press release. The bitcoin checkout option is now enabled.

When Linux is used as GNU's kernel, Linux is a part of the GNU operating
system.
No, that's simply not true. Even RMS never claimed this.
Linux replaces a missing component in the GNU Operating system.
Therefore, the operating system as a whole is called Gnu+Linux.
You're misinformed.

You don't need to use BitPay to accept bitcoins. The reason a business would
utilize it is to automate the conversion of bitcoins to a hard and/or more
stable currency while letting the user gain some level of anonymity or
pseudo-anonymity. That said there are other good reasons to accept it
Psychopaths are not, necessarily, people who kill other people. But, are just
people incapable of feeling empathy towards others and who take pleasure out
of seeing other people suffering. (And, not necessarily dying...) Remember
that, if you're the head of a company, you'll need other
Can you change the brightness with the Fn keys? Have you checked out what the
corresponding brightness values are in sysfs. Maybe it doesn't go all the way
for whatever reason but can be manually adjusted.
You can probably find the correct file with
find /sys -name brightness

Yes, I forgot about that.
I should also note that some services I've used that accept Bitcoins

Some packages could not be installed.
BitPay requires users to give their name, removing one incentive to use
Bitcoin in the first place (the opportunity for privacy, although Bitcoin
isn't private by default).
I understand that, like EFF, ThinkPenguin is probably concerned about
financial regulations.
Yet that's no worse
Never said the fascists were any better than the commies. I certainly don't
admire either one, as both have the blood of countless on their hands.
When it gets right down to brass tax both ideologies are more or less the
same. They differ only in the specific details of how the economy is
Corporations might be bad at times, although I'd argue that they're neither
good nor evil, merely effective entities built for the purposes of profit and
propagating themselves. They might be sociopathic in form, but they're still
necessary sociopaths. It really comes down to how you
Rebuilding the package should work.
You will only have to change the versions in the build process.
After you install the package you have built, you can safely dist-upgrade.
If you have tried to dist-upgrade before, I will help you resolve the issues.
It's always possible that I've misinterpreted, but here's how rms put it in
his article Linux and the GNU System

Take a look at the top of tasks page. There is your answer.

For me it looks like people can give suggestions on tasks to be crowd funded
and the Trisquel team will add it or not to the list.
I agree that that page needs some polishing, same as with the forum.

Hmm.. Now that is an interesting analogy, very interesting. =p
Although I will say that 1984 was about socialism taken to the literal
extreme, and has nothing to do with a capitalistic economy or big economic
interests.
You might also wanna look more closely at Brave New World and the
Nineteen Eighty-Four is about totalitarianism, not necessarily fascism or
socialism. The origin of Oceania is left intentionally vague, as is the
original claimed ideology of Ingsoc (it's shot for English Socialism, but

Psychopaths aren't necessarily sadists, either. Psychopathy is just the lack
of ability to feel empathy. It's a perfect description for corporations.
Note that many politicians are psychopaths. It makes perfect sense;

From what I remembered reading, quite some time ago, I had the impression
that they were people who even felt a need/urge to cause harm to other
people. But, after reading some more again, I think you might be right...
Thank you for your correction.

Whenever I try to play 10-bit H.264 videos with Totem, I will get this error
message.
Could not find GStreamer caps mapping for FFmpeg codec 'h264', and you are
using an external libavcodec. This is most likely due to a packaging problem
and/or libavcodec having been upgraded to a version
I am not very knowledgeable about this subject, so if you have a solution,
please explain it in a way that is easy to understand.
Of course this is correct and I never said something different.
GNU *is* an operating system, and many people are using the GNU operating
system, no problem here.
But the GNU operating system is not complete; people don't use _only_ the GNU

FreeBSD 10 will be their first release that has all the GNU components
removed. One big one is the push for Clang and LLVM instead of GCC due to
newer versions of GCC using GPLv3 and BSD sticking with the older GPLv2
licensed version because they don't like GPLv3.

You kind of missed the finer points of my post. And I recognize that this is
way off topic. But the brutality of the bolsheviks was started by the

supported by the United States government. It wasn't just fascists
If Debian were to replace the GNU system with something else, we would just
have to call it Debian. Not Debian GNU/Linux, but not Debian Linux
either; just Debian. Or maybe the replacement system already has a name, in
which case that system's name would be appropriate (e.g. maybe it's BSD,

For the NVIDIA GPU I get:

/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1d.7/usb1/1-1/leds/rtl8187-phy0::rx/brightness
Actually I checked again and in fact the Fn+F5 and F6 DO work to adjust
brightness, it just doesn't go as high as the NVIDIA ION. I will check about
that file.
for the Intel IGD, I get:

Thanks for replying. How can I get a new version of gStreamer? Do I have to
install new updates or software? Do I have to type any commands in Terminal?
Do I have to use the Synaptic Package manager? Or do I have to wait until the
next version of Trisquel is released?
