 What!? You think that winners would argue that the lottery is the only idiot tax.
(I'm often lambasted as being far too literal - but a man's gotta have fun)
Owing to the way a lottery works, (naturally) winners are in the stunning minority. Even then a large proportion of them go on to have train-wrecks for a life afterwards. To supply a common quote Quote: Nearly 70% of lottery winners end up broke within seven years.
I dont imagine it's the case, but if you're not familiar with the tales of misery that typically follow lottery winners, try a google for "statistics divorced dead lottery"

That's why I'm perfectly happy with Tommy Hilfiger T-Shirts. Cotton, washable, fits, and all that for about 30CHF. Not cheap, but from the shirts quality I can tell they're going to live more than a mere year.

A very expensive clothing store in Dallas.
My wife and I stopped into the "Last Chance" store they have, where clothes that are ones and two left over from the regular stock, or otherwise need to be gotten rid of just to clear space, etc.
One dress she looked at, which was heavily discounted for quick sale, was $2500.
(You can search YouTube for Allan Sherman's song "Me"  )

I always wonder how that stuff sells at all, let alone quick

Ah... Never heard of him, the song, the shop, or Big D.
I've heard of Dallas though

My brand spanking new work laptop just died. No warning. Simply shut down. The SSD is empty and unrecoverable (apparently) so everything I did this morning is gone. Luckily I back stuff up to my network share so at least I can go back to where I was on Friday. Still, pretty p'd off as also takes a day to reinstall everything.

Aren't you at least going to throw the manufacturer under the bus?
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

Seconded. Manufacturer name and item number, please, so none of us buy the same turkey.

it's DELL he's said as much. Every other manufacturer he has denied. Not sure if he means Dell the computer brand or the name of the bloke in Peckham he bought it of.

No: for all I know it was something I did and not a crappy SSD.

A decently designed laptop would not allow you to do that kind of thing! Name and shame. It's the only way to get closure!

The Data Packaging Tool main window contains three tabs: Unsigned Data Files, Signed Data Files, EFT Generator and TMS Packages.
(from the Ingenico documentation)
Even the screenshot shows 4 tabs.
