The OS will be based on open source stuff, but I don't think it's enterity will be open source, since Steam includes DRM, and DRM+Open source don't go hand in hand.

What advantages does Nvidia get by it's hardware carrying the Nvidia logo? Why do they care?

RTFS. This is a hardware based solution, not two separate logical drives, so you can just create on single root partition and stuff everything into it.

I belive you're confused because you use the normal definitions of "debut" and "news", not the slashdot ones.
Even though people have been using this for over a year, it's still called "debut", because it's a slow news day.

Depends on the country. I've noticed that in CA, almost every programmer had a degree (and many had a second degree - eg: a masters).
Meanwhile, in Argentina, most programmers don't have a degree, but have a lot more programming experience. This is, in part, because they start working as junior programmers during first year of university, and accumulate more years of experience by the time they're 23). Experience matters a lot more than a degree for the average programmer job too.
A great deal of those drop university because they realize they don't really need the degree and don't have the time for it.

Are you sure? The article doesn't say it's based on a survey to human programmers!

Of all the places I've worked at, I think a total of 5% was married. In several jobs all of my co-workers were single (regardless of age). And the max amount of children I've seen any other developer have, is ONE.

Have I been working in extremely unusual places this last decade, or is this survey way off?

As I said, I've had no issues gaming with Intel HD 5000. Multi-monitor gaming is something I've yet to come across, so I can't vouch for that. There's no issue using Hi-DPI with Intel video at all, an HD 5000 support 3200x2000. Dunno about gaming no those resolutions though.

It's not about feature, it's about X being unmaintanable, huge, and impossible to understand.
This video is extremely insightful, and quite worth watching.

Not really. Gnome was an alternative, and could run software designed for KDE just fine. No extra effort was necesary to port each application (as happens with Wayland/Mir).

Because Ubuntu has no real reason to develop Mir, and it's a huge waste of resources.
Most of the *nix world is backing up Wayland as a replacement for X, and Cannonical, with no actual justification, went it's own way to develop Mir. This means porting things like gtk, qt, etc, etc over to Mir. It also means that porting software to/from Ubuntu is now a bit more complicated.

While there are thing where you benefit from variety (ie: music player, paint app), some things just add overhead, with no actual benefit for those who pick either X or Y.

This is just part of a cron script that send a news "Voyager I just left the solar system" once a month to the media. No human intervention required.

Funny and quite accurate as well. I was just thinking "This means that we'll see yet another new regarding Voyager I leaving the solar system"!

That's been the excuse for YEARS now! If they haven't addressed this issue in all this time, it's because they don't WANT to release documentation, not because they can't.

Times are changing fast. Intel's GPUs are catching up with nvidia's. Last-gen games run great on an Intel HD 5000, and the gap between Intel and nvidia/amd is shinking fast!
