Let's see...

Ouch... App Armour instead of SELinux.

No least amount of privilages (see app armour as well), making you exposing functionality one can abuse. Very. Stupid.

I hope it's not Adobe Flash? Take Gnash for DRM'd YouTube. Use this for everything else:
  http://youtube.com/html5
  And please don't tell me you need Flash for anything important.
Widely spread closed source crap that is internet-only. (plugin, right?)

Entire... sites? Not individual scripts? Not per-session or whitelist?

You did not actualy forgot to disable the file:/// protocol in use by your webbrowser, did you?

Hahaha no. And don't tell me you automatically connect to WiFi, with any computing device you have under full control. (as in not a complete DRM castle, like an iPad. And please don't tell me that you root mobile stuff... do you?)

That's only one part of the problem. Now imagine making GHB available to all rapists. Yeah...

BTW the biggest problem with illicit drugs is that the people who take them regularly for a reason, aren't helped with therapy and 'real' medicine. Seriously...

So the point here is that the drug problem, anywhere, is lack of education. Also; the people who die from 'relatively safe' recreative use (say; 1-2mg MDMA per kilogram bodyweight per 3 months), die because of te lack of education. And they don't even have a problem because of drugs.

So basically drug problem is a problem with education, which can impair the economic and politics, which in turn leads to more people who want to escape from reality.

Yeah sure... why not legalize all medicine? To anyone? Oh wait... yeah I remember; because if not prescribed it can lead to this thing called death and sorts...

People with higher standards; me for example.

Gnome 2 is horrible.

And to quote the PDF:

Now hands up who thinks that Canon will dump the consumer camera market?

Imagine you're Kim and this is the situation you are in:
1. You're smart and you've attended university in Sweden;
2. You survived a hit;
3. Your dad was butfsck psychotic and manic;
4. Your army wants you dead, because they are underfed;
5. The US wants you dead, because of your father.
6. All your aids are cut off;
7. Your dad's nuke can't reach the USA;
8. South Korea^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Everybody wants you dead.

This is what I think, Kim is planning:
1. Act as he does (happening right now);
2. Position 28.500 US soldiers in the range of your one nuke, inside the country that wants you dead;
3. Nuke the bastards;
4. Thereby making the US nuke your army (that wants you dead), along with the butfsck retarted and brainwashed population that is theoretically shit out of luck anyway;
5. Flee off to India to get a facelift that you pay for with the money that you acquired through your military industry;
6. Laugh your ass off, because the US can't even figure if you're dead, because they just nuked you, okay?

The perfect con... Seen the movie?

First make yourself look like an knowledgeable idiot, to hide that that you are not that stupid. By acting arrogant, nobody will ever even considder that you are smarter, not even a nanosecond.

Secondly, make your enemy arrogant (seems to work).

After that, hand your enemy your chess pieces, utilizing the trick that your pulled of at first. Make your enemy underestimate you.

Your enemy will be laughing his ass of, until he realizes he has positioned himself checkmate. He will not learn from his mistake, because nobody wants to question their own intelligence.

Lols...

Yeah this solution was known for years.

It's so fscking easy, nobody seems to notice it:
1. The song is looping, because it's something that loops, duh;
2. By engaging cognition into it, one can extend the loop and thus break past the trigger that keeps it looping.

So here we are, looking at the n-th rediscovery, posted on /.

Ubuntu is a great starting point. Not because it's exactly a clean Linux distro (more like hanging loose with duct tape and awesful customization), but because of the support community around it.

Once you get used to Linux-ing around, go to Fedora because it's new, clean and raw and thus learning material.

But before you shift to Fedora, watch the excellent noob-friendly Hacktip series from Hak5:

Now tell me; since Flash and Silverlight will exist, anyway... How are we going to keep the web open, exactly?

The answer is simple, but not easy.

