What's wrong with Wayland that Mir fixes?
What else does Mir bring to the table that would make people use it over Wayland?
What is preventing Wayland from improving over the next 2 years?

If you want people to click on, read, and discuss articles, Slashdot, you should have articles worth clicking on, reading, and discussing.

I read TFA. Nothing in it answers the questions I have, not even the answer to the same fucking question that the interviewer had.

Grow a pair and move to the US of A.
Here, the only king you need to memorize is the Almighty Dollar.

Komptria!
Indeed.
Jaffa kree!
Sha'kaaaaaaaaaaaa.
If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago.
Does it say "Colonel" anywhere on my uniform?

Apparently TESLA headlines weren't getting enough clicks, so they had to shove IPHONE in there too.
This site is fucking pathetic.

All of the "flake" cereals have Cheerios beat on surface area:volume.

Compare the adoption rate of firewire vs the adoption rate of Thunderbolt across peripherals.
Firewire was much more successful, and had an actual use at the time - it was much faster than USB when USB was a bottleneck for common uses.
Thunderbolt is faster than USB, but USB 3 and USB 3.1 are not bottlenecks for common uses. For high-demand uses, you should be using something like DisplayPort or PCIe, both of which are faster and cheaper (from controller to cable to licensing) than Thunderbolt.

I don't think you understand how Thunderbolt works - it's a controller that attaches directly to PCIe and then wraps some protocol shit around it so it can shunt USB, Ethernet, etc. over a single pipe. I would prefer to go over PCIe without Thunderbolt every single time.

Having a fucking brain necessitates being a Mac hater. If you think you're getting anything near the capabilities for full duplex 10 Gbps Ethernet over Thunderbolt without a true 10 Gbps Ethernet controller in the system, you're a damned fool. If you do have a 10 Gbps Ethernet controller in the system, just use it directly.

I saw Spiderman 3, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, The Amazing Spiderman, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Man of Steel, The Dark Knight Rises, The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Hulk, The Incredible Hulk, Fantastic 4, Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, X-Men, X-Men 2, X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men: Wolverine Origins, The Wolverine, X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Daredevil, The Green Lantern, Ghost Rider, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Superman Returns, The Punisher, and Ninja Turtles, you insensitive clod!

It's like you don't understand what "effects" are.

It's a space station!

I understand the use. "Most all video cameras" don't fucking have Thunderbolt. "Most all video cameras" can't fucking sustain that bandwidth out.

For any professional gear, DisplayPort 1.2/1.2a/1.3 is the better choice. 17.28 Gbps of bandwidth as of the end of 2009, 25.92 Gbps as of now. Yes, it supports daisy chaining.
So fuck right on off with telling me what I don't fucking understand.

A $30 cable, expensive Thunderbolt chipset, expensive peripherals, and you won't be getting actual 10 Gbps full duplex Ethernet through Thunderbolt, nor will it work a damn without an actual 10 Gbps Ethernet controller somewhere in the system.
Keep on keepin' on, though.

It's a bigger flop than firewire, which had a few niche uses.
Thunderbolt is nothing more than external PCIe with a yet another "one protocol to rule them all" wrapper.
We've had eternal PCIe for over a decade. We don't use it outside of pro workstations with external FirePro / Quadro shit.

They key selling point of Thunderbolt is "OMG it's so fast!". Yet the only practical uses for that speed for 99.99% of people are already served by other shit (DisplayPort, Ethernet, etc.). For regular use, USB 3.x will dominate the market, even if they're being completed retarded and still changing the connectors. For uses where you really do need speed, you connect to PCIe directly anyway.

As bad as USB 1-2 / 3 / 3.1 / otg / mini / micro / a / b / c is, Thunderbolt is worse because of the cost of the cables and controllers compounds with the fact that any port can be a thunderbolt port, so you'll need an adapter to go from that USB port that's actually a thunderbolt port on your Sony laptop to your thunderbolt cable to your thunderbolt device.
Passing ethernet, video and USB over a single cable may look nice, but it's not worth the cost and it serves very little purpose. Daisy chaining can be done via DisplayPort, if you really want. HDMI can carry Ethernet for some reason, and DisplayPort can carry USB (data and the higher-power charging shit).

Nothing about Thunderbolt is novel or particularly useful. Being connected straight to PCIe the way Thunderbolt is is wildly insecure, to boot.

I've got 3 days to go, but the number of confirmed cases has already tripled, and the number of people exposed is now beyond accurate measuring. We're in full-on Kevin Bacon territory at this point. I had to wait less than a third of the alleged 21 day incubation period to be proven right.
Keep trusting the CDC and the Obama administration, though.

Only 7 days later and the number of confirmed cases has tripled and the number of exposed has grown massively. I sure hope you come at me in 3 more days, though.
