The best one is the one the person uses you are going to ask for help. e.g. if you have a cow orker that uses Debian, and he is somebody that will be helping you, use Debian.
When I started I had nobody to ask and Google did not exist yet, so what I did was try out several of the large distributions at the time and the one I likes/Worked was S.u.S.E. (Now openSUSE).
So take a weekend and try out several of them. If you can not make a weekend available, you won't like changing OS and you will be a User (nothing wrong with that), not an admin on your own machine. Ask why you want to move to Linux and find a pre-installed system or let somebody else install it. As you won't tinker with your system, but just have it working, that would be the best solution.
The more important question is if you want KDE, Gnome or XFCE. And when you have decided on that, look at how to install new software and how upgrades are done.
I like YaST from openSUSE, because it is consitant for a lot of different things, not just installing software. You can also easily install XFCE, Gnome and KDE at the same time at the beginning to check them out.
I dislike Ubuntu for the main reason of how they handle root situations. Yes, I know you are able to change it, I just don't like how they treat it as default.
What are the reasons for an ISP to do IPv6? People still can go to Google with IPv4, so no reason there. Not enough people will change provider over this, so no incentive there. They are now able to ask extra money for a fixed IP address, because IP addresses are scarce, even though this would mean that you can't get an IP address instead of not getting a fixed one. They would need to invest and that is never a nice thing to do. They need to replace a lot of hardware or at least reconfigure it and that will cost money. Also an extra layer that can fail, so extra cost.
In all this I do not really see a reason for a provider to move to IPv6, besides the 'It is a cool thing to do' type of thing. As a business I would also be against it.
I hope I am wrong and somebody can tell me a lot of advantages that would make them money, save them money or a combination of both.
I use my landline only for ADSL. I have had it for 10 years or so. I have NO idea what that number is. And that is a current number that is in use. And at one point I tried out dozens of free email account services. Pretty sure some of these exist, but I have no idea if they do or not. And I do not even know if I have an email account with my provider. Probably is in the package, but no idea what the adress would be.
In Belgium it can only be used for improving the road safety. That means e.g. adding a roundabout. It does NOT mean maintanance or other road works. Nothing done? Then the city does not get to keep the monies.
Same with "saving money" in many cases.e.g. people who say they saved 2USD for running after a bus. They are stupid and should run after a taxi and "save" a lot more.
Just sit an watch Argentina, Greece, and for that matter the whole Western Europe as it faces mass immigration!
WTF? You have no idea what you are talking about. I am not saying there are or are not issues, but they are not related to socialism. Comparing Greece with e.g. Sweden or Germany because socialism, means you do not understand that correlation isn't the same as causation.
I could say that this happens because the governments are mainly white males. And no, socialism is not about a government replacing the community. It is a government that is PART of that community. You could say 'by the people, for the people' if you like. And yes, that is it in an ideal situation that will never exist, just like any other ideal.
What you should get is laws that are made with the people in mind. This means e.g. less working hours, paid holidays. It does not mean you can't start your own company or be self employed. But don't be surprised when people tell you that they work to live and not live to work.
If that means that I have a smaller car (I don't even have a car) or a smaller house, because I have to pay for others to get healthcare and an education, so be it. Because if I have to work less I would like spend time with people who also work less. And I like to have a government with laws that reflect that.
Why would he not be blatant about his lies? We have had almost everybody hear lying about a lot of things and nothing came of it once they where caught.
I steal a cookie. Mom askes if I did and I lie. Nothing happens. I steal another one and mom sees it and asks and I lie. Nothing happens. I take another one and my mom sees it and I tell her while looking at the video recording that I did not and nothing happens. I could just take the cookie and say that I did and nothing happens.
As long as there are no consequences, there is no motivation to alter what I am doing.
I might start telling the truth instead of lying, because it is easier and I would still take the cookies. Not because it is the right thing to do.
No, not even that. Not even if it would save the life of me and my puppy. I do not need a nanny. If I die, so be it. Do not open the door a little bit. Keep it firmly shut.
Not sure if it is the case in the US, but where I live, I can not sign away my rights to file a lawsuit if I wanted to and my life depended on it. "Be he SAID he wouldn't sue." would be laughed at so hard in court and would make you guilty almost by default.
