Why then does Debian work? People will add patches to this for the gain of the community. Personaly, I'd have no qualms with RH using my patch in their enterprise product, just as I'd be fine with other Fedora users using my patch.
And the X server might render windows as textures, then composite the screen every 1/60 for ultra smooth update.
This would do nothing to stop update flicker. The current problem is becuase the program is still drawing while the framebuffer is composited to screen. Drawing the window to a texture would do nothing to change this as a locking mechanism is needed which X has no support for.
Or, even better, there's this wonderful perl script I wrote to do it all automaticly. It needs to be running on a *nix system with wget, and perl ninjas will all complain that the code looks like shit, but it does the job.

The best improvement I think we could bring to X11 would be a special mode where each window is a live opengl surface. That way we wouldn't need to do "exposure" events and other things. Window dragging would be silky smooth. Other 3d effects could follow. Forget the frame buffer.
Hear hear! I'm sure plenty of people would bitch about it not running on their non AGP toaster or whatever, but I'd say that this would actually make a decent display system. I believe Microsoft is doing this for the next Windows, and from what I've seen it looks pretty cool.
I'd agree with that, as even if the eye can see really high framerates, monitors can't. Most monitors rarely go above 95Hz, so a 200Hz game would be pointless.
Granted, the human eye can see a lot more than 30fps but, look at your monitor refresh rate. Mine is currently 95Hz. Anything more than that is definately overkill.
BTW, a pet peeve of mine. People who disagree with homosexuality are not homophobes. Calling them homophobes is a type of hate speech in itself as it tries to villify a group of people. I think homosexuality is wrong, disgustingly so. I speak out against it. I am not afraid of homosexuals. A homophobe is afraid of homosexuals.
I think this sums it up rather well: A homophobe is anyone who has an irrational fear for homosexuality whether they are aware of this fear or not. Since prejudice of any form is irrational and a product of fear of difference anyone prejudiced against homosexuals is homophobic. Some homophobes maintain they are not homophobic because they don't mind homosexuality but they wish the would do it behind closed doors/not kiss in public/have no equality/have no freedom of speech/would just go away. Again, this is an irrational treatment of homosexuality based on prejudice: at least do the honorable thing and admit you are a homophobe.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way to find something on freenet is to search for it. The whole point in whistle blowing is that nobody knows about whatever you're uncovering. If they don't know about it, how can they search for it? If nobody searches for it, it will fall of freenet, never to be seen. The only way of using freenet for whistle blowing would be to upload it, and then tip someone off. This takes away the whole point of it being anonymous as you could just tell the reporter rather than telling them to look at freenet.
I remember from the early episodes os Scrapheap challenge they had to build a hovercraft. At the start they admitted that they had planted several fans for the hovercraft amongst the scrap.
Though, I can see how the minority of people that like apple can make it look like slashdot likes apple. But this is a problem with the moderation system. If you notice, any post negative to apple == negative karma, every post positive to apple == positive karma. Since the moderators are a minority(on a given day), I can see how this easilly happens.
So, since dog food tasters are a minority, and people who can speak Klingon are a minority, do all dog food tasters speak Klingon?

Care to go into any specifics?

Really? What law requires the "innocents" to stay with a spam-friendly ISP? Or did you mean unwilling instead of unable?
The laws of economics? Just switching ISP on a wim because some asshole decided to block your subnet is not a cheap thing to do.

You only get the CPU tab if you install the CHUD tools, so you'll have to install no matter what.
There's a send bug report feature in Safari. Turn the button on in the view menu.

Technically you want him hanged drawn and quartered.
Yes, but when 10.3 appears all this software will get some mysterious 'incompatibility' with the new OS. Guess what fixes that?
Here's a couple of screenshots I just knocked up.

you are finished talking, type RET twice.
Not all of them?
Why do you say not all of them?
Some people call my technology "Case Based Reasoning" or CBR.
What makes you believe that?
Belief is based on knowledge or facts.
Maybe your plans have something to do with this.
Perhaps. Maybe I can alter my strategy.
Is it because of your life that you say perhaps maybe you can alter
your strategy?
It could be. Ask Lucy if it is.
Are you sure that it could be ask lucy if it is?
I am as sure as I can be.
Is it because of the people you hang around with that you are going
through all this?
Better not tell you now. Ask Paola if it is.
I don't understand.
Oh I'm sorry. Perhaps I can explain it again better.
How do you reconcile problems at school?

It's based on The Great Egg Race. Though where the idea for that came from is a mystery...
OS X "Jaguwire" requires a 3d video card with T&L engine (ie, Nvidia geforce1 or ATI radeon +)
Then how come I'm writing this on 10.2 with an ATI 128?

1. Get scared about a modchip which might slightly reduce number of games sold.
2. Withdraw all X-Boxen
3. ???
4. Profit!!
Actually, Interface Builder lets you specify 'springs' to make GUIs resizable in very intelligent ways.
