In Russia insurance companies give you deductions if you have such. The camera is always on, and I suppose it overwrites old stuff as it goes. I do not knowhow long the buffer is.
Search from Youtube (e.g. russia car insurance scam).
In Finland, in the unlikely event that the store refuses to fix it for free, you can contact the "kuluttaja-asiamies", i.e. (Consumer) Ombudsman. For free.
If you've never touched a line of code, you're not going to be able to adequately describe your needs to your coder.
Suppose I was to write a GUI for a doctor (search databases, write recipes, keep your mental... I mean health history, etc.). I would not expect him to be able to code. Same for cash register, ATM, car navigation or entertainment,...
Is the PI reliable enough? Unless you mean data collection only, any device connected to home automation, e.g. keeping up the home above zero when you go to vacation on winter must be extremely reliable. I do not think PI is anywhere near, not the HW and not the SW.
1. There are huge number of cool HW from Android phones/tablets to development kits. None of them support Linux nowhere near as well as Windows because it is PITA. 2. The Linux attitude ("which ABI shall we break this week") has been copied to pretty much every other library.
I use (X)Ubuntu 12.4. There is not a day without updates, usually somewhere 10-20 updates per day (mostly not security though).
This has gotten worse, never before has Ubuntu been so bad. If this is a trend, next year I will bee using more time patching my system than using it for work.
Of course greed is part of capitalism. The only reason a company exists is to get as much money as it can, regardless of ethical and moral things. If that is not greed, what the hell is? Of course corruption is too. Why would it not be free market, i.e. "real capitalism", to be able to buy things, like a senator or two? Monopol is the ultimate goal of almost every big company - then it can "rule the world". Cronyism - are you going to tell me who I can employ? Or who can I persuade someone else to employ? You are taking my freedoms away.
You define "real capitalism" the way you want it to be, not the way investment bankers do. Sure I like yours better, but my opinion hardly matters.
"Want to help the environment? Start talking straight."
You know what is the far most biggest problem to the environment? It is not AGW, it is the exponential population growth. There are already several billion too many of us.
Besides, would they have used tenth the time in Linux, Windows, iMacos, or whatnot, they would have found at least twice the amount.
I am extremely disappointed on Linux "security" (i give a shit about W or i). I get several updates every day. This has gotten worse since -90, and is getting much worse extremely fast.
We FUCKING need ABI! We FUCKING need design (and I do not mean kernel alone).
I'd drop the old code 99-100%. Start from top to bottom, document everything and perhaps even use some other, modern, programming language. The resulting code base is almost certainly lot less than 100k lines (+ comments & documentation, depends how you calculate these).
The Nokia culture, back in Ollila time, became "compete with the other projects". At same time too many "yes-men" were brought up the ladder to upper management and the seeds of the disaster were sown.
Too many managers doing too many "yes" decisions[1] and no co-operation[2]...
Blaming Elop is ten years too late. The best people left much earlier. Besides, the current board chose Elop, so they are in the same boat.
[1] That is, nobody made decisions, the decisions were made by faceless "boards" in passive tense. All the changes Elop has done to the management must have been good. [2] If your team did better than the other team you got the bonus. That is why not all the phones got the nice features, just some.
Worst is Firefox and Thunderbird. Why cannot they obey X session? Why cannot they start up in the desktop I would like them to (Ileft them when I restarted).
WHY CANNOT LINUX DESTOP STARTUP AUTOMATICALLY AS I WANT IT? Why is everything randomly placed? I used quite a lot of time putting certain programs to certain desktops. But no, some asshole thinks s/he "knows better".
Currently we do not have any production ready nuclear reactor whose CDF (core damage frequency) is small enough for worldwide nuclear adaptation. Besides, history has shown the calculated CDF to be quite a few order of magnitude smaller than actual, I would never ever trust any number given by nuclear plant companies.
Talking about some future pretty much theoretical systems is a bit silly, renewables are here now and is "good enough" with zero "CDF" (massive fault). Chernobyl and Fukushima cannot be populated for maybe thousands of years (due to "hot particles").
Then there is another angle to that. I would trust (to a degree) a hunter, s/he may have a shotgun. But a guy with a history of violent crimes - definite no.
Yes, somewhat. I think 722 will work flawlessly in 13.04 or so. It took two years for EeePC to work OK in Ubuntu, that is how I got my estimate. The EeePC came with some favour of Linux, can't remember what.
Still my point, stable ABI, stands. It would greatly speed up development (i.e. decrease time for a HW to work *for users*).
1. The keywords are localised, no other programming language I know have this capability. 2. Who cares? The point is not to give access of your source to others, it is to give easier access to the programming language itself to those who do not speak english.
I see this as an interesting idea. Why should I write "if" instead of "jos" (i.e. Finnish)? The latter is easier for Finns to understand and learn, especially if they are very young (or very old).
This myth must go. There is no such thing as 100% Linux compatible hardware.
Changing distro can and does break things. Changing kernel version by the minutest amount can and does break things. Hell, a security fix can and have broken things. I currently have Linux friendly HW (Asus 722) and it has far too many issues (volume up does not work, PXE must be on or machine hangs, wifi hangs on heavy load,...).
I have seen similar drop in crime rate elsewhere - totally unrelated to gun ownership. It seems that the recession has decreased crime rate. I do not know how universal this is. Perhaps people tend to think less about money now? This is hardly a good explanation, though.
None of the Ponzi scheme-makers have ever "known" whether it catches or not. The Ponzi scheme "shares" are only valuable if people are buying them - identical to Bitcoin. The user base is similar to every other Ponzi scheme - it grows exponentially until none of the "shares" have any value. I'd wager each additional Bitcoin adopter experiences bigger risk of losing everything, the bitcoin is about to collapse. Those owning "too much" will sell, soon.

So I think, to put it nicely, that you are wrong.
That is exactly why I despise the idea of pair programming. I said in one interview "if someone else touches my keyboard I go home".
"to connect home automation"
Is the PI reliable enough? Unless you mean data collection only, any device connected to home automation, e.g. keeping up the home above zero when you go to vacation on winter must be extremely reliable. I do not think PI is anywhere near, not the HW and not the SW.
But it might me usable in cars. AFAIK there are already systems which generate electricity from exhaust heat.
Yes it does.

Utter bullshit.

My point is that the warming part of the problem is insignificant compared to all other problems (water, food, migration, war, ...).

You know what is the far most biggest problem to the environment? It is not AGW, it is the exponential population growth. There are already several billion too many of us.
So I'd rather say "start talking gay".
Because it must stay stable to be of any use. When it is stable, it got to be designed, or it won't stay stable.
Besides, would they have used tenth the time in Linux, Windows, iMacos, or whatnot, they would have found at least twice the amount.

I'd do completely opposite.

I think the point is to get into the reality show. Seems that this alone is good enough for some, to become "famous".
This would be most impressive if they were inside Microsoft competing to get out.

Linux really needs more or less stable ABI.
But these are traffic recucing. I bet it means crashing. In a way good, but ...
