Hmm, I see what you mean. I did a Google search for Bejeweled and got this when I went to the site: "Important Note: Your browser has not been detected as Internet Explorer.

Well, dark matter is similar to claiming that you have an invisible red dragon in your basement and that this invisible red dragon is the master of the universe. If it cannot be proven to exist, then it is on the same level as religion and intelligent design and incompatible with science. Pure conjecture, fantasy, nonsense, bull...
Win2k secure??? It has the same bugs. How can you say it was more secure? WinNT, Win2k, WinXP, WinVista are just text version numbers for the same OS. They are not much different.
Not destroy the mail, that is an offence, just take their sweet time to deliver the mail, caused by a special federal mail delivery upgrade project.
Alternatively the IRS office building can find itself in the middle of an interminable road and services upgrade project, causing intermittent power, water and sewerage services, muddy trenches, where the roads used to be and no parking for miles around, accompanied by lots of blasting of big rocks and use of air hammers.
Finally, the state can insist that all money transferred in and out of the state needs to be audited and recounted to control money laundering. Federal money of course needs special attention, manual counting and physical review of all paper trails.
Delaying the flow of federal information and monies is equivalent to turning the tap off and much harder to argue against - "we are just being thorough" - "working by the book" - "taking proper care of federal assets" - "loss control"...
If the states are bullied by the Feds, it is simply because they allow themselves to be bullied.
To prevent that, some Canadian states have opted out of Federal tax collection. So if the Federation wishes to bully Alberta by closing the spigot, Alberta can close the much larger sluice gate going the other way and bancrupt the Federal government. AFAIK Alberta once did a go slow on transfering money to the Feds and they changed their tune pretty damn quick. It has also happened a few times that Alberta/Saskatchewan announced that they will not enforce some hair brained Federal law, basically giving the Federation a polite up-yours. I can't see any reason why the US states can't do the same.
Well, pilots somehow manage to fly at mach 3 and land on aircraft carriers in a storm, using a joystick. Therefore, it would be possible to control a car using a joystick, given enough practise, but a pilot is *not* your average joe...
Of course. As cars get better, cruising speeds go up and car prices go up.
I read something years ago, that washing machines did not reduce the amount of time people spend doing their laundry - it did make them live cleaner though...
Yeah well, there are lots of things in a car that can fail and lead to a crash. The addition of some electronics doesn't make a car fundamentally different.
Hmmm - So friction in the revolving gas could will cause it to heat up and possibly glow, while slowing down its rotation, causing it to cross the event horizon and fall in?
Actually, I don't understand it at all. Why would the matter spiral in. Why won't it stay in orbit? What is slowing the matter down to make the orbit decay?
"We need Commander Data algorithms that actually answer our fucking questions."
No, because that would actually be helpful and will put countless numbers of helldesk single moms out of work. Think of the children.

Have you ever been on the wrong side of the tracks in a US city?

Darn - gotta call Dell now. What is the number?
You don't know the power of the dark side...

Those are very minor. Most users don't need either Flash or Java.

Edlin - Oh, the horror...
This rotten excuse for a punch card line editor is still part of WinXP and will probably be in Vista too!

GM built a joystick controlled automatic Cadillac about 40 years ago. They found it awkward to drive and scrapped the project.
Hmm, see Duke Nukem for better solutions.
in the power station. Hey, perpetual motion, sustained by some solar photosynthesis to make up for the inefficiencies.
Hmmm - So friction in the revolving gas could will cause it to heat up and possibly glow, while slowing down its rotation, causing it to cross the event horizon and fall in?
Makes me think of this little ditty about high falutin English:
"Father, I have spilt some butter. What shall I do?"
"Rub it briskly with a woollen cloth my son. For friction generates heat which quickly volatizes the sterine matter."
Actually, I don't understand it at all. Why would the matter spiral in. Why won't it stay in orbit? What is slowing the matter down to make the orbit decay?
Bah, humbug! That is what happens when the Intelligent Designer doesn't tension the wheel spokes properly...
What is a Sun? Some newfangled PDP11?
is the one thing they didn't mention and which I think would be the most fun. Especially if it is somebody else's ipod...
