Point me to explicit instructions that makes any Bluetooth device work
under Ubuntu.  (Not Kubuntu.)  You know: any telephone that you can
actually browse and transfer files too and from.  Any HID device that
works at all.  Because so far, despite repeated requests, nobody has
been able to point me (and at least two other users I've observed) to
anything at all.

acceptable from a Buddhist point of view. Between a man and man, a woman
and another woman, in the mouth, the anus, or even using a hand." --The
