NetRunner. Best KDE distro I've tried, now on my "production" machines.
Also, comes from a company that now sponsors Kubuntu. Hopefully they don't start spoiling it with ads because of that...

Maybe he didn't pay taxes then, but he sure pays taxes for the national debt generated by previous generation.

...I wonder. So there's no risk that private cert leaks out and government can do a man-in-the-middle attack easily.

On their private devices during employer paid time.

Most of the valuable content on the internet is at places with not enough traffic to be supported by ads anyway. If there's a donation button at such sites or some kind of micropayment (through SMS for instance) and I've used the content, I will pay.

Me watching advertisements is the same as me not watching advertisements, because I do not base my decisions on marketing. And if they count on some subconsious influence on me -- let them fuck off.

I also create content that is valuable for some people. One of my sites which has no ads and where donation link was clicked exactly one time in years has about 200 visitors each day. If they use my work, why wouldn't I use work of others.

...will smile when Debris Section burns this piece of garbage in the atmosphere.

If they cannot destroy even a small asteroid?

His "Robot fairytales" ("Bajki robotów") are one of the kind :-)

I am genuinely curious, especially if I think about all the spaghetti code I have available here.

It's really getting old to have it under half of the submissions.

Which he didn't use when registering.

I've used Debian, Ubuntu and Mint. Switched to KDE because of the mess that Unity/Gnome Shell is and am loving it. NetRunner is the most polished KDE distro in my opinion and it comes from the company, that now sponsors Kubuntu.

i860? Wow, you must be from the far future, we only have i7 here.

If you don't need attention, how is that you believe that Slashdot won't forward your IP to authorities?

If you're going to used Pidgin and custom plugins, what's stopping you from using XMPP instead of Skype?
You're missing the point here, the problem with Skype is that it's perceived as easy to use and it was the first popular one on the market, so it's crazily widespread. I use Jabber with my family, employees and other people whose computers I can control. I use Jabber with some technical people whose computers I do not control. But I gotta use Skype with non-technical people I can't influence about software they use.
