With this little card reader, and download game ROMS on the web, you can play most GBA games without actually buying the games. This must hurt Nintendo quite a bit.
On Windows 9x, IE runs in the same process as explorer.exe. So when IE crashes, Windows Explorer (the "main UI element") crashes as well.
On Windows 2000/XP, IE runs in a seperate process. When it crashes, it does not affect Windows Explorer. In fact it behaves the same way as Firefox crashes.
When running on Windows 2000/XP, an IE crash does not "kill part of the user environment". IE runs as the same process as Explorer.exe in Windows 9x only.
I have played the Windows version, Palm OS version, and Pocket PC version. And I am pretty good at this game, however I have never experienced the problem you mentioned. The timer actually stops during a sound effect or animation.
When was the last time you played? The last time I played (Windows, Palm OS, and Pocket PC versions) There are two modes in this game. The "Easy" mode doesn't have a timer and lets you play until you can't make any more move. The "Timed" mode has a count down timer which you have to keep clearing in order to increase the time.
Is it really necessary for a developing country to spend the huge amount of money into the space program? And is it the right time to do it? Poverty is still a problem, and many children don't have the chance to go to school. Shouldn't the money be spent on improving education and helping the poor first?
The money could also be spent on developing better infrastructures such as transportation, power and water supply. There are places with frequent power outage, and there are places without tap water. There are heavy pollution problems in major cities as well.
The researches from the space program could be beneficial, however there are many other types of researches with more direct impacts. How about research for agricultural advances, to feed more hungry people? How about research for prevention and care for SARS? We might be able to find the answers in space, but with the same amount of money and effort, I believe we can make better progress researching on Earth now.
With recent advances in computers and robotics, we don't have to send people into space. We can remotely control robots to do the dirty and risky tasks. Except for specific research of biological effect on the human body, there is no benefit of putting a real person into the spacecraft. It is much cheaper and more effective to have unmanned space mission, I suspect manned missions are just for the sake of national pride.
The world can be a better place if we leave nationalism behind, and think collectively in terms on the whole mankind.

Which Linux distro do you use? If you install Firefox in a binary format (RPM/DEB) thru APT/URPMI, you'll probably get a version of Firefox with good font support.
I am quite interested in how the Mozilla team decide what goes into the browser, and what should be left as an extension. Many built-in features of Firefox can actually made made as an extension instead, which could make the browser more lightweight and start up faster. Yes it would require the user to download more extensions, and I think it could be solved by providing extension packs with several useful extensions put into one easy-to-install package.
For your information, the font smoothing in Windows 9x is not system-wide. It is used in some document windows, but not on UI widgets. The font smoothing in Windows XP (ClearType) uses sub-pixel rendering and applies to all UI widgets. It makes a huge difference.
Please tell us which version of Windows you are talking about. In Windows XP you can optionally enable ClearType if you have a LCD monitor, which will make the fonts look much better.
W2K3 is faster than W2K in most tasks. It somehow use memory more efficiently, and it does not enable unnecessary services by default. Microsoft claims IIS in W2K3 is re-written to be more secure and faster.

Just install Ubuntu on iMac/eMac then.
Piracy is actually quite a problem for the GBA software, take a look at this:

explorer.exe is Windows Explorer, the shell.
iexplorer.exe is Internet Explorer, the browser.
Get it?
I guess you didn't quite get it...

Your #1 is invalid.

In MS Word, you can select "Fast Save" mode from the options, and it will do incremental saves.

I always use Dynamic Drive as a repository of useful DHTML scripts, including slide-show scripts that work with multiple browsers.

You can use Knoppix as a completely harddisk-based distro. It would be much faster than when you run it on CD-ROM.

Are you sure you have enabled ClearType since Win98?? ClearType is a new feature in Windows XP and I don't think you can use it on Win98.
ClearType uses sub-pixel rendering which works much better on LCD monitors.
Please tell us which version of Windows you are talking about. In Windows XP you can optionally enable ClearType if you have a LCD monitor, which will make the fonts look much better.
I haven't tried Fastbuzz yet, but I have been using bloglines for a while and love it.

Because we need local news? Don't forget there are many countries and languages in the world.
It is exactly 5:21 PM here. The world extends beyond the East and West coasts, in case you haven't figured out yet.
