Comment: Relations with upstream (Score 1) 319
What is the policy of Canonical regarding work with upstream projects, like GNOME? While some other parties are working quite closely with upstream (for example, RedHat is working very closely with GNOME, and GNOME is working closely with gstreamer), Canonical is inclined to make stuff in-house (SSO, online accounts, Unity etc.).

Seems to me that you are avoiding the question of WHY discriminiation is wrong. Simply stating that it is fundamentally wrong without a rationalization for why it is wrong isn't particularly useful. Sure, it is nice and simple to say that and ignore the whys, but it isn't really all that helpful to getting us to a place that fixes the problems that discrimination causes.
It's wrong because it violates the fundamental assumption that all people are born (or created, if you're a deist/theist) equal.
People are not born equal. That is a fact of life. Although USA is in high up in social mobility ratings, poor are still more likely stay poor and rich are more likely to stay rich. Ignoring reality and pretending that reality matches shouldland is silly at best.

It really depends on what you want form the beast, but I would suggest looking into Pentax Q camera.
Strong side: really small (camera and lenses), solid, has controls of a DSLR.
Weak side: expensive, small sensor, not many lenses (without adapter at least).
Small sensor is not always a bad thing. It depends, if you want to fight with focusing.
