    That is a horrible idea.. the last thing we need to do is waste even more performance with useless sandboxing and other jive. There's too much of that going on everywhere else now. Regardless of protocol, having sane toolkits and themes in the first place would go a long way towards making remote desktop quick and responsive even with bad connectivity. This means no stupid pixel shader driven desktops when running in remote mode..

    It does have a responsive and fast response.. It's the bloated toolkits and useless eyecandy rendering engines sitting under it that are the problem.. Turn off the compositor and it responds just fine, even on ancient late 90s hardware.

    Hi. 40 years have passed since 1970. By and large, the so called 'diversity' organizations in society are the largest offenders. The proof is in the law behind 'diversity' mandates for employers, college scholarships, and divorce courts.. The proof is on TV shows, commercials, movies, and music.

    Actually, it does exist. It's proponents include the Democrat party, the SPLC, and the NAACP. Also, the women's groups, like NARAL, and NOW. They are all responsible for lobbying unjust law based solely on bigoted generalizations, fear mongering, and selective truth, just like the KKK would do to justify non-white bigotry.

    Actually, no it's not. What it does do is give whites and men a reason to hate and withdraw from a society that now openly demonizes them. It gives them legitimate justifications for hatred towards the 'protected' classes. Newspeak 'diversity' is actually divisive. Wow, what a shock..

    If you're going for equity in society where attributes like race and gender don't force citizens down certain tracks, rocking the boat and forcing it to keel to one side with a bunch of fallacious generalizations is not what should be done. Yet, this is the foundation of all 'diversity' policy in the law and in education curricula.

    Yeah, because white males aren't human right? They can't be made to feel ostracized by all that negative reenforcement delivered by teachers and a culture that have been told over and over again that white men were so evil, right? This narrative is the most prominent form of bigotry in force today, far outclassing any remaining racism and sexism at non whites and women. Why? Because it's become institutionalized and promoted as 'diversity training.'

    Fuck that hypocrisy and the self-serving politicians and businesses it benefits.

    Of course, just like the answer to what some call 'reverse' racism/sexism et al is more of the activism that caused it in the first place.. Cultural marxism requires one to compartmentalize his thinking, shifting his context every time the narrative appears to conflict with itself or reality. When a conflict occurs, it is the duty of the citizen to accept the inconsistency as faulty thinking on his part rather than a problem with the narrative.

    Of course, because the left wing decides the curriculum in the first place, so 'offending' books are never purchased to begin with! School libraries were cleared of unPC, 'offending' material decades ago. Both parties do it, and both are wrong, but don't kid yourself that it's only one.

    Uh not quite. The neocons want to push the bible as their narrative. They haven't been successful because of liberal backlash..and the liberals want to push their own narratives and have done so, largely because the schools are government funded to begin with. Censoring reality so that it appears to align with ideology is the definition of politically correct.

    These socialists and fascists are so myopically focused, now, that 'liberty and justice FOR ALL' escapes them. They want privileges for select groups instead. They need to be voted out of office.

    More likely it's a liberal who wants it banned because it has the word 'nigger' in it. The liberals control the schools these days, despite the neocons' attempts to do the same. Both have narratives they want youth to accept as truth. Both are full of shit.

    because they wish to use the government to force their irrationality on the rest of us.. or in some cases, they wish to do so with acts of violence (9/11 comes to mind).

    However, yes, schools are indoctrination centers.. The left pushes political propaganda as science, and the neocons want to push religion as science. Fuck them both.

    No, in the states, people who complain about education are usually referring to the political indoctrination that goes on, both in public school and in universities. Basically, it's the same argument: they're teaching political propaganda as sound science.

    Screw the neo-cons and their religious bullshit, and screw the liberals for their socialist bullshit. They're both corrupting school's ability to teach people how to think by telling students what to think.

    Yeah, if you believe the 'god-of-the-gaps' nonsense. It's a crutch for those who aren't quite ready to let go of mythology. Also, how are the rest of us supposed to know when the scientist's beliefs conflict with evidence, and he 'compromises'? Oh right, we get scientology.

    I enjoy science fiction, but that doesn't mean it should be taught as fact and truth.

    Complexity does not prove intelligence by itself. You are assuming the universe is intelligent because it exists and is complex when the cause->effect should be a hypothesis: The universe is complex, is there proof of intelligence? ..or is the universe truly complex? Frankly we don't have sufficient frames of reference to answer even that question accurately.

    My only experience with freebsd was an ancient version 2.2.6, which I ran before switching to linux (I think to run a quake server). Obviously things have changed a lot since then. It ran well from what I remember, but it had very limited support for linux binaries as I couldn't get it to run the server, even with compat-linux installed.
