The fact is, eBay shouldn't be held responsible for the actions of the users, any more than the local grocery store should be held liable if people post fraudulent sales on their cork boards near the entrances.
...except that if ebay is making money off of fraudulent sellers, and then looking the other way despite all the "tough on fraud" policies, then they are participating in fraud themselves (I'm not a lawyer, etc...)
Speaking as someone involved in the project: trust me, these organizations do plenty to help "our own" as well. Check out www.accrc.org to see how most of our refurbished equipment is used, or better yet, come down and help!
Yeah, we collaborated heavily with the freegeek project, and many of the computers being shipped down were set up by them. We worked out of the accrc, which is a cool non-profit in the SF Bay Area. They also set up lots of Linux computers to donate to low-income families and the disabled. If you want to get involved, show up, or if you want to help, we can always use more ram or monetary doations.
Don't throw out your computer! Donate it and give it new life, or at least recycle it, since it's a hazardous waste.
I don't think blade can be turned into a vamp. I think that was his original power from the comic. The name Whistler is also from the comics. As for Blade's new-found wealth, well, that's just cuz he hasn't been supporting Whistler's drinking habbits the past 2 years!

You can get water from sources other than just a glass of water - for instance, all those servings of fruit you never eat.
