A good Zerg player will rush before you have the chance to build cannons or zealots. Now, there aren't very many really good Zerg players, and it gets very difficult on larger maps. But a really fast Zerg rush is pretty unbeatable, unless you can do a faster one.
Video under X11 is immensely different from video under Quartz/OSX. The majority of Quicktime would have to be rewritten, just to support a tiny fraction of the desktop market. Quicktime for Linux would also remove one benefit of switching to OS X, which many Linux users are considering.
The most recent pop CD I've seen (The Eminem Show) had 20 tracks, of which 16 were actual music. It sold for $12.00 at Best Buy. That comes to $0.75 per song.
Mozilla does do AA, you just need to enable it - it's a hidden pref (turned on automatically by the Debian packages, dunno about the official ones). Add this to/etc/mozilla/prefs.js (or possibly your own prefs.js file, but that may or may not work):
// AA with Bitmap scaling. pref("font.scale.aa_bitmap.enable", true); //pref("font.scale.aa_bitmap.always", true); pref("font.scale.aa_bitmap.min", 16);
This will enable AA for all fonts greater than 16pt. You can also enable AA for all sizes by changing the appropriate numbers. This is even easier with a GTK2 build of Mozilla.
Slash's HTML is completely customizable. Assumming you can get a good XHTML+CSS layout, it shouldn't be hard to integrate it into/.
A sorta-relevant example - Scoop, a Slashlike blogging tool which normally uses tables, can be used to make very nice CSS pages. The same thing could be done to Slash, except it would probably break NS4 compatibility.
There is no floating point math necessary for Vorbis. The standard library uses it, but it's perfectly possible to write a fixed-point implementaion. In fact, Xiph does have a fixed-point version, which they are planning to license to player manufacturers.
However, if you (or a player company) wanted to write your own free fixed-point Ogg player, there's nothing to stop you.
For me, the deciding factor would be that Sirius has NPR, XM doesn't. Sure, there's always local NPR stations, but that defeats the point of satellite.
You could easily run Final Cut Pro on an iMac, or even an eMac. I've run it on a 450Mhz G4, it should work fine on anything faster - such as a used Power Mac, or possibly even a G3 iMac with a memory upgrade. That means the entire computer+software budget is a one-time-only $2000-$3000.
Besides, Final Cut Pro is definately worth the money if you're doing anything serious. Or, if you don't want to buy a Mac, you could use Adobe Premiere or another such program. As promising as Cinelera might be, I seriously doubt it will ready for production use anytime soon.
Independent film makers are not going to be using the beta version of an incomplete Linux video tool. If they can afford to pay for a computer, digital cameras, and a cast, I think it's safe to say most of them can afford something much nicer, like Final Cut Pro.
I am running ssh, and it's on port 22. I don't even have a/dev/tcp directory. I'd think this was a devfs thing or something (I don't use it, maybe you do), except it is plainly stated in the bash man page. Weird.

This patch, by the way, will be included in the 2.6 kernels.
But you need two sets of numbers?

It's trivial to do the same thing with a TI calculator.

MS does make an MP3 player. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Solaris.

Since when is iPod an app?
Who the hell would need tech support for an iPod?
In other words, use Scoop.

It's probably something more like D. Jupedal.
Does it matter? apt doesn't check signatures.
If only...

I think I know why.
