I agree, crap gadget is insulting and demeaning. Let's talk about the good stuff and let the less original guys improve their work.

Wikipedia has a nice summary of this process and does not limit itself to the UK:

NoLA promises 3.6Gbps download rates

No offence, but I would be quite pleased if the whole internet had a constant speed of 100 ko/sec.

It's reliability we need to improve, not maximum dowload rates.

Goodbye dollar, hello QUID: intergalactic currency proposed

@aaronbareford : Yes, my post is just a stupid insult. I spend too much time on the internet.

One caveat though: there is surprisingly little information about other countries available in England (I am discounting the constant bombardment of US=stupid/Germany=Nazis/France=lazy epicurians), and this leads to negative side effects.

Yes please

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
