The Multi-Pointer X server
worufu writes "Some weeks after releasing the MPX (Multi-Pointer X Server), the Linux world slowly seems to draw attention to the project which opens up the limits of simultaneous input devices of the current X server. The future possibities are unlimited and I cannot wait to see some nice applications supporting the advantages of multiple input devices.
From the project description: 'The Multi-Pointer X Server is an enhanced X server to support multiple mice. It provides users with one cursor per device. Each cursor can operate independently. A multicursor windowing system allows two-handed interaction with legacy applications, but also the creation of innovative applications and user interfaces.'"

Well, that's the thing about the Dark Side, isn't it? The #2 spot is actually worse than the #3, because #1 has to constantly crush you under his thumb, to keep you in your place and show you who's boss.
No, like Robinson Crusoe's father, I believe the middle station is best -- or rather, the middle station of the upper echelon. I'd go for, say #100 on the hit parade. High enough up to be to far too valuable to waste, not high enough to be considered a threat to the established order.
