But whatever. You'll only end up witnessing the following:
"$USER is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported."
meego is just as much linux based as android is. To me it amounts to changing the colour of the bikeshed a bit.
Oh, so Android now ships with GNU/busybox userland and X (or Wayland in case of Sailfish) out of the box?
his is why the US catches Russian sleeper agents occasionally... or busts Chinese spies. This happens all the time. And the general convention on the matter is that if we don't punish their spying we won't punish their spying.
Being in company of China and Russia with your track record isn't something I'd consider to be proud about.

That's not the impression I get from all that's been happening up there in NK lately. They aren't behaving by anyone's definition of "rational".
Kim Jong-un trying to unite people behind him by building up imaginary foreign threat? Not exactly a novel idea or completely without rationale. He's a new leader, people are unsure of his power and some might want to take his place or get rid of him.
For all practical purpose, they are 100% unpredictable. You have no way of telling what they're going to do next.
Probably next he will just make more threaths. Threats don't kill, but they can coinvince some potential competitors in the political elite of NK that Kim Jong-un is not weak. Whatever the case the NK's dictator loves his power and using nukes would be the fastest way to throw it all away. He won't do that. It might sound stupid to people who like to dehumanize their opponents, but he's not crazy (as in irrational). It's ofcourse debatable if lust for power that goes beyond the needs of the people is sane, but then many if not all of our leaders are crazy.

Nokia's Linux businesses? They have to be worth something to somebody. And anything is better than nothing, unless they get more for destroying them than selling them.
Nokia's Linux effort was worth billions to Microsoft. Billions to have it dead.
MS sees Linux as threat and it's their tune that Nokia dances to. Elop has gone out of his way* to ensure that there's no return to Linux at Nokia.
* Firing MeeGo and Meltemi teams and killing both projects, shutting down Salo factory where N9 was being made and laying off QT devs. Everything Linux related has been axed.
I should have included the bit before that. I know about that, but how does that affect its openness?
Aegis prevents messing with some of the system files, but it's not too hard to circumverent/disable Aegis alltogether. Install open kernel or use Inception.
Though I haven't bothered with either. Aegis hasn't (yet) come into my way when porting software to the phone or installing stuff from community repository with apt-get. Much of stuff in community repos are just stock debian armel packages, with slight modifications in control files.
If you know how to compile programs in Linux, then that's the only thing you need to know to port stuff to Harmattan. Install Scratchbox to your computer, log in to it, download sources, apt-get necessary -dev packages,
N9 is just awesome. Swipe UI wipes the floor with Android and IOS + it really feels like a true Linux computer. Elop has made sure it's hard to get, but IMO it's easily worth all the money you throw for it.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
