Is it wrong to feed birds in backyard everyday?

I live in snow covered Michigan. As long as the ground is snow covered I have been feeding the birds every day and usually the same cast of characters show up: starlings,sparrows ,cardinals,blue jays,morning doves and pigeons. Is this "spoiling" the birds making it this too easy for them,keeping them from learning to being more self sufficient or has it been the right thing to do in snow and cold of Michigan ?

    What sort of steamer should I buy?

    I am a college student looking to furnish his first apartment & kitchen. I already have a basic set of pots and pans, a 12" wok and all the cutlery imaginable. I really am looking for a steamer that I could use to steam vegetables. I just want something that comes with its own pot/pan or that i can stick over one of my other pots/wok.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Is there anyway to install two different ipods onto one ipod?

    Say I had an Ipod, but I wanted two Ipods. One for a certian type of music, and the other for another type of music. And I didn’t want to store both of the music genres on the same Ipod. Would there be any way to put two "Ipod programs on one Ipod hard drive". Kind of like when you have two different logins for windows XP, each login has completely different settings, and completely different files, and is basically a different PC. Would there be any way to do the same type of thing with an Ipod? (I actually have a Sansa e200 mp3 player, but it can do everything an Ipod nano can do and more, it can play videos, you can put pictures on it and you can record with it).

    which graphing calculator app on ipods is the best for statistics?

    I downloaded the pi83 application onto my ipod touch but later found out that it doesn’t calculate distributions or z-scores. Is there a more "statistic friendly" graphing calculator application for ipods?

    I live in Tallahassee, Florida. The rent is 0 a month and "includes pest control". We have not received this service and we have requested it for two months now. I want the landlord to repay me for the service I have not received but do not know how much it costs for a one bedroom apartment…

    Do those sonic pest control things really keep mice away?

    I’ve seen these sonic pest control things in stores and I’m just wondering if they work. You plug them in and they supposedly make a high pitched noise that humans and dogs can not hear, but mice and rats can and it keeps them away. I live in an old apartment complex and I can hear scurrying in the walls occasionally. I would really like to keep the "scurrying" out of my apartment. Before I waste my money, I’d love a second opinion!
