Uhh, you've got it backwards, if I parsed it correctly (doubtful). On Mac OS X, X11.app runs on top of the Quartz graphics stack, which is architecturaly quite similar to X11, but the layering is only at the API level, not at the protocol one, so no nifty features like graphics server proxies, null servers, network transparency, etc. BTW, I think it's actually XDarwin packaged, so it's not a complete X.org replacement. It's quite crippled, as I understand, which I believe is part of Apple's strategy to leech off *NIX, as X11 pretty much work, but native ports will be preferred, and, as you mentioned, nothing made for Quartz will run on anything without Quartz, and hence why it's closed source.
Another thing, though Mac OS X is SUS2000 certified, and Windows is barely POSIX, Mac OS is actually rather quirky in comparison, because a lot of obvious stuff is broken (like/etc/fstab, seriously Apple, WTF?), while windows handles a bit more predictably, AFAIK, especially from the CLI, or a programmer's perspective, but of all three, actually linux is the quirkiest (ask anybody porting linux apps on *BSD) and unpredictable by sheer variation of distros, and this post is getting OT, so I'd better stop.;) HTH
So, why not use Java 3D? It's a wrapper API for D3D and OGL, and since it interfaces with Java, it's pretty much buzzword compliant (i.e. OOP, etc.). Just a thought.
Dude, pkgsrc has had nonroot instalations for a billion years. The fact that the linux jocks are more stuck in the mainframe ages (i.e. only the admin installs stuff) than a fringe *BSD is a separate issue. Have you tried installing it in the/home dir and adding apps from there? HTH YMMV
Its already disabled if it's a botnet node, dipshit. Second of all, via your negligence to keep your computer clean, you are costing many more lifeyears in money and frustration to others. BTW, try and pull a gun on me and see what happens. (Hint: It has to do with a Russian general, and is well known around the world.)
Same on my new AMILO, though it said it had Linux preinstalled. Boy, am I a sucker... Guys, next time I'm out to get a new PC, remind me to stay away from FSC. They got good config/price combos, but if you can't trust them to get a decent preinstalled OS, then... You get my meaning, I think.
Role model? Didn't think I said that, but that head on approach to life really took me in to rap when I was 12-13, and I haven't looked back since, because all I saw was an egocentric moma's-boy prick - the me that I hate, so maybe not a roll model, but more of an inspiration, to move on, look at the big picture, some have it worse than you, etc...
Secondly (man I hate arguing with such a nice post..., but it wouldn't be me if I didn't) I never mentioned illicit drugs, and alcohol never impressed me much. I was saying that taking pharms (note: nothing else) was the only thing left. The life(style) of a druggie isn't much different (maybe longer...he-he) whether its pills or powder, though I can't see myself go into that hellhole completely - the point isn't to really get high, it's to be able to drag my ass outta bed on to work without hating myself for it. I know, thats what all/most of them say, but this is just my side of the story, interpret it as you will.
BTW, the only thing resembling what you proposed in the third paragraph is the public swimming pool, and, when I think about it, I get along fine with the people in the dressing room and shower, however short the time is. Thing is, I barely have the time, (okay so I'm lazy, I hate myself for not having the willpower, but that's not helping as you could guess) or the inclination to try and get into something like this. Maybe I overstated my isolation at school, but thats not the issue that pushed me to seeking amphetamine/methylphenidate (whichever they give me), and overly relying on/. for personal relations.
Thing is, I'm a bit to emotional for my own good. As in "my first three in a row shots of whiskey were after she cut me off" emotional. It seems I can't take being rejected as when I was the boy genius with a bright future ahead. Actually, now that I'm more socially incined and open, it hurts more. And that fear of rejection, along with gnawing lonelyness (not the kind you get rid of with a beer and friends (now don't tell me/. isn't good for this), neither the one that's cured by jacking off) is pushing me to find something to entertain myself with, and being head deep into work is the only usefull way, but I'm way too burnt out from school as it is, hence - the drugs (that, and keeping decently geeky grades;) ). I think this is simply too early for me, but I guess having an off line wikipedia mirror in your head somehow quickens other things. Thanks for the advice, and, more importantly, thanks for caring. Cheers bro'!
Dude, all I've ever heard "face-to-face" is "GTFO!", nothing more, nothing less. On/. I get to talk with particle physicists, progrmmers, alcoholics, pro-drug advocates, or all at once. I get respect even when they don't agree with me. Hell, people LAUGH at my jokes. All this feels like, loosing my virginity, or something faintly resembling what I guess it would feel like. This place IS my life. I never get anything at highschool, except smacks, "Beat it!", and the not so occasional bad grade (gee, I wonder why...). But seen as my study load is rising, I'm switching to ADHD "medication" (though tests show there could be something actually wrong), partly to get rid of actual symptoms, partly because I want to feel truly happy once in a while. I know, I'm a druggie waiting to happen, but hey, I didn't ask to be forced in the educational system, and I'm not payin' the bills, so to quote eminem - "I just don't give a fuck!". Cheers! At least for you guys.

Does anybody else think some SPARC microblades (~3 GB D[Q?]*DR2 RAM, 6[8?] cores) with embedded and optimized in-motherboard RAM are gonna wipe the floor with these? Besides, the ISA isn't half as obscure, so it will do well for general purpose shit (as in "OMG, THAT'S your home server/NAS/main desktop (probably at once). Where is that commodity SPARC hardware Sun? My money ain't good enough?

One word: ACPI Another couple of words: broken implementations on most motherboards

Dude, that's worse than goatse ascii art...
I dare you to try that in Ada. *ducks*
Don't blame me for your failure to take adequate measures to prevent me from nuking your MBR. Sound familiar?

Are you male or female?
I hate wasting my time for my computer and other devices.
Please turn in your geek card at the clerk on exiting. Thank you.
BTW, whats your chipset?
You, sir, owe me a new sarcasm meter.

As an offended acid head, I must say I am rally offended - take that back! Even crack heads and meth junkies don't deserve that!

Tell that to these guys.
Thanks for the idea. ;p
This is OT, but i must ask, are you on DVORAK?

The userland is the same. Fragmentation in modern GNU/* comes from variations in the userland. The kernel is the "compile on top and forget" bit.
