  1. Re:remote desktop vs windows on Wayland 1.1 Released — Now With Raspberry Pi Support · · Score: 1

    Are there a lot of applications that strictly depend on Wayland?

  2. Re:remote desktop vs windows on Wayland 1.1 Released — Now With Raspberry Pi Support · · Score: 1

    "De facto" isn't really a thing in the world of Linux distributions.

  3. Re:remote desktop vs windows on Wayland 1.1 Released — Now With Raspberry Pi Support · · Score: 2

    Why not just ssh into the machine and run the regular vim from cli? =)

    Why are you installing Wayland on your servers?

  5. Re:Oh Liz, arrogant arrogant Liz... on Raspberry Pi Production Heats Up In UK Surpassing Chinese Production Soon · · Score: 1

    Is this the Deutsch version of Star Wars?

  6. Re:what eats them? on Giant Snails Invade Florida · · Score: 1

    They float, too.

  7. Re:did people really use them? on Nintendo To Cancel Weather, News, and Other Built-In Wii Apps In June · · Score: 1

    I never used them beyond the first couple of days that they were brought online. The novelty was fun but it quickly became a hassle to fire up the system and TV (and then wait for the app to launch) to check the weather forecast that I can have in a matter of seconds using my computer. I think the weather application only updated itself every 8 hours, which is kind of useless with Weather Channel always being right up-to-date.

  8. Re:Civillian cyber-casualties on S. Korea Says Cyber Attack From North Wiped 48,700 Machines · · Score: 1

    If your livelihood depends on it, then the inconvenience of being too careful isn't really a factor.

    albiet in a state not necessarily the same as you were before

    Yeah, your timestamp and permissions might be missing.

  10. Re:How can you tell North Korea was hacked? on North Korea's Twitter and Flickr Accounts Hacked By Anonymous · · Score: 1

    We're talking about a hacked Twitter account here, people. Not a violation of human rights.

    "Anonymous" isn't even representative of a particular country, anyway.

  11. Re:Epitaph on Film Critic Roger Ebert Dead at 70 Of Cancer · · Score: 1

    Yup.

  12. Re:So? on Nuclear Power Prevents More Deaths Than It Causes · · Score: 2

    Hydroelectricity can certainly exist without dams, there's no doubt about that. The post above mentioning Niagara Falls is another good example of that. But could a waterfall turbine or buoy farm even hope to match the output of a hydroelectric dam or compete with nuclear energy?

  13. Re:So lame I'm not refreshing the home page anymor on Linus Torvalds To Head Windows 9 Project · · Score: 0

  14. Giant Robotic Jellyfish on Giant Robotic Jellyfish Unveiled by Researchers · · Score: 1

    That would be an awesome band name.

  15. Re:Perhaps the question should be: what job? on Sony Reveals More PS4 and Dual Shock 4 Details · · Score: 1

    PC would be the best for indie games, I would imagine.

  16. Re:One-dimensional Interface? on Roku Finally Gets a 2D Menu System · · Score: 2

    It would have been better described as an interface with one-dimensional navigation. If you think about it, a lot of UI's could be described this way. Throwing in that extra dimension so that items could be laid out into a grid instead of a line makes it quicker to navigate through a long list of items.

  17. Re:I believe we already crashed linuxgizmos.com on Roku Finally Gets a 2D Menu System · · Score: 3

    It's running off of a Roku.

  18. Re:So, they heard the complaints... on GNOME 3.8 Released Featuring New "Classic" Mode · · Score: 5, Funny

    It looks plasticky and cheap

    Don't use the 'Plastick' theme, then.

  19. Re:What's the point of buying a Sony PC? on Sony Reveals More PS4 and Dual Shock 4 Details · · Score: 1

    ...what's the point of buying a PlayStation 4 over a home theater PC running a less-closed operating system such as Windows 8 or GNU/Linux?

    Exactly the same point that exists in buying a PlayStation 3 over a HTPC. People want different tools for different jobs.

  20. Re: Measure twice. on Egyptian Forces Capture 3 Divers Trying To Cut Undersea Internet Cable · · Score: 1

    Efforts are being made to retrieve all the lost 1's and 0's floating out to sea.

  21. Re:Why "Maria" DB? on MySQL's Creator On Why the Future Belongs To MariaDB · · Score: 1

    Because JesusDB would drop tables

    I see what you did there. Brilliant. =)

  22. Re:never understood the appeal on DOS Emulation Arrives For the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    Is DOOM now a form of punishment?

    Technically, yes.

  23. Letter K? on KDE's Calligra Office Suite For Android Released · · Score: 1

    Given KDE's naming schemes, I'm surprised that they didn't call this Kalligra.

  24. Re:Tell it to Mozillla on We Didn't Need Google's Schmidt To Tell Us Android and Chrome Wouldn't Merge · · Score: 1

    You can still make it work using IMAP, Lightning and the Lightning Exchange connector. It's not as fully-featured as Outlook as far as being an Exchange client, but it covers the basics. OWA can cover the rest (out of office reminders, etc) when needed. I used it for the better part of a year before deciding that Outlook 2010 isn't so bad.

  25. Re:HAHAHAHAHAHA on Microsoft To Abandon Windows Phone? · · Score: 1

    People typically replace their phones every two years anyway, so it's really a non-issue.
