Every once and a while I wander around with my digital camera and take a bunch of pictures and they just sit on my hard drive. I am going to submit all the photos I took at the Bronx Zoo, as well as the ones I took when I was walking around Times Square during my lunch hour.
I never intended to make money off these photos, but I think it would be pretty rewarding if I was flipping through a magazine and saw a picture I took
A persistance of vision toy, which is a simple microcontroller that blinks 8 LEDs on and off so that when waved through the air, an image or message appears to float in front of the viewer can be made in bulk for really cheap.
I have Cingular and a Sony Ericson T616 with full bluetooth support. I have used my phone to dial out on my palm, and I sync my contacts on my phone with my computer, and copy files to and from it (including games, ringtones and pictures)
I always carry around my pick set and a masterlock. When things get slow at the office, and when I am sitting on the train to and from work I practice the fine art of bypassing locks.
Last semester, my final was to develop a database, and write a front end client to interact with the database.
I didn't feel like entering in all the data by hand so I compiled a database of various stocks, and how they have performed over a few months. All of my data was obtained through finance.yahoo.com, and they allow you to download historical data for numerious stocks and they provide it to you as a comma seperated file.
I am a very casual gamer, and there are a few reasons why I subscribed to the game. When MMORPG started to get popular, I wanted to give them a go, but when I got to the store, I found out you had to pay 50 bucks, and then a monthly fee. In the past I have bought games, and then never ended up playing them, and every time I see the box sitting on my shelf, I think, man I wasted 50 bucks. So if I was to pay 50 bucks for the game, and then 10 bucks a month, only to play it for a week, I would have blew 60 bucks.
The fact that the game is made available without a fee, and that you could even play online for a demo period pretty much sealed the deal. I played it, thought it was cool, and then when the demo expired, I registered so I could continue to play.
I would strongly suggest you take a look at a VW Jetta TDI. You can get a Jetta GL with a 1.9L 90hp 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine. You'll get 49 MPG highway. From the outside, it looks just like any other Jetta and you can only tell it has a Diesel engine from the TDI logo on the back. TDI's account for 3% of VW's sales in the US, you when you spot another TDI on the road is rare.
Diesel is also cheaper then regular gas. In NY, I see it for around $1.49, while 87 is about $1.94 right now.
take a look at Just Linux Hardware
While it is fairly new, it is growing into quite a resource. Plus, the revenue the site generates gets donated to open source projects and orginizations, which is also pretty cool
I have a friend who is a real cheap bastard. He bought a new phone and he is ranting and raving about all the new features it has like games, a world map and a tip calculator.
I said, now that you have a tip calculator, are you going to start leaving tips, and he simply responds no.
I attend community college at night and in one class we have to telnet into a Solaris box from W2K.
Our login name is the frist 3 letters of our last name, followed by the last four digits of our social security number. Guess what the password is? Yeah, our full social security number.
One day I came to class early with a copy of Knoppix on a CD and booted off it and ran ettercap, poisioning the switch so all traffic goes through my machine first...
One by one, as students came in, I was able to sniff the their login name and password (which was their social security number).
I sent an email to the school using that as an example of why students passwords, or their ID number should be a SSN number.
I have not yet gotten a response
For this to really work, they should get some computer manufactors behind it.
If this consortium developes a friendly version of Linux aimed at desktop users and are successful at promoting it, they consumer would still have to install it on their system and in some cases configure hardware and whatnot.
If they were to work with Dell, or HP/Compaq were they would be able to ship "Restore" and "Recover" CD's with the machines, when something goes wrong, the user would simply be able to boot off the CD and restore the computer into the state it was when it was brought home. The operating system would be installed, all the hardware would be configured.
Since I was very young I have been using a Macintosh and when I first started to learn game development, it was on a Macintosh platform. I recently picked up programming under Win32 since I have more access to machines running Windows.
When I was going to school at night, I meet a kid who wanted to get into game programming. Our biggest problem was we could not come up with a game idea that was good, and didn't already exist. (Apparently we are not the creative bunch)
Then it hit me. Alot of people have written very successful games for the Macintosh and released them as shareware. I would email the person who wrote the game and ask if they would like to port their game over to Windows to expand the user base. Alot of people took me up on the offer, My friend and I would write these games after work and then the author would sell them on their site and we get a check every once and a while for a couple of bucks, which would usually be exchanged for Beer at the bar right next to the school.
Basically, I get to enjoy my hobby, and make a few bucks at the same time.

No wireless. (Alot) Less space than an iPod. Lame.
You might want to run a spell checker on it. I caught a couple errors. (Page 137)

I emailed her yesterday and got the exact same response you did, word for word....

What is great about this is that is allows you to create a routing lab that seems to very closely resembles a cisco device.
I bought 3 2500 routers on eBay for 700 bucks, had I known about this software, I could have spent that money on something else.
Maybe they have been getting their ideas from The New Yorker Magazine

Rockstar Games is not *giving* away Grand Theft Auto. You had to provide your name, address and a valid email address in order to download the game.
I am sure that your personal information is worth more to Rockstar then the 15 bucks id is selling Keen for.

If you get a picture of you in your car speeding with a speeding ticket attached, just send them a picture of the money
