Parent knows their PA alcohol laws... A few low-tech loopholes already in use: Grocery stores can't sell alcohol, but as the parent pointed out restaurants and bars can sell beer in sub-case/keg quantities. The workaround is to put a cafe in your grocery store, section the beer off near the cafe with it's own register and sell away. I know Wegman's, Whole Foods, and a few other stores do this. Whole Foods even has a little "pub" inside with taps so you can fill growlers. BYOB restaurants can't server alcohol, but they can give it away. Mexican restaurants have "complimentary" tequila with $5 glasses of margarita mix. Other places do just give you free drinks (unfortunately far from top-shelf). I suppose the reason this Walmart vending machine is news at all is because they are creating a loophole for liqueur and wine. Previously there was no workaround for that, state stores only (or a trip to Delaware).

I'll second Media Monkey. I found it while looking for an iTunes replacement years ago. I previously only used iTunes to tag my music, and then it started to fuck that up too (was putting long random strings in the comments field and wiping out album art for no reason). Never looked back.

Sprint actually offers data-only for phones (including the new EVO), its called Sprint Relay: http://www.sprintrelay.com/ I tried to get it, but its only for the hearing impaired. To complete your order you have to provide a video phone # so they can sign to you. I considered finding someone on Craigslist that could sign for me, but I eventually just caved and got the regular extortion plan (including the $10 4G fee despite not living in a covered area and never turning that radio on). Try walking into a store and asking the rep about data-only plans for phones; the looks on their faces are hilarious. Once you want that look to gloss over start talking about your home asterisk server, SIP softphone applications, and the utter pointlessness of cellular voice service.
