I've been using Ocado in the UK to deliver most of my shopping over the past 3 years. I'd rather relax with a good book than by searching for groceries and lugging them home. Not to mention, not everyone owns a car, especially not in Lond

Yeah, this website does looks random, hence my question, but it's what HSBC points to on their business pages: http://www.business.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/business-banking/business...

There is a better way: just boil 100-200g of citric acid in a kettleful of water. It will dissolve the limescale with no damage to the heating element.

You see, the producers discovered J.R.R. Tolkien belonged to the Lucas and Rowling school of thought, and named Kili — or should I say… Kill-i — after the role he was meant to play in the story.

When I last evaluated Scala, I found the following: * Launching the interpreter takes 10 seconds; 50 times slower than Haskell. * Compiling a small module takes 15 seconds; 10 times slower than Haskell. * Running 100 command-line unit tests
