Well, it beats eating hamburgers over at the In-Laws house. =p

Nice list Dave, as always. I'm really enjoying these "Open Source" articles. Keep 'em coming.

Oh, and Knights reminds me of a blending of Nethack with another game called Rogue. Use to play that on my IBM XT (Intel 8088). Good times, good times...

"This is why I will never ever buy any digital music. Long live P2P!!!"

So, you cannot afford the higher price, so it justifies stealing it? Good job. =p

As to the guy who rips to FLAC and then to MP3... really? WTF? Rip it to AIFF or WAV which is 2 channel PCM and convert to any lossy format you desire. No need to rip to a compressed lossless format unless you are hurting on hard drive space.

Thought it was interesting that both of Microsoft's ads feature HP machines. Wonder how Dell / Acer / Levono feel about being left out in the cold?

You spelled "Credit" wrong in the title.

 And thanks Chase! Thats two of your cards now in my wallet. First, Washington Mutual changed to Chase Bank, and now CC turns into a Chase Mastercard for Best Buy.

Agreed. I just ran into this with an order I placed this week. It used to be that if I placed an order with the Egg, I'd get it in three days. Now they take a day to process, and even though they charge me sales tax and ship out of CA, I get tracking info that my package has been shipped out ground and will take 7 days to get. WTF? Its only 200 miles away from me and its going to take 7 days to arrive. Me thinks that this may be a sign of Newegg's cost cutting measures plus the loss of DHL. Both TigerDirect and Zipzoomfly offer 3 day supersaver as their standard shipping method over 7 day ground.
