I turned my old Epson dot matrix printer into a scanner by mounting a CDS cell on the print head and wiring it to my Atari 1200XL paddle port and using BASIC to run the print head across the paper and take a reading. It was like 30dpi resolution, but I got some great scans of the cover of Rush' "Permanent Waves". I had no friends.
I use Fireworks almost exclusively for web design. Fireworks was built from the ground up as a web design tool. It is to web design what Autocad is to architects. It's vector-based features and nesting symbols make it perfect for designing an entire site's GUI.
When I first started in web design (I began my career in architecture), I was completely baffled how anyone could design anything in Photoshop. Photoshop is a photo-editing tool. That's what it is good at.
This was back in the days of Photoshop 5.5... if I wanted to draw a nav bar, I had to make a rectangular selection on an empty layer, and use the bucket tool to fill it with the color of my choice. If I wanted to make that wider later, I would have to do a lot of redrawing. Whereas in Fireworks, it's just a matter of dragging across the corners and pulling some anchors. If I had elements that repeat in a lot of places, I could use symbols... and if they need to change, all I need to do is change it in once place.
To me, Photoshop is still a photo-editing tool. Sure, they've grafted on a lot of extras to try to appeal to the web designer, but they are poorly integrated, and feel clunky. Also, Fireworks doesn't take 5 years to load like Photoshop CS.
Remember, it's colder in Canada, so the blocks contract. That way they stay together better. Also, Canadian children often spit on them to freeze the joints together.
Carbonation of seawater is already occurring, and it is reported to be causing the destruction of coral reefs and shells, as it dissolves calcium carbonate:
Just show it a picture of Uma Thurman. That'll raise anything. What do you think Yoda was thinking about when he pulled Luke's X-wing out of the swamp?

Jones, do you realize what this wok is? It's a transmitter! It's a radio for speaking to God! And it's within my reach!
I'd digg that up for being funny if I could.
They're still going to be Earth-focused. Google will work with NASA to create the next SETI project. The Search Engine for Terrestrial Intelligence.

No, that was Uranus.

It puts the loction on its skin or else it gets the hose again...

Only trouble with scrum... it attracts sharks with friggin' lasers on their heads.

Yeah, but it only comes with a 1 year warranty

Yes, but it's in perpetual beta.
An admirable joke...

It's actually called Columbo, and it featuers the voice of Peter Falk saying, "Excuse me sir, but you got mail!".
