Mir is only planned for 14.10. They were planning Xmir for 13.10, but that has been delayed until 14.04. I think they're underestimating the amount of work that is needed for a pure Mir environment (without X handling everything via Xm

GNOME 3.8 does NOT depend on logind. That is optional. See https://blogs.gnome.org/ovitters/2013/09/25/gnome-and-logind... for a bit more detail. E.g. some features rely on systemd, so if you want those

Nope, designers want to maybe change something to do with text selection. However, no plans yet. Slashdot made a fuzz about nothing.

Gentoo GNOME packagers decided they'd make GNOME in Gentoo depend on systemd. I don't see why you expect GNOME developers to help out with another init systemd. That should be up to init system developers. Just implement the same

An API doesn't have a license. It is just the code which has a license. Do you mean you want to copy the code to reuse it under OpenRC, or are you really talking about the API? Regarding API license: Just ask systemd mailing list. They

Yes, support has been added as of 3.10. It is similar to what Mac OS does. People who do not want that can tweak it in tweak tool.

As mentioned in the blog, almost all GNOME developers use a systemd distribution. How would adding another layer in between make things less buggy? Especially as almost nobody would test that code? GNOME will release 3.10.0. Gentoo seems to

Various APIs are being added at the kernel layer (kdbus). Only for cgroups there is a change coming up where they just want 1 process to manage the cgroups. At the moment that is only implemented by systemd. This resulted in logind relying

My point was more that license was no reason, Wayland already has a good license. Mir is first under a different license to then require a special CLA to be able to license it differently. In Wayland everyone has the same rights.

The reason for starting Mir is still unclear to me. The is a very real cost of maintaining Mir. If you're not Canonical, why would you spend money, time and complexity for an unclear benefit? Better have it stay Canonical-only.

Wayland is not under such licences. It uses the MIT license.

Hackers News works on basis of votes. The submitter added a link to something that the person thought was interesting. 69 other people agree. Thus there is no pollution, you're just do not want to see it. That's different.

There have been various studies done regarding bicycle helmets. My conclusion on those: helmets make biking more annoying. You need a helmet, you need to put it on and off. It is a minor annoyance, but huge problem in making biking popular

It is not logical to make such a conclusion. If someone is used to cycle in The Netherlands, obviously they will have a difficult time if it is not flat. Further, if the country is flat, bikes of course can adjust to that (heavier bikes, et

OLAP is not like SQL or ODBC. It shows things in a cube. OP is talking about OLAP, not just SQL/some database (which is of course works perfectly fine). Note: Aside from knowing that OLAP is different, not much practical knowledge.

Michael Meeks once said they want to get rid of as much of Java as possible. Not sure of all the reasons. Just having Java enabled in OO.org used to be a major cause of OO.org starting up slowly. I haven't checked if that is still the

LibreOffice works on multiple versions at the same time. So 4.1.0 is just out, that'll be advertised as "potentially buggy" (forgot what name they gave it). Then they will still continue to release new updates for 4.0.x and I

If not confidential, could you please file bugs regarding bad conversions? LibreOffice actually has various test cases to make sure they do not regress such bugs.
