You can charge it on multiple computers -- now. But this "anti-theft" system would make that impossible, unless there's more to the system than we're being told.
Either way, you still can't sync your iPod to multiple computers -- say you have a lap top and a desktop at home, and you keep your music library on both.
With enough skill at blackjack, you can beat the casino.
Not really. You can make it so that, on average, you'll win more hands than you lose, but you can never completely eliminate losing streaks. The MIT team that was quite successful against casinos had weekends when they'd end in the red.
More importantly, casinos will kick out anyone who demonstrates too much skill at blackjack -- the MIT team eventually disbanded because all the members were known throughout Vegas and Atlantic City.
Hermione: We knew we needed something to destroy the Horcruxes, and then Ron remembered there's a dead basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, so we went to get some of its teeth.
Harry: Neither of you speak parseltongue.
Ron: No, but I've heard you do it, so I imitated the sounds you made to the sink in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom.
Harry: And it worked? That makes no sense. And how did you get out? Last time we had to use Fawkes to carry us. And wasn't the tunnel caved-in?
Ron: Look, mate, there are only about 125 pages left. Do you really want to spend twenty of them helping us get into the Chamber and extract teeth? Just let it go and pretend it makes sense.
I'm surprised there isn't a Thunderbird extension for taking messages off mySpace, converting them to email and placing them in your inbox -- it shouldn't be too different from extensions that download emails from Yahoo and Hotmail accounts. The trick would be a way to compose emails in Thunderbird and posting them to mySpace, but even that shouldn't be impossible.
The attraction of social networking sights is having a place where you can look up old friends -- it's a niche that needs to be filled since not everyone has a website, and there's no equivalent of the white pages for email addresses. The trick is making contact with someone on mySpace or Facebook and then switching to email.
Spoilers for the maybe fake maybe real book. So avert your eyes.

No it isn't. As John Cale sang, "Fear is a man's best friend." No soldier wants to be stuck in a foxhole with a guy who has no fear, because he's apt to get people killed.
Remember, bravery isn't the absence of fear, but the ability to act despite your fear. The absence of fear is foolishness.
Yeah, people should just stop calling and pay their erroneous bills. What's an extra couple hundred dollars in bullshit charges in the long run, eh?
And if the complaint is, "Excuse me, my son made a five hour call to his girlfriend in Hawaii, and don't think I should have to pay it"? Why assume that the people getting the boot are customers with legitimate problems and not jerks who are wasting the time of customer service operators and thus making your fees go up?
Any one who's worked customer service knows there quite a few pathetic losers out there who like to feel important by berating people who can't argue back.
With run of the mill cell-phones, many people will opt for a new phone rather than replacing the battery because the cost of the two are comparable. But most people aren't shelling out $500 for a cell-phone.
Non-informative film making isn't "press", at least not in my country. If the law is to be applied only to professional movie recording, I don't see a clash with the freedom of the press.
Because the Supreme Court ruled in the 1950s that movie makers are covered by the First Amendment. "Freedom of Speech" covers just about every form of expression that doesn't create an immediate danger.
Just look at what happens to shows that have been "saved" -- the third season of Star Trek contains all the worst episodes, including Spock's Brain and The Children Shall Lead. Battlestar Galactica came back as Galactica 1980, which even the most hardcore fans like to pretend didn't exist. Buffy made the jump to UPN after the WB axed it, and the result was an absolute train-wreck. And the new Family Guy episodes are painfully unfunny.
I think you might want to rewatch the Mythbusters episode in question. When Grant hooked up raw avionics equipment in the lab, the cell phones did cause interference, but when they tested it in a realistic cockpit environnment the problems went away because the equipment was RF shielded. Their ultimate conclusion was that under normal circumstances a cellphone in an airplane wouldn't be a problem, but a single failure of the shielding would be catastrophic.

How about just resetting the bloody thing to the factory default so it doesn't know what computers it's allowed to sync with.

Let's see, right now I have running:
And on top of that, I might decide to write something in AbiWord and keep the Firefox window open in case I want to look something up.
There are pages that are barely human readable.

There are only about five pages that are wholly unreadable, and only one of them contains anything significant.

No, SL avatars start with no genitalia -- you can choose your sex, but that only affects body shape.

How dare you take the middle ground on Slashdot! Don't you know, every problem comes down to a binary choice, both of which are absurd extremes.
This doesn't sound like a problem with MySpace but the girl's upbringing.

Let it go.
On how many frequencies did they test? How many emitters/transmitters did they test at once?
They used a device that could simulate multiple cellphones on multiple frequencies at the same time, just like the FAA uses.
