I was able to reproduce it a moment ago by viewing all the posts for the Favorite Editor poll.
In the process, Firefox 3.5.3 asked me twice "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete." and I hit continue both times in order to get it to load. My CPU was pegged once the initial part of the page loaded until the page finished loading.
Considering that it will sometimes take my computer 30 seconds to deal with all the javascript when I view a poll, I'd say yes. Funny that you post that websites don't use much JavaScript on a website that obviously uses a lot of it.
My room mate has a Brother 2070N, and while it works fairly well under Linux, it uses a binary blob to convert from what ever format you give it to print to it's custom internal binary format.
I normally don't mind this too much, except they only support x86, and I wanted to install the drivers on an old PPC that I have lying around and use as a server.
I have friends who only communicate reliably by facebook. I tried communicating by email, but they don't check their email often enough for that to work. Monthly is a fair description.
I personally view this as a way that after I have set it up on both ends (because they won't be able to), I can communicate to people I currently can't without giving my information to Facebook. I don't have a facebook account right now because I don't trust facebook.
A cool addition to the system would be for it to call 911 if the car gets in an accident. Help would then be able to find the troubled vehicle quickly by it's GPS coordinates.
I'm not sure how this would work technically, but I would imagine that it could tell when the car stops REALLY fast or feels a sudden large shock and call for help.

Thanks! I'm looking forwards to cleaning out that binary blob when I get some free time.

Use the IMAP feature on Thunderbird to download them locally.
I prefer vimdiff, since it will throw the differences up side by side and I can then edit them.
