Yes...try reading the article:
- Another new back-end is providing RDP support, Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol. While this isn't the proper remote Wayland implementation previously talked about with experimental code, RDP clients can now connect to this Weston back-end that is compliant with FreeRDP.

This is great news and solves the long-standing question about how Wayland was going to handle remote clients in an acceptable manner.

Not to mention that most SSD's are being sold by companies that don't have much (if any) presence in the HDD market at all (Intel, Samsung, Corsair, Crucial, Kingston, etc), making them direct competitors to the likes of Western Digital & Seagate.

Steve Jobs is never an "entertaining" kind of guy. In fact, Mr. Jobs can be the worst kind of SOB when he was in his mood.
I dunno...I'd kinda find seeing some of his tantrums entertaining. I thought they were in Pirates of Silicon Valley.

My mistake. I meant to say that it was required on any nvidia-based htpc with limited amount of CPU power (like the popular Intel Atom-based HTPC's that so many people (myself included) use).

1. since its free software it can co-exist with other drivers, and lets x auto detect. your only option on live cds
2. feature complete 2d and 3d rendering
3. rock solid stable. Its actually more stable than the proprietary driver
nvidia
1. fast, perfomance comparable with other OSs
2. closed source, doesn't play well with other drivers. But lets face it, if your playing video games, them too are closed source, and if your on a proper normal installed system, you don't need other video drivers.
3. 100% feature complete, uses every last feature of the hardware as intented.
4. supports OpenCL and vector programming.
5. supports VDPAU (required on any nvidia-based htpc)

got used to the new start screen - it's not _that_ bad, no worse than hunting through menus to find what you're looking for, and actually better in that you can just start typing the name of a program and it comes up in the search. Or you can type the name of a control panel applet or setting, and that works too.
Who hunts through menus anymore? I've been able to "just start typing the name of a program and it comes up in the search" since, *gasp!*, Windows Vista.

PHP. Classic procedural programming, object-oriented programming, & (as of PHP 5.3) functional programming...it's got it all. In addition, the syntax is very C-like, so making the transition to other popular languages such as C/C++, Java, C#, and Javascript isn't too difficult. Also, the documentation for PHP is very good (http://php.net/docs.php).

As a side note, I have to mention that I have never had an Ubuntu install of any type - desktop or server - that didn't fall into dependency hell upon doing a dist-upgrade. Archlinux for desktops, Debian for servers.
Funny, I just did 2 version upgrades on Ubuntu Server recently without really any problems. Perhaps you're holding it wrong?
