Which software depends on Wayland? I'm curious, because I can't think of any.
A backend-agnostic toolkit such as Qt will be an equal citizen on X11, Wayland, Mir, Win32, OS X, Android, Haiku. It should be possible to run the same binary on the same host selecting X11 or Wayland as a backend by loading the appropriate.so at runtime.
So at what point does such software 'depend' on Wayland? * When a vendor statically links a binary against Wayland? - complain to the vendor, you're paying for it. * When a remote machine doesn't include the X11 backend? - complain to the sysadmin * When the Wayland backend supports extra 'bling' ? add the eye-candy to the X11 backend
Let's not forget Spain only had that regime because of a rogue military that overthrew a democratically elected government little more socialist that its government of today - A battle in which France and Britain decided not to intervene in a civil dispute due to appeasement, while Hitler and Mussolini openly aided Franco in aerial bombings.
Nvidia ditching whatever embedded GPU Tegra has parallels with Intel dropping PowerVR for their latest Bay Trail Atom.
I wonder if this means the nouveau driver will be compatible with one's ARM tablet. If so, Canonical's convoluted architecture for Mir (embracing android blobs) might be shortlived - with lima, freedreno, nouveau, intel all targeting Xorg/Wayland - leaving PowerVR solutions as the odd one out.
Not when politics comes into the equation. The conservative opposition have been quite successful in spreading FUD in the minds of the electorate that every major policy initiative is part of a radical socialist agenda designed to bankrupt the country.
Deployment of a 'better service' will be scrapped in 6 months time with a change of government.
I thought Kim.com was going to personally pay for super-fast kiwi broadband, as long as the NZ government indemnified him against any mega-related charges?
Following a galaxy-wide financial crisis, Jar Jar Binks goes rogue, demanding the government honour his pension, holding Queen Leia and her consort Han Solo hostage on board a cargo ship. An ageing Luke Skywalker is recalled from Tattoine in pursuit of Binks, piloting a vintage last-millenium Falcon. This rust-bucket hasn't seen a mechanic in 30 years. A malfunction in the hyperdrive creates a temporal vortex. sending the ships of Binks and Skywalker back 60 years to when Obi Wan was still a young man.
The vortex dumps them in orbit of planet Naboo, where out of the cockpit Luke glimpses his parents Padme and Anakin undergoing a secret wedding. He fires on Jar Jar's ship, which bursts into flame and crashes into the lake retreat, thus killing Jar Jar, Padme and Anakin. Han and Leia are ejected into the lake shortly before impact.
C3PO and R2D2 are unscathed. Realising the paradox of accidentally killing his parents before conception, Luke exclaims "Nooooooooooooooooo!" immediately before he and Leia's existence is erased from history. Solo emerges from the lake alone.
And so any recollection of episodes 1-3 are instantaneously erased from the audience's memories thus creating a parallel timeline.
Say what? I'm not denying x86 spanks ARM in performance. What I said was you'd perhaps, with modern emulation techniques, achieve the performance of a single core P3 using a quad-core CPU running at 2 1/2 times the clock speed.
No speed demon but perhaps adequately fast for running wine inside a qemu process (x86->ARM) for running say, Powerpoint 2003, on an Ubuntu tablet.
The problem is that he's using his fame achieved from his art to gain a larger audience for his message. That's when it's time to start to actively deny him his fame.
I get the same sense of tedium whenever Richard Dawkins appears on the TV. Whatever his qualifications as an evolutionary biologist, proselytising atheism makes him seem almost as much a religious nutjob as those he seeks to liberate.
The security flaw isn't necessarily in the browser plugin per se. Rather it's in the class libraries that are 'sandboxed' when running in a security manager.
Were one to substitute, say, the IcedTea browser plugin, one would still be accessing the same underlying libraries and security manager implementations. i.e. following each security patch to Java, a Red Hat employee is quick to roll out a new IcedTea release with those patches.
Drivers aren't the issue - they would seem to sit a layer below the display server. On the desktop, they re-use all the acronyms wayland employs - GBM, KMS, DRM, OpenGL ES etc. Mir will run on the same infrastructure - e.g. using nouveau but none of the 'legacy' drivers tied to X11. On mobile, see Pekka Paalanen's efforts to port Wayland to Android, using the pre-existing underlying Android graphics APIs.
Rather, they reject the Wayland 'protocol' - "The input event handling partly recreates the X semantics" "we'd rather avoid having any sort of shell behavior defined in the protocol".

Don't they still have a network installer where it bootstraps a minimal set of packages and then asks what DE the user wants to install?

vim runs in a terminal, why exactly would you need remote windowing?
A Mozilla-only technology that no other engine supports doesn't really qualify as forgotten, even if someone submits it to W3C.
Biebs had his monkey impounded? :(
That's make for a more interesting discussion than the axis of evil complaining about Google.
Ahem, I think you have the wrong franchise, and the OP was referring to Doctor Who
Excellent, having gone back to firefox, webkit-only should be nipped in the bud.

Some of us don't have cars, either.
Plenty of cheap labour outside of Asia.
If on-shoring isn't feasible, perhaps US companies could look to their own region. e.g. stimulating a tech sector in central america.
I'd like to know where you think you're going to live on $44,000 a year?
Come to Australia and you'll find it doesn't buy much.
Download a new ISO???
Upgrades in debian-derived distros are supposed to be foolproof. Simply edit your sources.list and do an apt-get dist-upgrade.
Well she already did the nasty with Jabba in return of the jedi!
She could play Leia's half-Hutt daughter...

I have no benchmarks to prove this, naturally. :)

No but a quad-core 2Ghz ARM chip can probably emulate a single core 800Mhz x86 via qemu.
Battery life might suffer...
KDE runs adequately fast on my single core P4 with intel graphics, albeit with not alll eye-candy enabled.
Processor speed is less an issue than the amount of RAM.
So yes, probably.

Not to mention Mer, with an 'e', is a linux distro built on the remains of Meego. Ubuntu on devices running Mir will be in competition with Mer.
Minus all that ubUnity cruft...
