    Installed my new PSU. Been off since the last one died a week or so ago. A lot of fiddly wiring, and trial and error pin placement which resulted in me winning.
    Now go away.

    And the reward for your win is the internets.

    Has there ever been a better prize for a man vs machine contest.
    I think not.
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    Did I misread that you were an accountant manker? That would be a terrible idea unless you want to aid the banks in relieving our traveler of the burdensome weight of his papers.

    Bank of America (U.S.) exchange rate December 24th, 2011
    Bank sells £ 1.00 @ $ 1.6374 --- buys £ 1.00 @ $ 1.4809
    Bank sells € 1.00 @ $ 1.3729 --- buys € 1.00 @ $ 1.2355

    Post Office (U.K.) exchange rate December 24th, 2011
    Post office buys £ 1.00 @ $ 1.528 --- Sell £ 1.00 @ $ 1.74
    Post office buys £ 1.00 @ € 1.17 --- Sell £ 1.00 @ € 1.34

    So if you convert $ 1000 in U.S. to Euros, you'll have € 728.39. Exchanging those Euros at a post office in England will yield £ 543.57
    If you convert $ 1000 in U.S. to Pounds, you'll have £ 610.72. Or if you exchanged $ 1000 in England, it'll yield £ 574.71

    Either way the worst deal is always to convert currency twice over converting it once. Money is always lost during personal conversions, and that loss gets compounded. The best bet would be to convert U.S. dollars to currency you need abroad while still in the U.S. Naturally there are some market variations depending on where you perform your exchanges, but they don't fluctuate so much as to make the original proposal worthwhile.

    What is alien posting, does it relate to the mundane analysis of currency exchange that I posted? If it's not, but rather some inane uninteresting shit, then don't bother paraphrasing.

    His post would probably be relevant in the 15th century: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocola...merica_history
