Sounds cool for snorkelling on the surface. Shame they couldn't have sealed it to 5m.

The problem is that at current prices, the total cost of owning a Prius doesn't stack up. Yes, it uses less petrol in its lifetime, but that doesn't balance the high purchase and servicing costs. As for diesels, you haven't mentioned the problems with fine particles from diesel engines causing…

Windows 2000 was a great OS - for a Business user. Windows ME should never have been released. Windows 7 should redress a lot of the mistakes in Vista, but it's still going to be hard to get people to move away from XP.

It's astonishing to me that a game like that is legal anywhere. It's bizarre to believe that it should be acceptable to commit such acts simply because it's "virtual". It's bound to lead to virtually no difference being perceived between rape in a game and rape in reality. GTA is…
