Start up time to where I can actually use the GUI is 2min 38s 290ms 218us.

Startup finished in 5s 585ms 600us (kernel) + 5s 8ms 313us (initrd) + 2min 27s 696ms 305us (userspace) = 2min 38s 290ms 218us.

The damn Bluetooth NEVER works and ALWAYS gives this error.

I have disabled the bluetooth for now, because it seems to be going into some wretched loop.
su -c 'systemctl stop bluetooth.service'
su -c 'systemctl disable bluetooth.service'

The system freezes and hangs at least once everyday and I have to do a hard reboot.

Wireless connectivity to my office wifi is PATHETIC.

If I didn't have so much work piled up, I would totally chuck this super-mediocre release in an instant. What a pity I absolutely don't have any time at all and have to finish mountain loads of analyses without a break. :/

EDIT:
There is now a bug report on the frequent and random Fedora 16 freezes and a growing forum thread on several people who are experiencing the same headache:

The underlying message is if you have a realtek wireless card (particularly this one: RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01)), you are better off in Fedora 15. You do NOT want to upgrade to Fedora 16, at least till this frequent freeze bug is sorted out.

In a miscalculated move I put all my zillion bookmarks in Google Lists (e:tinypliny,55528) mainly because it integrated so well with the context menu of Google Chrome - my favourite browser.

I recently migrated to delicious and found that I couldn't export any of my bookmarks that were under lists (in my case, all of them) to delicious.

Thankfully, with the imminent shutting down of Google lists, this problem will be solved.

From the "Goodbye, Lists: FAQ at this

What happens to my Lists once the feature is discontinued?

Lists that you own: All items will be saved as bookmarks with the label "MyBookmarkList". Comments will be saved along with each bookmark.
All other lists (including those shared with you): You’ll no longer be able to access these lists. If you want to save items from these lists, you should bookmark them before December 19th, 2011.

Whew. Finally a way to export those pesky isolated list bookmarks. I don't have to lose my zillion R, Perl and linux references.

Internal PDF links are not working in Evince. I don't know why. Maybe they never really worked ever and I only thought they did. I am reading a heavily cross-referenced long book chapter and it is extremely painful to not have internal links working on the PDF reader.

So I am installing okular.

It's a 61 meg download with around 41 components. Looks like it's pulling the entire KDE library with it. But guess what is making up nearly 50% of this byte-age?

(29/41): oxygen-icon-theme-4.7.3-1.fc16.noarch.rpm 28 MB

An icon theme for the blasted reader.

I think that is such a telling statement about the priorities in KDE, in general. But it sure looks good, is oodles better than Evince and internal as well as external hyperlinks and cross-references work! I think that's all that matters in the end.

---

Strangely, there are just 3-4 flashy icons on the reader. But it downloaded all this crap:

What is going on? :/ Every time I go to tinypic to upload a picture and one of their flash address containers loads, my gnome shell crashes and I am back to the bootup terminal.

These is the tail of my /var/log/messages in between one crash and the next.
{(e:paul), try pasting these messages in a journal without the code tags, a messed up TOC turns up! I had no idea (e:strip) could do TOCs! Since when do we have that functionality?!}

If there is one thing that error messages in /var/log/messages are really good for it is for regular expressions practice. I think I am getting better at regex by using the regex tool in geany to sort out and condense the list of errors my system encounters almost daily. I don't know what most of these errors mean but I gather than anything that has "error|warning|failed" is a problem.

I am realizing that the error messages are organized and labeled pretty well. I was able to isolate all the problematic messages from different components of the system with some regexing, sorting, deletion of duplicate lines and numbers within brackets. I guess the numbers within brackets are IDs of sorts but I am just focusing on the unique errors for now. I whittled down the list of 933 lines to around 100. It would have been nice if I could get the count of how many times the error occurred right next to the error line, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Some of these errors/failures/warnings occur numerous times; some as many as 100 times.

Hmm.. so basically, everytime I want to connect to a wifi hotspot, the system has this error: Activation (wlan0) failed for access point (ESSID of hotspot) Googling for this error brings up an enormous number of threads, for eg. This is definitely a problem with the kernel module for my wireless card. I guess whoever made that module must not have tested it on multiple-point wireless access spots or where hotspot signals are weak. It does connect comfortably with a single access wireless spot at home. Kind of defeats the mobility of the laptop. Wish the people who made the kernel module would revisit the module in less than ideal wireless scenarios and do some bug-fixing because I am way in over my head trying to troubleshoot this. I tried (e:uncutsaniflush)'s suggestion of trying other kernels. Every kernel that I tried and that has a wireless module for my card pretty much has similar problems. So no luck there.

All this drama makes me conclude that the biggest thing that linux has going against it is hardware support. There is no dearth of software genius in the community.

Text Processing Tools:
Apart from regexing, I found TextOpus online I wish I could write perl programs that replicate the functionality of this tool. Or just download an offline version of the tool.

Actually I just want to be as skilled as Tomasz Klekot at text processing.
