They are fucking useless, though. 3 weeks to deliver a fucking letter 30 miles...

For those in ireland (and given that I live 15 miles from the border) they should be there at some stage in the next month, or not at all. An Post. Great.

i used toget the odd thing posted down from home when i lived in dublin, i gave up as it was quicker to wait a few weeks and go home and pick it up

Methinks they doth protest too much. Still, it does come with a 'warrenty', even if it's only got a 13" screen rather than a 17" as advertised. This was the seller's last purchase, so maybe they got some good ideas...

This is an absolute master piece of a collection somthing that is to be honest with you priceless. This stamp has massive credibility with a masive amount to offer to your stamp collection. This stamp is that rare that some people will not even post this through the post. This auction is for one of the most respective images of all time when the firsts stamps started to imerge from the UK and IRE.

I wonder if the address will a large stamp collector's in Edinburgh. Instructions for pick-up- break side window, avoid the alarms, break into the safe and get out without being savaged by the resident guard panthers.

Hey guys.

Do any of you know what the Mac equivalent of Irfanview is? I'm looking for a similar program as it's not available for the Mac.

Mac gets hacked in less than 12 hours. Also here. Looks a similar exploit to most of the Windows ones. Lucky for Mac owners that there's not much financial incentive for these sorts of things.

So, what happens now? Well, a huge numbers of pundits and anonymous nerds on the Internet will decry Apple's lack of security and how unfair it is that Microsoft, which expands so much effort on security, is perceived as having a less secure OS.
