X.Org Releases First Modular Source Roll-Up

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-to-be-confused-with-the-fruit-variety dept.

NewsForge is reporting that X.Org has released their first modular roll-up release. From the article: "All X11R7.0 derivative ("modularized") releases divide the source code into logically distinct modules, separately developed, built, and maintained by the community of X.Org developers. This concentrates and accelerates development time, supporting continuous modification, testing, and publication of each module.The new modular format offers focused development, and rapid and independent updates and distribution of tested modular components as they are ready, freed from the biennial maintenance release timetable."

    I think you meant to say echo ...>sys/X116.9 -> packages.mask. Gentoo rocks. One of the many reasons other than a seriously informed community (More to the point their is a community sorry SuSE). But man is X11 greater than 6.8 a bugy HAL's broken. The the NV stuff is broken. hot and cold plug are broken etc. etc. etc. etc. Soon as we can get something other than X11 to do the widget stuff I'll say: Good ridance! Mabie porting Quartz to the BSD and Linux kernel would be a good idea. Other than fidgeting with compiz I honestly don't know what super duper great things X11 7 provides.

  3. May 22:Prostitute Schedule @ MBOT in San Francisco by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Like Las Vegas, San Francisco offers prostitution as a tourist attraction. If you want to buy some prostitution services (i.e., hand job, blow job, or full sexual intercourse), you need to merely walk through the doors of the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater (MBOT), located at 895 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, California.

    Check out the prostitute schedule for May 22, 2006 at the MBOT.

    The prostitute schedule is updated daily.

    Unlike Las Vegas, San Francisco does not regulate prostitution. So, the MBOT heartily welcomes everyone -- including HIV-positive customers.

    If you are repulsed by the idea of receiving sex services from a prostitute (at the MBOT) who services roughly 1000 guys per year, then consider the following 2 genuine stripclubs, which prohibit prostitution.

    Crazy Horse
    -----------
    980 Market Street
    San Francisco, California

    Gold Club
    ---------
    650 Howard Street
