That's only if you don't use it, or don't have background updates turned on.
only plays media in very specific formats
If you mean it doesn't play your pirated anime MKV's then say so. It does play the following:
Memory Stick Video Format
- MPEG-4 SP (AAC LC)
- H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile (AAC LC)
- MPEG-2 TS(H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, AAC LC)
MP4 file format
- H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile (AAC LC)
MPEG-1 (MPEG Audio Layer 2)
MPEG-2 PS (MPEG2 Audio Layer 2, AAC LC, AC3(Dolby Digital), LPCM)
MPEG-2 TS(MPEG2 Audio Layer 2, AC3(Dolby Digital), AAC LC)
MPEG-2 TS(H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, AAC LC)
AVI
- Motion JPEG (Linear PCM)
- Motion JPEG (μ-Law)
AVCHD (.m2ts /.mts)
DivX
WMV
- VC-1(WMA Standard V2)
As for audio it does WAVE, WMA, AAC, ATRAC and MP3. For images, GIF, JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP and MPO
Alternate OS takes an inordinate amount of time to install
I am quite familiar with installing Linux on a PS3, it depends on the packages you choose to install. It's no longer than any other LInux distro.
Alternate OS pulled as a feature after spending an inordinate amount of time giving it a chance to "own" my living room TV.
If you wanted to keep OtherOS, you could. You have a choice, keep OtherOS, and lose access to PSN because your PS3 isn't running current firmware. Or update. Your choice, and it asks to confirm..twice.
And then go on to proclaim that you shouldn't install Linux with a USB drive plugged in?
Easier to not make a mistake, for example messing up an external media drive's table, if you disconnect it.
As if this broken stupid idiotic default install is somehow a standard that everyone should know about?
Yes, the broken behavior was the default/standard behavior on some distros that people should know about. The default was to use ALL attached storage in a manner the installer thinks is best. Unless of course you manually change it.
It's been a while since I did an install instead of an upgrade so they might have fixed/changed the behavior and/or made it more clear what it was going to be doing.
I have installed openSUSE onto my laptop. Then I removed my secondary HDD, and voila, fstab thusly broke.
Of course it broke, when you installed it probably set up LLVM to use both your drives effectively as ONE filesystem. If you only wanted it to use ONE drive, you would have had to configure it to do so at install time.
This is also why you shouldn't install Linux with any USB storage (other than any install media) plugged in.
Which is why I think teaching "scripting", "scripting languages" and "basic if/then/else/case/for/next/do/while concepts" would be more useful to more people than generalized "programming class with a Java/C based curriculum"

