It is called Fedora.

People use CentOS because they want a stable RedHat style Linux but don't need the support.
Realistically, once you have used Linux for a couple of years how much support do you need.

I don't find that I really have a use for a smart TV.

I have a tuner box provided by my Fios provider for regular TV and a Amazon FireTV box for Amazon, Netflix, SlingTV and assorted other apps that I don't ever use.
My Fios provider provides Tivo type show/series recording that I can access from the Fios tuner box if I want to record something.
Once in a while there is a game console attached although that is rare.
I also usually have an old PC or laptop that I plugin for the twice a year that I actually watch a DVD.

I would much rather have an affordable large (very flat) screen that doesn't have a tuner or smart TV things in it but has a load of different input options and excellent picture quality. P in p or split screen would also be nice if I want to watch two games at once.

I haven't had cable in years.

I have never been much of a TV watcher but I find that between Netflix, local broadcast (over the air) tv, and the 4 sports bars within 5 miles of my house I am just fine without cable.

Netflix and before that blockbuster (rip bb) lets me watch a movie at home once in a while.

Sports...There are 3 teams I care about and two of them are local and likely to be on ota tv; plus sports are much more fun to watch at a sport bar with a bunch of people around you cheering, then they are to watch at home by yourself.

I go to the theater once in a great while if there is something that I really want to see on a big screen but those are few and far between. It is a shame really because I used to love going to the movies but they have ruined the experience between the price and the crappy remakes and reboots of old movies. Is there no one left in Hollywood capable of an original idea?

By the way, over the air tv has a MUCH better high def signal then the local cable company. When I watch something at any of my friends houses I always notice how bad the cable signal is in my area. I don't think they will be getting my money any time soon.

I guess I expect more intellegence from slashdot readers, it used to be that way any way.

Comments about "Gates selling shit" and "its faked" do nothing except show that you are ignorant and childish. What comes out of that unit is both distilled and then filtered (probably some sort of reverse osmosis filter that could do an ok job of cleaning the water on its own.) Since it is distilled there is no bacteria in it unless it it has been recontaminated further down the line.

The whole point of this is that there are plenty of places in the world with not much in the line of clean drinkable water. People live in those places. Poor people living in poor countries that can't afford (or chose not to) provide clean drinking water to thier people. Those peoples health and well being would be greatly improved by having safe clean water available. Their lifestyle and economic well being would be greatly improved if that water was available somewhere close to where they live.

Here is a solution that will take something that is found in abundance everywhere humans and their animals live and turn it in to something that is needed and desired enough that a person may be able to make a living running the thing. It is a solution that a small company (or village) could afford, as opposed to something costing tens of millions of dollars.

Here is a link to the web site of a small town in the US that just spent $21 million on a treatment plant plus another 30 million on sewage lines:

How many little third world villages do you suppose can raise $51 million?

Way to go Mr Gates!

This makes sense. In the US the posted speed limits seem to be 10 or 15 miles below what most drivers would deem a "safe" speed on that road. More then likely this is because the authorities expect that people will be 5 or 10 mph over. I have previously argued that there would be a push to raise the speed limit on some roads when self driving cars became common. It is quite annoying and somewhat dangrous when a car is actually doing the speed limit on some of the roads around here.

Some of the limits also seem to be designed purely to generate tickets. There is one four lane road near my house that is posted 25 mph. This is a silly posting for this road and there is often a speed trap set up on it.

There are exceptins of course. I don't think anyone would argue that the speed limit in residential areas should be raised.

soapbox warning:
Creating laws that people will ignore or "bend" on purpose is bad for a society. Once people get used to breaking this law or that law because it is stupid or it "doesn't really matter" it fosters a general disrespect for authority and law. They start to select which laws they will obey and which don't apply to them.

"...autonomous cars stick to the speed limit."

Yes I predict that will become a major annoyance and discussion topic where local governments will be forced to raise the speed limits (at least for autonomous cars) on some roads. The speed limits are currently somewhat lower then they need to be as it is assumed that drivers will go 10 or so mph over. When autonomous cars start creating rolling road blocks because they actually drive 55 in a 55 zone or 35 in a 35 zone there will be pressure to raise the limits for them.
