Next Generation X11
Rene Rebe writes "The German News site Golem is running a report (babelfish translation) about the next generation X11 projects, like the OpenGL X-Server Xgl, Luminocity as well as Enlightenment 17. The report is including many screenshots and five videos."
I enjoyed reading the machine translation from german. Makes you think about about how language works and it's down right funny. My favorite line (from a comment): "With open SOURCE is too much abgekupfert." Don't know what it means, but I find my self agreeing...
The world is made by those who show up for the job.
You are probably referring to the perennial "Why Windows?" campaign.

This is illegal where I live. Here, we have to give money to a store in order to get something from them. Sigh.
But we dont talk about them
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
surely you can see the immediate need and usefulness of transparent windows and wobbly windows. Not to mention that the present versions of X11 are only using from 50 to 100 megabytes of memory when modern systems have 512 to 1 gig available. I think once we get the bugs worked out of these new features, then we can look into more advanced stuff like "hot-plug monitors" and dynamic resolutions.
How long will they continue on this "11" series. Isn't it about time to upgrade to X12
Hey look no pointless curley braces or semicolons... just like Python
It doens't matter if XP has the features or not...you're forgetting that the current version of Windows is Longhorn.
The correct answer is that 'Longhorn's tight integration with hardware thanks to Microsoft's close engineering work with card makers that provides a level of performance unachievable by any other vendor.'
Because, you know, even though Longhorn is over a year away we still talk about it in the present tense.
At least if you're within Redmond's Reality Distortion Field, which is growing to be as big if not larger than Jobs'...
You mean that babelfish translates?!
Man, all this time i was thinking it was only generating random words in given language. All of it were lies. LIES!
A computer makes it possible to do, in half an hour, tasks which were completely unnecessary to do before.
Now Slashdotters have an excuse for not reading the articles!

Yes, I have Longhorn installed on my 5tb/sqare inch pixie dust drive, and it's damned tightly integrated with my bitboys video card. I use CherryOS on it to emulate the mac at faster than native speed!
Phil, get back to work and make me some cool graphics pronto!
I considered using this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_V_Shaney and cron to do something fun with the mailing list archives, but I figured people might notice. Perhaps they wouldn't...

I guess today is a passable day to die.
I always planned to be playing Duke Nukem on my E17 desktop running on GNU/Hurd.
I've been asking myself that for years now :D
