    and on top, he killed hundreds of thousands in Laos, Cambodia, and vietnam.

    but on the plus side, he established the rights-stomping war on drugs, and as an added bonus went after peaceful protestors and tried to create a police state.

    if only we could have another president like richard milhouse nixon.

    sigh... i get all gushy just thinking about it.

    your experience is different than mine then...

    i've tried to get opengl working over the wire, and had success getting the 2d renderring to work ok, but once you cross into ANYTHING 3d animated, the optimizations fall apart.

    lets put it this way - opengl over the wire aint good enough for government work, if'n ya know what i mean...

    >True. Which is why nobody writes to Xlib

    yeh - if you find yourself writing calls to XLib, you're pretty f'ing deep in shit. The XServer, Window Managers, Toolkits, and *certain special* apps write directly to XLib, but just about nothing else does.

    Its like complaining string manipulation in libc is too complex, so libc nees to be replaced.

    thats called "normal". You can get personal references, but not corporate references.

    you should have been able to talk to your supervisors, etc. in order to secure personal references, but never ever expect a company to make a statement one way or the other about you.

    let me get this straight - you are for the abolition of public schools, public libraries, and social safety net programs?

    i'm hoping that your just a troll, because it really bothers me to think that there are people who have such myopic views of society at large.
