These guys had the time, brains and resources available to do a full breakdown of how/dev/random might not be so random.... why not go all the way, submit a patch and fix it?
There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always — do not forget this, Winston — always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.

"a reusable platform consisting of core services, middleware and open application layer interfaces"
Sounds like comp sci wankery. Once marketing, legal and design people get involved it will all be so customized, hacked and extended that none of those concepts will remain true.
I get that we're all busy frolicking with our Raspberry Pis, but any Linux distro on an old PC will do this. There's nothing "Pi" about this. You don't need a new distro for this either. Maybe a handful of shell scripts or some kind of GUI to manage all the bits and pieces would be nice, but this is all a solved problem.
They're not posting meaningless, scale-less graphs showing sub-percent increases in compile times of various linux kernels... they're actually providing value for once. Phoronix is the OSNews of the new millenium.
I'd rather not have my plane controlled by anything Microsoft. If you want to save weight, prohibit fatties from flying or charge them more. I'm sorry navigating a multi-ton airplane at 500+mph is hard... but it is. It's just science.

Nice way to euro-troll. Public transport merely pushes the risk and cost to society. Make it harder for people to get a license, SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO DRIVE. The bus is a non-sequitur.

But the folks in Silicon Valley have the means to at least complain about how bad things are. The rest of the country can't or won't speak up.
No Bluetooth. No USB. But more space than a Nomad. Lame.
But they're only tracking who is talking to whom, so that's ok right? Right?
All this means is that they've implemented the infrastructure needed to intercept and decode your traffic.

You've already lost, because you've qualified the "basic vital records" with the words "basic" and "vital". That's how we got where we are.

Both the light and atmospheric pollution are pretty crappy looking.

Oh right, it's Europe, so you're not personally responsible, you can socialize the risk.
Sure they're not.

You know you can tunnel SSH over proxies, right? And you can tunnel SOCKS over that SSH session?

It's always the way - I do a new install and they release a brand new version.
Are you saying Firewire is dead? Does Netcraft confirm it?

" a company paralyzed by dysfunction, apathy, and indecision from executives at the highest levels."
Can really describe any decent-sized company.
No, we're not cool. You're an asshole.

According to BillyG, Ctrl-Alt-Del is all IBM's fault.
