Bank of America's patronage of art has delivered some pretty good works. There are the many frescos that exist in Charlotte as a result of Bank of America's patronage as one example. Another would be the church that Bank of America Foundation helped renovate and turn into a museum of sorts. I belive the Foundation will also help foot the lease (for some nearby condos that are currently in construction) for the resident artists. Then they have the exhibits that are held in the many BoA buildings in uptown Charlotte. I think BoA also sponsors some of the events at The Blumenthal Performing Arts Center which physically connected to the Corporate Center. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

This sounds like a campus legend. In other words, it sounds like BS. It's very similar to a similar legend about why my university didn't have a football team.
I would imagine Harvard has to kowtow to the likes of Intel more than a good public university would. Harvard can't rely on government funding. Therefore, just because Harvard has buckled in the eyes of the public, I wouldn't forecast the demise of higher education.

I just bought a Jetta. Luckily the dealer didn't punch holes in the front bumper so they could put a big plate with their name on it up there (I live in NC), then I would have had to remove it and fill in the holes. They also didn't put their name on the back of the car as many other places do, I would have had them remove that before buying the car. They did put a rubber license plate holder on with their name on it. Once I get my real license plate, I plan to remove that crap too.
I always wondered if people got a couple hundred dollars off for having those stupid front plates with the dealers name on it...
There are a good number of Volkswagen enthusiasts that go badgeless, but like the classy badges that Volkswagen puts on their cars (one VW on the front, one on the back and the engine indicator on the back instead of the trim level indicator), so mine are staying. You can bet if they were gold, they'd be off already!
You are largely correct. However, as a counter-example Old Dog Clothing sells sweatshirts that have a large Old Dog logo on them. But, I think that is the only article of clothing they have with a noticable logo on it.
I buy Gap clothes (including t-shirts) because they feel good, are of good quality, and it's easy. (I shop at Gap.com, my local Gap at a strip, or my local Gap Outlet at a mall) I buy Gap t-shirts in particular because they feel really nice. I recently got a lot of their t-shirts because they are $9.99. They have the faded-local-sports-team look to them and feel great. I don't recall even those having a Gap logo anywhere other than the tag inside the collar.
So, my point is, I don't get where you say Gap t-shirts have the logo emblazened on them. Maybe a few do, but most do not.
I try to buy clothes without logos on them as much as possible, my only exceptions are the Old Navy stuff I bought back in college because it was cheap, my tennis shoes, and one Gap hat.

Well, you can play Quake 3: Arena without the CD in the drive, but only in multiplayer and only then because id issued you a tracking number that they use for copyprotection instead of the CD.

Unfortunately copy-protected games are back. Witness Quake 3: Arena, Unreal Tournament, Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed. Even though you can install the full game to your hard drive, it still requires that the CD be in the drive in order to run.
Sad, but true.

You can't use a CD-R copy of another CD-ROM because that breaks the DCMA. You can't just use another official CD-ROM that you got from your neighbor if Microsoft changes the EULA to require that you only use the CD-ROM that Microsoft or your respective OEM issues to you.
The Sega Dreamcast has its own OS in addition to WINCE. Games only run on WINCE when the developers were too lazy to write for the Dreamcast's OS. The games that run on WINCE make me wince -- they suck. I figure the XBox will either cost ~$500 or suck.
I guess it could be good for automotive installations. You know, those spank-monkeys with PlayStations in their Jettas (as seen on the Web) and vans (as seen in my neighborhood). All you need it an automobile power adapter for it.
