But such a requirement is a niche and not the use case of 95% of users and as the other poster adds is easily accomodated by running a specialed X server on top of wayland.
is to provide display management for linux devices that generally do not require network transparancy such as phones and tablets and which are resource constrained so the bloat of a full xorg stack is unacceptible. Clearly Ubuntu which has designs on becoming the tablet king is embracing this - Fedora also has an interest because it is the basis of the olpc, raspberry pi and other lightweight device spins. The obvious simple way to support network transparency is to run an X server as a Wayland app and this works fine so backward compatibility is easy to provide in fact Gnome is adding westin support into mutter so apps will use wayland if available and X if not. Going forward adding network transparency nativly to wayland is a fairly trivial and can be implemented more efficiently than X - according to the developers.
So: Plusses: smaller leaner and simpler code base, backward compatibility for legacy X apps, possibilty of network transparency not based on what was state of the art 30 years ago. Tight integration into linux. Minuses: linux only (possibly), some pain in the transition possible while support is added to distros. Developers currently focussed on solving specific problems for Tizen.
No one at Fukushima has received a radiation dose that require treatment for radiation sickness let alone received a fatal dose. Two workers received a dose that exceeded their yearly dose limit and were removed from the site. Perhaps you are getting this situation confused with Chernobyl.
I guess no Essex University topic would be complete with out mention of Archipelago a Circle 2.2 derived MUD which I ran at Essex for three years from '93-'96.
Hmm No. If you read the pdf they seem to be refering to the Earth-Moon Lagrange points. The Earth-Sun ones would be rather too distant to provide much of a base for weapons or refueling form moon missions.
Lagrange points are the local gravitational minima where the gravitational fields of the earth and moon cancel. L1,2 and 3 are unstable L4 and 5 are potentially stable.

Too bad he is confused about the reason for warming the teapot. it has nothing to do with making sure the water does not cool too quickly. It is an archaic practise that arose because originally Europeans did not know how to make hard paste porcelain, all european tea services were made of soft paste porcelain which could crack if you poured boiling water on to it. Over the years it has become the subject of myth and superstition. Incidentally, the same reason is behind why many people insist you have to put the milk in the tea cup before the tea. Nothing to do with the taste of the tea everything to do with preserving delicate porcelain cups.
As has been noted here Nautilus does have single click activation as a configurable option. What annoys me is that this behaviour is not globally set in Ximian gnome. It is annoying to have single click enabled in nautilus and then go to the control-center and have to double click on itmes to launch.
The background of Newport News is unique, complex and colorful.
Origins of the city's name are uncertain, but references to its existence are found as early as 1619. The name may commemorate English mariner Capt.Christopher Newport who made five voyages to Virginia between 1607 and 1619. Capt. Newport was among the most important men connected with the permanent settling of Virginia, having been "in sole charge and command" of the small squadron of three ships making the historic voyage which landed at Jamestown in 1607.
One popular explanation of the city's name holds that when the first Jamestown colonists set out to return to England after the Starving Time of 1610, they encountered Captain Christopher Newport's ship in the James River off Mulberry Island (now Fort Eustis). From Capt. Newport, they learned it was not necessary to abandon Jamestown, as reinforcements of men and supplies had arrived - thus the city was named for "Newport's good news."
Numerous early documents and maps verify the city's name was formerly recorded as "Newport's News" and "Newportes News." The change to "Newport News" may have resulted from language usage. In 1851 "New Port News" was sanctioned as the name of the first post office by the Post Office Department, and in 1866 the department approved the name as "Newport News." No matter how the city came by its name, seafarers played an integral role in founding Newport News, which began as a fishing village and is now among the finest natural harbors in the world.

Wrong. Evolution is a fact substantiated by overwhelming evidence from the fossil record, field studies (Darwin etc) and laboritory observation. Scientists disagree on the exact mechanism governing evolution, but no credible scientist disagrees that evolution has and does occur. Also a fact, Creationism or so called Creation Science is a pseudo science based on Christian dogma. Yes I have researched their arguments. They are all flawed, I have considered writing a book debunking creationist claims (some are pretty amusingly wrong headed - especially the ones pertaining to determining the age of the earth) but those who choose to believe in creationism are not open to rational debate and the rest don't need to be persuaded, so why waste my time.
Years ago a science fiction author called Bob Shaw had a book predicated on a material called slow glass. Basically it took light years to travel through the medium, so you took a piece of glass set it somewhere scenic for a year or two and then hung it on your wall and enjoyed the view for the same couple of years. A few more orders of magnitude and we will be there..

In principle true, except no system is perfect and you will still get high amplitude spikes and beat frequencies.
Maybe you meant to say RAID 4 but what you typed was RAID 0

Xbox so far has been a big bust for Microsoft, a black hole for them to pour money.

A theorem is a theorem until proven then it is an axiom
A theory is true until disproven.
