The reasons for this are beyond the scope of this post but needless to say I have been in search of a new distro. I only have 1 absolute requirement [...]]]></description>

It died about 12 months or so ago and has been hiding under the bed ever since. I was reasonably confident that the problem was related to the power [...]]]></description>

As far as I can tell this is actually just a separate section of the store where all the &#8216;Lite&#8217; or &#8216;Free&#8217; versions of pay for apps can be viewed in one place.

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last couple of weeks we&#8217;ve seen the new coalition government gearing up for an attack on the BBC. First we had the culture secretary Jeremy Hunt calling for a cut in the licence fee. Currently the full cost of the BBC licence fee stands at £145.50. This works out at just under 40p [...]]]></description>

Namely the habit that the Labour party has of parachuting candidates into safe seats around election time. In the election just [...]]]></description>

They&#8217;re trying to solve a problem and she&#8217;s giving them the answer but they don&#8217;t hear her. It&#8217;s like she&#8217;s not even there.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently come across an issue with the DateTimePicker component within the .net framework.
