*Yawn*. Can we skip the right-on reactionary socialist BS please?
"That firm, and several related firms have now blacklisted me"
No one gets blacklisted unless they're a total tool or they live in north korea. Perhaps you should give us the full story instead of your poor-lil-me abridged version.
Also its apparently escaped your notice that the guy had already been employed by the company so initially they obviously had no issue with him.
"emember that 1984 chunk of shit that shook more than a school bus on ice and still had the ashtrays in the seat arms, that represents their commitment to the private sector."
Riiiiight, because the 787 and 777 were designed in the early 80s.
Perhaps you should pick a better airline , one that doesnt fly you around in planes that Air Congo wouldn't consider air worthy.
He could have potentially wiped out some on going expensive research while he was at it and potentially cost lives not to mention jobs at a company that obviously wasn't in the best financial health to start with. This selt centered little prick doesn't deserve any leniency.
Don't try and add a scientific polish to something that is nothing more than glorified horse trading. There is no "physics"; waves are predictable, the stock market as has been proved time and again - is not.
"And anyone who thought it was... simply doesn't learn from history."
Unfortunately that sums up a lot of new "coders" from sausage machine colleges/universities where the only think they learnt was java and basic OO. They know little to nothing about older technologies and languages and how they work or what their advantages might be. I'm not blaming them (well ok , a bit , you'd think they'd be curious about what went before in their chosen profession) , its generally the fault of the courses they've been on.

Hard Truths About HTML5

They do real programming - writing device drivers, tuning graphical libraries , writing massively parallel simulation code. They DON'T piss about with HTML and javascript except in their free time for a hobby.
Yeah , mod me down all you moderating HTML "coders", I don't care, I have karma to burn.
"And all of this stuff would be completely useless if there wasn't client side code"
Well duh! Show me ANY aspect of the X server that would be any use without client side code.
"An app doesn't use XComposite"
XComposite is essentially an uprated version of the double buffer extension and plenty of apps used that so there's no reason new apps wouldn't be written to use XComposite.
Thats all well and good, but someone has to take the time to find a host for the VM , set it up including updates, logins and all the various mappings and then maintain it. And thats before you get into performance considerations.
VMs arn't a magic bullet, in fact for a lot of things they're barely a bullet at all.
Compositing is a function of the X server you clueless gimp , it has NOTHING to do with the window manager/desktop.
"You're not calling me utterly clueless, you're calling the Linux kernel developers utterly clueless including Linus Torvalds because this is the way the kernel has been developed for the LAST 20 YEARS."
Yes , and I've never been a fan of this approach. But its got a lot worse recently.
"No kernel be it Linux, Windows or OS X pledges backwards "
All have their limits of compatibility , but breaking it on a minor version number IS moronic.
"So in summary it appears to be you who are utterly clueless."
LOL:) Says the main who thought compositing was something to do with gnome. Ah , I needed a laugh today.
"eeds to be dragged kicking and screaming into the modern world "
I'm sorry , which "modern world" are you talking about? The one where the GUI gets in the fscking way of what the user actually wants to do?
"If the improvements break something in user land then tough."
No , its not "tough" , its moronic. Backwards compatability is not a nice-to-have , its a pretty damn fundamental to businesses and normal users. If you don't understand this then stay away from software development because you're obviously utterly clueless.
..because no bacteria will be able to process the new amino acid. I'm sure if these build up in the enviroment there couldn't possibly be any problems. Oh no.
The benefits to whom? The animals who's sexuallity is being modified by oestrogen mimicing pthalate additives in plastic? What advantages are they getting from it exactly?
They don't play any significant role in my life even though I use them. Anyone who thinks twitter or facebook are some sort of essential infrastucture compared to POTS or the post office are deluded idiots.
Lets face it , a large number of british workers are just bloody lazy and do a poor job. Sure, some employers sacked brits to employ foreigners on lower wages but thats the exception rather than the rule. Generally eastern europeans that come over here have a better work ethic than native brits. The lazy polish stay in poland.
Also lets not forget that a lot of these immigrants do jobs the british simply won't do such as working on farms.
Well said. Wish I had mod points. Even after everything thats happened I can't believe there are still liberals like the OP who seem to be utterly detached from reality. I can only think they're nothing more than pseudo intellectual bookworms who are up on trendy theory but completely lacking in real world experience. I can only hope the OP is a student and will grow up eventually.
"Have you noticed that a lot of the recent immigrants went back smartish"
No I haven't noticed. I still hear plenty of foreign languages on the tube.
"care to suggest what my son should be doing "
How about getting a job on a building site, or cleaning or 101 other low skilled jobs. If he's that badly dyslexic then thats going to be his lot for life. Unfair but thats just the way it is. Either way , given that blind people can manage to get jobs citing dyslexia as an excuse for being unemployed is frankly pathetic.

"HTTP is far better for doing what anonymous FTP does"
Really? Try uploading to a directory using an HTTP server.
I'm sure this has been done before , or am I missing something here?
Do yourself a favour - grow up and get a fscking clue.
"how many are less than 10 years old but look like they were made during carter's administration"
None. Production ceased in 1984.
I speak it fine thanks. Your comprehension on the other hand appears to require some work.
There was no excuse for what he did. End of.

XComposite is essentially an uprated version of the double buffer extension and plenty of apps used that so there's no reason new apps wouldn't be written to use XComposite.
"Of course the compositor is an extension because X doesn't know the first thing about compositing."
Sorry , is an X extension not part of the X server now or something? Is this really the only way you can argue your corner?
"You're really making a fool of yourself here."
I see the pot and kettle convention is well underway.
Complete crap.
Compositing is an X server extension , its not up for debate. A window manager is not required to support it for an app to be able to use it.

You might want to try this while you're at it:
xdpyinfo | grep Composite
Get back to me when you get a clue.
