I would have bought an OpenMoko phone too, if they'd you know, supported America. Another Euro-networks-only Linux phone isn't gonna help us at all over here though.
Who'd bother making a Linux phone for America? Americans are sheep who worship at the altar of apple.
(True story -- my first N900 was bought by a friend in NY as it was cheaper in dollars than in Euros -- smart move, Nokia).

Clue: the majority of non-business owners support things like a minimum wage, health and safety protection, etc.
I'd guess that in most civilised countries the vast majority of business owners support those things.
Never forget that the welfare state was invented by Otto von Bismark, not exactly a lefty eat the rich kind of a guy.
58 years old now, started in IT in 1977.
Why stop?
One way to avoid the "nobody will hire old guys" problem -- be the boss.
It runs an entire OS with programs and stuff.
It runs Minix.
Yes, 2017 is the year of Minix on the Desktop.
Tannenbaum wins -- more PCs will be running Minix that Linux soon. He was right -- microkernels are the wave of the future.
Linus's last refuge will be Android.
I don't think it's preposterous to point out the shortcomings of FOSS.
Your main complaint about FOSS is that it doesn't make it easy to run proprietary closed source software. Maybe you are aiming at the wrong target?
given all of the unnecessary, arbitrary dependencies on it.
If the dependencies are unnecessary then they should be pretty easy to fix, yes?
but the playing field is not even.
The playing field is exactly as even as a Luxembourg/Germany world cup qualifying match.
Don't worry, the others are moronic too.
I viewed RHEL 4, RHEL 5, and RHEL 6 with excitement,
You need to get out more.
The idea that "binary, in a documented format" means "encrypted" is pretty weird. What exactly does the AC think text files are?
And, let's be clear here, init was always shit too. I had numerous problems back in the 1990s with it if, say, a key service couldn't be started.
It wasn't init that was shit, it was sysvinit (i.e. all the crap under /etc/init.d and /etc/rc?.d) that was shit.
Poor old init(1) didn't have a chance, buried under piles of crapulous /bin/sh scripts.
My first calls usually start at 8 am as I'm driving to the office.
Scum.
Without backups all data is stored in /tmp
Oh, yes, rapes happen in Europe.
What the fuck that has to do with Angela Merkel I can't imagine you pathetic little nazi apologist.
I will buy any phone that is small and thick and robust ( like they all used to be ) rather than big and thin and fragile ( like they all are now ).
Make it so !
Wanna buy a N900? I ave a couple of spares.
There is only one Linux distro that allows you free choice of the init system -- Debian works with systemd, upstart, openrc, or sysvinit.
You are seriously confused. The only phone that uses a Debian based distro uses upstart, not systemd.
The phone that uses systemd is RPM based, not deb/apt based.
(Personally, I'd take systemd over upstart any day).
I used my Nokia N900 on US EDGE networks -- worked quite well.

Ah, so neither my N900 nor my Sailfish 1 actually exist -- that's good, means I'll be carrying less in my pocket from now on.
How is setting up concentration camps worse than letting in rapists loose on the local population?
How is something that really happened and killed millions worse than something that didn't happen?
Hello Mr Trump.
We want to know how badly Durex was affected.
I'd apply this to all people who post on Facebook.
As anyone who studied at UEA knows the real work of the John Innes centre is triffid research.
All I see is unfiltered liberal vomit.
Bannon and Scaramucci are liberals now?
There is a bug refreshing your Kerberos ticket when unlocking the screen in Gnome 3.22.
Obviously only affects people using Kerberos.
That's the problem I've run into with Stretch so far.
