Maybe you would pay more for TV and cable but I think you'd also pay less for the products that are currently advertised. If companies put their advertising budgets into lowering prices I suspect many products would be a lot cheaper. I believe that something like 15% of the price of a textbook is advertising expenses, and I've heard its also quite high for new drugs. As an example of a company that did choose to not advertise take Amazon.com. They chose instead to offer free shipping with the money that they had considered putting into advertising. I know I prefer it that way.
If you have the 32 bit emulation libraries installed you can compile a 32 bit version of mplayer that can use the win32 codecs. Just put them in different directories and you can have both installed.
It's there. Based on the scale of that graph the dip would include both World War 1 and 2. I wouldn't be surprised if that is accurate. The huge number killed outright plus the large scale starvation brought on by the wars might well have done that.
This is just my experience but I managed to get System Shock, an old dos based game running under DOSEmu. It's not an educational game but I don't see what they'd use that System Shock doesn't.
VGA and SVGA graphics and the mouse just worked and sound effects worked fine after a little tweaking. It also made use of extended memory so I know that works. The only problem I had was with MIDI sound. I could get it working with a lot of effort but it still sounded horrible. From what I understand many dos based games did things with MIDI that linux simply does not provide an interface for.
Sounds like what you want is Peercast. You can't split up files the way bittorrent does for broadcasting, so what it does is allow each client to also broadcast. I haven't used it much as I'm on a metered internet connection but it seems to work as long as it doesn't matter to you that some clients will get their data later than others.
I don't have wine working at the moment but I had WinMX working in Wine about a month ago. It was fairly stable and I could leave it up for a couple of days before it crashed. I suspect that is just as good as what I'd get running it under windows.
I haven't had any problems on Mandrake. I started out with version 8.0 and I've upgraded through all the versions up to 9.0 which I'm currently using, with some packages from cooker.
BATTLE.NET is probably way cheeper to run than any MMORPG server. For an MMORPG every client has to communicate with the server where all the game information is actually stored. For BATTLE.NET the only communication that is needed is for the server to tell the clients to connect to each other.
Its a reason why end users should choose a good distribution. While mandrake doesn't provided patches, it does path the source code and recompile programs and make the fixed version available to download, every time a security flaw is found. You can even set it up to download and install any security fixes automatically. I presume most distributions do this.
I don't see a single result that isn't from the scientolists themselves until page 4, and xenu.net, the one that the scientologists forced google to remove doesn't even show up till page 5. While they may not have given in to the scientologists, their ranking scheme seems less than perfect to me.

I've never looked at the Voyager ideograms but the astronomy club at my school did an experiment to see how easy it was to understand what NASA had been sending out. We examined some of the signals that were send out to star systems where they hoped aliens would pick them. We never looked at any information about what they were, we just figured out from looking at them what the message was.
It took about an hour to figure out what the number system was as it had been especially designed to handle data corruption. Once we got that we figured out we were able to work out the units they were using for distance(I think it was multiples of wave length of the first spectral line of hydrogen) and from there all the other details with the help of an encyclopedia for the science facts needed.
Obviously it was easier for us as humans to figure it out, but I'm sure that if high school students can figure it out in a few hours and aliens capable of receiving it would have scientists who could figure it fairly quickly.
You are probably just a troll but anyway...
We still have access to copies of the New Testament in the original languages. Many churches still expect their pastors to be able to read Greek and Latin, which the New Testament was written in. Historical records also show that the copies are accurate most of the time.
My bible has notes next to every section where different copies disagree, and there aren't all that many of them.

hopefully konqueror will support https by now so I can bank online too.
Konqueror already supported HTTPS in 2.0. However if you are compiling it yourself you need have openssl installed before you run configure. More info here

I found this site a little while ago. I don't run 2.5 myself but I have used the patch that fixes the OOPS from version 3123 of the NVIDIA drivers.

Sure, but they can get the government to create a tax on blank CDs to cover "losses due to piracy".
Do a search on scientology and see what you find.

It would be a problem if QT used exceptions. I'm not sure why it was written that way, maybe performance reasons, but it doesn't use them a all.
