The first chicken egg had to have been laid by an almost-chicken. The whole chicken/egg cliche seems to completely ignore evolution, and until eggs can be created out of thin air, a chicken always has to come first.
This doesn't work as a true analogy, as with a car you cannot give the user a default then let them set their own preferences. With a computer you can. Each user can work with a completely different user interface.
Are you running KDE? If so that might be why it loads faster for you. If you use a different Window Manager/Desktop Environment it takes a lot longer to load.
I've tried to like Konqueror, but find it crashes too often for me. Normally within a few minutes of opening. I'll try it again though once KDE3 is stable.
I can't remember the last time Mozilla crashed, and I tend to keep it open for a long time with lots of tabs open. So if it did I'd be slightly annoyed...

No, because the version you worked on was GPL'd. Future versions of their program can be under whatever license they like, provided they own the copyright for all the code, but you are free to fork the GPL version and compete with their relicensed version. This is similar to what occured with TuxRacer recently.
That's completely untrue and the very reason the original codebase (Mozilla Classic a.k.a Netscape 5) was thrown out. Mozilla has been written from the ground up specifically to support standards. And why doing things like adding support for the CSS2 selectors has worked so well.
All turbo mode does is to allow it to preload in the same way that IE does. The difference being that you can switch it off, or unload it, something you ca't do with IE.
I'd begun to start thinking that as well, but I recently switched to using apt to update my version of Mandrake and it is now a lot easier. After a little pain initially (due to a few duplicate packages in my rpm databae) which I had to fix using:
apt-get -f upgrade
and:
apt-get -f dist-upgrade
It's now working fine and I'm very happy with it. I can still use RPM if I want to, but for the most part apt-get is far easier.
Just download the apt rpm and give it a go. It's easy to swap back to just using rpm if you don't like it. The initial pain to get a clean rpm database it is well worth the effort.
I'm on a slow connection so don't download everything, just the individual packages I want to upgrade (because of bugfixes or whatever). If it works okay I just leave it.
There is little difference between your #1 and #2 examples as you're setting up a straw man. The actual examples should really be:
#1 I kill you because I don't like you
#2 I kill you because your black and I don't like blacks
In that case there most certainly is a big difference, and if you can't see it then that's more than a little disturbing, even though the end result (a killing) is the same. Hate crime, as practised by Hitler et. al, is impersonal. It's about treating a whole class of people as subhuman, or insuperior, then killing or attacking them merely because they fit within that group they're created.
Hate speech is all about defining these groups as subhuman (or as lesser beings) to justify almost any atrocity against them as they just aren't like us. It's very much like slander or libel aimed against a whole group of people, with the express aim of supporting people's violent treatment of that group.
If you compare the hate literature that these groups are putting out with the propaganda the Nazis put out, you'll see it is almost indistinguishable. The only difference being the Nazis completely controlled the distribution of information.
Why are all these people designing Web sites with MS software? They've only got a handful of HTML apps... why are so many sites made with so few tools?
Perhaps because they're pretty good?
Pretty good? You must be kidding. Frontpage 2000 is a damn right awful product, even by Microsoft standards. It's a complete mess. Not only is the HTML it produces completely substandard but almost all it's advanced features are severely broken (i.e. templates/themes etc).
Okay for "meet my new cat" websites, but just about useless for anything beyond that.
Actually, in the UK we have the Data Protection Act which was just strengthened recently. Anyone who collects you information has to state what they are going to do with it, and you have to be given the option to opt out (i.e. web forms come with - we will share you information with partners with you can uncheck to opt out of). You also have the right to demand access to information that companies hold about you. Anyone who flouts the law is liable to a heavy fine. See here for a recent article.
You have many more rights as far as your personal information goes than you do in the states. Something that has caused some problems with trade between Europe and the US, as you don't have sufficient privacy protection in place, e.g. selling your name and addresses to marketeers is illegal without your permission.
Did you not notice the bit about it being developed by an outside organisation? It is merely being included into the Mozilla CVS tree so others can work on it. It's not taking people away from working on the browser, so I'm not sure why people have such a problem with it.
You're wrong:-) You don't need a Windows partition on your machine. You just let wine create a fake c drive for you and install the games there. I deleted my Windows partition a few months back to recover some space, but can still quite happily run some Windows apps natively under Linux and installed on one of my ext2 partitions. Well, when I say apps I mean one or two games, like Panzer General 2 and Baldur's Gate (though that one seems broken at the moment). Oh, and my Masterpieces of Infocom CD.
Sure, just make up a stylesheet that causes your presentation to be printable, call it "printable.css" and then switch that one occurence of the string "presentable.css" to "printable.css" in your presentation when you want to print it.

Say I have a table that's 100% high, and inside of that, an image that's 80 pixels high and another table that's 100% high.
Where in the HTML standard does it say you can have a table that is 100% high? Answer: it doesn't.
You'll need to pick a problem that is standards complient.
If WinZip gets annoying then give PowerArchiver a try.
It's a free (beer) clone and I've sucessfully used as a replacement on Windows for a long time. There are no annoying nag screens at all.

Works fine for me

Netscape 6 wasn't really ready for a final release until Netscape 6.2, which is *very* stable.
Then why not use the "reboot" command?

You need to su to root, your system is set up so it only allows root to execute system binaries.
Just use the advanced search and narrow the search window to select more recent dates.

Of course it can, that's what xlock is for. The only way to mess with programs on that display is to log in using the correct password.
Yes, with a c drive sitting in your home directory, a typical session will be something like:
/mnt/cdrom/
/mnt/cdrom
mount
cd
wine --winver win98 setup.exe
cd ~/c/panzer
wine --winver win95 panzer.exe
And off you go...

Wouldn't:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="presentable.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="printable.css">
Be a lot easier. When it's viewed on screen you get one stylesheet, when it's printed it uses the other.
Look in Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Images and you can say exactly how you'd like animated gifs to act (i.e. cycle once/never).
I sure there's a way to stop animation from the UI, pressing the stop button may do it. I can't remember off hand as I've got mine set to never...

And here's another one for you, which displays some unfortunate IE6 quirks. Again, the page works fine in Netscape 6/Mozilla.
If IE6 is so much more standards complient than Mozilla then why can't it handle this standards complient page properly?
