oh, conf.d is a openrc thing? I always loved that part about gentoo.

the systemd init may be brilliant, if it would be isolated. But its mixed up with udev, syslog and even gnome to some extent. This cannot be an good idea, because stuff like init needs to KISS.

stuff like journalctl is just PITA, but there will be convenient wrappers. The best solution at the moment: install rsyslog and it will log stuff from the systemd journal to normal logfiles.

nope. I use passphrases almost everywhere, there are only a few sites which are refusing it. (sadly including my bank, which demands a 5 char password)

The main reason for password insecurity is brute force, not stolen devices.

looks quite okay, doesn't it? Is it in any real world password set? Is it in a wordlist? How many password crackers provide brute-force preset options, which will find this one in a short time? I guess you would have be quite secure, if you actually used it.
Now you can argue, slashdotters will tune their bruteforce tools to include a lot of consecutive letters with only little random parts before/after maybe in the middle, but if you have to many exception rules, you will miss passwords which can be brute forced easier.
The best system is an easy one with many chars, which is your personal one. Nobody will try to optimize his cracker for hundereds of possible personal systems, but try to get the password123 ones. Okay, maybe except you're snowden, then they will use a team of 20 psychologists to analyse what your password setting pattern might be.

my bank limits the password to 5 alphanum chars

yeah, because you totally want to use the local dialect, as soon as you are there.

use the aosp one.

I tried years ago the trial, saw the permission. When i saw that it was used all the time (LBE Privacy Guard. Use XPrivacy today), i uninstalled it.

Try SwiftKey, the swipe is better than Swype, anyway.

Better a non working firearm, than a firearm in the wrong hands. Use less firearms.

i once had a breakout game, which had some story about action in space in its description. What? I do not need a story for a breakout game.

> A game doesn't need good graphics to be good, but good graphics make it better.
nope. i still think many SNES games would be very different with modern graphics.

there are movies/series, which open a lot of questions without answering. Have a Look at the Anime Serial Experiments Lain. After the last episode, you still wonder what it really was about, and have a lot of questions from different episodes, which are up to you. And still you feel a familiar tone through the series up to the end.
After watching it, i was like "i want a sequel" and "no sequal can ever match the series and answering the questions will kill the atmosphere" at the same time.

What about games about exploring the game itself? Like http://www.duangle.com/ for example (still early alpha, but look at the videos).

Or games which are just something you enjoy, like osmos, pathological, even 2048 does not need a story to kill many hours of productivity.
