  What is Mac OS X?
While thinking over what to say to those folks, most (if not all) of whom are strangers to Mac OS X, I decided to write a supplementary document that they could refer to at their leisure.
Since I moved to Mac OS X, I have had a few discussions with people who are curious about Apple and Mac OS X, but have not used the platform.
Although I do express some opinions on Mac OS X vs. Linux, etc. in the closing section, the overall discussion is almost exclusively on Mac OS X. The reader could use the information herein to compare Mac OS X with other systems.

 X Article - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The X Article, formally titled "The Sources of Soviet Conduct", was published in Foreign Affairs in July 1947.
Though signed pseudonymously by "X," it was well known at the time that the true author was George F. Kennan, the deputy chief of mission of the United States to the USSR from 1944 to 1946, under ambassador W.
The article was an expansion of a well-circulated State Department cable called the Long Telegram and became famous for setting forth the doctrine of containment.

 Malcolm X - MSN Encarta
Malcolm X also had come to reject some of the tenets of the Nation of Islam, including Elijah Muhammad’s theory that the white race was created by a dissident “mad scientist” named Yakub.
In 1963 Elijah Muhammad silenced Malcolm X for his statement that the assassination of U.S. president John F. Kennedy had represented “the chickens coming home to roost”—a repayment for America’s continuing failure to end racial cruelty and hatred.
In 1964, shortly after his break with Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X made a pilgrimage to Mecca, the holy Muslim city in Saudi Arabia that was the birthplace of the founder of Islam.

 The Arrival of NX, Part 2 | Linux Journal
Although communication between the X client and X server running on the same machine is handled by way of UNIX domain sockets, the exact same communication between a local X client and a remote X server is done over network--TCP and/or UDP--sockets.
X applications have usually been developed in a high-bandwidth/low-latency environment, either entirely within a single machine or perhaps over a local area network.
For X the advantage is clear: the strength of X is its network transparency but as you've written, this strength is running into trouble due to modern toolkit/developpers.

 Generation X defies definition
For practical purposes we will say that Generation X was born between 1965 and 1980, now ranging in age from 17-32 and usually judged by characteristics assigned to them by the media.
"Generation X grew up in the 'me generation' of the 1980s, and now they are able to see that it is not all it is cracked up to be," said Jackie Shelton, 31, vice president of Minor Advertising in Reno.
The media found elements of Coupland's characters' lives in America's youth and labeled them Generation X. This stereotypical definition leads society to believe that Generation X is made up of cynical, hopeless, frustrated and unmotivated slackers who wear grunge clothing, listen to alternative music and still live at home because they cannot get real jobs.

 eMedicine - Factor X : Article by Christopher J Steen, MD
Factor X deficiency may arise because of reduced synthesis of the protein, which is known as type I deficiency state, or because of production of a dysfunctional molecule, which is known as type II deficiency state.
Factor X deficiency occurs in an estimated 8% of patients with amyloidosis (Furie, 1981; Choufani, 2001; Perez, 2004).
While acquired factor X deficiency may be eliminated by treating the underlying cause, the congenital form of the disease is lifelong and is among the most severe clotting factor disorders.

 FarShores.org Article: Planet X, and its Prophets
Lieder claims that Planet X has a mass something like 5 times the Earth's mass, which is more like a normal planet than a brown dwarf.
Therefore, Planet X does not exist, or else it has magical properties that make it both stable and unstable at the same time.
I think Planet X is a fine example of just how far some people are willing to go to try and fabricate a conspiracy, or if you prefer, get attention.

 PBS | I, Cringely . April 20, 2006 - Native Speaker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
For this reason alone, I'm guessing that the new OS X Kernel won't be backward compatible to PowerMacs.
Many people might argue, too, that OS X 10.4 (or 10.5) has many features slated to be coming in Vista, so running XP atop 10.4 could be as good or better than moving to Vista at all.
A souped-up OS X kernel with native Windows API support and the prospect of mixing and matching Windows and Mac applications would be, for many users, the best of both worlds.

It's hard not to draw the analogy that Singer plays a sneaker shod Professor X to his talented ensemble and postproduction team.

This hypothetical planet is referred to as Planet X, and the reasons for the conjecture are as follows.
Various attempts have been made, over the years, at predicting the size and orbit of a possible Planet X. Some astronomers have suggested that its mass would be that of three to five Earths and its orbit both highly elliptical and so distant that the planet would complete only one orbit in about 1,000 years.

See the article OpenGL Tools for Serious Graphics Development for a description of the OpenGL tools available on Mac OS X and how to use them to analyze and optimize graphics.