1. Ask your customers what they like/dislike/want;
2. Focus first on the primary features:
-The best and fastest connectivity
-Best batterylife
-Best call quality
-Best readeable screen in the sun
-Pherhaps water proof phone for use in the rain? Nokia is working on it and it would be a massive selling point
-Offline maps with offline GPS data to reduce data usage
-Best HTMLv5 browser like Tizen, with deep phone integration, and multiple tabs and desktop grade browser features
-insanely responsiveness
-Insanely great API; as insaneley good as AmigaOS back in the day

Then focus on the best components like a camera that rivals the best consumer compact camera, a fast CPU, lots of RAM and a realy fast CPU. Have a robust body and look nice with the focus on useability, not design, like the Nokia E7-00.

Make sure that you also launch the smartphone era into a real pocket computer era. This means having the option of a closed DRM appstore, but also a truely open platform and then never switch CPU architecture and never break any API. You can do this with API versioning, like Microsoft uses DLL versioning.

The rest is up to marketing and consumer feedback.

I hope people will switch to 4G as soon as possible, so that 3G will be freed up for me, so I can enjoy my E7-00 untill it dies.

If Nokia doesn't have the best HTMLv5 experience and Whatsapp (or whatever will be required by then), awesome battery life, offline maps, full qwerty keyboard, kickass camera and all the other superb features of my current phone (that excludes the camera), I will not buy a Nokia device, ever again, unless Nokia ships a full featured Linux phone.

I hope the Nokia board realizes that they do not have a single unique selling point anymore. I also hope that if they make a comeback with a good phone, their entire marketing department gets fired and replaced with competent staff that CAN ACTUALY INFORM THE PUBLIC AND DUMBASS REVIEWER ABOUT THE PRODUCT, so it won't fail like Symbian has failed to sell enough.

iPhones suck at basic functionality. Android is a horrible piece of shit, and I say that as I Linux fanboy. BlackBerry doesn't even begin to cover what I actualy use a phone for, on the go. Everybody just likes to rave about how much of a computer the non-Symbian smartphones are, while they are FAR from being an actual computer.

So please Nokia, stop the madness. Ditch Windows Phone when you've created a MOBILE COMPUTER 'phone', that actually runs a fullblown Linux install and NEVER EVER listen to these review 'experts' EVER AGAIN. Instead you might want to listen to your CUSTOMER FEEDBACK?

Good-fscking-bye...

If you think that systemd is just a rewrite because someone didn't like launchd, you are dead wrong.

Systemd does a lot more than simply launching. A simple websearch reveals that it does way more than just that.

For example:
1. Using cgroups to keep track of processes, even after double forking, so that it can launch/kill services on demand, so everything you do requires absolutely the most minimum amount of services. Say if you don't use Bluetooth; it doesn't run. If you do want to use it, then it automatically gets killed, so save useless CPU cycles;
2. Since it keep track, you don't have to assign users to certain groups anymore and logout everytime you want to update the environment;
3. It enables multi-seat setups and when you hook up a new screen, keyboard and mouse into a USB hub, it wilt automatically launch a new user session for you and prompts for a graphical login on the new screen, automatically;
4. And so on and so forth...

Compatibility issues with what? PulseAudio sits on top of ALSA or OSS; it doesn't replace it at all. That means that all the ALSA/OSS apps can still run on ALSA/OSS. PulseAudio is a routing thing.

SystemD works with SysV init scripts, but whoever wants to go that route is not thinking straight.

PulseAudio combined with SystemD allows for multi-seat setups, semi-parallel boot of sequential boot dependancie chains (with sockets) and doesn't lose track of processes after lots of forking.

OK you have to learn the Good Stuff before you dive in, but the power of Linux is not being required to internally stay like old crap, so that it may evolve not to become a giant pile of bitrot like Windows.

As of yet, I have never, ever had a problem with PulseAudio, not even when it was first introduced on Ubuntu. Many problems with PA come from not-so-strict ALSA and OSS drivers. Doing homework on Linux compatibility pays off.
