The real trick for Linux compatibility is the ability to go to a box store, buy a new graphics card (or any device) Plug it in into your PC and see if it works, works without having to spend hours finding the driver for your common distribution, and works well.
That has been my biggest problem with Linux support. It is a case where a particular component failed on my computer, and I need a new one right away. Being that your computer is down, you are unable to research what you should get. So you go to the store look around and find something that would seem to work with your computer. A name that you recognize, and specs that are probably better then your old one.
Publish or Parish, is the motto for researchers. In a field where everyone wants your data, that means there are a lot of people working on it. So people may fabricate their results to what they feel would be the expected results, as a gamble, if it works they are first and they are the hero and they get a lot of money and fame. If they fail their story gets retracted, they find a way to point the finger at someone else and suffer some shame until people forget.
The point of good governance is not to trick people into breaking the laws. Because if the law is fair it should be their for the public good. No parking next to a hydrant means that fire fighters can have quick access to it. Parking could delay the firefighting time, and cause far more damage then the fines would produce. So it is important that people follow the laws, and not just put things so we can just bring in revenue.
As with any big data project. We just don't just store the data and magic happens. There are questions to try to figure out and answer. Having the public ask the questions means you get more out of the data.
Where did I state that that stuff was good for either, or stating that this stuff you should use instead?
Alcohol main issue is that it is ingrained with our culture, so getting rid of it will cause a ton of problems. Proposing starting new cultures where we take additional stuff that is bad for you is actually just stupid.
Caffeine, doesn't mess with your head the same way other drugs do. It just gives you extra energy. That said caffeinated food and drink is a bad idea, you should just stick to the food/drink that has it naturally. Knowing that it is a drug needs to be taken in moderation or not at all.
Nicotine, there is a lot of work making it harder and harder to get access too.
But in general these are examples if we leave people choose their drugs with free will they will abuse them.
"I'm thinking wormholes, warp drives, hyper space." All of which are are unproven theories. And could be proven to be impracticable (needing an energy the size of a star E stills equals MC^2) or impossible, or dangerous aka destroying the universe.
It may be the Speed of Light is the Speed limit that we cannot break.
In a world where Science Fiction is still fiction, and these wormholes, warp drives, and hyper space are meant as plot devices to move your characters into the story conflict of dealing with something alien. You find that these plot devices are made especially for weekly serial TV or movies with Sequels as you want to keep the same characters time and time again.
Now that said, it doesn't mean we should stop space exploration or trying to break the limits. Even if we could get a fraction of the speed of light say 1/10th the speed of light. We could travel our own solar system as well the sailors of old traveled the oceans. Generational ships can bring us to stars that are within 10 light years of year, and come back to earth without too much diversion of evolution.
Even without having to jump galaxies there is so much in our little neighborhod that we haven't explored.
As per Douglas Adams: Space is big, I mean really big, you won't believe how mind boggling huge it is. You think it is a far way to the chemist? That is just peanuts to space, listen!
Responsibly means using it in a controlled manner, where there is a sober and knowledgeable guidance to the usages. Preventing OD, insuring their body can handle it and that they have taking the correct precautions. The problems with these drugs is they either block and/or excite parts of your brain functionally. In essence have your brain function erratically.
Now these people are using this to get cool dreams, feel bliss, or see things, while otherwise they are healthy adults, then they are misusing the drug. Aka Drug Abuse. As well many of these drugs have long term effects that build up over time. So the first time you are 99.99999% Ok, but after a while your brain gets more damaged.
So for these drugs, you need to know if what they are curing is worse then the damage it causes. Drug Culture, is being responsible only that they are not OD enough to kill themselves, or let it get in the way of their productive lives. But they are still slowly messing up their brains.
The problem is there is a conflict in peoples political agendas.
People who want freedom of information are also the same people who want's guns restricted.
Being that we are getting to a point where guns are made and duplicated by the free sharing of information, causes people to prioritize their political stance.
Is information freedom more important even if it leads to dangerous weapons being made. Or is public safety more important and we need to further restrict or freedom of information.
When ever you give someone a tool, they can use the tool to do good or to do bad.
Well I was a kid of the 1980's. There was a difference from when your parents got you a Go-Bot vs. a Transformer as a toy. As far as your parents were concerned they were the same thing. A car that turns to a robot, Being a polite child I never really gave them a fuss, as having toys even if it wasn't the ones I really wanted is better then no toys, however I still wished that I had the other brand that is more popular with the other kids.
In many peoples mind an iPhone isn't a Apple iPhone but a little box with a big touch screen, and a button on the bottom. an iPod is just a portable MP3 Player.
Just like Escalators, Kleenex, and Weed Eaters. The brand actually describes the product and not the manufacturer
The point of a minimum wage, is to have a baseline of a barely livable wage.
If you raise the minimum wage too much then you will get businesses that will not invest in man power and move toward automated methods, or outsourced methods. The 1% may be evil, but they are not stupid.
If an employee costs are greater then a machine over a period of time that the machine is expected to last, then the company will go with the machine.
Automated Cars, Flying Drones, Robots, Voice Interfaces, and bigger faster and cheaper computers that are all tied together. Many of the low end jobs will go away, and many of the middle class jobs will too.
Now the minimum wage needs to be fair enough to allow people to live off of it, but not too high that will prevent hiring.
The stupid blond is probably based on the following. Being Blond is a rare trait. Such a trait we find interesting and somewhat attractive as it encourages genetic adversity. Being that the blond shows genetic diversity, there are more people willing to mate with them, Being that they are more people are willing to mate, there is less of a need to differentiate themselves as superior or better, so they follow the simplest route.
