Really? Let me prove you wrong with a telephone handset, a pair of roach clips, a single Philips screwdriver and superficial knowledge of how a telephone works.
Really? When was the last time Microsoft actually did anything for the users? This is just the latest layer of chrome and bling so they can justify charging you a hundred bucks for the same shit that they sold you for a hundred bucks the last 7 times around.
The indian tribes fixed that for themselves. Single-payer elections. Everyone gets the same amount of money from the tribal nation government, and aren't allowed to privately fund-raise for their political campaigns. It really levels the playing field.
When has that happened in my life? Remember, the Democrats are a conservative party. Bernie Sanders is the only non-conservative member of the house or senate.
Rather than arguing that America should encourage profiteering on infrastructure, perhaps you should move someplace where it's all about the profiteering and quit holding us back. Like Somalia, Zimbabwe or Nigeria.
...that the US will remain a first world country in terms of internet access yet. Now if we could only fix healthcare accessibility. And college accessibility. And income inequality. And the incredible hunger and unemployment rates.
Odds are, sending an email to the webmaster about email issues would get you a "not my job" response in any era. The address you're thinking of is "postmaster," subby.
Never mind it's only a few minutes...Seriously, copy some files to SD card, enter debug mode, run superoneclick, reboot the phone, flash from recovery. Easy peaszy.
Just because it's not using WPA or WEP doesn't mean it's insecure. Many such networks use other end-to-end methods to secure data that needs to be secured, and invites the public in. This is especially common in Oregon, for example.
Which is rarely needed in the first place; with the notable exception of two video drivers (which is a sudo m-a a-i fglrx (or nvidia) away anyway), proprietary drivers aren't needed for the vast majority of quality hardware out there. That said, mark my words, Ubuntu's decision to play fast and loose with redistributing proprietary binaries will come back to burn them the moment the rights owner decides to scream piracy.
Why use Twitter in any language that uses an alphabet (as opposed to a syllabary like Cherokee or ideograms like Japanese and Chinese)? It's barely possible to have a cogent thought in 140 characters, much less have anything resembling intelligent metadata in addition to that.
Those of us that cut our teeth on DOS (or even earlier machines, like a Sinclair or an Apple II or a Commodore) know better.
I'm not sure that's the metaphor you're looking for. DOS was bearskins and stone knives compared to pretty much everything but Windows, which is bearskins and stone knives in pretty neon colors!
Pretty sure that's a distinction with no difference ultimately. Ubuntu has a surprisingly large payroll working for it right now, that probably won't stick around when that paycheck disappears.
I'm probably going to take some flack for this, but here's why I say Debian Stable:
Debian has the most software packages available in the default repositories. If Debian doesn't have it in it's repos, there's a good chance it doesn't exist yet.
Most software developers for Linux (save for a few folks targeting Red Hat Enterprise) run and test on Debian themselves. It's the closest to a "pure" Linux you're going to get without rolling it yourself at this point. Your odds of "it just works" are highest on Debian as a result.
The debian-installer is brutally simple. Ever install Windows? Then you'll be pleasantly surprised that installing an OS can be painless. When in doubt, just hit enter and go with the defaults...it'll work.
Lacks the dirty hipster factor of Ubuntu. If you want Ubuntu, but don't wear skinny jeans, ride a fixie, live in Portland or drink PBR, then you're really looking for Debian.
Software in the Public Interest isn't going anywhere. Canonical could fold at Shuttleworth's whim, and that would leave Ubuntu where?
Try Debian. Mikey likes it, and he hates everything!

The irony in this criticism is that Ordnance Survey isn't open itself, which was the impetus for the creation of OpenStreetMap.
Why not just fix your desktop's MTA so it forwards someplace where it can reach you and the outside world?
I hope Taco Bell puts up a target that, if hit, means everyone in the world gets a free burrito. They did it when Skylab came down.
Depends on whether you hang out with RN nerds or electrical engineering nerds. I've used both.

Also, since when are Microsoft's astroturfers allowed mod points on Slashdot?

I wonder if it's possible to get realistic ground mapping based on OpenStreetMap data.

Call me when there's a liberal in congress other than Bernie Sanders.

It's an indian tribe's name, you insensitive clod!
But it wasn't particularly intelligent or meaningful. So, that doesn't really counter my point at all.

Then you should be suggesting Windows in VMWare on Linux.
