I'll strongly second this. I bought a Nokia 6030 from T-Mobile for 29.95 and got $25 call credit with them. It's a great phone, easy to use, phenomenal battery life and even an FM radio (must use headset) built in. No email, no phone, no GPS, no Google Maps.
You only get $10 call credit now, but hey, that's a $20 GSM cell phone with great battery life, brand new.
I would also add that I've had Cellular One, Sprint, AT&T and Verizon in addition to T-Mobile and nobody compares in customer service. T-Mobile rocks, they haven't jerked me around once, a favorite sport of all the others.
And if you drop it and break it, you won't throw yourself off a bridge, unlike the iPhone elite.

You didn't check out Blender, which is open-source?
Well put. In fact, I did check out Blender and that was a major omission on my part. I would have to say that Blender has some features (the way you can split up windows, for instance) that would be wonderful to see on the commercial packages.
More importantly, the renderers available Yafray, POVRAY, etc. are truly impressive and produce very professional work. If this were an all inclusive post, I'd have to mention Wings, which is an incredibly intuitive modeller and The Gimp, which while not quite on a par with Photoshop is nevertheless a hell of a free alternative.
I dare say, that if you were very low on funds but very talented, it'd be extremely possible to produce professional level work with nothing but open source tools and a relatively old maching (Pentium III, even).
So yes, thanks for pointing out the glaring omission, Blender deserves far better than that.
but the real winner (in my eyes) is Cinema 4D, who's network rendering has the most painless licensing terms.
As a long time 3D Studio Max user (since the DOS days of 3D Studio, actually), I just recently made the switch to Cinema 4D. Starting my own small studio, I checked out all the current apps, 3D Studio, Maya, Softimage XSI, Lightwave and Cinema 4D. To my surprise, Cinema 4D was the most comfortable to work in, had one of the best built in renderers (yea, Lightwave's kicks ass too) and didn't cost an arm and a leg ($2000 for the Studio Package, call Raffi, she'll give it to you).
I'll give the nod to Lightwave on cost and licensing, though. For $800 you get the Mac and Windows versions with unlimited render nodes. Can't beat that with a stick. I just didn't care for the interface and workflow.
Yep, exactly! I loved the game, but I have zero interest in sitting in a chair for 2 hours watching it play out.
A much better choice would be to see Ringworld translated to the big screen. The coolest thing about Halo is the ringworld, so let's take one with a plot and decent characters.
So how long until they make one that can change into a giant robot?
Yea, my first thought is that this is the last piece in the speed racer puzzle. That little bird drone of his was the only thing we couldn't do....until now.
Slashdot Mirror
Except she died too, though not until the next movie.
Stand up FIGHT, not fil.....oh, wait, I see what you did there.
I for one welcome our new blob overlord. And you would be wise to do so, as well. It had to be said.
For anyone who might be interested, there is a wonderful story based on this idea. Roald Dahl's, "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar".
Dude! There's nothing but water in Mars. It's just red. Just like in Red Sea.
Not true, mars is made of jellybeans.

Ah, so that's what the "preview" button is for!
Remote control flying doomsday weaponry! What could possibly go wrong!??

do they know the mice are happy?
Isn't this just another, slightly more convenient form of Circuit City's disastrous DiVX idea?
First lay out $200 for their proprietary player, then pay for a phone line for the damn thing, all for the pleasure of paying $2 - $4 a movie.
I'm still waiting for Apple and Netflix to make a move.
Did Yahoo! just jump the shark?
All well and good, I'm drooling, yada yada...
BUT, will this boot Windoze too so I don't have to lug two laptops?

Keep your eyes on Luxology for the future....

I cringe when I see POS machines just running a terminal within Windows
Well of course it's gonna be a Piece Of Shit if it's running Windoze, don't you se....eh, what? Point of sale? Oh. Shit. Sorry.
Before you take the parent seriously, keep in mind it was modded +4 FUNNY.
As the Embedded Visual C++ is totally free of charge...
This too shall pass....
... I'd get in on the bottom floor and some kid would hit EVERY button.
..all the way to space.
What could possibly go wrong?
Porting the Vista gui to linux would be a step backwards for us.
And for all others it would be a step....?

Tha's jus' fookin' graaaate. Afta all, is jus a wee bit o'a monopoly, eh?
..steal the election, invade Iraq on a false premise and now this. Honestly, isn't there anything else for Bush to fuck up before he's gone?
Too bad we can't have the adulterer back. Heck, I'd even take the funny little Texan....
If it's possible, can the article itself be modded a -1 Troll?
