They want to partner with hardware vendors. That was always the goal. They never wanted to be in the business of selling a secondary OS that a small number of power users install themselves.
That doesn't sound right. Mutter doesn't do that. What does do something like that is ssh. Are you running your X11 remote over ssh? If so that's an ssh configuration issue.
I wouldn't consider E17 a modern GUI. Its a window manager with some cool features. Great choice for Tizen. Not a great choice for higher end hardware. As far as users that want functionality but don't like Gnome3 try Cinnamon. As far as remote windows and Gnome3 that doesn't sound like a Gnome issue.
My point to gp was his complaints were about Aqua not about OSX. That being said I think running quartz-wm on top of Aqua to get X11 functionality is fine for desktop and give up on the advantages of Linux GUIs since there are more Aqua advantages.
And why would you need to run Gnome 3 or any other rich desktop for a virtual machine that's so limited you don't bother to give it 3D acceleration nor lots of clock cycles?
Though I'd recommend if you intend to intermix X11 and Aqua applications you let Aqua via. quartz-x11 manage X11 applications rather than have the X11 window manager try and provide services to Aqua applications. If you use an X11 window manager the Aqua application will be oblivious to the desktop and you can end up with parts of the visual screen not corresponding to the functional screen.
You are forgetting that Linux has always ridden on the back of x86 hardware. The Windows 8 hardware has input interfaces that are a tablet / traditional mix.
OSX runs on top of a BSD called Darwin. Linux I think is a better Unix than Darwin but Darwin is a pretty good Unix. Getting Unix stuff up on OSX is is nothing like trying to get stuff to work on Windows. The vast majority of software is installed out of the box with "port install xyz"
Gnome 1.x was rather low functionality compared to KDE. And if you wanted functionality KDE was then and is today the more obvious choice. It makes sense for the desktop environments to fork and Gnome to go in a different way with different objectives. KDE was going to be a traditional Unix GUI but better, while Gnome 2 was going to become more like GDI / Aqua. Gnome 3 is and was moving in the direction of supporting new hardware, the same way Windows 8 is.
NJ they have lots of polling places. Sample ballots are mailed out a week or two ahead of time. The voter lists are well maintained and the machines work well.
I was in Wegmen's a sort of mid to high range supermarket that opened a few back rooms for tables and food. Everyone I was was eating their premade food. So assume 400 people x 3 covers / 8hrs x 2 shifts x 3 days x $11 profits per meal ~ $80k in extra profits.
Not bad and a more importantly a humanitarian gesture that builds goodwill.
If a city or town wants to provide free calling in emergencies, that's easy enough to do. Just open up places with calling. The real issue is do we as a society want to maintain the POTS infrastructure or let the system collapse and move towards internet and cell only. That's both more expensive and a crucial prerequisite.
Every amendment makes that distinction. The whole constitution is about rights guaranteed to Americans within America. None of the laws of the United States including contract rights apply abroad.
Just because unconstitutional activities are allowed today
If by unconstitutional you mean the constitution as understood by its authors, as interpreted by the courts and as applied in US law then no those things are not unconstitutional. Seizure laws for crime have been part of US law since colonial times. The constitution itself affirms that a person can be deprived of property via. due process of law. All drug seizures are challengeable in court.
You may not like the federal crime control acts but that does not make them unconstitutional.
Fourth and Eight Amendements don't apply outside the united states. Also under current law criminal proceeds are not protected. The government can seize the profits from drug dealing today.

I agree they also don't need a fully desktop GUI. So they don't need Gnome 3 which means the whole thing isn't relevant.
That doesn't sound right. Mutter doesn't do that. What does do something like that is ssh. Are you running your X11 remote over ssh? If so that's an ssh configuration issue.
I tend to run computers until they break down.
Then you aren't interesting to hardware vendors.

Which isn't an answer. Why not just remote the app and not the whole desktop from a small VM?
Netbooks shouldn't be running a modern GUI, they don't have enough horsepower. Moreover the niche for netbooks is mostly being filled with:
a) Ultrabooks which do have GPUs
b) tablets which have GPUs
ot 64 CPUs and 256GB of RAM but only crappy 2000era Matrox graphics
Not a problem on a machine like that you just emulate the GPU in CPU.
As for the low power machine. The fallback is run Gnome 2; LXDE... or if you have to run Gnome 3 emulate a GPU and chew up a lot of CPU.
And why would you need to run Gnome 3 or any other rich desktop for a virtual machine that's so limited you don't bother to give it 3D acceleration nor lots of clock cycles?
Yes. OSX applications and documents are openable from the command line which creates an interface for X11: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/open.1.html

I'd agree with you. And while this is a Gnome thread particularly if you start comparing desktops other than Gnome.
That being said you really should be saying "Aqua" here not "OSX". OSX can run a LInux window manager.
Will they fork, or will they stick with the dippy new interface?
They already did fork. Mate is a continuation of Gnome 2 and Cinnamon is sort of a Gnome 2 / Gnome 3 cross.
They long ago decided to switch their user base when they started Gnome 2.

Why is that moded insightful? In 2012 you don't have a GPU?

I used that during Sandy and it worked wonderfully so I can attest to working in practice.

We are talking about tax evasion. They aren't keeping their own earnings, they are keeping the assets which rightfully belong to governments.

Well if you consider piracy an analogous situation to what we face with corporation, then there is a precedent. Otherwise, you'd vote against it.
