  1. FAQ from 1996 about X by cnj · · Score: 4 · on What GUIs Came Before X11?

    http://wwwipd.ira.uka. de/~frueauf/FAQ/NetBSD-Amiga-X-FAQ.txt is a rather lengthy FAQ dealing with X (servers, clients, etc). It mentions X10 as being the first X system.

    Subject: 11) Just what is X11? This question is hard to answer. X11 is the successor of X10.
    Ah, you guessed that? :-)
    Maybe we should ask another question: What is X at all ?
    The X windowing system is a retargetable graphics systems for almost every computer platform.
    X was developed at the MIT labs, Massachuset, and many other companies: The X-consortium. X is copyrighted by them. MIT started X some years ago, X10 was the first X windows system, which had success on a wide range of computers, X11 had some significant changes in the protocoll and started with the Release Version 1 (R1). R4 and R5 are still in use, but R6 is the most recent release (1994).

  3. Re:Changing the language by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on RMS on Java and GPL

    Because some of the changes people would like to make to Java, such as Generic types, are not able to be compiled to Java compatible bytecode.
    BRGeneric Java works just fine on standard JVMs. Generic types are a language, not machine issue fool.

  4. Re:Crypto is defferent from doors, locks, and safe by Sloppy · · Score: 1 · on FBI Reports on Encryption

    Patrick Ohly's DiskProtection is an Amiga device driver that basically just mirrors another device, but with an encryption layer. It's been out for several years now. It'll mirror any disk device (though I think it has a 4 Gig limit which is kinda dated these days; he should update it or release the source :-) and you can run any filesystem on top of the device. It also uses the xpk standard to interface with an encryption library (DiskProtection doesn't actually have any crypto code in it) so you can plug in any crypto algorithm you want, if your current pet algorithm (e.g. IDEA) ever becomes outdated.
