I did something very similar with some Sirius gift cards that my uncle sent me, but XM wouldn't take (I didn't think it would be a problem with the merger and all :/). Traded $60 of Sirius cards for $55 in XM cards on a message board. Not a bad trade at all. I'll have to try this site sometime.

BS on the Toshiba. Every Toshiba product I've touched turned to poop in the warranty period, yet they refused to do any repairs until I threatened to report them to the BBB, at which point they sent me a system with a McGuyver'd fix that lasted just to the outside of the warranty.

"inadequate" quality control also made a mockery of avast antivirus not to long ago. Update was pushed out without being tested, and quarantined system files left, right, and center.

Every DVD player I've ever used starts the disk from the /very/ beginning if you press Stop Stop Play. Starting the unskippable previews again. I tried Stop Stop Stop Play on mine a while back. Did the exact same thing.

@jupiterthunder: The page loaded quicktime for me. Nice thing about quicktime in firefox is that it simply provides me with a useless black box.

If I had the time, I bet I could write a greasemonkey script that would just override the body onload action (assuming that's what's popping up iTunes).

Just what I suspected from typing on my iPod vs. typing on the touchscreen phones @ T-Mobile.

Yet again, for 32-bit NT-based systems, I'm going to have to say Cobian Backup. It works on 64-bit as well, but without access to volume shadow copy. The programmer says that the next release, later this year, will support VSS on 64-bit. When that happens, I'll be using it again on my computer. Until then, I'm

VOTE: Cobian Backup.

I've actually done something similar with a laptop I was upgrading. The bottom has one cover to access the HDD bays, RAM, CPU, WiFi card, dedicated graphics card, pretty much everything. And there were at least 5 different sized screws.

@jeffk: It is available in Vista. I had Home Premium 64-bit, and about a week after Microsoft said that it was available, it just popped up in my media center. It took a little longer for it to pop up in my fiancée's media center (Home Premium 32-bit). I guess it just downloads the icon when it updates the guide

I'm obviously very tired. I clicked on this think thinking it said, "Build a Pizza Oven out of a Water Gerbil".

I'm going to vote a combination of software depending on what exactly you want to do. If you just want to copy it in Windows:

I tried Microsoft Security Essentials, but it let through a drive-by virus on my fiancée's mom's computer. Cleaned the hooks loading the virus on startup, installed Avast, and bada-bing. MSE is fine for slow computers, IF you never use IE for anything, and have a very locked down firewall.

I'm hoping jump lists are brought back in time for the stable release. Those are so useful in 7 for other apps. I'm suprised the Office 2010 public beta doesn't support jump lists.

Gigabit Wi-Fi. 2012.

Any idea if there is a hack to change the desktop wallpaper in starter?

Strangely, Windows 7 is still internally version 6. So will the next version be "Windows 8", or "Windows 7 — For real this time!"? #windows7
