They use the xlibs to communicate with the X server. In simple terms, they provide a C interface to the X (and lots of releated X mechanisms) protocols. I see very little of the slowness everyone trolls about, though if you want to improve it, one should implement some better redrawing algorithms in the toolkits. And write some better gfx card drivers. Though that is hard, graphics is hard. And vendors do seldom hand out hardware specs to everyone.
One more question. Whats the diffrence between the freedesktop xlibs, and the xlibs in XFree86 ? I understand they forked from XFree at one point. What did they change/improve ?
Nice. I bought a Playstation 2, but cannot develop , much less distribute any software for it without paying $$ to Sony Not even use it for much but playing dvds and expensive games. I very much welcome projects like this. Ok, Sony did release a Linux kit for it, they get credit for that. But what if the what we see on the game consoles today is the PC future ?

It also becomes a mess when you have some people write If(something){ } later you see IF or if. Case sensivity preserves sanity and helps enforce coding standard. It's a good thing, learn to deal with it.
If you do some calculations based on the martian atmosphere pressure and gravity, liquid water have no trouble existing. In the present environment, it will mostly stay frozen though.
But what about intranet sites ? Most companies I've visited runs one or more intranet sites. And they seem to run lots of diffrent things. Would be nice to get some statistics on those.
Ok, wether or not NASA does false colorization of the pictures I cannot tell. However it IS well known among scientists that does not base their work at false colored pictures that the martian sky is red at day, and blue at sunset/sunrise. It really doesn't take that long time with google to find some facts from trusted sources on thatone.
For the unfortunate friends and family that run Windows, I always install adaware and do a scan of their computer every once in a while. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ It seems to take care of the adware kazaa installs, and most others. Reccomended for every windows user, should be "mandatory" like antivirus software.
Does anyone remember Thor ? It was an offline message reader/controller for Amiga and worked with AmiBBS. Somewhat similar to a mail client today, where you could download messages, filelists, etc, read them offline, reply, and upload them on the next connect. It rocked.
Well I reccomend the good old time SunRPC. It doesnt have 1. though that depends on what you mean by "object oriented". I sense you want do export your C++ objects;) There are other ways of doing OO.. It is somewhat lacking in 4 and 5 , though GSS-RPC will give you both. It is also not that difficult to implement authentication providers for sunrpc.. And for those that hate the portmapper, you don't have to use it. Another + is that it's small and fast. And you can do rpc over unix domain sockets, easing the pain to create custom protocols for interproces communication on the local box.
When I experimented with SOAP, it was around 60% metadata, and the bytes sent by the protocol were 600% more than the equivialent done with SunRPC. (That was for one particular application, others will vary.)
Well, there is a somewhat hole in bringing various things together, there are however may such things on linux. NIS is one. LDAP another common one, often used together with kerberos. Its perfectly doable, as I have a small network here using ldap for storing user information and kerberos for authentication and single signo on of services. Works amazingly well.http://www.bayour.com/LDAPv3-HOWTO.html provides a rather extensive howto. It's for debian, using RedHat/Fedora I found the patching and building from source unneeded.

Virtually every toolkit out there uses xlib. It really isn't
"little used", but rather key part of the whole *nix desktop.

For fun ?
There already is a standard. www.freedesktop.org, now you only need applications to implement them without bugs.
When I make a class Person {..} I want the other developers to use
Person person = new Person(..); not
person person = new perSon();
It also becomes a mess when you have some people write
If(something){
}
later you see IF or if.

According to some JPL people in #maestro , they use Sun boxes with Solaris, though seldom with CDE.
Why don't we just continue and do what we do today, make hamburgers of 'em. ? ;)
And since there is no last digit of pi, the whole thing is ofcourse useless to discuss.
Useless to the public, yes. To the NASA people working with Mars, very useful.

1. Why
2. Do you have any idea how big jupiter is ? it BIG. e.g the orange spot/storm commonly seen on jupiter images is the size of earth

I find s-lang a very nice extension language. www.s-lang.org

So, one should not write GUI apps ? afaik posix doesn't standarize a GUI.
There is Motif in the SUS specification though..
