    I just re-read that post... the part about getting a scholarship is not true. In order to get that, you'd have to be of tribal blood, which is 25% or more. Every tribe is different, but Navajo I believe is 25%. But that still doesn't guarentee you a scholarship, it just means your eligable to apply for it. :) There isn't a whole lot of money floating around for those scholarships, so the pickings are thin.

    I'd have to agree with your entire post there, guy. You've hit the nail right on the head, in a lot of ways.

    As far as the republican == racist cliche a fed upon, I was just raising hairs :) It's amazing how people are stuck in this whole "democrat vs. republican" mindset. I'm neither honestly, though I sway left-wing as an independent.

    History is written by the conqueror in almost every case... sad, but true.

    PS: My wife says hi, and she's full blooded navajo tribe. She thinks it's funny your calling me racist because... SHE'S NATIVE.. and doesn't like being called an indian because she's a navajo.

    Oh yes, I am a left winger... but that holds no bearing on racist stances, considering that by nature is a republican only stance.

    Speak for yourself. I was born here, as were most people I know. We never migrated, except from one part of the US to another. Most of the rest migrated from other parts of the "New World" if they are not native.

    The term Native American refers to the people that came onto these lands before there were any humans here. Of course, the original poster is pushing symantecs and trying to compare current humans to our nomadic ancesters, which is a very bad argument. Of course, we'd expect people to try to legitimize the "culturalization" of the Native Americans by simply stating that we're all the same people.

    Maybe we should start saying that there are no real Europeans (German, French, etc), there are merely people of African descent. :P

    I hate when people call Native Americans "Indians"... It's like walking up to a person from India and calling them French.

  13. Re:Myabe X11 just needs another revision on Linux Desktop Without X11 · · Score: 1

    What you are proposing is creating another display server without the features that X provides, yet your argument is the API.

    This would be a very bad thing, as you'd lose everything that has been done up to this point. The better alternative would be to do a rewrite of some API calls, or provide a branch of the existing libraries.

    I feel good about the fact that you are not a dicision maker in any politics in the X realm, because quite frankly your idea in the last paragraph scares the hell out of me. If I want to run Windows, I'll run Windows.

    twm is just the window manager, so that's the point that was being made. As another person pointed out, you can use fluxbox or blackbox, also. I personally use Window Maker, because it offers ease of use, it's functional, pretty where it counts, and leaves me deskspace :) It's also very low on the memory usage. (about 3 megs)
    Don't take the full memory usage of X into account, because it uses AGP memory also in that listing.
    Here's mine:
    PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ Command
    7585 root 9 0 273m 17m 4328 R 0.0 3.4 0:07.66 X

    You'll notice the resident size is 17 meg, and the shared memory size is 4 megs (approximately).

    17 megs for X, 3 megs for Window Maker... that's 20 megs for everything X related. Of course the XTerms take up like 3.3 megs a peice on my system, but then you have ATerm which on my system takes up 1.5 meg a terminal session.

    Phoenix is what I use for a web browser, which takes up 30 megs. (6 sessions, 24 megs each, 23 megs of that shared between sessions, which means the first is 24 megs and the others are 1 meg)

    Other apps take their respective memory usages, but that's the breakdown. It's not X that takes alot of memory, it's the toolkits used over top of it.

    This isn't an analog answer, it's a digital answer we are looking for... there's no "hey, it holds files, and puts them across the network" to this. Anyone can do that with Samba, NFS, or other choices.

    Distributed is much harder to come across. I wish DFS was more mature on Linux.

    That, along with the fact that alot of people in America carry quite a few 1 dollar bills along with them "just in case" they want to get something cheap, or find themselves in a position where they need a dollar for something.
