XWayland is the X server for Wayland, so that you can run traditional X applications on Wayland (as opposed to Qt etc. applications, which will talk directly to Wayland). http://wayland.freedesktop.org...
The government can't force me to use currency if I don't want to.
How many chickens would you like to bet on that?
What I find incredibly offensive is that the charity's CEO didn't even apologise to the 10,000 innocent victims whose data was lost as a result of his organisation's failings. Instead he is trying to shift the attention onto the ICO and try to portray themselves as victims.
In all probablility burning tens of thousands pounds more of the charity's money in the process. If they do actually go to appeal, rather than just saying it in the heat of the moment. It's a she, by the way.
To be fair, they are victims in the sense that if they didn't get hacked, they might have got away with their negligence but that is often true. It's rather like blaming the guy that pulled out in front of you when you were drunk driving.
Doing things right" is an incredibly nebulous statement that nearly no judge should be in a position to determine.
The principles are in Schedule 1 of the DPA
Why is it a "heavy-handed" fine? It seems to me that when an organization endangers members of the public via negligence, they should receive a penalty that is sufficient to motivate them to change their practices.

It's less that 1% of their annual turnover, and could easily come out of their senior management's pay. Think that will happen? Me neither.
We've been building tunnel diodes since the late 1950s. That's for electrons though... I don't see how tunneling can help protons.
Some enzymes use it; bioscience is frighteningly subtle at times. Not for fusion though.
What do you mean it didn't happen?
He was arrested and held for 6 months then allowed to go free by the UK government.
GP argued that the courts always sided with the elite. However, Pinochet lost the case, although some of the charges were dismissed. The government later decided to let him go on medical grounds.
Surprise? UK courts follow elite interests and have always done so. Take their refusal to extradite Augusto Pinochet to Spain a decade ago
I'm very surprised at that, since it didn't happen.
To paraphrase, when the government does it, it's not illegal. It would be absurd to expect any other outcome.
Not at all, the executive frequently acts unreasonably and gets slapped down by the courts. However, when parliament grants very broad powers (as in the case of a lot of anti-terrorism legislation) they are more likely to get away with it.
A fairly standard (but nonetheless shameful) case this morning: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-...
No, all senior judges have the title "Lord Justice" and it just so happens this one used to be called Mr Laws.
However, Lord Chief Justice Judge has retired.
Whilst I wouldn't be 100% sure based on a press report, it does appear to be laser fused:
Everything you can accelerate to the speed of light has no mass so that doesn't help. The momentum of a massless particle traveling the speed of light is zero.
It's not a particularly surprising result but it's one thing saying that after the fact, and another to do a good quality trial. 90-99% of science (well, to be honest, pretty much of everything worth doing) takes skill and patience rather than a moment of brilliance.
Because the vast majority Muslims who either enter or leave "the land of milk and honey" are not enemy combatants or terrorists or intending to fight any kind of war.
Yes, but that's not the point is it? We're not talking about the vast majority of Muslims, we're talking about the ones that have just returned form a war zone.
It doesn't mean you automatically lose a debate
Not as originally stated, although that is often assumed to follow. For example, the Jargon file has:
“As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.” There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress.
