You're not allowed to collect trash from roadside in Finland. That requires a 2-day training for roadside safety pass which costs ~150€. Sad part is, I'm not joking.
You may not be joking, but you also should take all the trending social media stories with a grain of salt. That is not to say there wouldn't be too much bureaucracy in Finland, hell yes there is.
Another alternative is to use an Xperia phone/tablet (at least Z2 onwards, don't know about Z1) with GCM10 (a phone/tablet mount that wraps around the controller) and a DS4. Supposedly you can get this to work generally on rooted Android devices as well, not sure about connecting wirelessly to the DS4. It works reasonably well, and obviously you have all the buttons you'd have while playing PS4 regularly. Slight caveat though, I've never got it reliably to work when both the phone and console are connected to the same WLAN, the PS4 has to be wired. My upstream is so pathetic that I haven't even tried streaming via Internet, but apparently it can work too.
In principle, I agree with you. In practice, hell no. Sure, it'd be nice to have native apps. On the other hand, we're talking about a platform whose penetration is probably measured in fractions of a percentage. If app developers neglect even WP, which has a market share measured in some percentages, why would they develop native apps for Sailfish? Hint: they won't. Thus, the only viable "enter strategy" is to have an emulation layer for a relatively popular platform. Android is the obvious choice, but it could be as well (barring technical limitations) iOS or WP. Or they could go Blackberry - scratch that, they emulate Android already.
As a former N900 (which ran Maemo, which became Meego and would later be known as Sailfish) user, I really would hope it takes off. The multitasking (even in Maemo, I should assume it is better in later incarnations) is still miles better than what Android offers. Having said that, I admit being somewhat "tied" to the Android ecosystem as it is, so good Android emulation would be a requirement (and I have no idea how well Sailfish does this as of now).
I have to ask, have you actually ever lived in an EU country? Sure, there is the bureaucracy to get around, depending on the country. But there is not a single EU country where (despite what the populists will have you believe) one could effectively say "fukkit, I'm going to get provided by the government". If there were, there'd be not such a large Roma population begging in the streets during the summer, or they'd be rather stupid for not getting all that TLC from the government. As it is (this coming from a perspective of a Finn), the Roma remain a fringe. If it would be so easy for them to apply for social security, one would assume they'd do just that. Yet, they continue to beg (and to do various other crime, but I digress). Funny that, given that the EU should provide them no matter where they come from.
Might be that things are different now, but when I lived in Germany at the turn of the millennium, an EU citizen could be a "prospective employer" (that is, unemployed and looking for work) in another EU country for three months, after which one has to follow some local rules. At the time in Germany that meant getting a health insurance. Which, actually, was not that cheap. (Which also incidentally was the reason I got married - suddenly my health insurance, as I was working, covered my girlfriend as well, and my taxes dropped like 10%. Why not? So I guess you can say I got married for money. Once we left Germany the incentive to remain married didn't exist anymore.)
Most everything has gone downhill since then, with many sites today even refusing to let you resize text and photos (the formatting gets messed up if you try).
Actually, with "responsive design" being all the rage nowadays (Google has started to downrank sites in mobile search that aren't responsive, AFAIK Bing does/will do the same), that is getting less true every day. Now, that doesn't mean responsive design is a magical answer to everything; too often tablet size and/or landscape mode is neglected, and no matter how careful one is, there might be breakage with a combination of browser X and resolution Y. But we're getting there.
And right now trying to sell off HERE, if you haven't been keeping up with the news. At the moment it seems a consortium of German auto manufacturers is the likeliest buyer.
Admittedly I don't follow the stock market so closely, or at all - but at what point did Goldman Sachs become a German and/or French company? You know, the ones that helped the Greek government become a part of EMU/Euro, which they never should have been a part of?
Not any kind of debt, but only the part that was fradulently imposed on Greece (Goldman Sach bonds, military over-expending and other fraudulent contracts).
You are saying this as if these were somehow imposed upon the Greek. There were other players, sure, but it takes two to tango.
I think that 2TB is currently the largest 2.5" drive. The system apparently supports up to 6TB, and I guess some people have done it with cable extensions to 3.5" drives, or something.
There's at least one semi-external enclosure, that replaces the HDD cover with a slightly taller version that one can fit a 3.5" drive in. But according to reviews, it seems to perform worse than the stock drive (at least with a 3TB drive), so I'm not sure that's advisable - games probably assume that the HDD works at least as fast as the stock one.
O RLY? As a Finn you see them frequently in the commenting section of any popular newspaper website. If the article is about Russia, the shills will be there. Very amusing to see the exact same comment, word to word, posted at the same time by two different "people".
If that is your criteria, then perhaps Arch shouldn't count either - sure, it is not a source-based distro (the only package I compile frequently is Firefox, and that is due to it being the KDE-friendly fork, kudos to OpenSUSE for that), but still very much bleeding edge. Remarkably stable at that, but comparable to to Debian Unstable.
Oh, I'm not saying Arch Wiki is infallible (although, it is correct pretty much the whole time). I was just looking for rationalization to discard or not to discard. As a personal anecdote, this Zenbook has been running discard since day 1 (24GB SSD and 500GB HDD, discard on the first drive only of course) - the OS partition (the 24GB drive, ext4) is still spanking fast. Although, it has never been close to running out of space (/var is on the HDD).
There's very little good reason to use 'discard' on Linux
Care to elaborate on that? My bible says that discard is the first choice, fstrim when that isn't applicable for whatever reason. Bear in mind that I use Linux mostly as a desktop OS, so whatever caveats there may be in server use do not affect me.
Have you tried installing Kscreen? You should probably find it for whatever distribution you are using. It seems to be good at remembering different external monitor settings, just plug in the cable and you're good to go.
OK, let us switch kitchen refurbishing for marriage. Then consider the following:
Since anti-discrimination laws protect PEOPLE but not EVENTS, someone who will serve ginger people, but not participate in ginger events, would probably do OK in court.
Tell me, how is that rational? Unless some religions are indeed more equal than others.
Right. So, suppose I'm a member of a religion, and the religion has a whole two mentions of gingers in the holy texts, but no mention of them relating to home improvement; you are saying I couldn't downright refuse service to gingers, but I could refuse to refurbish their kitchen? Because that just seems quite retarded.
(If you think this analogy is not apt, please show me the passage in the Bible condemning gay marriage.)

Or in the meantime get a VPN. I feel my Netflix subscription is much more justified with a VPN, even accounting for the monthly fee for the VPN.
