I think my wife has one of those, except she calls it a "pumice stone". Still, it would be a great trade mark for a particular brand of tough foot skin removal product.
I agree that Harmony Central is a good place to start. I also suggest reading their article on avoiding GAS - gear acquisition syndrome - when buying your first guitar.
Thanks to that advice I have a kick-ass Yamaha telecaster copy which is far, far better than any fender in its price range, and a decent solid state amp.
As for "learning guitar", if you want to be able to strum some songs to impress the chicks, learn to read tab and download from OLGA. If you want to play the guitar, get classical lessons.
We had an old ICL running a bespoke cobol billing system which took a 5 character alphanumeric password. The admin screen would show the password as is when entered, but when reviewing a user record, or listing users, it showed the password encrypted by using a simple letter substitution.
I managed to brute-force crack the encryption one afternoon, and created a spreadsheet which used a set of lookups to allow you to enter a word, and unencrypt it into a string for the user password. By doing this you could set up a password like "td4jq" for a user, and they would have no idea that when the sysadmins reviewed the lists of users, it would read "wanka"!
Then you could (with relative impunity) select any descriptive word for the user and give them a seemingly random password.
Help desk staff like nothing more than the abuse of power...
How about disallowing a user to submit a review unless they have made a purchase from Amazon. One would assume that they would have at least made their mailing address truthful, and therefore can be verified by Amazon (and can still choose to be shown as anonymous).
Companies also patent reactions which are half way towards a product or reactions which are nowhere near being used for a product.
I used to work for a photgraphic media company, and played catch up with the big boys by investigating their patents. Most were dead ends or blocking patents which served little use.

The BBC also produce "Later... with Jools Holland" Which is about _the_ only credible music show on the tv.
All artists perform live, and many have not appeared in the uk top 40.
I don't know if it is syndicated in the states, but it is the only tv music show on UK terrestrial tv worth watching.
