It's cheaper for _one_ person to buy an OEM copy of XP, but once the software works with Wine, it becomes a little cheaper for _everybody_ to use Wine.
I've first learned about William's Syndrome from the book Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks. He describes one girl with WS who went on to work in some kind of nursing home, which is the best job she could find : she can chat all day with old people and play music for them and never gets bored with it.
I'm French and I mostly agree about your quotes... under 3 €, it's everyday wine, good for cooking or drinking over everyday supermarket cheese. Above 3 € I can be confident that it'll be enjoyable, with a nice meal. But then up from 15€, I begin to wonder if it's really worth it, and that's where you really need to know something about it.
All Vai does is play classical scales really fast.
Not just classical scales, any kind of scales (hungarian, japanese, pentatonic, you name it, he shreds it). I mean, we're talking about a guy who can sight-read impossible pieces of sheet music. He's a stunt guitarist, the kind of guy you call when you've got something impossible to play, and that's what I like about him, the monstruous virtuosity. But I wouldn't say that his music has no soul. His tune "For the love of God" comes to mind, he really played his heart out on this one.
I RTFA and I agree that a big incentive to cheat is when your project doesn't work. When you still can't find that nagging bug at 3 AM, cheating seems like a good option. But I think honesty is the better way. Once, I turned in a project that didn't work ; I had an oral exam a few days later to defend my code, and one the professor actually congratulated me on the code. Turns out he had just read the code and liked it, because I followed his specs to the letter and used all the OOP patterns that he taught in his course. The one bug that made it crash was a missing call to an ancestor's constructor, undetected by the compiler (this was in Turbo Pascal)
If it's a shop where she has been several times before, your wife should have no problem finding her way there and back, because this involves procedural memory, not short-term memory. Procedural memory is very deeply set in the brain, very hard to erase, and requires no conscious thinking. It's where your daily route to work is stored, where the lyrics to your favorite song are stored. People with Alzheimer's can remember and sing their favorite songs perfectly, as soon as you start playing the music. I recommend you read Oliver Sacks' book "Musicophilia", you will learn how music can ease your wife's disease.
I read some comments about the game being very dull or boring, but I have to play devil's advocate : did you guys play with the real rules ? There's a very misunderstood rule in the game, which is that when you land on a vacant street and you don't want to buy it, it is then AUCTIONED. This is what the game is all about : business ! You can refuse to pay the street at face value and get it at a lower price, or force your opponents to compete for it. This makes the game shorter as you can bankrupt your opponents faster.

I can't wait for the French-translated buttons : J'aime sur fesse bouc
And for Valley Girls : "Like on, like Facebook, like."

+1, Got The Math Right.

A more important question though, is how on earth do you last two months with only a 4 pack of toilet paper?
Simple ! Use BOTH sides.
I use w3m myself.
I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter (provided it includes drawings of monkeys and hunters, of course)
Compare this to what they do in Venezuela... teaching classical music to poor kids from the ghettos.

The man can write bits on any hard drive platter just by glancing at it menacingly.

[...] What is this carp?? [...]
Yeah, I too wonder where they fished that from.
The harder they push in this direction, the more people will realize there is another way
And there'll be a huge banquet with wild boars roasted on a spit and ale !

Yup, and Finland doesn't have just one winter per year, either. You have Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Summer up there.

These pictures are fake, you can see a Lada on top of a hill and no Lada factory in sight !
Never been to the US, but I hear there's a man with a beard of bees on the road from Las Vegas to New York.
How about "Jump the Shack" ?
