Startup time is irrelevent. With Quick Start, they can all get 1 second startup times. The only important things are rendering speed and UI response. Mozilla's UI responds instantly on my 266Mhz PII with 64mb RAM, and I never have to wait noticably long for rendering. I haven't tried Opera on that computer, but it would be very difficult for it to be noticably faster.
Dillo doesn't use the Gecko engine. It uses its own rendering engine, which is far inferior to Gecko, in everything except speed. Galeon, Chimera, and K-Meleon, OTOH, do use Gecko, do use Gecko, and all of them are faster than Mozilla.
It interferes with flight navigation systems. On a small plane, probably manually guided, that doesn't matter. On a jet that's about to crash into a building, you have bigger things to worry about.
Apt has been completely ported several times over. Debian, however, will never switch. The rpm format doesn't include some of dependency information used by Debian, among other shortcomings. Debian does include rpm, alien, and various other tools to install rpms on a Debian system, but they'll never switch the main distro to rpm.
Intel is not a media company. A software manufacturer is not a media company. Time Warner would be a media company. And, if they offend MS, there's not a single thing MS can do about it (aside from denying them a Pallidium key, but that would kill Pallidium).
It's not like flac doesn't take gobs of space too.
It probably wouldn't be hard to write a script to reencode all your music to MP3. You could just run it at night, and have it do something like check for any new.flac files and automatically convert them to mp3's in a copy of the directory heirarchy.
Most applications edit in an uncompressed format like avi or uncompressed quicktime
Final Cut Pro and iMovie both edit Quicktime compressed with the DV compressor, and Final Cut Pro can import and edit video in any Quicktime-supported format. You have to render it to DV before you can watch it, though.

Yes it does.
Oh, and it can be confused with links.

Because it's ugly, and the same purpose can be served by italics or bold.

Who wants a GUI-based spellchecker (other than one built into a word processor)? If you really do, there's gaspell.
Excuse me?

You're free to ignore ads however you want. Advertisers, however, are free to do whatever they want to stop you from ignoring them.
Use the computer facing the wall. Set up a proxy server, and rehearse your windowskey-M skills to hide all windows.
I'm 13 and I've heard of Eliza.
Rhythmbox and xtunes (google for em) are two itunes lookalikes for Linux. Neither of them is particularly good at the moment, however. I prefer xmms.
Ummm... an Enhanced CD is not a copy-protected CD. Read and think before your post.

Well, yes, but it's on the fourth results page.
I doubt it, but most of the hard-drive players will take wav or aiff, and decoding a FLAC is faster than encoding an MP3.
Dunno about the Archos, but (IIRC) the iPod buffers data off the drive into memory, so it only reads every minute or so.
But there is iPod for Linux.
Either you've never used Final Cut Pro, you've never used Cinelerra, or you're a moron. As wonderful as it may be, it doesn't touch FCP.
