He was asking for X libraries, not an X server. He's covered. No non-embedded distro will ship without such.

In X-land, the server is what talks to your display device on behalf of your other programs. The server manages the scarce resource. The clients bribe the server for access.

More to the point (for me) is a screen that doesn't burn my eyes when I read in bed in preparation for sleep. Matte helps for that too, of course.

Why hasn't pixel qi taken over the lcd display market? I want big ones for coding (desktop) and little ones for phone and medium ones for tablets and laptops.

Please?

It's a bit cobbled together, but it works for me.

Hurray, they finally understand that their claims aren't falsifiable. Unfortunately, they still miss the point.

So in other words, black hat law enforcement hackers have known about the vulnerability and have been exploiting it for some time?

Given that law enforcement is by and large a State actor with the requisite influence, are we sure these aren't purposeful back doors?

In other news, studies suggest that some children are more suggestible than others. This correlates with, among other variables, the degree of parental involvement in rearing the child.

What say we focus on identifying at risk children and make sure their parents have the tools to handle this special case?

I didn't say it was a smart long-term.

Look! piracy! They outcompete us. Force upon them cruel laws.

Hark! we are having competition at home. Look, they over there have cruel laws and do not stress us with competition. You there, impose cruel laws here at home.

The point is to generate high piracy rates, in order to generate the PR necessary to give pet legislators an excuse to do their "friends" a favor by passing yet more draconian legislation, allowing heavier and heavier locks, they hope defeating fair-use activities such as time shifting, format shifting and unlicensed commentary.

The organizations crying over the exploding piracy figures know full well the real score.

excellent point

Yes, for at least one person. I've been living happily without iconifying/hiding/minimizing windows for about 15 years now. I've been using the fvwm pager as workspaces. Works great.

While I'm at it, I'd like to note that getting rid of title bars works great too. Window movement, sizing etc works great using keyboard modifiers with mouse gestures. That's the way your god and uwm intended it.

Strictly speaking, workspaces aren't needed either. Before fvwm, I used vtwm. One big workspace with blindingly fast scrolling, even on crappy hardware with the complete lack of acceleration so prevalent back in the day. That said, I prefer pager-style workspaces. Best of both worlds.

Along with the various ways it can be abused against citizens directly, there's the slow lobster-cook method of stripping away rights. Recall the old "First they came" statement. In addition to the direct effects on citizens, it is an excuse to further consolidate power into a national government. Thus the actions by those states that are paying attention, to hopefully prevent their rights from being further eroded.

DNA-based IDs -- the better with which to discriminate against the growing population of non-biological sentients.

Please watch the movie Zardoz before pursuing this further.
