Even if there was no development done in the US on Linux, if it has a significant impact on the use of computers and the electronic economy there might be a place in the museum.

From the American Heritage Dictoinary:
"calculator- A mechanical or electronic machine that performs mathematical operations"
"abacus- A manual counting and computing device consisting of a frame holding parallel rods wth movable beads".
So I think that the chinese beat everybody by a thousand years or so.
They used digtally created actors to partially block some of the nudity and more graphic acts in "Eyes Wide Shut", and compositinig them into place. All this to knock the rating dwon to R from NC-17.
You can use a command line interface in KDE without even opening an X-term. Just hit CTL-F2 and it pops a nice dialog to type your command into. If it's and X app it runs it like normal, if it's not it'll open an X-term for you and run the app there.
But there are programmers who are interseted in things like GUI's otherwise there wouldn't be so many wm's and desktop environments under development. And it hasn't only been since the media frenzy of coverage on Linux that all of these projects started, they were all there when I first became interseted last year. Therefore there must be alot of programmers out there who want/need graphical interfaces.
I thick you've got it backwards. Most of the stuff I see here the CLI pepole are reffering to GUI users as idiots and lusers. That in essence is what tags CLI proponents as "elitist".
