Well, most people (on Windows at least) do use full-screen (or rather maximized) mode. And "block exit" mode makes having multiple windows on-screen less usefull - well, if you have decent drag'n'drop capabilities;-)
Pie menus only really make sense when you have one fixed menu with max. 6 choices. Contextual menus keep changing (else they wouldn't be contextual) and get more annoying the more items they have and/or the closer they get to the edges of the screen (because they keep running into them).
Anyway, neither are sufficient compared to what a permanent menu bar offers - which leaves us with the decission where to put that.
Well, let's look at the problems he had with his iBook:
"First of all, my iBook didn't like the software I needed to run my Palm M515. Crashes and screen seizures were regular occurrences. And the iBook doesn't play well with a lot of things that are part of the Microsoft world."
Errhm. He has one buggy Software from Palm (unless of course "Crashes and screen seizures" had nothing to do with the Palm software - then he had a broken machine and was too stupid to notice), and unnamed problems with "parts of the Microsoft world." - probably meaning something like this.
It wasn't posted as News, It was posted under the topic "Apple". They could have posted it under "It's funny. Laugh.". But then you would have complained: "I don't get it."
1. The earth was know to be round since the time of the ancient Greeks, possibly earlier.
So? A lot of what was known to the classical civilizations was lost during the dark ages (at least in Europe). And then there not only was common sense ("If earth were flat, things on the bottom would just fall down."), but also the fact that the Bible was to be take literaly.
Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. And God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
See, it says "above" and "below", not "around". How can the earth be round if the Book says otherwise? Upon the stake with you, heathen! (BTW, that covers point 2.)

Well, how is Google supposed to know about your webpage? It has to know its URL, either from a link that it found on another page it knew about, or from you telling them about it.

And the other half of the terrorists still would have done about as much damage.
You are probably right, people like Timothy McVeigh would be to much of a coward to do something like this. However, other American nutcases may not.

Better a body in the seat than a body on the street.
Erhm, the Word of God doesn't say anything about blessing countries here.
Because this is nothing that could benefit the patents of some mega-corp or help America build better Bio-weapons.
Of course it won't be the U.S. occupying force sapping Iraq's oil fields for profit - it will be a handful of American Oil Giants doing that.
Does that mean she's gonna wear a skimpy leather armour? Can't get far without - no, wait...
Depending on the compiler. Very much. In the very same article you see a 800MHz easily beating a 1GHz P3.
Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam and Spam?
Probaly not, since this seems to be the only of over a dozen BMW sites with this "feature".
BTW, the Earth isn't a circle, it's a sphere. A circle is flat.
And to top it off: Matthew 4:8
Sure, that mouintain wasn't on earth.I predict they won't build another one.
No, he used a "beleagured PowerMac" - whatever that is.

Well, he did not write "If you're a fan like iAm..."
Early on in the article he talks about his "beleagured PowerMac".
And in 5 years we'll know it was the same thing with "Trustworthy Computing".

And what does the title of the comic refer to? Duh.
