First you have to show your intentions and your skills, write a few drivers and try to get them into the kernel tree.
Then you have to try and find yourself a job where they let you do kernel development, if your good enough then all you have to do is shout for a new job and someone will pick you up.
Unless your really good and dedicated your going to have a hard time getting paid for developing kernel drivers.
Microsoft's DRM is used by a large number of companies without any problems so there's no reason (except vendor lockin) that Apples couldn't be used by a large number of companies without any problems.
If I take a picture of an arch with something in the background of the arch there's no way it's going to be able to measure both the foreground and background distances without any knowledge of the distance the objects are away from the camera etc... You'd have to stick known distance marks on everything in your picture.
Being agnostic requires that you think there may be a god. If you were never told that a God may exist I very much doubt you would be agnostic. Just look at some of the countries with atheism in the 90%s, I'm sure there aren't people going round forcing people into atheism.
All we need now is for the government to arrest all the religious people for interfering with atheists (and we are all born atheists) and the world will be a better place.
You can still find out how the GPL guy done something that may be hard for you to do and then reimplement it under whatever license you want.

The iPhone isn't really a good example other mobile oses (e.g. Linux) could have done the job just as well if not better. There are only two reasons for apple to use their own OS branding and vendor lockin.
My banking site only asks a password and part of a second password (e.g. the 5th 3rd and 7th letters) that way if a fisher grabs part of the password and can't use it to login on the real site as it will probably ask for a different combination of letters.
And if thread management is good/fast enough then there's no reason things like GUI widgets can't run on their own thread/core. (I doubt spell checker in Firefox runs in it's own thread though)
ubuntu has no upgrade option, no repaire option I can't even tell it to fetch all the files off the web instead of asking me to insert a disk and when I tried to install it over an old copy of ubuntu it kept saying that I hadn't set a root partition. And that's before I get onto the number of times it asked me to set something simple like my location and language.
and Ubuntu's supposed to be an easy to use version of Linux.
Apple may win because it's the 'best' of both worlds, a posix core with lots of drivers that god a nice gui and is easy to configure the basic stuff with many commercial applications.
Where it falls down is that it's expensive and has serious vendor lock-in problems, two really big points on my shopping list.
When you write a patent you have to describe exactly how it works (well here in the UK anyway). That makes all patents open source, so if I can just look up the S3TC patent and get the algorithm why would it force ATI/NVidia to close source their drivers? That doesn't make sense.
Is it me of have/. headlines been getting very dubious lately. Just take 'Bill to Treat Bloggers as Lobbyists Defeated' as an example of a dubious headline for today (there have been many more this week).

I get tonnes of junk mail through my door even though I always check/uncheck the don't pass my details on to someone else box.
Next time I move house I'm going to register all my bills in different names so that I know exactly who's passing my details on.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ

another tactic of the IRA was to set of bombs at a time when there would be no one around.

It won't be long before you find you've swapped one dictatorship for another.

So long as you held the copyright on your works it's easy....
For works created after January 1, 1978, the duration of a copyright is for the life of the author plus 70 years

But Tesco don't sell food, I think that's where you were going wrong.
Sshhhh! Don't let the Americans know it's French!
Like that statue that the guy in NY named his french fries after.
live yeast really gives you gas of doom
And that's what yogurt's supposed to be good at killing off.

convenient is an odd choice of words, convenient for who? I don't think it's the end users, driver developers or distributions.
I think Mersenne primes are good for psudorandom number generators.