What is this PGP you speak of, my good man?
I have a key and sign all my e-mail, but it is extremely rare for me to even recieve a signed e-mail, other than a few mailing lists. I think I can count the number of times I've actually encrypted a message to someone other than myself for testing, on the fingers of one hand
There's a difference between enforcing a "arrest all the potheads, even for just a few joints" law and enforcing a "kill the religious minority" law.
This Silk road case is about drugs. Suppose I'm in favor of marijuana decriminalization, if I was a cop that doesn't mean I can interpret current drug law that way. I still have to arrest pot users.
Not just TVs, but this is how the Xbox One Kinect works, and the PS4 eye. They are always listening and parsing commands, even in "sleep mode"
That's not quite true. PS4's don't listen in "Rest mode". You can't turn on a PS4 with your voice. Once it's on, it's listening, but does it's recognition of it's limited set of commands on itself (It's got the horsepower). And of course it's recording gameplay and records what you said in the mic just like fraps or OBS would.
If the police hired smart people, they would question laws they are told to enforce and refuse to enforce the ones they thought were unjust... and we cant have that.
If I was an officer of the law, it would be my duty to enforce the law as is, including laws I felt were unjust. If I disagreed with a law, I should work to get it repealed, but until it is repealed, it IS the law.
I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see git://git.gnu.org/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (but I make sure I have no net connection, so that it won't fetch anything else).
I see that cellular phones are very convenient. I would have got one, if not for certain reprehensible things about them.
Cell phones are tracking and surveillance devices. They all enable the phone system to record where the user goes, and many (perhaps all) can be remotely converted into listening devices.
In addition, most of them are computers with nonfree software installed. Even if they don't allow the user to replace the software, someone else can replace it remotely. Since the software can be changed, we cannot regard it as equivalent to a circuit. A machine that allows installation of software is a computer, and computers should run free software.
Nearly every cell phone has a universal back door that allows remote conversion into a listening device. (See Murder in Samarkand, by Craig Murray, for an example.) This is as nasty as a device can get.
From the book Alone Together, by Sherry Turkle, I learned that portable phones make many people's lives oppressive, because they feel compelled to spend all day receiving and responding to text messages which interrupt everything else. Perhaps my decision to reject this convenience for its deep injustice has turned out best in terms of convenience as well.
When I need to call someone, I ask someone nearby to let me make a call. If I use someone else's cell phone, that doesn't give Big Brother any information about me.
Richard Stallman needs to be brought up to spec on what computers are capable of. He's still living in a world where he doesn't experience even a small fraction of what technology has allowed.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
RMS is irrelevant because his opinions are formed by how he computers, and he computes like it was 1964.
He lives in EMACS, which is based on the computing paradigms of TECO. In fact, emacs was originally TECO macros. I believe that this means he doesn't really get how computing has changed and he doesn't really get how the masses do computing, and that his views take away options from users without giving them any in return.
The inline signatures are smaller if you use SHA1, which is not recommended as that Debian fellow stated. Then Slashdot doesn't mess up the formatting, my previous post is butt ugly because I had to switch to HTML formatting to actually post the thing.
If you're using gpg in e-mail you use MIME so it's not an issue.
I know, right? He "looks" like the sort of guy who uses his "autistic spectrum disorder" as an excuse when called on being a jerk, shouts homophobic epithets on Xbox Live and who is an example of the Internet Fuckwad Theory.
Personally I think the neckbeard appearance is how guys like him show conformity with their community. He probably wears some kind of fedora, or cape, or something. In 30 years time he'll look like Alan Cox, or RMS, probably.
Wasn't there some "Famedgod" a member of Anonymous who claimed responsibility for the Sony DDOS? Yep:

Technically it is.

Thanks for the heads up on that, I haven't used putty in a while and I didn't know putty had a tab extension.

there's next to no Linux in gaming consoles.
Well there "was" Linux "on" gaming consoles, though that wasn't those consoles primary OS.
when I primarily use it as a vehicle for a shitload of terminal windows to SSH to the equipment and servers that I have to maintain.
Cue the suspender wearing Unix graybeards: "What, you don't use GNU screen on console?"
Cue the tabbed terminal users: "What, you don't use a tabbed terminal? Who needs multiple terminal windows cluttering things up.
Which is why I think teaching "scripting", "scripting languages" and "basic if/then/else/case/for/next/do/while concepts" would be more useful to more people than generalized "programming class with a Java/C based curriculum"
openjdk
Mojang recommends Oracle Java. Personally I think it runs somewhat better with Oracle Java than openjdk.
the problem may be the open source AMD drivers
Ouch, yeah use the proprietary driver.
About once every four or five hours of play, Minecraft crashes for my kids on my Linux machine. The display becomes completely unresponsive.
Are you running any mods and are you using openjdk or Oracle Java?
both Fedora and Ubuntu have moved towards mobile-oriented GUIs.
Which you don't have to use.

Or of you installed the standard version with gnome 3 you can:
yum group install "Xfce Desktop" or whatever desktop group you want.

There's a difference between:

2. a law that says arrest potheads.
Not the same situation.
While there is an Ethernet over HDMI specification, I haven't seen a TV that supports it.

He hasn't even been on the world wide Web yet because Xorg and any browser is not free enough.
