While most won't mind a stray jaggie in say CoD4 on our PC, in a CAD design that could possibly mean 'Great job Bill!' vs 'Oh shit, your building fell over and crushed the preschoolers on a field trip.'
That's what stuff like finite element analysis is for, not CAD or graphics cards. Anyone doing this won't be worried about the jaggies since they'll be putting in the numbers by hand.
the Mail has, let's say, a certain reputation in the UK for its readership being most of Britain's jumpy, middle class, alarmist, conservative, "immigration is evil and all non-white immigrants should be castrated" type readers.
I'd think such a set of hooks would be extensive, but not necessarily complicated or contain anything worth keeping secret. Unless one is trying to move a scanning engine into kernel space... probably not a good idea, and wouldn't really give much of a real-world performance boost...
It already exists, it's called Dazuko. It's licensed under the GPL for the Linux kernel, and BSD license for FreeBSD. But the Linux kernel license makes it quite clear that making system calls from user space (essentially all kernel extensions like this just provide extra syscalls and ioctls) does not constitute a derivative work so far as the GPL is concerned. Otherwise any piece of proprietary software running on Linux would be necessarily screwed.
Yeah, um, I can't understand this. The USA resists things like a national health service — yet the Government is handing out coupons for digital set-top boxes?! Shurely shome mishtake. I mean, here in the UK we've got loads of the things going cheap (as low as £20 a shot), but no coupons... (I think it's like you said. Keep the hoards exposed to the fnords.)
That the GP got to "Score:5, Funny" says everything anyone ever need know about (a) the robustness of the Slashdot moderation system; and (b) the high level of abstraction inherent in the collective sense of humour of the Slashdot community (we've nigh-on perfected the art of meta-humour).
And as long as I can also get the odd "Score:5, Funny" with cheap puns and innuendo, I shall waste time here.

Try looking down the back of the sofa.
...with knobs on top.
Who cares? The GP's script was just three lines of comments, anyway.
No! Goddess!
...Hail Eris! All hail Discordia!...
Is this like one of 'em proxy wars? (No web-cache jokes, neither!)
Use them together.
Use them in peace.

And, seriously, why do we care?
Ooh, you greedy bastard, chewing out all the bad jokes before anyone else gets a chance.

I wondered why I was seeing so many fnords in my slumber.

Well that'll teach me to lob cheap puns and innuendo around on Slashdot.
Oh, fuck you and your pugnacious, belligerent top-level posts.
Oh, is this anything to do with that earlier RIPA all-your-keys-are-belong-to-us story?
And loose lips sync ships!
...and the PAAAIIIYYNNNNE! (Just don't forget to carry the correct digit this time.)
Yul be sorry.
