Like I said, you have to read the book before you start bashing the theories. Warp drive could maybe work because you are not really traveling faster than light. What's really happening is that the warp engines are warping the entire space-time continuum in a manner that squishes the universe in front of you and expands it behind you. Einsteins theories about the makup of the universe (ever hear about gravity being a bending of space-time?) are wat allows warp theory to be a possibility.
You really should read the book. After reading it, you realize that there really is some real science in Star Trek. Obviously they don't get it all right, but alot of it they did. I think I even remember reading about something they got right by accident.
As an example, the author talks about warp drive. According to him, the theory behind it is good, but the amount of energy required would be prohibitive.
Go pick up a copy of the book. It's really quite interesting.
But you shouldn't be calling it just "Windows". You should be calling it "Microsoft Windows" to give MS the credit it deserves. I'm not a MS supporter, but even the people who think Mr. Gates is a god don't go around calling it Microsoft Windows all the time. Billy still answers questions if somebody asks him a question about Windows instead of Microsoft Windows. I mean, sure, you can call it Microsoft Windows if you want to, but the term Windows works equally well.

I guess you don't know about slashnet. It's a slashdot IRC network. Fire up your local IRC client, and go to irc.slashdot.org. And IRC sure beats the pants of of those lame web-based live chat thingies.

Thank you! That's just what I needed to make me feel better today. I like it! :-)
Well, think of it as the "sweep the floor special," only it's a bit more modern. :-)

How the heck can you have a wind chill that is warmer than the actual temperature?! Unless you meant a 25 below zero windchill.
