I think you can manage the IP-ranges IE thinks are part of the "intranets" and it probably defaults to 10.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/16. I recall IE popping a tab asking if I want to enable intranet behaviour after hitting my router www-config page with it at 192.168.1.1.
Companies buy a volume license version of Windows that gives you permission to make copies of the installation media for N number of machines. The fact that you might have license for Windows does not give you permission to download an image for it from the net. Local copyright law might give you that right but YMMV. Also OEM Windows serials wont work on vanilla Windows CDs. You do have (usually) the right to make couple backup copies of the installation media.
I agree, images is the best way to, but flash might be easier to get nice dynamic text content with anti-alised text with pretty fonts. Best option would be to design the page so that the font and text size wont matter at all.
Unfortunately you cannot do that even if you could embed a font, different browsers and operating systems render fonts slightly differently which will cause the text to be too wide in some cases. If you really need to create such a textbox please use images or Flash, preferrably make a design that can handle variable sized contents. I might be biased, but I need to do webdesign for Finnish and have to live with words like 'sarjakuvafestivaaleilla' which wont wrap nicely into 50pix wide columns.
For me Gleemax was just DDM forums with search feature which was missing in the old WoTC forums. Oh and with annoying login that would require you to relogin every few weeks. I didn't even know Gleemax was something else than just another bulleting board system.
Couple examples; Half-life 2, Baldur's Gate, Paint Shop Pro 7 (and no, GIMP isn't even close to being alternative), QuarkXpress/InDesign, Adobe CS3 Suite and Final Cut Studio.
Atleast on audio side we have Audacity which isn't half bad, though I prefer GoldWave and Cool Edit Pro.
I don't have an iPhone, but can't you just use Safari to browse the web and click on MP3 link to play it? If not, then the browser is very limited indeed.
Skype does allow 640x480 video on any camera that supports that resolution, you just need to force the resolution in config.xml for Skype to use it. Works great on my Mac and PC.
That depends on the certificate authority. When we got our cert from Thawte we had to give them our business ID number. They then searched for contact information based on that number from the goverment database and called us to verify that it was us applying for the cert. Ofcourse it did cost more than 14 bucks.
When I click the EXIT GAME button, it's because I want to exit the fucking game! I do not want to see a stupid fucking dialog saying "Are you sure you want to exit the game?" Because I wouldn't have clicked the fucking button unless I was sure!
Better option would be to just exit the game IF the game status hasn't changed since last save, otherwise as if you want to save the game before quitting.
Don't make your game in OpenGL: ATI cards suck for GL!
Perhaps ATI should just fix their drivers.
Make it possible to disable an Antivirus scanner, or simply prevent scans from taking place when your game is running. How hard can it be???
This probably cannot be done as if a game can disable antivirus then viruses could do that too.
If the demo takes atleast one day to play through I would be happy and most likely (if I finished the demo, thus liked the game) buy it, if the price was right. 59EUR for a game is too high for me in most cases, which is why I wait until the price drops or get a used copy.
Unfortunately the current trend is to make games shorter and shorter. I don't remember how long it took me to finish the original Half-Life, but HL2 took me two nights, HL2:EP1 took 8 hours, HL2:EP2 6 hours and Portal 4 hours. Fortunately the Orange Box that contained all these games had an pricing error and I got it for the price of single game.
Some games still do have plenty of content, like Sacred; 16 hours in the game and I'm about third way trough.
But you only need to image of the 1st CD/DVD to play as CD-checks usually just test for the "play" CD. Fortunately you can sometimes find tweaked ISO images that are tiny, containing only files/sectors the copyprotection checks for. I still prefer no-cd patches.

Heavily accented english should suffice?

Does IE6 support this SVG font thingy? How about Opera? I am really interested since I haven't been able to embed fonts since Netscape 4.x era.

I propose that FishWithAHammer pays it all.

Sure, I agree. But I am not the average Internet user so I can check if a SSL cert has been signed by a trusthworty CA or not.
Perhaps we need browsers to display five star rating icon next to the padlock to indicate how trustworthy the CA is.
Safari and Opera 9.5 do not accept their cert but Firefox 2 does. So they are useful CA only as a way to get past that nagging FF3 dialog.

He just wanted to take it, said nothing about drinking it.
I use a 5 1/4 floppy drive, simple as that.

Yup, good thing passenger airplanes don't need fuel to fly.
I don't believe you!
Besides, last time I checked, there's no such thing as a removable magnetic media which can store 4.7GB of data, or worse the 36GB that BD-R stores.
Your forgot tapes, eg. LTO-4 has native capacity 800GB. Drives are just tad expensive.
Yup, it is metalloid.
The wiki article you linked to indicates that using gallium with aluminum is an exception to this metal embrittlement thingy.
