aymous coward couldn't be wronger.

Ubuntu makes you dumb. period.

your goal is to find a distro with good documentation. if you are 200% serious, I'd say start with openBSD. not Linux perse, but it's the only place where documentation issues are considered high priority bugs. also you will learn a lot more about best practices (the main reason I think the parent is being obnoxious as suggestion Ubuntu for someone who is clearly already abusing sudo more than he/she should)

also, I'd say 90% of /. started with slack ware, moved to red hat or debian based distros, then played with linux-from-scratch.

lastly, threat every choice as life threatening :-) ...installer asks you which file system? research the hell out of every option. do not install Linux pressing next-next-next-finish.

Finally a office suite not forcing me to store all mydata on their servers.

Though be warned, it will download some 20mb of qt libraries. On my nexus one, this raises the bar on if i can even have the app by a huge margin

They say odt format is not available yet (with a typo missing the "not" on the store no less)

So, if your backup is already online, let's say a vps, you would be sending everything unencrypted to the machine you can't really trust and encrypting there?

Sadam was pretty much dying and there was a middle class elite in the country. That's the recipe for a Pacific revolution... Why do you think that was the timing for invasion?

Without sadam there would be no control.it would be an autonomous country.

Only a neckbeard would say that.

A real human have his card on the back of a bar while he's getting hammered with cheap liquor at least twice a month.

Most cc harvesters get data directly from banking systems or brick and mortar stores. Mainly because of volume.

Those small business are worthless.

It's like a cabriolet covetable convertible spider topless targa car.

Yeah, the only problem is that girl never lived in Cuba.

I expect her interviews on lame right media, but now even here...

Those are very successful corruption study hypothesis. I fail to see your point

Yes it is. If it were Microsoft you'd be shouting "bait and switch" but since it's Google, you ddrop your pants..

Wrong.

It works like this: Google makes you scan several of your friends in several outfits and tag them.

Now Google has a database of, your friends and social circle; your friends faces; your friends cloth shopping habits for direct ad targeting

And you have nothing because this feature will probably only work 5% of the time

...and not being merchanists would allow you to see how wrong it is to go after information dissemination cases instead of hiring more personnel to solve actual crimes.

IP cases costs me my tax money and bring me zero benefit.

Cut the crap.

Thereare millions of mission critical things that are online for good reasons.

Just do it right.

Assuming,you don't have to do it right,because there's a air gap or anything else the sales guy would say when explaining why you don't have to hire an expensive network security guy will just get you in trouble.

It's like trusting a car salesman that this car is cheaper because it uses full synthetic oil so you never have to change it again.

Read "the big trip up yonder" by Kurt Vonnegut to see where your logic also fails.
