Suppose you by a DVD drive for $40. You still need DVD windows software, which costs another $40. On the other hand a full DVD player goes for $40 at WalMart. Thus you will be happy to pay $5 for a pirated copy of DVD software to have a sense of fairness.
I can't post in Urdu unicode to Yahoo-Groups from my Linux box. I know some people are able to do that from some platforms. No such problem at Google Groups.
On another note, now that I am used to AdBlock on FireFox, I hardly recall the Yahoo vulgar ads.
Some of the games on Linux really need too much resources. On my 2.4GHZ Celeron with Intel extreme graphics, FlightGear runs really slow. I have DRI enabled, and tuxracer runs well. I recall MS FlighSimulator ran really fast on old DOS 386's. Where does the problem lie with these modern games? Can't blame everything on openGl implementation of graphics card vendors.
The older vesion 2.0.6 could not handle Urdu (Nafees web) fonts. Abi could display individual characters, but could not join them. I have not checked this version. The KDE apps do handle these fonts well, whereas Gnome apps fail (firefox even with pango enabled). Interestingly, Gaim does a much better job, but has a problem with a few characters. For Urdu, KDE is the way to go.
I run collegeLinux (another slackware based distro) on PII 233MHz. Runs reasonably well. Firefox/thunderbird are apparently not as optimized as on win98.
Basically all news comes from The Reuters. You can read on their website. News outlets add value to this by adding bias catering to the readership and their own paymasters.
Konqueror (with QT3.3.3) can render some open type fonts on my linux box, whereas Firefox/Mozilla draw only blanks. The fonts are in question are from:

Is Lycos an ISP or a portal like Yahoo! In the later case, how does it know the identity of anyone?

If you are on Linux, try upgrading the graphics libs, libtiff etc.
No pango-enabled version for Linux seems to be available which is a serious drawback for non-Latin scripts.
You may trust Google, but remember that any American company can be ordered to share information with the Feds without informing the public.
Is there a Pango-enabled Firefox (Linux) version available for download anywhere?
Maybe Google is "concerned" that its image search has become a gateway to smut.
I can listen to WMA stream in KPlayer from radio Pakistan

on a PII 233MHZ which is also running a win/lin modem.

FireFox 1.0PR for Linux is a bit unstable compared to earlier versions. Maybe most of the effort is going to the windows version.

Why is phone-gaim not integrated with the Gaim? Is the phonegaim only for Linspire?

QT 3.3.3 enabled some open type Urdu fonts that did not work under KDE before, namely fonts from
