Surveillance Issues
So is Bush a mastermind puppeteer controlling the US populace ... or a moron that can't eat a pretzel? Curiouser and curiouser! Maybe the FBI are really running the govenment, for the Illuminati and the Masons ...

Pluto demoted
Yeah, but calling a (presumably) cute puppy Pluto is either ironic or invokes the original Roman latin cognate of the Greek word "Ploutos" (wealth), and was considered by the Romans as the giver of gold, silver, and other subterranean substances (and only later conflated with the Greek god of the spiritual underworld (Hades), and then the Christian Satan). So Neptune would be fine, except the dog would probably need to eat a lot more, to get bigger. Also, Mickey should really get another dog called Charon, and the two puppies be inseperable ... unless Pluto had a sibling that we haven't been told about yet ... ZOMG! Story! ©!

Is dual-screen more demanding on the GFX?
My laptop can run at a higher resolution than the built-in screen (IBM seems to think this is a good idea, it's called "windowing, I think, as you can move the underlying window around on the smaller LCD "portal"); so (apart from the admin overhead mentioned by Baneblade, above), the GPU sets the resolution to what it is told to (up to the maximum it can manage). I can run both monitor and screen with stretched graphics on one.

Is dual-screen more demanding on the GFX?
Are you piping the same image, or spanning multiple monitors? The former is no extra GPU strain (vertex shaidng, bump mapping, etc), the latter is (bigger image to process).

I remember reading somewhere that some Americans had to change their name because of Adolf Hitler. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is a character named "Adolphus" (in Tom Jones, the first novel written by Henry Fielding, I think).- Pluto demoted
I think it's more interesting that Pluto-Charon was a "binary planet" group. It is good news, because instead of it being a "well, we called it a planet, so keep it", being a planet is according to rules.- Walsh joins the 21st Century
