There was Windows 3.1, then Windows for Workgroups 3.11. There was never an NT 3.1. NT started at 3.5 and went to 4.0. Windows 2000 was 5.0, and XP is 5.1.
Two words: Textads. Not annoying, bandwidth-light, often useful and entertaining, quite difficult to block (even if you wanted to), and accessible to the average person (you can buy a targeted ad on Google with a few bucks and ten minutes).
Well, X uses the X11R6 protocol locally for drawing at a much lower level (pixel and polygon-based, instead of widget-based), so Fresco isn't that bad, relatively speaking.
Linux kernel updates are based on an open-source development process, so we know about all the technical details. With Windows (especially alpha leaks), the fluff is all you see, because there's no way to know what changed under the hood (I doubt MSDN has loads of articles on Longhorn).
Longhorn has nothing to do with Texas. It's named for a saloon at the base of Whistler Mountain (windows xp=whistler), near Microsoft's headquarters. The version after Longhorn will be named Blackcomb, another nearby mountain.
It has video somewhere between a GF3 and a GF4. Possibly a Radeon 8500 would be the closest match, speedwise. That might push the cost up of your computer a little. Plus, MS has to pay labor and equitment costs, which aren't an issue when you build it yourself.
IIRC, the gamecube would be extraordinarily difficult to port Linux to because it doesn't accept standard DVD's, as the xbox and ps2 do. It needs a smaller disc, which spins the opposite way.

There is no such thing as X-Windows. It's X, X11, or the X Window System.
It has USB support, and it can be patched for most FSs.
Unless you're going for a workstation-class card (Quadro or FireGL), no video card will run you more then $300 at the moment.
A 500Mhz K6-2 with 184MB of ram, at the moment, and GNOME2's pretty snappy. It really screams on my dual Athlon 2200 with a gig of RAM.
No.

There's no such setting in Netscape 7. Netscape/AOL removed it.

OSX is pretty close too.
Oh, you mean like the ones in GTK2 and QT3?

In any case, this is definately not fake. You can go get longhorn yourself.

It prevents critical system files from being deleted. If you suddenly feel the urge to delete kernel32.dll, you can always turn it off.
LOTR cost way more than $200,000. $200 million would be more like it.
telnet google.com 80 :-)
They only think they need a Windows machine.
For more involved questions, they do.
archive.org is a proxy avoidance system(warning: link not work-safe).

If you never read the file, then nothing has given you the right to copy the software.
Not one of that form factor with a GeForce4, TV out, and decent sound.
They could, if they already owned e-windows.com.
