The Bus Pirate, Logic Sniffer, IR Toy, and Webplatform, I've found more useful than the Flash Destroyer. I use 1 BP to burn replace my huge, old, and partially burned out AVR development board, which cost tens time as much. The Webplatform is really nice as well, I've got a couple of those.
Some confs allow student volunteers to attend "non-full" session when not working. Be prepared to talk to people, make contacts, and do all that networking stuff. If your not going to do that, I think your money would be better spent elsewhere.
But, in general, fixing bugs that you encounter, while you are at work is not an option. It takes way too much time to figure things out and fix things.
From a business perspective of total cost of ownership, those bugs aren't the expensive ones. It's the ones in critical paths. Where entire projects or systems are at the mercy of a third party vendor. I've seen it happen a few times. In all cases the corporations survived, but spent $M of dollars rewriting/reporting existing production systems.
Same story here. Didn't hesitate to buy a replacement when the first failed after 3 months. The speed difference is just incredible. Bit early to call spinning drives dead for me yet, DVRs for example.
One client of mine pays [much] more outrageous prices, one more TB and they have to build another datacenter it seems. A lot of posters have pointed out the factors that go into the storage costs equation, but with internal budgets and make believe money, it is often a political issue.
After the loss of the first vehicle, they did extensive testing. The whole Phoenix story is truly rising from the ashes, and very interesting. I think it was on the Discovery channel.
My first thought was gravity as well, though I'd think we have enough physics simulations that we could at least do simulated testing under low grav. Looking at the homepage for Phoenix, it looks like they are looking into heat caused by the rasping might be contributing to the problem. Digging holes on Mars just isn't the same as digging them in your backyard, at least not yet.
If HP doesn't get enough of it's telecommuters to quit, I bet they start layoffs next. Will be interesting to see if any of the telecommuters who move and then loose their jobs anyway blog about it.
I ran into XP via Cunningham & Cunningham, Inc.'s ExtremeProgrammingRoadmap. I had a lot of the same thoughts that many here have posted, with tons of reasons why it couldn't possibly work. I decided to use some of the XP methodology for some tutorials and samples I needed. I will never look at programming the same again. If you have some extra time I would suggest buying the book, opening your mind, and doing some extreme programming. It has changed my life, it might change yours.

Basic business is to identify your competitors and then look at what they are selling, apparently the Shack can't even figure that out for themselves.
CASE tools could untangle graphs in 1999.
I nearly cried the day I heard Ward Cunningham (creator of the wiki) went to work for MS. I cheered when he left.

Sounds more like when you're trying to bust someone busting you.

Is MS a secret muslim socialist, racist, america hater who blew up an oil well in the Gulf? Hey, I'm just asking questions!

Sweet, sweet, catch-22. Show linux infringements of MS patents so they too can be trivially worked-around. Sleep in the bed you patented.
The roadrunner search does have an opt out though.
Just "bought" nin:access for free on iTunes.

Good thing KDE 3.5.9 is still available so users have a choice to avoid "failure", unlike XP which will only be available to System Builder Licensees.
How about if those tires you mention can only be purchased from the auto maker (for the lifetime of your vehicle)?
