Sometimes its a matter of convenience. My right cheekbone, sinus and lower eye socket were shattered in a Tae Kwon Do sparring accident. A titanium wire mesh was put under my eye socket to hold it together while it healed, and a couple of titanium strips (the doctor called them plates, but they're just little strips) holding the rest of my face together while it healed. These parts are no longer needed since I've healed, but in order to remove them it would require having pretty much the exact same surgery all over again, and there is no harm in leaving them in.
As another poster commented above to a similar post, this never happend outside Apple's lab. Not a SINGLE CUSTOMER had their PB 5300 burst into flame. This occured with a pre-production model with a defective battery in THE LAB.
One final point to note is that Newham will be using Internet Explorer. Steel explained that this is because Microsoft is very serious about addressing security concerns.
From my location, any search string containing the string 'mail' (like mailman, mailbox, email, etc) would fail. But after about 10 minutes, all was well again.
mindisc WOULD kick ass if it wasn't crippled with DRM and compatible only with Sony's crappy windows software. The hardware is awesome, small, light, runs forever on one AA battery. But its severely limited. The software sucks ass. Sony is shooting themselves in the foot on this one.
There seems to be some confusion at my local Apple store. They do not have the new iPods in stock, contrary to what I was told on the phone. They said I could exchange it for the 3G 20GB, which they still had in stock, but I'd have to pay a $30 restocking fee on my 15GB iPod since it is not defective. However, the remaing stock of 15GB iPods is being sold for $249 (or $229 with edu discount). So, they gave me back the difference in price from before. I get the edu discount, so I paid $269 last week, so they gave me back $40 (+ tax).
I'd have liked to have gotten the 4G 20GB, but $30 for a 15GB iPod is still a damn good deal:-) ($229 - $200 Cram and Jam rebate)

or they'll make the same mistake the dwarves did, and awaken the Balrog.
I've found that it is slacking that causes boredom and gets me feeling stressed.
Hear, hear! Slacking causes more stress than anything. And here I am posting on Slashdot.
heh, if using an Internet-connected computer required a license, you would be out of a job.
Heh, nothing. The amount of metal in my face is probably equivilant to two American quarters, at most. Probably less.
This was done in Germany. Bush's policies regarding stem cell (fetal and non-) research are irrelevant in this case.

With a surface temperature of 1100+ degrees Fahrenheit, i doubt there is much liquid water.

haha, true enough. But I'll take Lurch over Bush any day

no, just Too stupid to be President.
Most of the "free" phones cell providers offer to new customers are just basic phones.

Ahhhhh... text adventures. Alive and well!
Which is why I assume that anyone saying anything good about my enemy is just my enemy in disguise.

RTFFPA (RTF Fine Print Again). They will not issue checks for less than $1.00.

How about a ply? I'll take a ply.

I think if its within 14 days, they'll do a price match. So, you might get $100 back.

The Apple Store in the Southdale Mall in Minneapolis. They said nothing about a restocking fee. I guess I'll find out when I go tonight...
You can get it upgraded for free since you just got it. Call Apple.
