For when you are using MS-Windows: get "X-Mouse". It is a little program that somehow persuades MS-Windows to use a focus-follows-mouse style. Without this utility I'd have never survived that brief period where I was forced to use MS-Windows at a job.
When you are using WINE to mix Windows apps with Linux apps, use WINE's -managed option to make fvwm2 handle such things as window focus.
You got distracted by the last few lines of what you call trolling. The point was _not_ that Linus, and all the other kernel developers can't be unfair tyrants. The point was that the Linux kernel developers can't throw a hissy-fit and yank big chunks out of the kernel. Once source is released GPL, you can no longer make it proprietary--not so with BSD licence. (Well, you *could* make a proprietary release of code that was previously released as GPL, but ONLY if you are the copyright holder, and even then you couldn't revoke your previous release under the GPL.) ----
'Oh yeah, that article's author does Carmack a disservice by repeatedly referring to him as a "low-level hacker".'
I agree. This guy seems to throw around the terms "low level" and "high level" with considerable abandon, making whatever he is actually saying annoyingly vague. I believe strongly that precision is extremely important whenever one is trying to participate in a reasoned discussion, and this author sorely lacks such precision, thus obfuscating his logic. ----
