    Since Napster and Kazaa eventually go down because they aid in such horrible, criminal activities. Why don't we all make one large windows/samba workgroup. Then we can sit back and watch M$ get sued.

    It's really quite simple

    1) Make workgroup
    2) ???
    3) no more M$

    I wasn't alive in the 70's and had no idea wtf X10 was so I went on everything2.com and typed X10.

    Guess what I got!

    X10 is the version of the X Window System or X preceding X11. X10, like X11, was an advanced protocol for graphical display and manipulation. It lacked many of the features and much of the power of X11.

    Damn, I know thats not what I was looking for since you basically implied that I was stupid if I thougt X10 was a windowing system.

    everything2 also had some stuff on X-10, which is different than X10:

    A modular system used to provide inexpensive home automation. Individual modules are plugged into an electrical outlet, a device such as a lava lamp or a toaster is plugged into the module, an identifying code is set and you now have complete, remote control (well, you can turn it on and off) of the device. The system is especially cool when connected to your computer. See www.x10.com for more information.

    Can I be a geek now?
