If this were RHEL or another distro that markets itself as stable and consistent, yes, it would be silly. Fedora, however, is quite antithetical to those distros.
Wayland is ultimately what they want to switch to. So if it's usable by a sufficient percentage of people, it would be silly not to do this in Fedora. This will bring more testing and bug reporting. It will also cause some of the unknown/edge use cases to bubble to the top so that they can be addressed before Wayland eventually makes it's way into RHEL.
I think the news is what's not mentioned in the headline or summary. In this release, Wayland is now preferred over X.org. I believe that will make F25 the first major distro release to make the switch?
There are lots of crimes with no punishments. This is one of them.
This needs to be noted VERY well in this discussion.
Typically, just mishandling classified information (without intentionally handing it off to others) is handled with an administrative slap on the wrist, and maybe losing clearance. There are rarely any criminal proceedings, because the higher-ups never want a subordinate to fear revealing a data spill. Instead, self-policing and self-reporting are praised, and mistakes are often just cleaned up and forgotten.
It should also be noted that there's no telling what was in the "classified" information. I put classified in quotes because I once had a government security clearance. I can tell you that they typically error on the side of better safe than sorry. i.e. A lot of stuff gets tagged as classified/secret that probably doesn't need to be.
I have doubts as to whether or not she really put any truly sensitive information in jeopardy. If they found that she had, I'm guessing that she probably would be facing charges.
Who says you even have to [*gasp*] train them? A good developer should be able to pick up a book, read web site documentation, etc. and train themselves. i.e. If you hire a good PHP developer, they should be able to quickly learn Ruby on Rails or whatnot and become productive using that too.
That developer might even [*gasp*] have a desire to learn a new platform s/he hasn't had an opportunity to work with. If the developer is excited about it, there's a good chance they are going to pick it up quickly and stay around longer. Bonus...
The big theater chains should stop whining like spoiled brats.. These folks do a hell of a job --> http://www.drafthouse.com/ [Alamo Draft House]
The big chains should be more like this local chain. They are based in Austin, TX and they are growing like a wildfire. Their business model provides higher profit margins than traditoinal movie theatres. And if memory serves me right, they are planning on expanding to other states.
In Austin, when people want to see a movie, they look to see when/if it's at the Draft House. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie anywhere else. I gaurantee the Draft House folks aren't bitching about early DVD releases.
I'd still go see a lot of movies at the Draft House even if they were out on DVD at the same time. Hell, they show a lot of older movies that are already available for home viewing. I've seen movies there when I would normally wait for the DVD release.
What's so great about it?
No commercials before the movie begins. Instead, they show cool retro film clips, movie previews, and whatnot.
You can order dinner while you watch the movie. They have a full menu including alcoholic beverages. i.e. It's not just popcorn and junk food
They have cool events and whatnot associated with the movies. Ex: When that crappy Ben Stiller movie "Dodgeball" was out, they jazzed it up and actually had dodgeball matches in the parking lot after the movie. Ex2: They had chocolate fountains running with free treats for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Ex3: They do funky/funny things like "Videoke". Etc...
And I'm sure I failed to mention some other intangibles I haven't thought of at the moment.
So I'm actually on the movie studios side for once. They should give the big theaters the big finger. And Regal Entertainment and the like should put up or shut up..

Just after Google's announcement, AT&T made an announcement that it will bring a gigabit network to ATX: https://www.google.com/search?q=at%26t+gigabit+austin&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a
