What possible future genius would need a movie to get inspired and find his true calling?
That is utter bs, i don't think a thousand movies will/can do that.

These things always happen to people who are using 3th party app stores, besides f-droid (which only has open source android apps), what could the possible reason be to use 3th party app stores? what apps are on there that you can't find on the play store?
Lets ban all those horrible images from WOII too.
automate!
seriously, who still does this stuff manually these days?
i'm looking at this phone, and the only thing that is so-so is the screen resolution.
All other things just look fine, 1.3Ghz quad core, 1Gb ram, 8Gb storage (expandable),
What is not to like? I'm buying this.
to be replaced by systemd.
nm includes dhcp client, systemd also. both are RH projects, wtf.
well this Sony hack sure has been a good thing for us so far. It is bringing a lot of things into the open/spotlight that we would otherwise not know of (unless it is too late perhaps, and the lobbyists work is done). Could it have been een inside job? It this the equivalent of snowden-nsa but for one big media company?
No wonder who ever did it doesn't want to step up, they would be trailed and sued to death, all the while Sony just continues whatever they've been doing without consequences (the impact of this will be minimal, just as all other crooked things they did, didn't have any impact).
I always though this was another one of those banking scams they got away with. You transfer money, and for a day it is neither on your or on the receivers account. Where is it then? In the bank's pocket, making them money somehow.
I don't really agree with this approach, it is like forcing somebody to watch all great sci-fi movies before he can go watch Interstellar. I do think they should watch all those great movies in good time and because they are great, they will still be fun/good to watch today.
The same with games, i've seen it with my own kids. The real gems from the 8bit NES / C64 era still stand their own. I never forced them on these, but the questions come anyway, if you know kids, they are always full of questions.
After playing mario galaxy, the question came if there are other mario games, at that point it is easy to introduce them to the past. I showed/played them through the whole history of Mario, starting with donkey kong (and showing donkey kong jr on my original savoured game&watch), going to mario bros (no, not 'super mario bros'), etc. Did they like all of them, no and i don't blame them, because some of them are not that great anymore. But the real good ones were still enjoyed and played (by them, by choice afterwards).
Games are part of our culture now, like art, books, music and movies. It would be cruel not to let them know the classics, but it is just as cruel to force-feed them.
"The Bluetooth spec never quite became the worldbeater it was billed as"
What are you talking about, BT is the de-facto standard for connecting wirelessly with almost any device today, ranging from audio devices to input devices to applliances, how has it not beaten any comparable specification, in fact is there even another _usable_ alternative?
This only makes sense if you have contributor(s) in house. And i mean the plural, because just having a kernel contributor in house is not enough.
If this is not the case, don't even think about it.
Put your windows on a raspi and see how... what do you mean, you can't?
Intel is NOT a fraud, except that the 3D hardware is not as powerful. Otherwise they are the best of the 3 (Nvidia, AMD, Intel), because they at least have a full open source stack.
I recently build a new PC, based on an Asus motherboard which has UEFI, but there is no problem what so ever with running linux on it.
The build-in wifi works, USB3 works, BIOS is updatable with a USB key,
You just need to use a recent distro that has support for UEFI (Ubuntu & SteamOS both worked for me).
you can get python 2.7 from redhat for RHEL6 now.
With your bare hands?!?
