First: Kudos to Cherry for doing such a neat article!
Second: Before everyone starts saying 'Win3.1 could do this' - it could but the driver was crap and went to 100% processor usage all the time.
Third: Check out RTLinux (www.rtlinux.com) for a very cool mod to give real time scheduling to Linux (and now FreeBSD!) - I know the 2.0 version has an example PC speaker driver written as a Real Time kernel module, don't know about the new 3.0 - go get the patches, go have fun!
This is something I would love to see
integrated into the tree at some point.
I can understand why the schools are running scared in the states lately, but such over the top reactions just don't help, especially as it will put a feeling of power in the hands of The Bullies - 'Wow, we got this nerd kicked out as a lunatic!' - reinforcing their behaviour. I guess the school won't have a full investigation into the causes either....
Anyway: My solution - take a leaf out of the British way of doing things - Lunch Time Drinking & Lighten up guys!

True, but you get so used to being asked y/n that you always answer 'y' without thinking, it's as atomatic as making coffee;-)

My favourite guf of old:
cd \dos
del .
instead of
cd \dos
dir .
Of course you answer 'y' to the prompt without thinking about it....
DOH!

GNOME has been ported to windows, along with XF86, using Cygwin - there was an article about it here a few months back...
