This is exactly it. Megaupload's entire business model was advertising views and click through for any file that generated traffic.
Most of the other "cloudbox" providers charge you for space, which to me is more like a self-storage unit.
I picked up a Canon S95 after owning an older model that lasted me for years. The S100 is the newest model upgrade from that, fits in your pocket, and has a fully manual mode, right down to the focus. Not bad for a point-n-shoot. The lens is the equivalent of 24mm-120mm zoom on a 35mm camera.
Pretty decent range of capabilities out of the box, but you can also expand on the range using CHDK, if you don't mind getting a bit technical.
Well, I didn't say, "TO THE EXTREME", nor did I even say "live every day like its your last".
However, what I'm left wondering is why on Earth you equate "live every day like its your last" (keep in mind, all I said was, carefully evaluate how you want to live your remaining days) as spending beyond your means or even spending beyond what you imagine to be an unattainable sum of money.
Why also would you need a timer to tell you how much time you have left? Yes, plans are great, but would you really be happy if you knew for certain and just sat and watched the plan unfold day after day? Maybe I just much prefer the chaotic unknowingness that is day to day life. Plans seldom account for the happenstance that is opportunity.
Why wait until you're faced with aggressive, difficult treatment? How do you want to live your remaining days now? Your life is already terminal enough to carefully evaluate that.
I can second this. I've got an S95 (previous model) and love it. Full automatic to full manual mode and fits in your pocket. Has the sensor of the low-end Canon SLR's - much better than the sensor used in many point-n-shoots. The S90 was also very good, but only does standard video, not HD.
I bought it after owning a Canon S230 for 8 years. I loved that one so much (built like a tank, and got some great shots out of it) I got the S90, then upgraded to the S95 shortly after. Find one of those if you don't want to pay full price for the S100.
CHDK also works on the S90 and S95 (don't know about the S100 yet), if you want to do some advanced hacking (like writing scripts!)

Forget global warming. Read this article on the acidification of the ocean by CO2 absorption:

CO2 is a far greater hazard to the ocean than the atmosphere.
I am soooo damn tired of word 'cyber' now. Used to be kind of a neat word, way back when it actually meant something.
I could see a case where someone's life may be in jeopardy if there was a searchable index of SSID names that automatically zooms into a location on a map. Someone being stalked by an aggressive ex, for instance, who doesn't realize their SSID is tied to a map location that is easily searchable. Let's say said aggro ex set up the WAP in first place and so knows the SSID but lost it in the divorce/breakup, or even willingly gave it up knowing they'd eventually be able to search for it via google maps.
Best use of a Swiss Ball, ever.
I nearly fell over when I saw a bunch of Impossible Project stock at Denver Pro Photo.
Keep up the good work! (from a film fan)
You're definitely on their list. The question to ask next is what list it is.
