I hope the developers keith and the other guy respond to your post.
How exactly WILL it compare to Apples Quartz? Because thats all that really matters here. Will it compete with OSX or not?
The hardware limitation isnt a big deal, first of all OpenGL will work just fine, second why the hell would they go through all this work if its just a software hack? IF we want a software hack we can just use enlightenment which does alot of software effects or we can use KDE and use the little transparency hack effect.
Graphics cards are fine but when will linux actually use the power of these cards? I want to see this on my interface. I want the KDE team to do it and I'm willing to pay money.
When is linux going to catch up to OSX? Microsoft is currently planning to launch a new powered up interface, OSX is coming with jaguar, what is linux doing? Oh right.
Any discovery which you dont believe humanity can handle, dont reveal it. Keep it to yourself, or store it on a secure format and hide it in a save under the ground somewhere.
I'm sure the people who discovered nuclear technology are sorry now, considering how it was used.
Look every good technology gets in the hands of bad people, and its used for bad reasons, even computers.
Why release technology thats too advanced for the worst of our species to handle? If bin laden could use it to destroy the world, you dont release it.
All they have to do now is say "lets take earth" Then use our DNA to come to earth in human form and slowly take over from within witohut us ever knowing.
Thats the best solution. Do you really believe your government will use this to help you?
Do you want to see time warfare? Do you want the government to control the past and future?
Dont release devices which humanity is not responsible enough to handle. We can barely handle nuclear power and computers how the hell are we supposed to handle time travel?
Just like we can blame doom creator john carmack for inciting violence at columbine, we can blame the creators of gnutella for inciting piracy.
Lets create new laws to slowly shut down the world wide web, I mean we capitalists worked hard ot gain control of the web, and if we cant have it, no one can!
Lets show those GNU pengiun loving open source pirates that sharing is bad! Lets make them so afrraid to share that they'll be forced to work for us!

Why even talk about OSX if you dont like its best features? its eye candy and flash are what seperates it from linux.

Unless its as good as OSX, its not worth it.
Theres no easy way to use Xrender so no ones using it.
Why dont you ask keith packard because I dont know, but I hope they get alpha channel working soon
Why is there still no alpha channeling? What about genie effect?
how much money would it take to get this code written?
how about a few hundred thousand?
Dont you think we need openGL interfaces by now?
How dare you label me as flame bait, FUCK YOU!
Now that is an official flame. I've earned my label.

They are still working on alpha channel lol.
Why do intelligent people invent devices which help evil less intelligent people enslave them?
What good is a mind control device?
stalin didnt invent nuke, his scientists did.
maybe if his scientists all decided not to invent nuke, we wouldnt have nuke.
history proves optimistic viewpoints usually dont tell the truth.
The Native Americans were Optimistic when meating Europeans.
no they = us
lets not break them up into russia and china and make it a competition
when russia has war with us, people die, thus we die.
they are us, we are them.
And you think Windows is? Are you a damn fool? have you used Windows XP? Have you looked at statistics?
You might be right if you mean OSX, but Windows?
With Reason and Fruityloops, or clones of these programs, linux will be on its way as a musicians choice OS.
Too bad that program doesnt compile because you dont have a main function main() you dont have any header files either,
If you are going to post some fiction source code, at least do it like they do in movies.

You cannot control how your art is distributed by the masses, you can only control when.
Once he released it, its out in the wild, he has no control.
Couple hundred? More like a couple hundred thousand.
Depending on the amount of fans you have.
25 cents a song, per fan, 50,000 fans, if they all buy 8 songs, thats 200k

If you discover time travel for example why tell the world? They'd only use it to destroy themselves with.
Theres no point in releasing earth shattering discoveries, the world isnt even ready for computers and nuclear technology.
Everything we invent, they use to destroy the world.
Why invent anything? Every invention brings us one step closer to self destruction.
Some discoveries are best kept to yourself, especially when you know the world cant handle it.
