I really like the rosetta stone software, but its so expensive! $549 for the entire set per language. I know this is probably a fair price, given that you will become fluent in the language with that, but is there no way to obtain it for less?

P.S. I am talking about ROSETTA STONE, Im not looking for a cheaper alternative, but cheaper ROSETTA STONE itself

So I'm making another trip to Japan soon, and I'm looking for a good backpack to buy, as it is a backpacking trip. I'm staying for about a month, and I'm looking for anything from a heavy-duty backpack for all my stuff, to just a good daypack for when Im away from the hostel. Any recommendations? Also please note, as I am a backpacker, low price is key.

My computer had to be reloaded recently, and I'm trying to revive my itunes library.

Is there any program that does that?

I saw on "Mythbusters" the other day that a standard, diesel car, will run off of used cooking oil without any modifications. But there wasnt very much information given. Can you put cooking oil AND diesel into the gas tank? are there any longterm problems?

We've all seen the news, congress approves a bill with a timetable included, Bush vetoes it. Bush wants an open-ended cash flow, and congress wants an idea of when this will all come to a close. If congress is so determined why don't they just start cutting funding for the war? What will this all result in?

(Serious answers please)
