How do I look up current global commodity supplies? Even better, is there somewhere I can compare global commodity prices versus their supply and consumption rates over an extended period?

What's a good word for 'a spatially or geographically incongruous person/event/object', as an analogue to anachronism, which is 'temporally incongruous'? (New words okay)

I sent an almost-new laptop into the service department of a very reputable computer company for repair and they replaced the hard drive on it and threw away all my data without asking. There was nothing wrong with the hard drive. What is a reasonable request on them to make up for this?

This
huge thread kills Safari/OmniWeb. I'd like there to be a preference that allows me to see massive posts broken up by 100s of comments or something. Alternatively, is there a different CSS file that can be loaded for these that will keep Safari/OmniWeb from crashing?

Recommend some sappy science fiction/fantasy to me please! I've read and liked Anthony, Heinlein, Goodkind, Card, Stephenson, Martin, and Rowling, but what I'm really looking for is touchy-feely stuff.

Is
this setting off anybody else's self-link-dar? 8 comments to the 'Filter and one answer to AskMetafilter, no profile information, and she favorites her own not-particularly-interesting post?

Name our soccer team, oh great AskMetafilter. I want something funny, potentially crude, potentially offensive, and hopefully tied in with the fact that we play for an applied math and physics department.

It is an official language
in this US State, and if somebody writes you a check in it while you're here, you better know your
numbers. Although its usage fell after a sharp decrease in the native speakers' population and a later
'ban',
(not really) in the late 19th century, it is now making a comeback. Wikipedia gets its
name from the language. Sadly, though there are almost 4 million Wikipedia articles, a scant
27 of them are written in it. Of course, if you just need a dictionary, it's not hard to
find.

In an effort to increase productivity, I've been trying to escape my all-too-familiar laptop with all its enticing shortcuts and bookmarks and start using my school's sexy G5 workstations. How can I install teTeX or some other LaTeX package on these babies without root?

So I bought a truck from my brother-in-law and brought it over to Chicago from San Francisco last August. I have a transfer of title from him but I have never registered the vehicle (oops). Now I'm leaving the country and selling the truck to a friend. What's the easiest way to transfer title to him?

How do I prevent OS X keybindings from over-riding my applications? For example, when programming in Emacs the auto-complete feature is normally bound to command-tab. By default, if I press command-tab in my Emacs session it will try to tab out to other open programs. How do I let OS X know to leave command-tab alone?
