Looking at emachines.com it looks like their current machines use the Nvidia 6100 chipset. Because Nvidia is still comitted to making things as hard as possible for Linux users you should look to another manufacturer. Systems built around Intel or Via chipsets should work fine.
Mozilla.com was set up as the end-user site when the Mozilla Corporation, the company set up to promote Mozilla technologies, was created. Mozilla.org was left for the non-profit foundation set up to develop the Mozilla applications. Even if I believed that TLDs had any meaning, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
Roadside bombs and suicide bombers are not a threat to the United States and it's allies. Ballistic missiles are. While it's nice that Bush has staged a nice big live-fire exercise for the Army, the Pentagon has to focus on real threats.
Because of the huge changes going on in the Gecko rendering engine the Gecko team needs more time to work on it. 3.0 with the new Cairo-based Gecko 1.9 is scheduled for Q1 2007. See the Mozilla Wiki for more information.
If the roadmap holds up (and it usually slips a few weeks/months), Firefox 2.0 will be released in September or so, 10 months after Firefox 1.5, I don't see how that's too quick.

All documents produced by the US government is public domain. Much of Google Maps and other mapping services are based on public domain NASA and US Geological Survey data. The high-res pictures of the more interesting bits of the US are partly made from commercial aerial photography, though. NASA's World Wind application is all government data.
Unfortunately most of the world's governments are not so enlightened.
If the Siberian wasteland was covered with plants and water for thousands of years, doesn't that imply that during that time the wasteland was not frozen?
Siberia has been covered with plants and water every summer since the end of the ice age. Permafrost means that the soil only thaws a couple of feet down, but that's enough for plants to grow.
Have about enabling the back button. Intuitive navigation is one of the greatest usability wins of the web compared to most information systems. I can't imagine any reason to disable the navigation buttons, but the most likely reason seems to be that your IT department is staffed with idiots who've never actually used a web browser.
While you should probably focus on Managed C++, since there are significant time savings in developing with the less byzantine.NET API (actually I suggest using C# if you can, since the advantages of C++ are largely nullified in managed code), there's an enormous amount of Win32 code out there. Unless you start working at a start up building a brand new codebase you'll probably be asked to maintain or integrate with Win32 code, so you need to learn enough to get around eventually.
You might want to check out the pages on the Firefox 1.1 update system on the Mozilla wiki. It looks cool, but it remains to be seen if it actually works by release time.
Since Philips is a reputable manufacturer, your region-free player is probably using hacked firmware. Most region hacks also disable Macrovision and User Operation Prohibition (which stops you from bypassing ads and copyright warnings).
Whatever measure might be selected to replace the standard weight, it will certainly be chosen to be as close to the mass of the current kg as humanly possible.
I don't get it. This sounds exactly like what Bittorrent is designed for. It's easy to set up and use, fairly efficent* and a lot of people have a client installed. Copyright holders are obviously not going to sue you if you are the copyright holder. Since Bittorrent is centralized you don't have to worry about what other people are doing with it.
Why can't you use it?
* Even if the server is the only seed, it's not much more than HTTP, and you can spread the load out over your and your friend's home connections.

He was comparing the Core Duo to the ULV Pentium M in the Vaio. The Core Duo is still cooler than any Pentium 4 processor.

WGF 2.0 wont ship with Vista. The graphics system in Vista is WGF 1.0/DirectX 9.L which is DirectX 9.0c with the new Vista driver model.
It will not. 2.0 is about non-rendering features.

Not on the Internet, there isn't.
I don't see what this has to do with Visual C# Express. There is no time limit for it.
I hear the 6800 GS is the best value for money right now. (Just as as fast as the plain 6800, but cheaper.)
Personally I just bought a 6600GT because 150 euros is all I can afford, and my Radeon 9100 isn't cutting it any more.

You never heard of firewalls? A firewall is much easier to configure than a NAT network.

If you're going to pick apart people's grammar, you could at least learn to spell "ridiculous". Damn it.
