That's a nice one

Also, could anyone tell me how well that cold heat soldering iron works? I'm thinking of getting one so I can solder in class

The Cold Heat Soldering Iron is good, just use fine wire and solder, and always use fresh batteries.

How often do you have to replace the batteries if you have to a lot you could probably get rechargable batterys and it would be a lot cheaper.

I know it's had a lot of issues with Linux, a cousin of OSX. Try a download from a third party site.

Which is weird, because when one thinks of open source, they think of Linux. I've personally not had any problems installing FireFox (it runs when I need it to, which isn't often, Safari works well enough for me).

Anyway, I got:
-XBox with Fable
-$100 Best Buy gift card
-$20 Borders gift card
-bike fenders
-bike shop gift certificate
-new (atomic) watch
-new electric kettle
-Snow Crash and The Difference Engine
-boots
-$125

Invader Zim GIR toy

It depends on how often you use it. Replace the batteries every time it doesn't melt solder easily. The manuel explains it better.

Very nice. I used to have a B&W until I upgraded to a G5 last summer. They're good comps.
I got a 19" LCD for said G5, a wireless mouse for my laptop, some other little things, abunch of hardcover Tolkien books, and ~$350 cash.
