    Ohh i got it, you confuse corruption with conservative. Sorry that's across the board when politics are involved. If you want to limit that then reduce government power.

    Also, because the liberals that run the show - as both "democrats" and "republicans" - would just label them as "capitalists" and they would be marginalized out of existence.

  6. Re:How long? on Wayland 1.0 Released, Not Yet Ready To Replace X11 · · Score: 1

    the last 4 places I've worked only used RDP or ICA for displaying windows apps on Linux. VNC has only ever been a last resort protocol. X11's network transparency is the only way to get stripped down Linux installs for things like Oracle and their crappy dependance on a working X11 display (local or remote)

    This needs to become a hot button item. Everyone needs to ask about it and it should be a polarizing issue like abortion and gay rights seems to be. This is far more important than either of those in shear number of people affected. If a politician votes to limit any of the freedoms outlined in the Bill of Rights he does not get my vote. Period.

    And they don't want you to be. Luckily they are nice enough to let you play with their toys without being a member as long as you obey some very basic and permissive rules.
