Work on the X11 port The XFree86 source is in the Darwin repository. John Carmack got it running on Mac OS X Server. It needs to be made to work using IOKit, and we need a port based on the newer 4.0 release of XFree86. This will give Darwin a windowing system and increase useability. It will also be useful to get the X server running inside of Quartz, so that X apps can run on Mac OS X.
According to one of my professors, when we landed on the moon, we actually had the capability to land on mars. he was part of a project that built and tested nuclear powered rockets that were capable of sending humans to mars. of course this was all stopped because the government thought that the moon was good enough.
I'm an engineering student at U of M and have been asking about this for a long time. If you goand ask anyone in CAEN about this you get the run around. I finally got to the bottom of it when taking to some of the higher ups.
CAEN loves suns and hps. They believed that there would be a greater response to the "blue hat linux" release. since there wasn't any great thing about it they probably won't continue. So much for a major university supporting Linux. BTW as of now CAEN sees no place for Linux in their labs.
It has been made illegal in specific contries but it hasn't been unformally banned. If you were talking about the US then as it stated on the web page Clinton did all that he could do, made it so labs who were thinking about doing human cloning wouldn't recieve federal money.
Personally i think that it would be extremly weird to have a kid that looked "exactly" like me.
But I wonder why people feel it's useful to ask Prof. Hawking these type of questions.
The reason that comes to mind would be the same one if you wanted to ask Sir Isaac Newton or Albert Einstien what they thought the next centurys would be like. Its fun to see what brilliant people think, or even famous people think, of the future.
No, I fear that people only ask him because he's a celebrity. And I fear that he's mainly a celebrity because of his illness.
The first time i heard of him was when my dad bought me "A Brief history of time" when i was 14. I never knew about his illness until after i read the book. I think that his illness may have increased his celebrity status in some people's minds, but in my mind, i will always remember him as brilliant.

I found this in the Darwin wish list.

This is what i have heard from CAEN

yeah, but is it right for them to charge the amount that they do for windows and office and many other product?
just think of it as microsoft giving people a fair market value for their software.
