    The Reagan debt was not repaid. It still has not been repaid. The current deficit will only add the Bush debt onto the Reagan debt. Our children WILL pay for all of this.

    x.org == X Consortium
    X11 == X Window System 11
    X Window System == A windowing system, consisting of a client and a server that communicate via an open protocol. Many different vendors distribute X clients and servers, commercial and free.

    The X Consortium manages the X protocol and distributes a reference implementation of clients and servers. XFree86 is a fork of the X Consortium implementation that was originally intended to run on x86-class machines -- thus the name. Freedesktop.org is a loose coalition attempting to corral all the competing *nix desktop software into a cohesive whole by setting up standards. They also provide support for a project that is working on an improved client and server for X11.

    GNUCash, KOffice, XCDRoast. FreeAMP. GAIM is at least as reasonable as AIM. Xterm. I'm sure there are more, especially if you include the whole crop of K and G apps named after what they do.

    One of the issues with Free software that I would agree with is the love of acronyms. XMMS, GIMP, etc.

    As an aside, "aspirin" became generic not due to dilution, but due to the nullification of German trademarks in the US.

    This is not limited to open-source software whatsoever.

    In any case, Pango is not user-level software; it is a library. JACK is essentially the same. Valgrind is also developer software.

    I don't see what's wrong with the name Xouvert. "X-Open."

    Most of the gay men I know love QE4SG. One of the comments I hear commonly is that although a few of the Fab Five are flaming (Fashion, Culture), some are much more normal (Interior Design, Grooming), and one is even more so (Cuisine).

    The only people I've found so far that dislike Queer Eye have been straight guys. To the other person who replied to my original post: yes, you're right. The Fashion guy is absolutely terrible. It's not a big deal. The show is funny, good-natured, and gives an occasional bit of good advice.

    The truth is, a lot of gay guys really do act like that. It's a cultural thing, and it's not an insult to portray gay men as acting that way. It's not like they talk with a lispth and call each other 'girlfriend'. The stereotype of homosexual men that is much more dangerous, in my opinion, is that they're mindless sex fiends.
