The most complex part, for a personal/family mail server, is the dns part. You must get a domain and point the mail server for that domain to your pc/server (but may be services that simplify that for you, maybe even free for subdomains).

KDE programs run in Gnome, Ubuntu's Unity, and windows managers, you need the libraries to run them, not actually running that desktop. What may suffer in some cases are desktop integration (i.e. being default action to open some file types, embedding parts into other programs, notifications and so on), but anyway…

#0 attach a PC to it as monitor running xbmc/vlc/whatever and control it from your cellphone/tablet/wireless keyboard+mouse. There you will have most online services, your video collections. Your SmartTV won't be as smart as your pc as the world keeps changing while your tv won't.

A big difference between linux and windows is that linux includes even the kitchen sink in the average distribution. Is like you liking the last Windows version because includes Adobe Revel, Mathematica, Crysis and/or Amazon Reader, all with totally different field of application. For an architect could matter support…

At least for me, it came with some important points:

Vote: Kate

TL;DR

I prefer to wear it

Finally Sidekick for android

What about not explosive decompression? Something slow, that passed unnoticed, but that ended with people unconcious there?

Susan Blackmore: Memes and "temes"

Remember, the first vulnerability that you must fix is the user. If you expend 600 in a privacy phone, and install on it skype, facebook client, some random free games and joke apps, and if those apps don't care about your privacy, you may be undoing what the phone is doing. Alternate markets like F-Droid that is open…

The first feature that a router should have is having good support from i.e. dd-wrt or openwrt, and install one of them as soon as you can. If well they come bundled with "good enough" base software, security seem to be the last concern on them, and sooner or later are found backdoors (either by mistake, employees or…

Take Microsoft word for what it worths. With Snowden's revelation we knew that the encrypted, secure and private Skype conversations weren't.
Open source its the ultimate test for trust.

From the 2013 odds of dying graphic from the national safety council you have 1 in 108 odds of dying because motor vehicle incidents (and there are several related with less odds, like being car occupant, pedestrian, motorcycle rider or pedalcyclist), higher than that is cancer and heart diseases with 1 in 7 each,…

You'll never know when this guy will take control, better to be ready.

Scratch is great to understand what is programming if you have 0 knowledge of it (or to play with a different approach from normal programming languages, both for being visual and for having builtin events and concurrency in an intuitive way) but don't expect that you will learn a language for working. Usually…

You probably have several computers (or that qualifies as one) already running linux. Android is the easiest case, but a lot of routers have linux built in (and should qualify on the list installing in your router alternative linux distributions, like dd-wrt or openwrt, if supported by it, as is probably more…

#1 Having them in an aseptic environment

Same goes with taking photos instead of enjoying the view. Visiting great places is not about spending all the time remembering how busy you been taking photos of it, but about actually be in those places, and maximizing your experience of them.
