Farewell Unity, you challenged desktop Linux. Oh well, here's Ubuntu 17.04

Just be very careful

Just a warning to anyone thinking of upgrading to 17.04, I did and ended up having to wipe and reinstall 16.04 (it was the only disc I had) as all networking was lost (I have a dell 6400). cannot get my head round why this seems to happen with every upgrade.

National DNA database grows on the genes of the innocent

So what will they use and what about?

1/When we are all on the database what excuse will the police use for the low detection rate?

2/The concept is good, "if we know where you were and can show your DNA is at the location defacto you are guilty". Problem is it assumes that the police are angels and are never tempted to plant evidence i.e they only present the facts.
