Actually, that sounds pretty smart to me.

This needs addressing. You say "just about every culture", are you sure you don't mean "individuals" or do you actually believe it is within the core components of every culture to dismiss all others as foolish?

According to Wikipedia, Thomas Edison used the term "bug" with the same meaning in 1878. [1]

The term "bug" predated this instance as well as digital computers by a large margin.

I'd agree with you, but for a while I was that 24 year old. A massive "news" system has been constructed to only present Republicans as never wrong. Government corruption and is always "their" problem (with the Democrats being "they"), so much so that when a prominent Republican does ill and gets caught, they'll put a (D) after his name in the news blurb. Figures and charts are constructed that are completely misleading and do not match the data they're trying to represent.

It no longer takes much self-deluding to remain within this sphere of ignorance, and many choose to never venture beyond the safety of it. Khanna messed up, he walked beyond the message and developed a real solution to a real problem, but it isn't one that benefits those who have architected the sphere and has put himself at odds with them. With any luck he'll be able to see it for what it is.

They kind of balance each other out.

What do you want? The US to come in and kill everyone involved? Would that make you happy?

This only means that your friends sucked or found you to be untrustworthy. Porn was definitely easy to access and one's possession of it was of value to the group, but it was a physical contraband back then. The medium has changed, that's all.

What are you talking about? You're declaring quite confidently of their motive, but I see no evidence that is the reason. Where is your confidence coming from? If these are regulations, which ones? Can you further cite where Lenovo would have to prevent modifications to an existing system, beyond merely getting licensing on the system they're bringing to market?

Do you have actual evidence of this or are you making up a rationalization?

THANK YOU! I wish more people knew that Congress decided to make demands on the USPS that no company could ever meet. And to think that the Republicans frequently politic on "running the government like a business" yet they make actions to ensure the government business fails.

The scientists don't trust the bureaucrats, they ask for assistance. What's the alternative?

Those are great solutions, but they're already been implemented. X already has server-side (where the display is) pixbuf caches, and the network may turn on compression.

You say things like True Type Fonts and anti-aliased lines are eye candy? I sit a console constantly day in and day out, these things make the experience far better than it would be with simple X primitives.

New GUI concepts are constantly being developed. The system you want to create would be similar to taking Motif and making that the network protocol. As soon as some new widget is created and gains popularity, you're either stuck in the same situation you are now, or constantly revising the protocol to account for every new class of widgets.
To address your other concerns: Have you ever used VNC or RDP on a headless remote? It works just fine.
