I suggest either running your own email server, or getting a decent imap account from your isp. Although webmail services may be convenient at times, you have to come to grips with the fact thats its a webmail service,
Even better, get an IMAP account from an independent Email provider which also offers Web access. Changing Email addresses whenever you (have to) switch ISPs is just too much.
I seriously doubt Future Shop is selling a lot of Rio Karmas at that price:)
As far as iPod usage under linux goes, it may or may not work. At the time I bought my Karma, there was not iPod support for Linux, so wine was not even a consideration for me.
And it makes a huge difference for me if a company shows at least some support for the OS of my choice, like Rio does, or does not do so at all. When I put money done, I want to support who is supporting me, it's as simple as that.
They lure you to buy their printer with a cheap price. Once you bought it you're stuck paying higher than usual prices for their cartridges. Certainly fits the "bait" part, but you're right, they don't try to switch you to a different printer.
In short, unless you manufacture inkjet refill kits, don't worry about this, it doesn't matter and it would change your life in the least.
Actually, if I were to buy such a printer and Dell would succeed in preventing their cartridges from being refilled, I would certainly pay a premium since Dell cartridges won't be as cheap as refills. Can you say bait and switch?
I was in the same situation and decided that neither using only a few passwords nor trying to memorize >= 10 passwords is a really good idea. So I started using Keyring for PalmOS on my Palm. It even generates random passwords for me (useful for all those web accounts) and I only have to remember one master password.
Passwords that I use regularly stick after a while anyway.
This is not a clustering but a failover solution. In case of a failure the second machine will assume the identity of the main one and start the same services (maybe with reduced performance).
Unless DOS means that somebody is ripping out e.g. the network cable, this won't help.

Not sure what store you are referring to, but I see a price of about $250 for the Rio Karma out there, while the 20 GB iPod goes for a few bucks more.
And besides, I cannot manage an iPod from Linux, something that I can do with the Karma, and that is the killer argument for me.

He did not regret the agreement with Microsoft itself, he regrets to announce a change to the curriculum without following the established procedures.
This does not mean the deal is off for good, just put on hold for a year to allow the curriculum committees to make a decision.
