> What I object to is you calling Ubuntu a hobbled experience. I might be wrong, but I think he's talking about a future in which Canonical is forced to remove features from Ubuntu…

I'm glad they got rid of the useless devices page. The previous version only listed some of the supported devices and most of them were several years old. The new link takes you di…

For any phone I would recommend buying the digitizer/lcd combined. It's such a pain to separate the two (on phones where it's even possible) and only slightly more expensive.

Here's a good time killer (I think I got all of the domains in there): https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=hidden%20features%20of...

Their main feature is privacy, so if news came out that they were actually tracking users, it would pretty much destroy the business. Given that, it would make @yegg really vulnera…

There's also http://pyvideo.org which you can search for security-related topics. I doubt they are as dense and comprehensive as the SecurityTube course, but they are free.

For (software) patents, I don't think regular people will care until they start hearing about jobs going to other countries because entrepreneurs can't deal with the legal costs. R…

I can't think of a good reason to use NetBSD [1] over Linux [2] for any architectures that Linux supports. I guess licensing is an issue for some companies. If there's another reas…

It's available to new accounts.

I usually use they , but now that I think about it, I'm going to start using s/he . It's the same number of characters as they and you can just pronounce it like she when reading i…

The author only mentioned emails written in the last week (from the date of the article). From the Gmail help site: "Please be aware, residual copies of deleted messages and accoun…

Gnome-keyring doesn't have many dependencies, so you can run it with any desktop environment or window manager. Recent versions of Xfce have built-in support for loading it at logi…

I recently switched to Emacs and started learning it by going through the tutorial (C-h t). Near the end of the tutorial, it refers you to the Emacs manual which uses info (C-h r).…

It does sound insane to have so many packages, but it also follows Fedora's policy of staying as close to upstream as possible. The entire package building process is automated sin…

My favorite interesting packaging choice is TeX Live in Fedora 18 [1]. There are about 4500 texlive-* packages (out of around 35000 binary packages in Fedora total). The packagers …

You establish a random circuit through the Tor network when you first connect. Even if the NSA is analyzing every packet between every node, they're not going to be able to disting…

I think I captured the essence of my geocities/tripod/etc experience... http://ramige.neocities.org I really like this and I'll probably use it for something real.

I don't think the entire usefulness of Bitcoin is related to staying anonymous as it's actually pretty hard to stay anonymous when using Bitcoin. Also, wouldn't the government need…

"DuckDuckGo gets its results from over one hundred sources, including DuckDuckBot (our own crawler), crowd-sourced sites (like Wikipedia, which are stored in our own index), Yahoo!…

I like Disconnect (I only found it a few days ago), but I'm trying to find out more technical information about what it does without having to look through the code on GitHub. Basi…
