I think if that was the plan, then you should still get "official Microsoft gadgets" from the Microsoft "app store". But apparently they have been removed from there.
I don't use Windows so I really don't know what is going on, but this does sound mysterious. I mean it is pretty much a "duh" insight that running untrusted software as admin is a problem, and they did not remove *all* software. So this either means an insidious plot of some sort to get rid of gadgets because they don't fit into future marketing, or the rather uncomfortable idea that there is a bug/misfeature such that gadgets actually are more dangerous than normal applications.
You are going to get flooded with idiots who will say "no". That is wrong.
When you run the program, the environment will be different and this will change the code in the library that talks to wayland so that it sends the window images (compressed) over the network to a client on your local machine, which will then tell the local wayland server to display them.
This is EXACTLY how X works. When you run "ssh -X" the ONLY thing it does is set $DISPLAY to a different value. The xlib library knows how to interpret this environment variable and send all the communication back to the x server on your local machine. About the only difference is that instead of a thread in the x server, it is likely a different process for the wayland server. You should realize there is no magic, there is a huge block of code in that xlib library RUNNING ON YOUR REMOTE MACHINE. Same with wayland.
In addition wayland should be much much much faster for any modern program (such as your OpenGL example) that wants to render an image and then display it. Any program using antialiased fonts is pretty much going to require less communication to send an image of the window over the network than to send the data it needs to get a remote drawing. People really use VNC and virtual gl because it is faster than remote X.
I think you are confusing what will be done by the widget toolkits. They will draw the window borders (just like the draw the buttons and scrollbars and text fields and a hundred other things that are MUCH harder than window borders).
Remoting will be done by a remoting wayland server. It will send the window images over the network to a remote display.
The laws should be so that the marriage (or civil union) of more than 2 do not give them any monetary advantage over 2-person marriages. For instance if 4 people "marry" the resulting tax and property ownership advantages should be no better than the worst possible result of any of the 3 possible pairs of marriages they could be in. The idea is to remove any financial advantages of this, even though there is financial advantages of 2 people marrying verses them staying apart.
They might get some non-monetary advantages, such as all having visitation rights to each other. However a hospital could limit the number of visitors just like they do now. So if 100 people get married it does not mean that a hospital has to allow 99 at the same time in to visit a sick one.
Oddly enough all the _s crap seems to be driven by Microsoft. They proposed them, then modified their compiler to complain if you did not use them and instead used strcpy, etc. This includes functions such as snprintf which are *identical* to the _s versions, and a "safe" version of fopen that only checks if the FILE* argument is non-null (WtF?). For some reason no WIN32 api that could overflow buffers got a "_s" version and there was no warning for using them! The purpose appeared to be to piss off programmers and perhaps to discourage writing of portable software (though the warning was easily turned off).
As you point out, there have been a million replacements for gets. The original K&R book had getline() which took the buffer length and was safe. All of them had more intelligent names and more useful behavior on overflow than gets_s.
For strings there has been strlcpy and strlcat for years. Though the refusal to adopt these show the Glib maintainers have equaled Microsoft in their ability to be asses.
Just because you can compute transparency does not mean you should use it.
IMHO this is looking infinitely better, the first time they have improved over the "Classic" appearance. Clean is much better.
The title bars and resize edges are really thick however. And they seem to be cluttering the titlebar with icons. Not sure what the colored text that seems to be attached to the "ribbon" tabs is either, it would seem better to move the ribbon tabs and menu bar up into the titlebar.
It clearly states right above a pie chart "Hospital care and physician/clinical services combined account for half (51%) of the nation’s health expenditures". I can't find out what percentage of that is ER care but certainly that is the largest slice.
An all-powerful god could have designed a universe where evolution and random selection would end up with an exact predicted result. Bible claims god made man "in his image" so maybe god really wanted a being that (in 3D space) had bilateral symmetry with 4 limbs and an head, perhaps because god has some defined volume that makes this shape when it intersects a 3D space (?). A bit of design of the universe and forces could make bilateral symmetry have much greater survival rates. An all-powerful god could have designed the universe with elaborate tweaks so that evolution led to a very precise design.
Creationists are pretty funny, because they are basically claiming god is not all-powerful.
35800 employees in 40000 square meters means 1.117 square meters per employee. Assuming they are arranged in a square pattern then the distance between employes is 1.06 meters. This is in both directions, ie if they are arranged along production lines then they can be 1.06 meters apart along the line, but also there is somebody facing the other side of the production line 1.06 meters away in front of you, and somebody facing the line behind you 1.06 meters behind you.
You changed the "EEEEVILILL EPA CRASHED THE SHUTTLE!!!!" rant. There was plenty of articles saying "oh because they could not use Freon the foam was weaker!". Actually NASA was well aware of foam breaking off and ran tests on the new formula (by flying samples on the wings of jets) and it appeared to flake off less. So I thought it pretty hilarious that you changed it to "the old foam was safer because it broke up better". It also does not help the rant that the piece that fell off was not sprayed on, but instead a glued-on "bipod ramp" that was cast out of the *old* foam! It was glued to the metal structure.This same piece had been observed to fall off before.
NASA did screw up in lots of ways, but you damage your credibility by stating urban legends as facts.
It's really cute how you changed the story once you learned that tests showed the newer foam had better adhesion than the old one. Used to be that you claimed the foam fell off because of the new non-CFC formula. Now you say "the original foam being used would have broken up" which I guess is about the best you can do to somehow claim foam that falls off less is more harmful.
If it took $100 million to develop the idea, then there are complicated bits that cannot be duplicated easily. The purpose of the patent is to force them to reveal these details. Without patents they can obscure it (ie closed source or other black boxes) and rely on trade secret law for legal enforcement of their ability to profit from their invention.
If they spent $100 million on something that can be duplicated by somebody for free by just observing it, then they are idiots and deserve to go out of business.
Actually I installed a number of cheap ones and they have kept working for years so far, have not replaced a single one.
One appeared to fail because it was installed in a facing-down socket, but putting it in a sideways fixture revealed the bulb still worked in that orientation.
I usually type "Ubuntu" + "12.04" along with keywords describing my problem, and that works really well.
A huge pain is that I can never remember what version of Ubuntu I have. I always have to pick "about Ubuntu" off the menu and wait for the help browser (much slower than firefox or Chrome) to come up, just to get this simple information. It would be really nice if it was in/etc/motd or in uname somewhere.
From the article it does not sound like they took the costs into consideration at all. They were comparing yield for area planted. Amount of money spent was not part of the comparison.

So women older than 42 or so are not allowed to marry?

X applications are already running on Wayland now. It's an X server called xwayland.

Sorry I meant Gnome 3, not Unity.
The UI looks like Motorola Motoblur, which I got on the phone I have, and is generally disliked.
Now it may be completely different, but the visual impression is going to remind people of bad experiences with motoblur.
This seems to be normal overlapping windows. I was under the impression that "Metro" was a Unity-like single app desktop.

I'm confused where you see ER care in the referenced document http://www.kaiseredu.org/issue-modules/us-health-care-costs/background-brief.aspx
It clearly states right above a pie chart "Hospital care and physician/clinical services combined account for half (51%) of the nation’s health expenditures". I can't find out what percentage of that is ER care but certainly that is the largest slice.
I think the gp was making a joke, using the same wording that creationists do.

So you use a similar argument that the minister who believes that all gays should be jailed, because they are mentally ill? Nice....
I have absolutely *no* idea what the above sentence is trying to say! You are not helping your cause here!
