Get them an Amazon gift certificate--it's geeky in that they have to go online to purchase something, but certainly contains lots of non-geeky items; enough to satisfy any geek or non-geek!
No one should be surprised by this. "Citizens Against Government Waste" is a very right-wing, pro-Microsoft group. They were definitely hitting for Microsoft during the anti-trust litigation, and this most recent anti-open-source rhetoric is right in line with their previous sentiments. From their front man Tom Schatz on the anti-trust suit:
"This litigation was never about legal misconduct but about competitors hoping to leverage political pull to get the Department of Justice to do what their products could not... Free-market competition may be a tough business, but innovation, not litigation, benefits society most in the long run."

What is most insidious is the name of the group, which implies that they actually care about taxpayers and greater good of our country...
Rather than trying to *never* be hungry, just try to eat less and more frequently (but only when you're actually hungry--just don't wait until you're starving.) This way, when you do eat, your body won't be in starvation mode and will burn the calories you consume, not store them. If you don't overeat when you're hungry, it will quickly burn all of them, and you won't put on weight.
C'mon people, I like to eat as much as the next guy or gal! The point is, just stop stuffing yourself silly--restricted calories != starvation, just limiting your intake so that you're not pushing yourself past full when you eat. I'm so sick of seeing fat Americans everywhere I go. We really have to do something about our problem. It's gross and embarressing, and *extremely* unhealthy.
Um, at least one of those was a Dell Latitude...but nice try...I personally haven't seen an *Apple* laptop to nasty things to anyone's nether regions; my boyfriend owns one and I don't think I have any reason to be concerned.
C'mon, people- this was done properly in the original message, then messed up one line down.
'it's' means 'it is'.
the possesive version, such as 'its horrible logo' or 'its name' is spelled 'its'.
Just learn the darned language!
