half decent 19" monitor, £20 for a keyboard and £5 for a mouse. I probably don't show up in any statistics and I'm not alone. Take a look at how many Macs are selling on eBay. BTW I upgraded my first Mac Mini with a larger capacity HDD, memory and a Superdrive, plus a Firewire backup drive. Special tools required: 1 penknife and a X-head screwdriver.
For my travelling I need a 12" laptop. It doesn't have to be thin but it needs to be lighter than the iBook. With a hand luggage weight limit of 5kg, 2.26kg (5lb) is too heavy. I need a 320GB Hard Drive and all the usual ports (Ethernet, USB2, Firewire) and wireless. Such a beast doesn't exist in Apple's line-up at any price, so I won't be "upgrading" any time soon. I love OSX but there's a distinct lack of choice in hardware.
Am I alone in yearning for the days of the old G4 tower with its 3 internal HDD bays, upgradeable CPU, replaceable optical (and Zip) drive and my own choice of monitor, keyboard, mouse etc.?
I love OSX but, if I wanted an integral monitor and almost zero upgrade possibilities, I'd buy a laptop.
I'm 58 and have written many technical books. I've tried to write novels and failed. I take my hat off to Joanne Rowling. I enjoyed every one of her "Harry Potter" books. I guess that makes me an alzheimers victim like somebody else we know?
But I don't see what the quality of her writing has to do with the blatant plagiarism under discussion. Even if they were Noddy books, it's still plagiarism.
P.H. because she probably enjoyed having somebody read her the Harry Potter books.

[They say you should not upgrade your box? after 12 months its your box to do with what you want!! if they go down this route they should so what Virgin media and NTL did before the change and that is they own the box and not the customer!!]
Nah, Sky definitely "own the customer".
I do feel that we are too reliant on technology now. In the old days, a damn good thrashing would have sorted out the daughter. She would have understood that continuing the relationship would lead to another very sore bottom. (Maybe I could have phrased that better.)
Paris, because she knows the full meaning of "sore bottom".
So the US military don't use Apple Macs then?
Definitely grounds for prosecution! ;-)
It reminds me of when my eldest son was a teenager. I received a letter from his school announcing that he would attend detention for hacking the school computer system. I questioned him about it then wrote this brief reply:
Dear Headmaster,
I understand that you think my son should attend detention for accessing some teachers' private files by entering the word "password", when requested to do so, by the on-screen prompt "Please enter password".
I will be happy to oblige my son to attend your detention classes, provided that the teachers concerned attend a computer literacy course and learn how to password-protect their accounts. I await your confirmation.
(No confirmation was ever received and nothing more was said about detention!)
I don't use Safari. I just click on the little compass in the stripe at the bottom of my screen and I can Google. Oh, I have three messages in my Mail. Excuse me; The HSBC, Barclays and Natwest have all lost my account details and if I don't enter my password within ten seconds my best friend will die. Yeah, right! [delete] [delete] [delete]
Let's cut the eye-candy crap. My wish list includes a lighter 12" (or smaller) iBook, that I can take on a 'plane, and a desktop Mac, larger than the 'Mini', which holds a standard 750GB Hard Drive, sensible graphics card, DVD burner and LOTS of ports.
Sad face because I know it won't happen.
I don't give a damn about the technicalities. All I know is I can't book a hospital appointment because the "choose and book" site tells me: "We are sorry, but the web browser you are using is not compatible with the online Choose and Book service." Yeah, thanks, so which browser IS compatible? (It doesn't say. I've tried Safari and Firefox so far).

There's a telephone number offered instead. Thanks a bunch. If I could use a telephone, I wouldn't need to see the audiologist! Thank God I don't have a life-threatening illness.
