Great point, I have two LCDs at home, one is a six year old Envision monitor and then other is a three year old Samsung. The Samsung monitor looks worlds better and is much easier to look at for extended periods of time. It's one of those things I can't lay my finger on but it's definitely there.
I don't have a great opinion on colors but I do like my fonts. Specifically the monospaced font Consolas. It's a Microsoft font that requires ClearType to be turned on, so chances are if you're using Vim you can't use it, but it just looks great. I've found it very easy on the eyes.
Most people who are serious about texting have unlimited plans, at least in the U.S. I'm not sure how much they cost but say $5/month on top of your regular contract, even 100 text messages is 5 cents a piece.
One time my wife got so sick of spam that she clicked the unsubscribe link on all the spams she received. Of course, this only told the spamming sites that there was someone on the other end... Now she gets a ton more a day. And she's crazy about deleting it, even when it's in her spam folder. I currently have like 7000 spams in my gmail spam folder and it ticks her off so much to see a number that large.
My freshmen year I got reamed pretty bad, but I wised up quickly. Generally buying international editions on the cheap (I have an int'l algorithms textbook right next to me that I still use years later), buying from Amazon and Half, and most importantly, buying directly from students. The only time I would go into the bookstore was to write down what books I needed and their ISBN. I always laughed at their prices.
I also generally avoided buying really expensive textbooks until I absolutely needed them, and even then, returned them within a day or two of buying them or just going to the library and sitting there for a few hours working on problems.
I saved a ton of money, probably about a $1000 from sophomore to senior year. I would have saved more if a bunch of my textbooks hadn't gotten destroyed when our house's roof leaked and all the water dripped right onto my books... My landlord cut me a $100 check for probably $250 worth of resellable books.
If you're only unskilled in programming but still enjoy doing it, you can still easily enough get a job doing it that will pay well. This is kind of unfortunate of the industry, but if you get a job at a place with an established code base and some good team leads, you will pick up nearly everything you need to know for the job pretty quickly.
If you actually don't like programming, maybe go back to school? Get your Masters and just do a ton of theoretical research. But it also sounds like you're ready for the workforce so I suppose I would recommend testing/QA. If you get hired by a large enough company you can move around within the company as you grow more comfortable with their systems, standards, etc. and so if you get the hankering to program, you can also do that.
And quickly reading through that list of planned features I don't think they implemented a single one. Of course FF3 was a big improvement over FF2 in my book so I'm not complaining.
And filter out warez sites, and news sites that aren't under the News Corp. umbrella, and Youtube of course.
There are plenty of plugins for Google that allow you to remove results from certain sites forever. Browsers should not decide what sites I go to. They can warn me if they think it's a phishing site, but I should always have the ability to browse wherever I want.
If they bought it from a site like Amazon they might have been able to go back in their shopping history and get a "receipt" like that. I had to do that once for a video card I bought on Newegg over two years previous to prove when I bought it for warranty purposes.
Just curious, do you really have more fun recreating Lego building on your computer than in real life? I know that digging for a specific piece can be annoying, but still... just found that interesting.
Wow, you're quite full of yourself. Say what you will about News Corp., etc., but the guy personally has billions and has made quite a successful life out of his so called lack of insight. News Corp. bought Myspace for $580 million, not quite a drop in the bucket but with nearly $30 billion in revenue last year, not the end of News Corp., or Rupert Murdoch, either.

Otherwise it looks like Inconsolata is similar enough:

Sorry to bring up bad memories.

Al Gore is gonna be pissed at your poor use of HTML.

For my small site I'm at 42% for Firefox 2 and 17% for Firefox 3, everything else is basically IE and a small representative for Safari.

He never even told them his name, but yet the Chosen Two knew it. Incredible.
And even when they teach Tesla they ignore his greatest invention, human transportation.
