I'm sure some resourceful people will figure out how to fork a linux distro and apply their own non-Orwellian touches to it.
Oh wait, they already have.
There's your answer.
It amazes me that people in charge of projects like Ubuntu think that a policy like that won't have a significant impact on the popularity of the distro over the long term, especially with heavily slanted tech crowd that uses Linux distros in the first place.

"Upgrading the largest bottleneck for game performance can substantially improve your playing experience!"
Whether or not it's worth doing is another matter, but anyone who's built their own computer or even reads websites like tom's hardware or benchmarking sites knows this.
No, gun ownership is not an inalienable right. Per DC v Heller it is eminently restricted, as current laws indicate. What you endorse is wholeheartedly against current legal precedent.
And you're full of shit:
497,646 incidents occurred in which the intruder was seen and reportedly scared away by the firearm.

You do not know what you're talking about when it comes to guns. That much is painfully obvious.
Only if you're someone incapable of removing registry entries. Someone who knows enough to use acutenix is going to know how to do that. Were you even being serious?
Now it means you a) don't know what a right is and b) don't really know what you're talking about. This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read on slashdot:
"And their weapons are probably stored in their bedside tables, fully loaded, just waiting to be stolen and used by someone who didn't pass a background check."
FTA: " As for why they haven't released the client, it's come down to "targeting a specific version of the platform" with Linux being "unstandardized" due to the many different distributions."
Just do what valve does. I mean I'm not going to be playing WoW, but millions do.
People leave phones and other electronics on the hundreds of millions of flights that happen every year. No crash has been associated with it. You're just spreading FUD.
When EMT Labs put an Amazon Kindle through a number of tests, the company consistently found that this e-reader emitted less than 30 microvolts per meter when in use. That’s only 0.00003 of a volt.
“The power coming off a Kindle is completely minuscule and can’t do anything to interfere with a plane,” said Jay Gandhi, chief executive of EMT Labs, after going over the results of the test. “It’s so low that it just isn’t sending out any real interference.”
But one Kindle isn’t sending out a lot of electrical emissions. But surely a plane’s cabin with dozens or even hundreds will? That’s what both the F.A.A. and American Airlines asserted when I asked why pilots in the cockpit could use iPads, but the people back in coach could not. Yet that’s not right either.
“Electromagnetic energy doesn’t add up like that. Five Kindles will not put off five times the energy that one Kindle would,” explained Kevin Bothmann, EMT Labs testing manager. “If it added up like that, people wouldn’t be able to go into offices, where there are dozens of computers, without wearing protective gear.”
Yes it has and no it's not nearly enough to affect the plane.
Indiana's privatized BMV actually improved it a million times (subjectively rated by me) after it was privatized. Of course it was strictly overseen and there were stringent penalties for non compliance, but it worked.
Read the fucking article:

Bill Ruck, principal engineer at CSI Telecommunications, a firm that does radio communications engineering, added: “Saying that 100 devices is 100 times worse is factually incorrect. Noise from these devices increases less and less as you add more.”
No, no it's not. If that were the case then people wouldn't be allowed to read books and magazines during the pre-flight briefing. Quit spreading FUD and read the linked article FFS
Jesus, check out the linked NYT article and save yourself some embarrassment.
"The F.A.A. then told me that “two iPads are very different than 200.” But experts at EMT Labs, an independent testing facility in Mountain View, Calif., say there is no difference in radio output between two iPads and 200. “Electromagnetic energy doesn’t add up like that.

You don't have to download and install the updates every time you boot up. Here are the 4 options:
1) Install updates automatically
2) Download updates and let me choose to install
3) Check for updates but let me choose to download and install
4) Do not download or check for updates automatically
That would be true except both A and B are still false. Bring a big hardback book on the plane and read it during the announcements and takeoff. No one will say a word to you and it's both "distracting" and large enough to become a dangerous flying object.

It's pretty clear if you are literate and can read past a 4th grade level.
People stopped buying dual cores around 2007? Maybe you missed all the current computers with Core i3s and Core i5s?

There are 8 million CCWs in the States per last ATF estimate. Most of those are *not* former LEOs.

Feel free to release your testing then. Surely you have some to back up your assertions...

So spend more money on your computers and Linux will "just work" people!
This bill would only affect the current group of legislatures. That's why it is two years
