1. The negative effects of having multiple distros
That is frequently discussed. It is generally believed that there are both good effects and bad effects to having 7000 distros.
2. The GIMP's interface
I've never used The GIMP, but I've heard nothing but good things. So, maybe you're right. Or maybe it's just good.
3. 3rd-Party games (though these days, there ARE a fair amount of good FOSS games)
New here? Lack of games on Linux is an unfortunate reality, and is often discussed on slashdot.
4. BSD good, Gentoo for ricers
I've heard good things about BSD. I've heard bad things about BSD. I've never tried it. I've heard good things about Gentoo. I've heard bad things about Gentoo. Ever heard the phrase "mythical 1%"? I've used Gentoo, but updating was murder for a dialup user (I'm not one of those anymore). I haven't gone back, because Debian fits my style well.
Distro wars are common. My distro can kick your distro's ass because...
For the last time (yeah right), jets are not affected by local time. They use UTC. The F-22 probably had a problem with jumping onto the other side of the planet in a split second where the screen folds.
I agree that it is not the best saying, and can work both ways.
You can spring forward, like in jumping forward. When you push down on a spring, it automatically springs back.
You can fall backward. I've done that. You can also fall forward. I do that way more often.
Think of beating someone up. You spring forward towards them. You're a nerd, so when they punch you, you fall down backwards. The other guy is big and dumb, so he's not going to use tactics to use your spring against you. But you're a puny nerd so he doesn't have to.
Hope that either clarifies things or confuses you more.
They include the source code, and say that it "should" compile in linux. However, it uses many Windows-specific variable types. This code will not be cross compatible without a major overhaul.
This program is not ethereal on steroids. It's more like ethereal and kismet got drunk, had sex, and had a retarded baby, which they named ferret.

I liked that movie.
First!
No. The ultimate appeal would be another French Revolution.
As for the rest of what you said, probably informative. IANAL. IANAF.