So statisticaly speaking, who will have the better lawers? And if the outcome can go both ways, will the individual risk his livelyhood on that bet? And then just at the moment BigCorp starts to loose, they settle out of court.
Your best friend is a lawer and he will get out on top either way.
To me, out of court settlements should not mean that the case should be dropped.
Instead of doing 'Open Tractor', and 'Open SUV' and 'Open Fridge' and... what needs to be done is a change in law. Step 1. Make EULA like these illegal Step 2. Make the interface available Step 3. Opensource the code
Uber is a taxi company. Hurting people is not a prank. Alternate truth is lies. And these are ads.
I realy would like to walk up to them and put my knee with force into their balls and place my fist on their face several times with force and place my boot in their liver when they are on the ground. It is not an assault, it is a valuable life lesson. Why won't they see the difference?
People will point out that this is what happened in Brussels. Only partly true. The check lines are and where behind pilons that would have prevent them from getting near the Belgian TSA people. They did it in the check-in hall and in the Metro Station (Idiots even did it in the wrong Metro station, but that is besides the point) There now is a pre-check before you enter the airport. Not everybody is being checked.
I will take/. as an example. It loads ads of different size and loads them in two times and so slow that I often click on an add by accident. No, I am unable to install an adblocker. Yes, I know it is stupid my company allows me to surf/. and does not block ads, but why would they? This leads me to my second point.
When there are ads with some hacking in it, websites say they are not responsible. I think they should be. I am not saying that the ad syndicates should not be responsible. I say that if you host content YOU should be responsible as well. And that will include using an Iframe that pulls content from an unknown source.
So what if I do not have the key to a safe in my posession anymore? I lost the key. Same applies here. You can not hand over something that you don't have.
If this is allowed to stand, we now have the way for someone/anyone to send you an encrypted file (email/cookies), that will then get you found in contempt of court as you are unable to prove you can't unlock it.

Next, are they going to waterboard him for the passwords?
If he remembers it then it does not mean he knows it know. If he does not give it, it does not mean he doesn't know it. Perhaps he knows and he doesn't give it. Perhaps he really doesn't know. That is also the reason torture is a shit way of investigating people.
I know I have forgotten essential passwords and lost data due to it. It is one of the reasons I DON'T use HD encryption.
Parking meters where I live will give out a dual ticket. Part of it for under the windshield, put for you to take with you. You ill also have 15 minutes of free parking. There is also an app you could use and you can also send an SMS when you park and another one when you get back and they will charge your operator. (That is how I pay my bus as well)
Mercator Projection was used to find direction (not distance) at sea. From Wikipedia "It became the standard map projection for nautical purposes because of its ability to represent lines of constant course, known as rhumb lines or loxodromes, as straight segments that conserve the angles with the meridians."
I am not buying anything from them anymore due to the spam they (or their resellers) are sending me.
I have my own domain and have a different mail address per website. e.g. ebay.com@example.net That way I can see if the email is really coming from that company or if the email was given to somebody else. In the years I use this system, the ONLY company that I have caught is Ebay.
So I killed the account and won't buy from them anymore.
Yes, I know I have probably not deselection a non-opt-in denial of not sending the emails or whatever they wrote. They knew what they where doing. When I deselected it, the resellers already had by email and I started to receive emails from others as well. If they are unable to keep my Email private, I am not sure how they can do so with the rest, so I voted with my wallet.
In Belgium when there are more than 50 employees, you need to have employees be a union representative. When the company has less than 50, this is not an obligation. Some will try to keep their numbers at 49. That said, you can join a union, the moment you are 18, regardless if you work or not. I am almost sure that you can lie about being in a union. It is none of their business anyway
Non of the companies I have done job interviews have ever asked it. And thise who hired me also never asked, because it never came up. Wait, 1 did, because THEY paid the fee.
The reason I joined a Union is because they pay out your unemployement benefits from day 1, instead of needing to wait several months (I had once wait 9 months) for the money. Joined the day I got fired.
I have the choice to be a union member or not and nobody cares, just like they do not care if I am a member of the local theatre group or not.
