KHTML can already run on Windows, thanks to KDE-Cygwin. It's pretty easy to set up, and allows you to run stand-alone apps such as Konqueror on a Windows box. Quite a bit easier and faster than dual-booting.
Here's more on that. This article outlines how the vulnerability can be used to spoof the entire screen, this making everything suspect.
They've even got a sample exploit for you IE users. An ActiveX dialog pops up and is made to appear innocuous through the exploit (drag the dialog box and you'll see). This one is harmless, but it gives you an idea of the danger.
The fourth vulnerability (createPopup) has already been exploited in phishing scams for some time now. Initialreports of the exploit only started coming in a couple months ago, even the vulnerability has existed since IE 5.5.
Scammers use it to mask the address bar and/or other browser widgets (such as the secure icon). This exploit is particularly dangerous because it can be used to mask/disguise any part of the user's screen, including other windows or even the start menu.
I submitted it to slashdot over a month ago, but it was never greenlighted. I guess these IE vulnerabilities are so commonplace it takes several at once to make the main page...
Just because someone has an irregular heartbeat, we do not say their heart is special, or has a different way of beating. We say there is something wrong with their heart that prevents them from leading a healthy, productive life. We would probably encourage that person to undergo surgery or drug therapy.
We often forget that the mind is an organ, and can get sick, just as the liver or heart can. ADHD prevents people from leading healthy, productive lives, and is most definitely a disorder. It stands to reason, and studies have shown, that drug therapies are effective in treating ADHD.
While people have been misdiagnosed with ADHD, and while medicine isn't always the best option for every individual, we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss ADHD as a disorder and Ritalin as an effective treatment when there is so much evidence to support it.

That's like asking someone to choose between two pieces of excrement. Why not a choice between Opera and Firefox instead?
Much to Mullah Robertson's dismay, the infidel Hugo Chavez has pledged aid in the form of food and fuel. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050829/pl_afp/usweat hervenezuelaoil
Bzzt, wrong answer.
In the case of Google News,
1. It should qualify as fair use, given that it is merely a fuzzy thumbnail... otherwise Google Images would have been destroyed by lawsuits long ago.
2. They aren't using AP's bandwidth, since the thumbnails are hosted on google's servers.
Any chance we could add a "scary" modifier?
