    I did that once in Netscape, and ugh, heaven-forbid I should of been able to get it to "work online" state again. I ended up leaving Net 4.x alone back when I used Windows. It was IE all the time for me :(

    Warp factor 9: The idea that they could exceed the speed of light exactly nine times is ludicrous. As you move further from the speed of light, the rate at which speed increases grows immeasurably larger. It would be impossible to achieve any reasonable system of measurement at these speeds.

    Warp One = Speed of light

    Warp Nine = 1649 times faster than Speed of light!

    It's not linear, more like asymptotic curve. And it doesn't matter if impossible to measure speeds, it's sci-fi.

    No plants on the enterprise: Anyone else notice this? You need plants to breathe, fools.

    Today, a nuclear submarine doesn't need to surface for months for a time, only to take aboard food, water, and mail! And they don't have any plants aboard either! What about the MIR space station? It was up there for over a decade without any plants either. How do those two things do it? They recycle air! Oh wow, modern technology, perhaps they do that on the Enterprise too! Nope, cannot be, it takes apart your arguement.

    2 things I wanna say about my Senator.

    1) During his campagian (1996) to oust D'Amato from his seat, he called anything west of the Hudson, the wild west. Yea haw, I think I will get a horse and a stetson ;) We don't need this technology thing in Rochester, seeing we're in the "wild west". Goodbye Kodak, Xerox, Paychex, etc!

    2) He's ONLY been in the Senate from 1997! How can a JUNIOR member of the Senate be appointed the chairman of the most "Important" Committee, when the Democrats have ONLY had control of the Senate for the past 9 months? Or are we talking about some a la Quantum Leap here? Where Schumer is Scott Bakula?!

    Are you from New York, do you know anything about New York? Do you keep up with current Senate events? No? That's what I thought.

    I have no tolerance for "big govt.", is what you are calling for. I thought we learned that lesson during the Carter "Administration"? Personally, I'm a gun-totting individual. Heck yea, I like the NRA. I would rather be protected from the government than terrorists. Atleast I know where the terrorists stand and can shoot them. Before I only used PGP/GnuPG a limited amount. I think I shall start using it more. The governemt has NO RIGHT to tap my email/phone/mail!!! This is NOT the Soviet Union or other 2nd world countries (figure that one out ;)), this is the United States of America. And yea, it's supposed to be governemt BY the people, FOR the people. But lately, the trend has been reveresed. They want to take away my guns, my right to privacy. By the way, I usually say desentting stuff about the governemt, and that is my God given right under the Constitution, but won't be anymore once the FBI/CIA/NSA are done raping that document. End of my ranting.

    Hmmm not really. KDE and Gnome can be made to act like Windows, so it'll be a nice and smooth transition from WinX to Linux. Heck, even Konquerer behaves how I would expect IE to behave most of the time. So I don't really see any reason to retrain, unless you use console + GUI.
