Some of the flights of the X-15 had problems with bouncing off of the atmosphere, and the flight plan for space ship one is almost exactly the same. So they probably do have to worry about re-entry to some extent.
I'm not sure. Apple might let you automatically create an account if you don't already have one. It seems like requiring a credit card to redeem a gift certificate would defeat the purpose of having them in the first place.
When a can of coke says it contains 300 calories, can the human body actually metabolize that and turn it into 300 calories of heat energy?
I was under the impression chemical energy couldn't be turned into heat energy with 100% efficiency. Of coarse when people state how much energy something contains they might take that into account. Just curious.
The iTunes Music Store allows people to buy gift certificates for anyone with an e-mail account. So the idea is that you give the people $66, they take the money and use it to buy a gift certificate and have Apple send it to your e-mail address. I think that using the gift certificate requires you to set up your own account, so you can't just buy as many songs as you want using their credit card.
"2. The iPod costs more than its weight in gold"
Price of gold: $340 per oz.
Weight of 40GB iPod: 6.2 oz.
Predicted cost of 40GB iPod: $2,100
Actual cost of 40GB iPod: $500
I know you actually meant to say that they were really expensive. I was just curious how much it would cost. I wonder how many people would actually consider an iPod to be worth its weight in gold?

And it still gets 400 comments. I didn't realize slashdot readers had such a long attention span.
I'm not sure how WineX works. But I wonder if iTunes will run under wineX if it's installed using windows. Is that possible?
If if were you I'd hang on to that power book. It might become a collectors item some day.
