    So next is "the effects of caffeine on dopamine levels" ?

    If you get a decent cashback credit card it ends up being cheaper to buy things with a credit card than a debit card. I've seen some financial site recommendations that say if you use it responsibly (as in don't use credit you can't afford) then you should put all your purchases on credit card if you have a cashback…

    I'd say credit card for large purchases, whether online or not. Here in UK that makes credit card company as equally responsible for things going faulty, e.g. If the retailer you bought your washing machine from goes bust, get repair/replacement paid by credit card company. It's more protection than simply fraud…

    I thought that was mostly for parking and traffic law. Does it cover individual rights in terms of search, arrest etc?

    And of course if David Cameron or the home Secretary don't like the decision of the EU court of human rights they just ignore it.

    Anyone got a similar resource /list of rights for the UK?

    What's your strict definition of programming language that makes JavaScript not one? Interpreted programming languages are still programming languages.

    Seriously? That's up there with "the camera never lies". If you think there's no such thing as bad publicity I urge you to read the meaning and history of the Ratner effect.

    I was thinking the same before this article, especially although I was thinking with something like Trello instead of Google Calendar. Display my to do lists and clear them etc.

    I use Launchy

    I don't see the Metro interface at all myself. I can't remember the last time I even saw it.

    That's how it works in 8.1, it will boot straight to desktop, I don't see the Metro interface at all. I can't remember the last time I even saw it.

    Do you work for the NSA? Monitoring what I have and haven't used? :p

    Thanks but I know how the start menu works rolls eyes on all win versions and even the charm bar. I still find them slower than just using Launchy. I've not missed it at all.

    Personally I just use Launchy for loading any application.

    I didn't use the start menu anyway in 7 so I never missed it. Occasionally use the task bar for a couple of things.

    You don't need an app to boot to desktop in 8.1.

    Start menu? Even when I had 7 installed I didn't use the start menu, hugely inefficient and slow way of accessing things.
