I don't have to use the command line that much in Windows, but I have been known to use some batch and kixtart scripting from time to time. What I wasn't aware of, though, was the SUBST command. It gives you a nice way to map a deep folder on your PC as its own drive letter. There is a catch, but it's still handy if you refer to a folder from the command line a lot. If you're a mouse junky, it's ok, but you could just make a shortcut to the folder.

My how we like to anthropomorphize things. The headline for
this article reads "In space, scientists can hear the sun scream." It's talking about an observation that solar storms produce radiation in the audible frequency spectrum. It's actually pretty cool.

Ultimate Custom Keyboard
How much would you pay for a keyboard? Personally, I'm only in for about $30 if it has a ton of features, and I'm happy to use the $10 special.

Optimus Maximus. You can fully customize the layout of this keyboard, create custom maps for games, languages, programming, writing, etc., and store them on a flash drive. Each key has its own LCD screen that you can program with any image you want. I'd love to have one, but there is no way I'd drop that kind of coin.
