In my opinion, the thing that XP's Start menu does right is providing both static and automagically-ordered shortcuts. If I start launching an application frequently, *BAM* it's suddenly at my fingertips, but the existing "All Programs" tree never changes without my explicit approval.

Huh, and I always thought it was exposure to Chemical X that caused brains to double in size.

blue slushee + cranberry juice = red and blue parfait-style beverage
Before reading the article, I figured the department was intended to help people who stay up all night playing games (even though they should know better). Is there such a thing as Gamers' Anonymous?

If you choose to be a meany, and not forward this email, you will die in 5 years, and so will everyone in your family.
What luck! I was just diagnosed with terminal cancer, and my doctor said I had 3 months to live! Does the FDA know about this new treatment?
I can recommend VDMSound, which has allowed me to enjoy the music on both 2000 and XP.

Man, when I first read that, I assumed he was talking about Earth and 2002 AA29. That's A LOT of duct tape...

What are you talking about? There is nothing Perl cannot do!
The heroes have just crash landed on an unknown planet. The SCIENTIST in the group checks the readings and utters this classic line:
"Well, the gravity is close to that of Earth. The atmosphere must be breathable!"
Dang, and I thought that new Microsoft Office Keyboard was big...
Looks like I'm going to have to get a wider desk.
