I was thinking the same thing as you, until I noticed one thing. If you're using one of the base models, it IS cheaper, but to upgrade the specs it's more expensive as a developer, so if you're going to be adding HDs, RAM or a Superdrive, compare the two before you compare. Might not be worth the $99 for the discount... just a friendly hint.
That is what this is for;)
Is that the rumor is that the next "generation" of the G5 will be all duals. This definitely puts a kink in my plans to buy a dual 1.8, esp. since Apple tends to keep the same prices but bumps up the specs when they make new releases(and doesn't sell the old stuff anymore), and since I am a student, it seems the best deal is to buy off apple themselves(through the $99 student developer program you can get 1 hardware purchase at about 20% off, more than pays for itself even against the normal student discount)
IANAL I would assume all images depicting said acts would likely be illegal
Sorry, I just had to laugh, that acronym works on so many levels in this context:)

What makes the cockroach smart?
Evolution. The "dumb" animals tend to die before they can mate(or at least produce a significant amount of offspring)
In academia and industry(well, industry is somewhat debatable, I know plenty of companies that should have died out years ago:P) there is evolution. Good ideas get funding, bad ones don't and tend to thus die off. It took a long long time for the cockroach to evolve, 20 years is a drop in the bucket.
Once again evolutioin will prevail.
Apple has.ogg waiting in the wings. People have found.ogg and WMA icons in the OSX iTunes.app package
There *ALREADY* is (theoretically, I haven't tried it out) support for converting unprotected WMA files. Look at the section apple has about importing songs into iTunes(Look at the lower right, or search for WMA)

Well, also bear in mind that government debt is not the same thing as personal debt. People/companies/states who invest in government bonds are funding the government debt. Your tax money used to pay interest on government debt, goes to all the old people living off their bonds. If you reduce government debt, it means bonds are called in and paid off. That is not necessarily a good thing, since it increases the money supply, which could cause inflation. The bottom line is that government money/debt is just numbers in a computer...
You ignored one crucial fact, a large part of that debt is actually owned by foriegn governments. From wikipedia Treasury statistics indicate that foreigners bought 58 percent of the securities that Treasury sold to investors. Some 60 percent of that 58 percent was bought by central banks. A large percentage of that went to the central banks of Japan and China. This exposes the United States to financial or political risk that either bank will stop buying Treasuries - or selling them heavily.
The US economy is now slightly held hostage to places like China. If they decide to sell their bonds, interest rates would rise significantly because the government has to honor the debt and find new investors willing to buy it, and there is a good chance the US economy would slide back into a recession. You are right, we shouldn't sell off all the debt(the debt is almost as old as the country itself, one of Alexander Hamilton's first acts as Secretary of the Treasury was to combine all the state debts into national ones; solidifying the union). It is very dangerous to have these large debts, and programs beneficial to science such as NASA and education get "crowded out" by military spending and interest payments.
