A comfortable set of earplugs... $4.50
Being able to e-mail your last will and testament to your next of kin during an engine malfunction... Priceless.
Victor: The luxurious cd-rom drive is stuffed with eagle down, and the Vista dashboard inlaid with the beaks of a thousand eagles. Also, there are some eagles in the hard drive.
Amy: That's an awful lot of eagle.
Victor: Yes, and yet--
[He sighs.]
Amy: What's wrong?
Victor: It is just... the Ultimate edition has so much more eagle. It saddens me to think of you missing out.
Amy: Oh, don't be sad. My parents are paying and they're incredibly rich.
Victor: (quietly; to himself) No dog food for Victor tonight.
Would you rather the book be uncomprehensive? Building a Google Maps mashup requires a lot of previous programming knowledge, perhaps the book isn't intended for an experienced programmer. Just throwing that out here.
Being a XP 64-bit user for 7 months now, I have to disgree completely with this comment. I beleive that x64 Windows is the MOST stable and capable of all Windows operating systems. It costs less then 32bit XP because they want people to have any incentive possible to convert to 64-bit systems. Drivers are not a problem if you know what you're doing. There is nothing buggy about the code either. I've ran this computer for months without a reboot, and I have never even had an application crash. I agree with you on one thing however, Windows ME was a pinched loaf.
I understand you're being facetious, but I just wanted to interject because psuedo-censorship really bothers me.
The problem with media regulation is this: it imposes the views of the majority on a minority populace; thus limiting the number of differing viewpoints in a society, creating conformity. Comformity leads to apathy, and apathy leads to more regulation. Kind of a vicious cycle, eh? Also, once something becomes 'regulated' it becomes very difficult to unregulate it if the law is too stringent. Let's have some faith, for once, in the intelligence of our fellow man and not in the bureaucracy of the government.

Or, more practically, a neural Surge Protector with battery backup (and a HUGE warranty!).
