   Well it's cheap'ish for a managed gigabit switch...and "managed" is where you begin to add $$$, even in cheapo world. Also current price on ebay for a refurb N1108T-ON unit is 360 quid, so I reckon relatively speaking

   Genuinely "Zorland" with a Z which preceded Zortech. It was one of Walter Bright's early compilers. We're talking 1985'ish here :)

   Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You can't hide behind the "go and look it up" response as is often uttered by science deniers.

   Sure, they could provide anecdotal input based on past outbreaks, but they don't have the biological expertise to decide solely on what research should or could be carried out.

    Sorry, but epidemiologists have no ability to make these predictions. Epidemiologists generally work in the field of "who, when, and where" based on historical data evidence.

    Nope, a panel of virologists and related researchers with the same scientific understanding in the field should make these decisions.

    I don't want to diminish the work of "epidemiologist"'s but they aren't virologists. They're ultimately specialised statisticians and shouldn't have any say in how or what research is carried out.

    Wee nitpick, LINQ isn't an ORM, it's a querying API. Maybe you meant the original LINQ to SQL ORM which was deprecated in favour of Entity Framework (EF). > A good ORM will enable people to do that easily as well I agree. EF is
