At my graphic design job, I use the standard Dell optical mouse that came with my workstation. For my laptop, I use a Logitech TrackMan Wheel, as I don't need a proper mousing surface. I find them both equally easy to use -- just not for the same tasks.
For design work, the trackball is too imprecise -- I need to get pixel-perfect accuracy, and it's a lot easier to do with a mouse, IMHO. But for web browsing, yes, the trackball is a lot more comfortable.
A finger-oriented trackball, like the Kensington, might be easier than a thumb-oriented trackball. A co-worker swears by his Logitech Marble Mouse, but I haven't bothered learning it. He's the only one in group of 15 graphic designers who uses a trackball of any kind.
The serious design choice, though, is neither a mouse nor a trackball, but a Wacom tablet, which a few of us do use. It's precise, easy to use, and it's pressure-sensitive. The trackball just doesn't come close there.
No, I'm a graphic designer; my google box was fed by the terms "Adobe Type Manager" and "Suitcase manager". I'd used Adobe Type Manager pretty frequently before Windows 2000 introduced integrated ATM font support.
But thanks for asking.
We have plenty of methane that doesn't even need to be mined. Most public landfills have to vent methane properly to prevent explosions. With the right business model, I'm sure state & local governments could use income from selling off methane to be refined into an energy source Hell, even the EPA supports this course of action. Why bother with underwater mining, when it's practically in our own backyards?
I don't see what all the fuss was about... I figured it was pretty obvious that Netscape would continue to profit while Mozilla would develop. Hasn't that been the way from the beginning? Netscape's still the business side of it... and as pets.com and priceline.com can tell ya, you need money to run a business.

Microsoft has had just about enough of CentOS blocking access to websites and has taken matters into its own hands.
Did they start charging for Outlook Express 6?

I hope I'm not the only one that had to wonder what iTunes and amaroK had to do with Adobe Type Manager and Suitcase.
That's a brilliant idea. I'm surprised I haven't seen an implementation of it yet, honestly.
Does it come with a giant-ass spoiler to control the airflow or something?
Yeah, car navigation's a real good idea.
I wonder if I'm the only one whose first thought, upon reading the headline, was of Operation Overkill II's storyline (though not quite this URL)...
The public landfill near the city I used to live just straight-out burned the gas, for no other purpose than to prevent uncontrolled explosions later.
It's good to know it's being utilized elsewhere, at least.

Wow, that's right up there with "Bush knew about 9-11 two months before it happened"...
Because it was offtopic. You made an ontopic comment to an offtopic response, and it was... well, lame. What do you want, 'insightful?'
Lest being called a hypocrite, I recognize that I'm offtopic too. Wah.
