How does blender stack up against other programs. I can't afford something like Maya, so the free aspect is a huge plus, but what about the resultant quality/ usability?

Of those of you that actually have an iPhone 4.

1. Are you able to duplicate the problems

2. If so, does it affect your everyday use of the phone?

3. If so, are you happy with a free bumper case?

If you don't have an iPhone and feel that you must respond to bash it.

1. Why is it that you mindlessly bash Apple products by accusing Apple users of mindlessly using them?

I have a 2002 Honda Civic Ex sedan with about 105k miles. Sometime before 110k I need to get the timing belt replaced. At about 95k my mechanic asked if I wanted to replace the timing belt and the water pump. According to the owners manual the timing belt must be replaced, but it simply says check the water pump.

I don't want to pay for unnecessary repairs, but I also know that both of these jobs are quite involved, but can be done together fairly easily. Is there anything I can do to check myself or do I just have to trust my mechanic when I take it in. Also, what is the cost difference between the timing belt job and adding in the water pump at the same time?

Well? How many?

I've heard people say things akin to "its your last day of freedom." I understand having a parting with the guys/girls, respectively, but why do people hiring strippers? Is that less common than I would think? It seems to me that if you are getting married it should be because you love the person and want to commit yourself to them. Doesn't it seem odd that you'd celebrate the occasion by hiring a stripper?
