ISO Booting with Grub 2 in Ubuntu

This thread will detail how to place a menu entry in Grub 2 to allow booting an ISO file stored on your computer without a CD/DVD. Not all ISOs will work with Grub 2. The ISO must be constructed in a manner to allow this method of booting.

Net Neutrality: what does the Google Verizon proposal mean for GNU Linux?

Net neutrality has been a hot and persistent topic on the internet for some time, so I’m not even going to attempt to summarize the debate here. Anyone who values their personal and online freedom knows it’s a crucial issue. Regardless of your operating system or the software we use it will affect each and every one of us. However, if you use GNU/Linux you’re already tech savvy and familiar with the politics and philosophy of free and open software, so you’ll be particularly sensitized to the impact of threats to net neutrality on free software. Just how could it affect users of GNU/Linux?
Why can't free software lead to hardware innovation?

In the past few years we’ve seen a lot of hardware-based innovation (or at the very least expansion). New products and markets have arisen built around hardware and its use. Smartphones, tablets, netbooks and gaming systems are all examples of markets that have expanded and some if not most of the products make use of free software. This is great but why does it seem to be that the free-software products are second-generation, playing catch up. Where is the device innovation driven by free software?

How to install Ubuntu 10.04 on Thinkpad x201
Source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1547323
thinkpad, x201, 10.04, lucid, blank screen, black screen, install, suspend, change brightness
Summary
As of August 2010, installing 10.04 on a ThinkPad x201 is non-trivial. The fixes have been worked out in many different forums, but I thought there might be value added in consolidating the process in one place. I'll try to present every step simply, since more experienced users probably don't need this HOWTO in the first place. If I miss any steps, or explain anything wrong, please let me know.
