I think/hope it will be some of those "chinese phones" which is quite interesting. Even the big ones of them like Huawei, make really good phones for good prices. Thats why I did not understand the hype about this Motorola th

PS2, Dreamcast had online games. From what I read some of them can even be played.

I miss Playstation 1/2 days, where you just insert disc and play. No install, no online registration, no social sharing whatnot crap, endless downloading, paying for services you don't need/want.

I am gonna pull a Stallmann here and say it does matter how you are introduced to coding or even computers in general. I know a few younger people which are "educated" through this whole company driven, web-service addicted and go

Seriously stop make these accusations without any proof. Where is the hostility? Just because there are a lot of white males™ doesn't mean there is hostility against other people.

If you are worried about this, just save your passwords outside your browser with a password safe like KeePass. Of course this doesn't protect you if your whole system gets compromised. And if you are worried about Google spying, why y

Because there are parts of the driver (from 3rd party providers too) which contain patented stuff. So they don't want to expose this. S3TC is one famous example. Thats the only reason (apart from some company specific politics).

Thats why I avoid flying in the US/stopping there. I often visit Central America and just take the flight which don't go through US territory. I had some incidents with us customs too, those guys are nuts. If they want, they put y

Because php is widely used to make absolute ugly garbage. It may not be the language itself, but a lot of people saying: "hey I can write 10 lines of terrible php crap which somehow kinda works, I am web dev now!". There are tons

Huawei makes pretty good (Android) phones in that price range too, if you spend ~250 you get a "high end" (spec wise) one. From what I can tell, their build quality is good too.

You have to work with white-lists, not black-list when dealing with such high numbers of shitty apps. In theory this should be done by the app store provider, just let in non-malicious software.

I tried it with, I think, 13.04 and you could see they need people testing it. For a raw Gnome distro Fedora is the better choice.

People use default Ubuntu with Unity? From what I see, most people use a variant (X/L/K) of it and those are really well put together without (most) of the Canonical crap.

There are >4000 known bugs in the kernel. They would be probably busy fixing just the significant ones until "4.0" when just doing bugfixing. The easiest thing to do is to report to the bugtracker of your distro and see.

The only real bloat I know are vendor specific programs that come for free with certain hardware. I don't know who writes such shit sotware. From the HP Windows driver suite (not the driver itself but all those useless programs which c

GM vehicles are also very US focused. There is nobody who drives a Chevrolet or something here. Don't forget they bought Saab and basically ruined the brand within a couple of years with poor quality and no innovation.

Since Ubuntu is just "let's sync repos from debian testing every 6 months and add our own crap" just use debian testing. You even get rolling release. Btw, I know nobody who uses standard Ubuntu. Everyone uses some variant li
