Oracle has caused a lot of harm to java with this litigation, with its bad handling of security issues and its general bad governance. The fact that Google has made so much effort to use java in android is a testimony to the qualities of this language.

The claim of Linus is "that as long as everybody does cross-development, the platform won't be all that stable". I have my web hosting on arm and I compile on arm. I cannot find any good and cheap arm laptop with ubuntu. If this does not happen soon, arm in servers will die shortly, like a hype. IMHO the future is not decided yet and what give Linus is a good indicator to analyse where it is aiming. If this summer we have many arm laptops that sell reasonably well on the market, I continue hosting on arm. Otherwise I go back to intel.

When the windows XP laptop of my parents died, I bought them a mini desktop with ubuntu. I live far from them and I perform the maintenance remotely (ssh and x11vnc). I think you could do the same for you employee: a dell XPS13 with ubuntu. You configure your remote access (for example using a ssh tunel from one of your sites) so that you can fix all her issues. Even dist upgrade can be performed remotely using ssh. The main advantage of ubuntu is that she will not install tons of crapware. IMHO, the single drawback is that battery does not last very long.

A landmine is already an autonomous weapon systems that can kill without human intervention.

I have a HP Officejet Pro 7612. I have little experience in hacking (I have almost finished stripe CTF 2), but I have not found much documentation abour my printer. I am interested in trying to hack my printer, at least to know better all it can do. Do you have links to doc or code?

I am a gnome 3 user since 2013. I have installed it on the computer of my (old) mother who lives far away. For remote administration, I use wakeonlan and x11vnc through a ssh tunnel. I often also connect remotely to my personal computer. This is already more complicated since 16.04 LTS. I wonder how gnome will again make my life more complicated with 18.04. Remote connection is a family of basic scenarios that should be clearly explained.
If I want to add support to a new file extension (like http://torvalds-family.blogspo...), where shall I start? Again a very weak documentation (or I have not found it).
The file indexer is a nightmare (I have a big disk with many small files (like git repositories). Nothing about how to mitigate this issue in the documentation.
I want to share the Document (and Image) directory of the main computer or the house with the 2 other ubuntu computers. What are the best solutions (I have setup nfs but everything is not smooth).
For basic usages (usages that were common and easier 20 years ago) of an advanced user, gnome introduces a level of abstraction that needs to be documented, otherwise, we have to find half working workarounds.

Event guessing login/password is not hacking if they are simplistic. There was the case of a guy who has hacked into the site (a minitel site in France) that contains the telephone number of important people. He has used it to give the telephone number of the president to a radio station that has called him in direct. The guy was never send to a judge because the login/password were: aa/ab

Java is declining because of Oracle. If Oracle made Java opensource with no strings, there would be a huge regain in popularity. IMHO the trial against Google has hurt a lot the reputation of Java.

There are many UFO observations beyond sound speed where the bang was not eared -> it is feasible.

It was the motto. This example shows why they have changed their motto.

the company I respect the less is ORACLE. Incontestably the worst company.

When an airport has two parallel runways, they are often numbered differently in order to "avoid confusion". When landing at CDG, runways 26R and 27L are parallel.

I think Limux failed because they kept a fraction of machines under windows. Cohabitation of Linux and Windows introduces many difficulties and costs that do not exist in homogeneous park.

pretty keyboard. Do you have it in bluetooth to transform my phablet into a laptop ?

I am french paying 10€ for 20GB.
