*Content*-wise, BGS is a pretty good podcast, but after listening to about 5 of them, one of the hosts has the most irritating, screetchy, nerdy, fingernails-on-the-chalkboard laughs I've EVER heard. I had to unsubscribe in complete disgust and anger with the intent on never listening to it again. The cream of the crop IMHO, is Science Friday and for astronomy-related stuff, iPlanetary Radio is good.
Quick questions what's harder to rewrite? the legalese of XFree's newest licensing or a windowing system?
I don't think XFree will keep the language that's in the licensing once they get enough pressure from the distros.
A rewrite of something as complicated as X (and everything that depends on it!) Go read some joelonsoftware and get some opinions on ground-up rewrites.
I'd rather see concerted efforts to overhaul the driver effort and acceleration rather than recreate the world.
