One of the largest issues that I can foresee with this is proprietary drivers for graphics cards. NVIDIA has delivered high quality drivers for Linux/X11 for their cards and tend to release new drivers quickly when new X11 versions are rel

Redbox is a movie rental vending machine (AFAIK there are not any stores). You don't really need to ever wait in line for it in my experience. There is a redbox at almost every drug store in my area so it's much more convenient than payin

I'd rather have Wikimedia in PHP that works than use a half baked solution because it's written in python. Languages are tools -- elitism not necessary here.

I've just booted the live ISO in VirtualBox, and the default desktop is clean, slick, and fast. I've got an Ubuntu 11.10 VM on this machine as well, which took much longer to boot and is all around less responsive. Linux Mint GNOME3 is a

While wayland-native applications would not be network transparent (as wayland does not support this), you would still be able to run X11 applications over the network. You can run X11 applications in Wayland (like OSX) so you can also run

It looks like Microsoft is taking a lot of care to take user usage statistics to see how the default behavior of explorer should be. However, I really hope they don't strip out any existing functionality out of explorer since it is "not us
