Just wait until John Calvin Skywalker is born, and takes a stand against the straying Imperial Church. I bet he'll nail a list of which lines from The Phantom Menace contradict the facts as presented in the font-spring of all things Jedi, the original Star Wars Trilogy, not the Special Editions, to the door of Industrial Light and Magic.
That seems like it would be complicated, at least until there are special keyboard keys for each function, ala the Windows and Properties keys. Compaq has already taken the first steps toward this.
What does DnD have to do with Windows in particular? I was playing tho Gold Box games from TSR (Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, etc.) on my C=>64 long before I got a Windows PC. For that matter, Pool of Radiance looked better on our Amiga than on the PC.
And before that, I played DnD with pencils, paper and dice.
It's made worse by programs that do more than just grab multiple extensions, the ones that DELETE all the old filetype entries, and mash the poached filetypes into one entry, a $LICK_MY_ASSWARE entry. FACSys from Optus Software does this sort of crap.
At that point, you either have to start removing and reinstalling various software packges to try and steal back your filetypes, or go in and rebuild them by hand.
Yeah, I get a mental image of frat boys guarding the geeks at a party, keeping them from leaving their appointed area, a la the "geek couch" in the opening scene of Animal House.
"How often do you brush, Ralph?"
"3 times a day, sir."
"Why must you turn my office into a House of Lies? Let's look at a picture book, The Big Book of British Smiles!"

Tell me, what is the average ground-speed of an unsalted slug?
Surely you meant to give its mass in slugs.
Well, what is the mass of one slug? My garden has slugs of quite diverse sizes, and I doubt all of them have identical mass.
Dammit! Beer REALLY stings when it's blown out my nose! Now I have to clean my monitor.
Naw, that'll jest be them thar Kentukians!
Maybe they aren't allowed to say "life-partner" on PBS.
Thank god for USA Today: America's Pravda
Makes me think of of a discussion Milo Bloom had with the editor of the Bloom Picayune:
(paraphrased from memory)
Editor: "Run the weather map across pages 96-102 in 50 eye-catching colors!!"
Milo: "It's the dreaded 'USA Today' effect."
Yeah, we wouldn't want them on the fattening side of the Force.
Well, if they were, they might drop dead of cardiac problems BEFORE they got to my house. Every cloud has a silver lining.
I get a picture of Linus taking his cue from Chunk, and telling everything.
"And then, when I was in 4th grade, I pushed my sister down the stairs and blamed it on the dog.
But this, this was the worst. I mixed up a batch of fake puke, and snuck it into the movies. I went up into the balcony...."
Now that would be a great interview.

Now you can preach to the Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses: Convert them to the Light Side of the Force.
Well, yeah. Xenu was here 75 million years ago, remember. There's an old, old precedent right there.
Operation Clambake has more information, including info on Xenu.

let if have keyboard shortcuts
At least in MS Office apps. Just record a macro that types the word "if", and assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
each and every pixel is assigned a function.
That seems like it would be complicated, at least until there are special keyboard keys for each function, ala the Windows and Properties keys. Compaq has already taken the first steps toward this.

No, I think he means you should fly Southwest, United or TWA, instead of America Trans Air.

The combined vibration of the coolings fans would make timothy's pr0n browsing that much better.
THAT'S the drool factor, so to speak.
