On a slightly different note concerning privacy:

How much more of this will we take before enough people demand privacy again? What event has to happen? On our phones, applications can't even be downloaded until monitored and approved by the corporation (one step further than this). Our desktops have been moving in this direction for some time already.

Probably when actual privacy issues surface, not this "zOMG Microsoft collects a hash and IP!" nonsense. Between crash dumps, the CEIP, and other downloads directly from their site, this is a complete and total non-issue.

Linux from Scratch. Build it for the ones you love.

Why would I need to build LFS to get privacy? If my only purpose is privacy it's a ludicrous amount of work.

It sucks but the why is clear: because it's becoming the only way to get it (for some definition of "from scratch" ofc).

Even that may not be enough: http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2007/04/15/strange-loops-de...

That was a very interesting and funny read! Thanks!
