I think that if you make virtual money, you should be taxed virtual money (if you're going to be taxed at all, that is) and if you make real money you get taxed real money. If the virtual government (aka game maintainers) don't decide to tax you, then they don't tax you. It wouldn't really make sense to tax you in the game, since the taxed money wouldn't really go anywhere, so you'd basically just be inflating everything to no benefit.
Not to mention since he put a flash based drive in there, he could probably put one of those 32 or 64GB flash based drives in it. If I had to guess, the three biggest problems with iPods are the screens, hard drives, and batteries. Eliminate one by buying a batter pack, and replace the HDD with a solid state drive and you greatly reduce any risk of problems with your iPod.
I have a dual monitor setup at home (dual 19" monitors, both free:) ) and I can say it's a great setup. I have my monitoring software as well as media player on the right monitor, with my web browser and what not on my left monitor. When I'm programming, I'll move the browser to the right and use it for reference, and program in the left. While working with graphics (photoshop, 3d modeling, etc.) It's very nice to use both screens. I usually have any reference open on the right with all the workspace modules floating on it, and on the left the image I'm working with is maximized allowing me to see the whole thing. When gaming, when games don't support dual monitor, I can use the second for a walk-through or something. I tried turning off my second monitor for a day and went nuts, once you use dual it's very hard to use single monitor. On top of that, I use virtual desktops as well, for a total of 4 desktops (2 desktops, 2 monitors), and while it has it's advantages, the extra space allowing for 2 programs to be open is definitely worth it.
First, it says something about common law, and I didn't RTFA, so I'm not sure, but does that mean that it only applies to the few (according the above article) countries that use such a law? Or is this a blanket affect for all of Europe. Second, when can we get this here in the US. This is by far the most sensical copyright-related law passed in the past 5 years.
This is a really easy one.
Get 2 email addresses. Make one private, and only give it to people you actually need to be in contact with, and make one public. Use it for posting, signing up, one for everyone else to email you, what not. Use GMail for said public address, and now your SPAM is almost completely redirected to a GMail spam box. Problem solved.
It's what I do, I haven't gotten a junk mail in my Thunderbird's junk mail folder in weeks. And I use my public email address all over the place.
So what you're saying is I should go out and spend my hard earned money on something that doesn't even work how I want it to?
I suggest rather than buying a screwdriver, you buy another hammer or just don't buy anything at all. If you have something that works like you want it to, there's no reason to buy another product that doesn't work how you want it to. The whole point of a product is to appeal to consumers, Mac OS is no different, it should appeal to the consumer, not do something and tell them to screw themselves if they don't like how it works.
Yes but the whole point of a product is for it to work how you want it, not the other way around. Why pay for something that doesn't work how you want to, when you could stick with something that does.
I found that it's much better and easier to learn for yourself, doing things that maybe don't help anyone but teach you better. If you only learn through work, then you won't learn everything, plus you won't be driven by motivation, you'll be driven by work, and it will make the learning process more tedious.

I couldn't have said it better myself, so I won't even try.

That's not saying a whole lot, Bush is president after all.

Things like this are what are the cause of the dismal internet connection in the US.
It's not up to us how google returns it's results, it's google's. Why must you argue a point that cannot be changed by you anyhow?
You could also just use 10minutemail.com to get a disposable email address to sign up for things, another quick n dirty solution.
