I disagree with the idea that anyone who buys DRM products deserves to be ripped off, Silva. While I can understand that there is, perhaps, a bit of schadenfreude to the situation for the copyfight crowd, most people don't have time to investigate every last legal detail of media they purchase.
It's purely Microsoft who's misbehaving here.

There's a really nice (free) memorization site called quizlet.com. I don't know if it uses any of these schmancy chrestomathic algorithms, but it's kinna schmancy in its own right.

I did a double take when I saw this one, because I've done a bit of reading about Bluefields. It's kind of an interesting place. Not too many people know that on the east coast of Nicaragua, which is separated from Managua by a hard-to-pass stretch of swampland, English is more commonly spoken than Spanish. There are also a few dwindling local languages, one of which, Rama, was a subject of study by MIT uberlinguist Ken Hale.
@Takuan: The Mosquito coast (which actually refers to the local Miskito people), does indeed include Bluefields.
Bluefields also has a minor history of some rather catchy reggaeish pop... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zu6D_vuojs
