I was looking into Microsoft's Volume Licensing, but I just completely don't understand it--it sounds like they want you to have 5 retail versions of Vista installed on the computers already.

In short is there any way for me to get 5 _keys_? I have media already, I just need the license keys, and if there's any way I can do that cheaply and quickly, that'd be great!

SHORT AND SWEET:

I need a LEGAL, NON-DESTRUCTIVE, and especially FUNNY way of getting back at these kids who keep my from sleeping almost every night.

I was thinking of Super-Soakering them with vinegar or something, or maybe just getting loud speakers and blasting Hillary Duff at them.

They leave their doors open at night, and get really loud between 1:00 AM and 4:00 AM.

DETAILS:

Every night, the kids next to me and the kids across from them scream randomly, blast music, play video games, and just talk very loud from about 9:00 PM to 4:00 AM. They leave their doors open, so it's even louder, especially echoing in the hallway. They're noisy in the day, too. Sometimes I go to sleep very early so I can fall asleep, but either one of their screams wakes me up or my roommate comes in at 2:00 or so wakes me up, and then I can't go to sleep until these kids shut up for the night.

- I tried telling the RA, but he's their friend, so he really doesn't care

- I tried asking them to shut their doors

- I tried asking them to keep it down

I really don't get it, there's this little pudgy half-Asian girl with thick glasses and an annoying laugh and wail, there's this fat kid who just randomly goes "waaaaaah!", there's this spoiled kid who cursed his mother off and has his phone conversations in front of my door (he wants to form a band like the Postal Service, his girlfriend breaking up with him really changed his outlook on life--I know the whole story), and they're all friends and they all get very loud at night.

It's really becoming a problem since I haven't gotten a solid 4 straight hours of sleep since I came to college, and I'm afraid to tell my parents because they'll just get pissed off.

What to do?

All suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

- Steve.

I shouldn't have to, right? I just get in with the ticket I paid for in the first place.

This is what I did last time, and the conductor on the train I transferred to looked at me funny and asked, "Planning on going anywhere else with this ticket?" when I showed him my (already-punched) ticket that got me into Secaucus. I told him no, told him I thought I didn't have to pay for another ticket, and asked what I did wrong, and he said "no, no, just wondering."

What the hell?!

So I'd like to know what the NJ Transit procedure is for transfers as well so I don't have to interact with these freaks.

If so, if you are comfortable saying so, what for?

I see a lot of "liberals-are-evil" kind of posts, "Barack HUSSEIN Obama," tons of people who think Barack's Muslim (see other question).

It puzzles me.

And where does all the yellow come from?

Or do people make them cuter than they really are?

I have a Yamaha keyboard for which the AC power adapter (transformer, the little black box) seems to be nonfunctional.

The original transformer puts out 700mA current. I found another transformer in my house that puts out the same voltage (12V) but 800mA current.

Is it okay to use that one to power my keyboard, or do I risk frying something?
