Xine does not play encrypted DVD's legally. It can play unencrypted DVD's legally, however in order to play encrypted DVD's you must use DeCSS, which might I add is an illegal thing to use in the United States.

That is subject to debate. Xine does not use DeCSS. Xine uses libdvdcss.
Check out shaolinuxtemple.
Libdvdcss has not (yet) been ruled illegal.

A standard Lib, Devel, and API set should be included with each version of the linux kernel so each that each distro has the same basic libs Devels and APIs this way if you make an RPM that needs anything that is not on the list of the latest set of Standards, you include it in your RPM (standard set includes libssl9.2 but your Binary needs libssl1.5 you include libssl1.5 in your RPM) , and TADA no dependancy hell.

All lower levels are unix based.
They just made a mess of it.

No... it ISN'T.
BeOS has some POSIX compliance, but it was built new from the ground up. Be OS has a whole hella lot more in common with Mac OS 9 than it does any of the UNIX clones.
It might use a UNIXesque kernel,
I don't have time to finish this. I win

from the book "The BeOS Bible"
quote: Unix is an operating system, and BeOS is an operating system, but BeOS is not a Unix-based operating system. BeOS is, however, POSIX-compliant, just like Unix. That means that BeOS has built into it a core set of command structures that are agreed upon by international committee as a standard to provide a degree of interoperability between disparate operating systems. What this means to users is that if they've used one POSIX-compliant operating system, they can probably use another without much difficulty (at least the command-line part). It also means that programs can be ported from one platform to the other with minimal changes.
