I had a math teacher in college that did the same thing. We could only use nonprogrammable scientific calculators on tests. It was in these math classes that I learned the most.
On the features page it says it has a high-capacity 20 Gb hard drive. Is this like Intel when they changed the name of their processors no non-techy people can tell the performance? If it had a 40 Gb hard drive would it be super high capacity?
My father worked at a coal mine. Every year they had to replace the CO2 cartridiges in the mining equipment. The CO2 cartridges were used as propellent in the fire extiguishers, so they where pretty powerfull. The old catridiges where perfectly good so what they would do is take a 2" metal pipe with a nail in the bottom and use that as a mortar. The cartridegs would regularly fly 500 feet over a mountain near the mine.
Plus we built potato guns as kids. We had one kid hit a cat at a 100 yards with one. It didn't kill it, but the cat never came around his house again (it was a stray).
There are just too many passwords to keep track of. Hell, I even forgot that my password to my DSL modem was 1234. But, to all you script kiddies I changed my password so don't even come poking around where you are definatly not wanted.
I had about the exact same thing happen to me. I was laid off from my job, and not a week later I had a call from my old boss demanding some information. I quietly replied that my consulting fees are $20 an hour and the clock was ticking. Luckily for him it was only a 2 min question (I don't bill for anything under 30 min).
However, luckily for me I did answer his question because exactly one month later another department called me back to do some contract work. Like one comment I read it doesn't help to burn any bridges. Sometimes one just needs to swallow his/her pride.
Oh and one note I was able to renew my contract and I am working from home. Oh my gosh you guys working from home is so sweet!

Yes, we could save money outsourcing the space program to a company in India.

$20 an hour is not too much if you are in Utah, the land of too much education and not enough jobs
