=Turn off Bluetooth by default in Ubuntu 14.04=

Bluetooth is always on at each boot in Ubuntu laptops. This is not good, from both power saving and security purpose. Moreover, we hardly use Bluetooth, so why should have Bluetooth enabled by default? While one can turn off Bluetooth in one click in Ubuntu, doing it in each session is a repetitive and frustrating task. Simpler solution is to deactivate Bluetooth at start up in Ubuntu.
