@Link2187: Please don't use the sentence "the average citizen will never be inconvenience by this unless..." ever.
If you allow bureaucrats to decide who gets on a shit list, sooner or later you'll be on that list.

@Ryan: seconded.
@FearlessUser: common sense?! you must not be from this planet. :)
One good training option is going to an empty parking lot, and practice gaining control from a skid. It will come in very handy if you ever get in trouble.
Edit: damn it. one other good option, before writing a comment is to read the other comments. Had I done that, I would have noticed the million and a half suggestions to go in empty parking lots and go nuts.

you know what would be really good too? a Android/iPhone app. that would work wonders.
so... use a $500 program rather then spend $500 on a camera that takes better photos to begin with? hm... :)
some of the better camera apps out there help out. so does a) thinking about what the shoot when and b) a steady hand.

reporting like this should be done with two independent sources. Otherwise, it's not a fact, is a "report by X foundation" which, turns out, has a vested interest in a particular solution.
the most important gadget is a solar charger. having a bunch of cables won

@jongabriel92: it's a legitimate email - probably you've played the trial. I got stuff like that from Blizzard as well.
While I would not (and did not) click on any links in emails like the one above (sometime it pays to be paranoid), if you used the same password for those sites that you used on Gawker real-estate, I would go to the sites in questions myself and change the passwords as necessary.

@Niki S: ooo.. "just the peasants." that is one nice quote right there.
@TimDroz43: because doing so would prevent them from offering you this option, then charging you 99.99 for the privilege.
@fuzzylollipop: I have one just like it, and it's fantastic.
Of course, now I'm thinking... would it really void the warranty if I took the dash off my car to look for extra outlets? :)

I wish I could. But I am innovative, goal-oriented individual, who is proactively motivated and dynamic team-player, thriving in a team environment while being ... ah, shit, I can't keep that up. There goes my results-oriented post.
@yiff: @Quine: what is it with people and not getting jokes on Mondays? I mean, seriously - why did that comments strike you as serious? Plus, WTFC if it's complicated or not - it's easy if you're used to it, hard if you're not. jeesh....
@booticon: as everyone says, you have to reset the password. Except that you need to be logged out to do that. So log out, reset password, log back in (with temp password), change password.
Even CTRL+ALT+DEL is more complicated on a Mac. :)
here's a thought... don't use your email/bank/etc password for blogs/newspapers, etc. not exactly password security, but should offer a little bit of peace of mind. :)
@Csb1974: I think Microsoft took down the tool a while back for "copyright infringement" or something like that. I guess they had taken code for parts of it form other places.
Getting a Window's disk from your IT department should not be very hard (they usually have tons of them sitting around). If that's not in the cards, try making a backup disk via the software preinstalled on your computer (OK, that means you have to clean the system each time you have to re-install, but at least you have some physical media to hold on too).
lastly - you might think of purchasing a copy of Windows 7 via their student discount packadge. at $30 it's a heck of a deal, you can make an ISO of it (and burn it to a disk if you must), and you still have your original key to install on the computer.
