    The experiences are entirely difference unless you think in zero gravity your confined to a 2D plane unless you climb out or dive down? Perhaps you also think your vascular system somehow magically doesn't feel 1G any more?

    The insides of your body are still feeling the full 1G and your heart is still having to push blood against it - assuming you're vertical. There's a big difference.

    I guess you don't know about port 6000 then. Was open by default for years. I don't remember it being a major attack entry point.

    I guess you think you're suddenly in zero gravity in a swimming pool too?

    Seems you don't know the difference between bouancy and zero gravity. Never mind, you'll get a clue one day.

    "Which is not really newsworthy."

    Well it is actually. Various vested interests have been plying the X Windows is dead, Wayland is the way forward line for a few years now. For Ubuntu - a distro not exactly known for its conservatism and aversion to releasing bleeding edge sofware - to return to X as the default graphics system is a pretty obvious statement that Wayland is a long way from being ready for prime time.

    ... the Wayland devs kept telling us that no one cares about remoting with X which is why they hardly bothered to work on that side of it. Were they wrong?? Say it ain't so!

    Seriously? So you think if you have an issue with a corporation you should take it out on the ordinary people who work for it, have little no say in company decisions and probably earn 1/20th what the directors are on? You are fucking idiot.

    Then you beat the crap out of each other. Sorry, I know martial artists like to think their pugilism is somehow elevated above other physical activities, but at the end of the day its just fighting which is one of the dumbest activities humans do, especially if its out of choice.

    The days of spy satellites in low earth orbit may be numbered. Shooting down a plane a 2000+mph that has anti missile defenses and can do active avoidance may be somewhat harder.
