It's just a coincidence that X was written in the same programming language as the Kernel. Had X been coded in, say, Java, would you still expect Kernel developers to be able to program it?
No, I get pissed off about it in every one of the occasions you mention. I may not post about it, but it doesn't mean I wasn't irritated by it.
Do I have a better name for the whole thing? No, but it's not my place to come up with one.
As far as the "preciousssss" comment... I'm not really attached to Linux in general. I'm quite happy in BSD. About the only thing I'm set about is that I strongly "dislike" Microsoft, and don't really care for/about Apple's products.
The kernel already supports direct access to video cards with DRI. It's up to the X.org / X11 folks to get the "language" the card speaks right and talk to it through DRI.
These guys might be able to write a kernel in their sleep, but completely unfamiliar with the layout, architecture, nuances, and conventions used in the X system.
Well, the issue here is that what "everyone else" thinks is wrong. LINUX IS THE KERNEL. Period. End of story.
Writing code for a kernel takes a completely different skill set than required for writing printer drivers, etc.
Notably, libusb supports reading and writing arbitrary data to arbitrary USB devices. If libusb can see it, no [i]kernel[/i] driver is needed, that would be duplicated (wasted) time, effort, and resources.
I see no reason they can't have multi-axis accelerometers (and have intuitive ways to display such data), or have microphones that allow you to hear the engine pitch.
Simple math has a better track record than Radar Guns.
He was at point A at time A', point B at time B'. Using that, you can figure the average speed between those intervals. If these intervals are updated every 5 seconds or so, and all neighboring intervals show about 45 mph...
I just tried Wine. Couldn't even run Steam at the time. (this was less than a week ago with the 'released' version).
No fonts, all blank windows... this is after I copied my whole c:\windows\fonts directory contents from windows into wine (which has solved such issues before)
Hmm that is a good question, one that I can't answer. The better solution is to run an X server exported as VNC rather to physical devices. I know suse's SaXII sets up VNC as an alternative display, keyboard, and mouse, and it would be easy to take that configuration and remove the physical devices.

ramp up the scale, skipping frequencies that would trash the blood.
Er, or a link that is actually working and hasn't been obsoleted.

I certainly hope they have fixed that since.

I know my company has been quite busy lately making sure the equipment we are selling is compliant.
Ah, there's your problem. The trojan is logging the keylogger, which is logging the other trojan.
Fixed it for you, needed a third trojan to glue it all together.
They should be fairly durable, at least at rest. From the sound of it, it would be just like solid state in terms of hardiness (insanely good)
Speed... might be an issue... we will see.
I'll be honest. I don't like Microsoft as a company, and I don't like their products.
I don't care what features or enhancements Vista receives, I will NOT use it (unless forced) simply because of who created it.
You know, those are really good points that one usually doesn't see flying around here...
Morons. Should have kept the cure... why would you toss out the only good to come of it?
er, oh...
I stand corrected.
IceWM, Fluxbox, Blackbox.
There are other options.
(Not that XFCE is bad, I like it)
Well, if someone goes around saying they service Xerox machines, that doesn't mean they service all copy machines right?
Sometimes the popular name for something simply doesn't matter, and this is one of those cases.
Oh, and for the sake of argument:

Too bad that is not a kernel issue.

Thanks, but your "goons" try to break my kneecaps I will gut them. Thank you and step off my property.
No need, http://www.ga-asi.com/products/mariner.php
The same company has something specifically for maritime surveillance.

Damn, and only $100! (and I think thats Canadian dollars)
That is one hell of a price for something with all the shackles broken off!
(I know what I'm buying when I finally get a dvd player (i use my desktop currently))
Thanks!!!!
Ah, but it will ask first. Click "start a new session" and there you go.

then use a standard HTML anchor tag with the HREF attribute set.
