Actually, T-Mobile just rolled out contract-less plans which are cheaper than the normal ones, but you don't get a phone discount with them.

No, a W usually means you withdrew BEFORE the drop deadline. If you drop out after, you are stuck with an F.

I spent many hours playing that with my cousin as a kid.... great game.

in addition, I believe itunes for windows was not released until 2003 or 2004

I own neither a 360 or a ps3, but if i were to get one, i see the ps3 as the cheaper option. once you factor in the wireless adapter for the 360 and the monthly fees for xbox live, it is the more expensive option.

yes linux is for a select group of people: those who can use computers. typing in commands is part of using a computer. fact is, a lot of time it is possible to do everything you want to do in linux via GUI, but doing it in a terminal is EASIER. especially when you are looking for help. take the following example:
ok open your home folder, right click the $foo file and go to the permissions tab, then click the executable box and close. then double click that same file. oh wait, you arent using GNOME, well lemme figure out how to do that in KDE, the menus might be different.....etc...etc
OR
copy/paste this into terminal: $ chmod +x ~/$foo
$ ~/$foo
