Video-card might be shot. Or, like with my MacBook Pro which didn't turn on randomly one day, the Logic Board could be dead.
Of course, those are the worst case scenarios.

Do you have a CF reader?
If you do:
Put card in
open it up on your desktop
drag and drop all contents to your internal hard drive
drag and drop to your external
This will give you 2 complete copies of your raw
If you don't:
transfer footage with the utility to your internal
Then drag and drop all media onto external
This will also give you 2 copies of your raw
Transcode raw only on the drive you are working with. If you need to relink to your backup later, you will have to transcode that when the time comes. But I would keep my backup as 100% raw original files.
NOTE: Don't ever change file names when you import. Use log notes for labeling. If you rename anything and your normal copy gets screwed, it will be a major PITA to relink with your media with the backup.
NOTE2: You should never work off your internal drive so I would technically replace the word "internal" above to "other external device".

I thought as long as you paid for the replacement, they'd keep giving it to you.

make sure you add the applicationServices framework then use
double idleTime;
idleTime = CGEventSourceSecondsSinceLastEventType(kCGEventSourceStateHIDSystemState, kCGAnyInputEventType);
This will give you the time in seconds that the system has been idle.

Research in the US has found that songs get stuck in our heads because they create a "brain itch" that can only be scratched by repeating the tune over and over.
In Germany, this type of song is known as an "ohrwurm" - an earworm - and typically has a high, upbeat melody and repetitive lyrics that verge between catchy and annoying.
Songs such as the Village People's YMCA, Los Del Rio's Macarena, and the Baha Men's Who Let The Dogs Out owe their success to their ability to create a "cognitive itch," according to Professor James Kellaris, of the University of Cincinnati College of Business Administration.
"A cognitive itch is a kind of metaphor that explains how these songs get stuck in our head," Professor Kellaris told BBC World Service's Outlook programme.
"Certain songs have properties that are analogous to histamines that make our brain itch.
"The only way to scratch a cognitive itch is to repeat the offending melody in our minds."
'Insidious and blatant'
Professor Kellaris has presented the early results of his earworm research at a conference on Consumer Psychology.
He said that virtually everyone suffered from a cognitive itch at one time or another.
"Across surveys I found that from 97% to 99% of the population is susceptible to earworms at some time," he stated.
"But certainly some people are more susceptible than others. Women tend to be more susceptible than men, and musicians are more susceptible to them than non-musicians."
The research is of particular interest to both the pop industry - looking to boost sales - and to advertisers, who often use jingles to get their brand name stuck in the head of listeners.
"For both advertising purposes and pop music purposes, you want something that once heard is not forgotten quickly or easily," explained jingle writer Chris Smith, adding that a good earworm was "Insidious - and often quite blatant".
"One of the key elements of an earworm is repetition," he said.
"If you have something with a lot of varied content, it's not so easily assimilated.
"So really, I would have thought that for practical purposes an earworm is really something that people can take on very quickly and then reproduce while walking down the street, much to everybody else's annoyance."
Clearing the mind
Even the greatest musicians had suffered with earworms, Mr Smith said.
Mozart's children would "infuriate" him by playing melody and scales on the piano below his room - but stopping before completing the tune.
"He would have to rush down and complete the scale because he couldn't bear to listen to an unresolved scale," Mr Smith related.
Professor Kellaris said that his research had shown that there was, however, no standard for creating an earworm - people could react differently to different tunes.
"I compiled a top 10 list of earworms in the US, but the number one item is simply the category 'other' - which means that any tune is prone to become an earworm," he said. "It's highly idiosyncratic."
And he added that there was also no guaranteed way of ever getting the song off the brain.
"Replacement strategies rarely work, because as we search our memories for a replacement tune, we're likely to come up with another earworm," he admitted.
"Some people swear by completion strategies - if you listen through a piece in its entirety, some times that will make it go away."

If you leave your phone on the dash on a sunny day it will get hot.:rolleyes:
ya, the black version absorbs an intense amount of sunlight, just leaving mine on a table outside caused it to overheat, on a windy day.

I already have a mid-2009 13" and 15" MBP and an iPhone 4 GSM and was considering handing off my 13" MBP to my sister and moving to an iPad and more mobile devices.
I have no idea why but Verizon iPads don't seem to be moving much in my area of Georgia (no idea why). I have the option of going out and getting a black 16gb, 32gb, or 64gb at my local PeachMac the last I checked availability a few hours ago. I checked yesterday too. They're either getting a ton of Verizon models or they aren't moving them.
Anyways... I kind of considered the Verizon iPad as an opportunity for the best of both worlds. iPhone 4 with AT&T bands while having the option to use Verizon 3G whenever I need it. Anyone else done this?

But I want the notifications. I just don't want (now) 15 of the same ones...
You can change it to daily and you won't get a separate notification for every post. It's much easier to simply visit the User CP and see what threads you're subscribed to that have new posts. I prefer not getting any emails.
