Hellz no. I'm working an internship in high school for a tech company in downtown where-i-live-O and getting paid much better than anyone at my age (not that that's spectacularly high )- not to mention the experience! Maybe i just got lucky, but i'm sure there's opportunity out there.

Wow.

nope. impossible.

i've never had it fail. well, rarely. occasionally, i get an odd error message and a specific file won't play. but i've streamed hundreds of files and had maybe 5 fail.

i do this right now with an x-box 360. i have TVersity (Free) installed on my main desktop, which not only shares all the folders over UPnP, but can on the fly transcode formats the xbox cannot handle (like .mkv) info xbox versions. works like a charm. With an xbox membership (not free)*, you can also stream Netflix…

On a related note, how far do you stretch Windows product keys? I.E., is it okay to use one purchased key on the same machine multiple times (past the three Microshaft allows)? And what constitutes a new "machine". If i replace the mobo or the CPU do i need a new product key?

Dare I say the name of such a ludicrously expensive product?

you mean these? [www.therestartpage.com]

i always keep an AAA and a ZZZ in my contacts on everything. it sends the email/sms/whatever else spammers figure out how to do to my personal phone and work emails and numbers so that i'm the first to know.

use truecrypt to encrypt drives.

coincidentally, i keep the battery out of the laptop when using it as my psudo-desktop. (it's hooked up to a battery backup in case of power failure anyways.

this is correct, as long as there are no outside forces. (air resistance, fluctuations in gravity, heat, friction (lol).
