Repeal the Patriot Act and these problems go away.

Cellphone recycling is easy, give your old cellphone to a local hacker or donate to a cause or sell it for chump change on ebay.craigslist. It's the greedy that squirrel it away in a drawer for 8 years and then throw them in the trash that cause the most harm.
Except for the Cellphone RF section and the Battery, those are still thick and not flexible so that you can have more than 30 minutes talk time and a range larger than 200 meters...
Advances in battery tech and RF tech have not increased to the point where the claims of this "phone" can be a reality as a real product.
Once the get a Li-Polymer battery that will not 1, Explode and 2, survive repeat flexing plus that pesky power capacity issue dealt with along with elimination of the need for any heat dissipation for the RF section along with significantly improved receiver sensitivity and transmitter efficiency... It's just a demo of vapor ware.
Just because someone goes to college does not mean they are smart. My daughter has friends in college that are brain-dead stupid. She calls them Liberal Arts students... These are the same people that forget their combination to a lock and the password they use daily for 5 weeks straight.
Hell I have a Sister in Law that has 3 Masters Degrees and she can not keep a car from rolling over. 5 rollovers in 3 years. 3 of them in the summer/spring months on dry pavement.

this works for existing setups. I have a brand new laptop here that sound and the webcam work under 11.04 but will not work under 10.10... this laptop is forced to run 11.04 unless I want to manually backport all the required packages from 11.04 to 10.10
Or I could try Fedora, Fedora seems to be more friendly to adding drivers and libraries to older releases than Ubuntu is.
it's also a not easy to find configurable option. no "use this as your DEFAULT session" checkbox. you have to choose it every time you log in OR find the obscure and now really hard to find configuration program to set it as the default.

butons in the middle that run away from you are great when you get used to it. Why should I get used to it? Honestly it's silly to force your users into doing something that is the opposite from every other OS made.
God I hope not because Gnome 3 is not ready for prime time as well. It's nice but in terms of polish it's back 10 years to where you have to configure it by hand. That's an epic fail.
and both unity and Gnome 3 forgot that people have laptops so their management of backlight and sleep functions all got flushed out the toilet. I'm back to Laptop annoyances from 5 years ago.
Unity and Gnome 3 are early alpha releases and NOT ready for use by users as a stable release.
Sending HD quality family videos is easier on a USB drive. Most decent players have a USB plug and play AVCHD from a thumb drive perfectly. I'd never waste the time to author a BD-ROM and the freaking menu that is required. make the movie and ship it on a el-cheapo 1 gig stick.
And yes , if you home movie is over 1 gig, it's too long.
7.1 surround on a XBMC box running linux was easy as pie. Why do you windows people have so much trouble with surround? does windows try and block it? you should just pass through the digital audio to the Surround decoder in the amp.
"BD-ROM happens to be the modern spinny disk format."
no it's not. DVD is. BD-ROM is the spinny disk format for Movies. it's not for software. Software is sold on DVD, Dual Layer DVD, and CDROM. the only use for BD-ROM is DRM encrusted movie playback.
Yes it is. when you have a very light object that changes it's dynamics. a several ton space station will have a far different drag profile for reentry than a 2 ounce flat plate. It's why there is still a ton of paint chips, bolts, and MIR parts still in orbit. Tangential forces from skipping along the atmosphere can bounce something back out into a different trajectory.
http://www.pfsense.org/ if you want gobs and gobs of plugins and features. it's a fork of Monowall with more plugin support.
NOTE: some people consider plugins to be evil for a firewall. I find having to run 3 servers for a home network to be silly. So I run pfsense with a gajillion plugins for the features I want and a fileserver/app server on the inside.

Call me when it's got AC3 7.1 surround sound calling. I need that when in a conference call.

Big bad lifer prisoner is a big pussy when it comes to even 50 bees. they cry like little girls.

Just verified, yes it is broken if you do an upgrade form 10.10 to 11.04. so you need to do a full clean install to get it to work right.

Only if you hate the ease of use and wonderful useability of XBMC.
No it wont. Anyone that did an upgrade from 10.10 will not have it remember it.
So to make it easier, you make it harder to find any of the config utilities?
sorry, but it forces you to do that at EVERY login. epic fail that it does not store your choice until it is changed again.
it's also a not easy to find configurable option. no "use this as your DEFAULT session" checkbox. you have to choose it every time you log in OR find the obscure and now really hard to find configuration program to set it as the default.

News flash....
Blu Ray is AVCHD or H.264 and mpeg2
BluRay is a media format not a video format.

Wait, is there a different definition of cracker?
I used to use DD-WRT or Tomato, but I wanted a faster router/firewall with more features. so I built a Mini ITX router with the following.....
http://www.ipcop.org/ - a great high end firewall package.
