YEP! No bragging there.(referring to the parent message) I say, "Just let the kid grow up". Who is one to brag. You only have so many years to live. The only fun way to live them is with friends, and whatever path you take down the road along the way is great. The parent letter is obviously flamebait by using the original email to try and show off his own smarts. One last thing that I say.

I totally agree with this. The only thing that I suggest is not to release it for one distribution, but to make Linux operating systems run on the same KDE. Also, open source is great but when there are too many hands in the pot, things can go awry. Also with the drivers it is not only quake 3 that had problem with drivers but many graphical 3d programs. The only way is to adapt with patches. Supporting it with only one video card would by pass our business laws that keep one company from having a monopoly. To better the release of quake for linux, it would be best if all of the developers get together and say "HEY!". That way they can all develop along the same standards.
Okay! Okay! I can understand the complaints about having to remember 10 digits but most people remember there social security numbers which are nine digits and most people can retain a whole list of phone numbers in their heads. I think that this is the right step for now because otherwise everyone couldn't have a phone number. I think that new technology that would allow high bandwidth in each home would be easier. So that you could access a phone number via a global "online" database via built in systems. Not necessarily through a whole computer setup. Maybe more like a built in pda with video telephone conferencing via high bandwith wireless internet access. New protocols and technology are being developed everyday for this. The FCC just gave a wireless company the go ahead for 10mbps wireless internet access, and another company has 11 mbps.
