For a properly maintained car, yes. This is part of the safety inspection for autocrossing, if there are power brakes they are pumped a couple of times when the car off to make sure it still works. I don't have a ton of autocrossing experience but I've never seen a car fail inspection for that reason.
I don't know how the gear selector works on your specific model, but every automatic transmission I have driven allows you to go from 1->2->D->N without pressing the button on the selector. That way you can slam your hand into it and it will stop in N rather than going into R.
Practicing this was part of my driver training in Canada.
Vancouver has its pros and cons. It all depends on what your lifestyle is. It's been called the No Fun City due to archaic liquor laws, restaurant/bar hours, and other things. Not a big deal to me personally.

1) Don't limit your ideas about using EC2 to hosting. You can run whatever you want on their instances. Think about a company that does some kind of data acquisition/processing. You could set up a system for them that does a run in 1 hour (since that's the minimum billing slice) instead of their current process that takes a month on a single workstation (or even cluster of workstations in their office). The results get stored on S3 where they download them over an encrypted connection.
2) Yes, very nervous. Especially with the privacy laws in the States. I'm Canadian, and I would be talking to lawyers about data storage issues before having sending customers' data down South.
3) EC2 is useless without S3, since your images are stored on S3. S3 is useful without EC2, as you can use it for static storage and BitTorrent hosting.
All Lithium Ion batteries are classified by the federal government as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream. These batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials that make recycling a good idea.

Awesome, thanks, that's just what I needed!
For the people that have one already, can the display be rotated for left-handed people?

According to the Linux Arm machines page, the config type is CONFIG_MACH_NOKIA770 but I wasn't able to find this in the Linux OMAP patches.
.config file is that I can use?

I poked around the repository, but I didn't find any kernel sources or patches. Does anyone know where to get the kernel images?
Now I'm going to have the goddamn "Hey sistah, soul sistah..." riff stuck in my head until at least lunchtime.
I've found that if I get a song stuck in my head, I think about the A-Team theme song, and it gets rid of the old song just like that.
Now all I need to do it figure out how to get the damn A-Team theme song out of my head.
How is the PVR-500 support in Linux? Last I saw, it was listed as experimental/buggy.
