There will always be people who use stupid passwords and even the good passwords can be bypassed using security holes in the system. Email/password login pairs are currently being leaked from left and right. Biometric solutions exist, but the big weakness in those is that one can not change ones eyes or fingers. Password managers are a moderately good solution, but there still usually is at least the email address to be leaked. Also one is still relying on a third party for ones secrets. A potential good solution is SQRL. It is open source and uses off-the-shelf well known good crypto. Every site will have an unique id AND password, so even if your id is being leaked, it can not be connected to you. In general, sites will not have secrets to keep so any leak will not hurt you. You have the control of your id and password, no one else. Login process is easier and faster than typing id and password. You do need to create your SQRL identity and install the application for each platform you use. You do have the full responsibility of keeping your id and password safe, and this might not be for everyone. I am optimistic about SQRL and I am more than ready to take full responsibility of my own id and passwords. I am optimistic about SQRL. If it takes off, I will be more secure online and logins will be easier. SQRL is not fully finished yet for all platforms, but I think it is worth the wait. https://www.grc.com/sqrl/sqrl....

I have noticed chosen distro does not really make a difference. First my sons used Linux Mint happily, mostly watching videos on Youtube. Later I installed Ubuntu Gnome and they made no remarks, they found the browser on their own. I went back to Linux Mint because my older son likes to update the OS, and Mint has nice icon showing when updates are available. I like using Mint in computers I've promised to maintain (my 70+ years old aunt and uncle and some friends) because the machines really do not require much effort. Seldom update them with remote connection and twice installed printer drivers remotely. If you want to present your kids some nice games, I recommend Fedora Games distribution https://labs.fedoraproject.org... . It has ~100 games pre-installed, they work off-line and some of them are actually ok.

In Donate page, when I click bitcoin - Donate Now -button, I get "The merchant is currently not able to accept this payment. Please contact the merchant to resolve this issue." Why does organizations use third party merchant to receive bitcoin? They would only need to publish bitcoin address in the website, and I would be able to donate.

I use Ubuntu Gnome happily on my main computer and Linux Mint on two laptops. It was really surprising to me too one could not change mouse scroll speed in Gnome. I searched for a solution and finally bumped to imwheel, found this video and followed it's instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

This hour long documentary "This World - Quelle Catastrophe! France with Robert Peston" (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jjl85) really gives you some insight to this case. Yes, I do understand the hate for greedy corporations, but insane labor laws hurt workers and especially small companies.

That is a very interesting quote, do you have the source?

I've never donated to any organisation just because they exist and do what they do. Until now. My 10e might not be much, but it sure felt good giving it to Wikileaks.
