A Radeon 7500 is ancient. If they lowered the graphics enough to be playable on such a card, they would lose sales to the mainstream market because it'd be too ugly. Seriously, pick yourself up an 8500 or 9200, at least. They're cheap these days, and well worth the cost.
No, you don't. You have to find the factors of a prime number of that length. That leaves significantly less than 2^15630 possibilities, especially if you're using a decent factoring algorithm.
There are many algorithms for factoring large numbers without brute-forcing every conceivable possibility. Obviously, there are none fast enough to damage RSA's security (at least, none that are publicly known).
The dialog that you're seeing is probably the Ximian dialog, which is a patched version of the dialog in vanilla GTK 2.2. It's basically just the same old dialog from 1998, except slightly prettier and with shortcut buttons. It's included in the Ximian Desktop (obviously), but some distros (Debian, for example) have applied the patch to their own GTK packages.
The new dialog has a much cleaner and more extensible API, does support most of the same features as the Ximian dialog (along with a few extras, like sorting) and will presumably get all the pretty stuff before it's actually released (they've only been working on the GUI for a very short time, most of the design work has gone into the API).
Plus it has less features than a normal file dialog.
I don't see how you'd know that, since I doubt you've used it. Even if it was true, why would that necessarily be a bad thing? Do you need a full-blown instance of Windows Explorer in your file dialog?
The is no "extra bells and whistles" gnome file selector. Gnome apps use the same widgets as regular GTK apps (this used to not be entirely the case, but it is now).
There'd be no point to that. MS doesn't care if you're using a real PC or a virtual PC, so long as you've paid up for their software. They make just as much profit from a Mac with VirtualPC as from a Windows-running PC.
I believe the design is loosely based on the Panther fileselector. The Firebird fileselector is nice, but it's ruined by the lack of tab-completion. That's what makes the current GTK selector so nice, and hopefully they'll keep it for the new one.
Debian's had a decent installer for years (through PGI or Knoppix). They're not the official installers (and Anaconda won't be either), but the option has always been there.
Debian didn't use the Progeny installer because it only supported one of Debian's twelve architectures. Anaconda also falls short here, so it'll never be the official installer.

Not "could". Is.
Some WinFS functionality is being worked on in the Reiser4 file system and in GNOME Storage.
Better comparison: Throw a 1.5GB file at Word. Throw a 1.5GB file at Openoffice.
The Phoenix/Firebird project started as a Mozilla fork.

That's why Google was invented.
Doom3 uses OpenGL, as do the rest of Carmack's games.
Plugger is so 1997. Use mplayerplug-in for multimedia and open other documents in their regular apps.
Yet.

Not everyone reads cookbooks for the pictures.
It's not like VMWare suddenly doesn't exist or anything.
Yes.
Yes.
Mac on Linux can do that, and it's free.

Which part of "initial (not finalized)" don't you understand? The design work on this just started less than a month ago. Give them a chance.

The debian-installer project (Debian's next-gen installer) is integrating the same discover program that Knoppix uses.