A large portion of our actions is about being attractive to the other sex. Even if you are an Alpha Geek, you are more Geeky then the next guy. If you in particular can attract and mate easier chances are you will follow a simpler route on average and not try harder.
It isn't that Blonds are naturally more stupid, it is just the environment doesn't require them to be smart.
3.1 wasn't good, people just didn't know what a GUI OS could really do. Windows 95, stunk too. Windows 98, Combined the stinkiness of 95, with a web browsers embedded just to kill netscape, however Windows ME, Failed in some hardware support, made people deal with windows 98 for compatibility. Windows XP, Got better as it used the NT Kernel. However it did break a lot of compatibility of the old DOS programs, and no one really liked the Phiser Price colors. Vista, Driver Compatibility problems yet again. Took way too long to release, people got use to XP, saw no reason to upgrade. Too Little Too late. Windows 7. Finally an OS that has all the features promised in us for Windows 95! Windows 8. OMG IT IS DIFFERENT! We finally liked Windows 7... However the desktop is a slowing market so it needed a more touch friendly Interface. However I haven't ran into any stability or driver issues yet. It is just the new Interface needs to be cleaned up.
It for the most part isn't about getting a good OS, just that when we get an OS we can normally keep it for 2 versions, after the second version enough is different for you to upgrade.
Now there is an other possibility. People who are in poverty tend to live in Cities, and often get the bedrooms which are directly under the light. Now people in poverty often do not buy healthy food, and because they are stressed from poverty, my not try to eat well.
I personally find it interesting how Slashdot was so Pro-Cloud when it came out, then when RMS did some rant about it they almost all changed their minds overnight.
As with any new approach or technology, you need to look at the good and bad. The fact that there is a trade off to a different approach doesn't make it bad, it comes down to is that trade off worth the benefit. For some people yes it is. For a lot of people the risk of not having control of your hardware is worth the value of lower upfront costs, and higher performance. For others it isn't.
At my work we don't use Cloud solutions, because our data is sensitive and there is large legal fines if it is released. Standard Cloud services are not willing to sign the contract stating that they will accept responsibility of any fines from data leeks or data loss. So we don't use them.
Other organizations the data doesn't need to be so protected, so a cloud solution works better than trying to run everything yourself.
Well if you can get a point to point communication without the need of a middle man ISP. Yes you could end the comcast/nextflix deal. Heck Comcast itself will be gone.
Sure it is used by a lot of people... However it doesn't mean that you need a million eyes looking at it. OpenSSL while necessary, isn't a big program.
Almost every Unix/Linux command line user uses the cat command. How many people do you think you will need to review that?
The issue that I find, is that OpenSSL is the only Open Source Player out there. Much like File Systems, we really should have at least a few popular choices, which are interchangeable. So if there is a security problem with one we can switch to an other one.
IE won the browser war, but failed to meet the objectives.
During the 1990's that big browser war between IE and Firefox, Millions of dollars pushed to a free (as in beer) web browser, so they can obtain dominance, and use this dominance to push their standards, to keep people locked in.
Microsoft won the war... However they never got a food hold on pushing the standards, the Web Standards seemed to move around them, not threw them. Things like Active X which was suppose to be the killer feature in IE, had became a major security problem, thus only used by poorly designed intranet apps. Then when AJAX+CSS 2 became popular and implemented for all other browsers it came to a point where you are better off not using IE, for your experience.
Sure some time the author gets lucky and their idea becomes reality. But for the most part Faster then light travel, time travel, cross dimensional shifting, bigger on the inside, super intelligent computers and robots. (Aka almost every Dr. Who Plot line) is used as a way to keep us entertained. The closest to a real sci-fi matching possibility. would be a generational ship where the ship will take thousands of years to get to its destination, where most days will be humdrum boring, just running maintenance on the air scrubbers, making sure that the craft is self contained and running. Sure their may be some story with human interaction... But that is about it. Probably the most exciting thing when they get to an other planet, is finding some slime... It doesn't kill them it might stain their shirt. First it is boring, and really doesn't help us to think about the world differently. That is why they have Smart Robots, Enemies who are so different then us, that the fact you are different race just doesn't matter any more...
Often the Nerds/Geeks are often classified with the same group of people with other issues, such as autism, and ADHD. In general conditions that make the person not quite fit into culture. This is different then the Nerd/Geek who is very interested in some particular areas, that isn't the same as what everyone else is interested in. Band Geeks, Computer Geeks, Comic Book Geeks... Jocks are Sports Geeks, but our society says that is an Ok obsession.
But people with these issues are added to the same group, they will often hang out with the other geeks, just because we are accepting of their particular quarks.
However some people who are part of the culture have dangerous quarks, for example they try to fit in, because they see a negative aspect of the popular kid, and tries to emulate the negative aspect. Oh look the cool kids curse , so I should curse too, but I will do it with more gusto so I will be cooler. They pick up the negative aspects and get use to them and becomes part of them. Thus they learn anti-social behaviors in an attempt to be more social.
That doesn't help if your Starter Home costs 50-100k more then it does 20 miles away. Or the community has knocked down all the starting homes as they are lowering property values. It isn't about getting a fancy home when your are young, but getting a decent one. Now if more people move away from the good school areas when their kids leave, vs using their new found extra income to convert their modest home into a more luxurious home, that means the next generation who has kids can move into the area and get a nice starting home to build their family with.

Why do we need to employee a person if the civic engagement is good enough to help solve the problems without them.
