My friend turned her old "BUD" into a flower bed. It was lined with plastic and filled with soil. The elevated flower garden is certainly a point of interest.
I hardly ever replace a hard drive. I mean...sure. I've replaced a couple when I make housecalls or whatnot, but I have harddrives on a Gateway 2000 that's past the decade old line that works perfectly. Sure it had a gig and a half, but it works as an internet terminal that runs linux. I've upgraded hard drives, but always keep them around (the magnets are fun to play with) and I am always sure to have a back up or at least multi levels of redundancy to keep things safe.
It obvious that damn near everyone and their dog has an iPod. Thus these people will not go out and buy it again...and again and again. At one point everyone's going to have an iPod and sales are going to crash.
So how would that problem be solved with the name change. I know a middle initial wouldn't solve that. Would we have to just battle to the death and call it good? It would really just be killing two birds with one stone. First, you'd be practicing Darwinism (population control and promoting the best fit members to continue society) and secondly, you would keep yourself from being confused with another one of your "impersonators" But then again...I wouldn't mind being confused with a Physicist, but maybe I would mind in other cases...he just throws out facts and peddles wares, them's none the coolest!
Well my roommate is seriously addicted to World of Warcraft (I refuse to call it "WOW") He does had a girlfriend...which he justified his obsession by getting her addicted. My friend recommended whipping my genitalia out and pissing on something he loves. Not wanting a direct conflict, I obviously refrained from that course. After he caught some computer virus, he reformatted his hard drive. I happened to..."hide" his lovely installation CD's. To cope with the void...we play AA (America's Army) and frisbee golf. It's nice because both of those have some form of an end. Don't know if that was entirely helpful, but hiding things seems to help.
I, personally, like real books to ebooks. The portability of the paper book is a lot better than my laptop. There a few pound difference between them. Also, books require no batteries or AC power.
My favorite part about books, it that you can put them on your bookshelf. That way people think that you're deep and intuitive because you read pretty, leather-bound books. It also creates an ambience that ebooks just can't.

Oh well...Just to be on the safe side, I think it's best we start learning Newspeak.
