Production costs varying over the seasons or supply availability I can understand.

I can't understand how /every/ UK supermarket chain made the same decision to decline the higher costs without asking myself if they spoke to each other about it. Emergent behaviour caused by racing to the bottom?

Not enough. UK popular media reporting focuses on the supplier's blaming this on 'the weather', or energy prices in production countries [0][1][2][3].

No real discussion on how European shelves don't appear to have this problem.

I agree!

I'm someone who's still getting surprises from his property purchase (UK leaseholder, converted Victorian terrace).

I would have loved to know ahead of time about forthcoming issues I'd have to deal with that the survey didn't pick up.

Would likely still have gone ahead with the purchase (I was in a baby-induced rush), but with a stronger bargaining position. It's not as if UK property prices are reasonable in any case.

I _personally_ feel that not declaring serious flaws just because it's not legally required equates to lies by omission.

Inherited medical conditions is another potential interest - although accuracy of diagnoses do degrade the further back you go.

+1 on the features phones - I worked on quite a few of them that had Jazelle acceleration for J2ME.

Solid 60fps on those 206MHz CPUs and the bottleneck was actually the display pipeline!

I hadn't considered the web archive, good call!

64bit msi installs and stitches images fine - LGTM :-)

I've been keen to add to my Hugin and AutoPano toolset.

Unfortunately the download links on that page 404.

Does anyone know where MS have moved them?

This is something I'm always on the lookout for, for my growing daughter - relevant, up-to-date and age-appropriate games.

Could you share some more info?
