    And how exactly having it in writing would connect Internet to his home? In present day, because he needs it now. Not after lengthy, costly litigation.

    Hundred connectors to manage? Ever heard of docking station?

  4. Re:ABOUT FUCKING TIME! on Ubuntu To Officially Switch To systemd Next Monday · · Score: 1

    So? Ubuntu decided to go systemd in February 2014. It was over a year ago? Is year "hurry"?

  5. Re:ABOUT FUCKING TIME! on Ubuntu To Officially Switch To systemd Next Monday · · Score: 1

    In a hurry? Systemd is almost five years old, distributions have now *years* of experience integrating it.

  6. Not fixed by Ubuntu on NVIDIA Fixes Old Compiz Bug · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The headline gets it slightly wrong. Ubuntu (i.e Canonical) did not fix bug for at least three years.

  7. Re:So fast? Wow! on Wayland 1.7.0 Marks an Important Release · · Score: 1

    Fedora 22 (due in three months) target is to have login screen on Wayland. Fedora 23 (October?) should have fully working GNOME session on Wayland.

    They are doing one thing, and doing it right. They are providing much needed middleware and useful APIs, unifying Linux' Balkans.
    GRUB2 isn't the UEFI bootloader. It does much more, mainly in order to boot on legacy BIOS systems. I find gummiboot much better, I've been using it for years.

    GRUB2 isn't great UEFI bootloader. It does much more, because it aims for booting on legacy BIOS systems. I've been using gummiboot for years and I found it great.

    You got to thank Debian for doing so bad job at integrating systemd. They had 4 years headstart and still managed to fuck it up. Other distributions did not have such problems.

  11. Say goodbye to security on Ask Slashdot: Can I Trust Android Rooting Tools? · · Score: 1

    When you root, you almost always neuter Android security model. So goodbye to any security.
    You can always do the flashing properly, with signing and stuff, but the procedure is major PITA: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/31...

    In case you didn't notice, Waze IS Google since year and a half.

    Most people don't care about what happens in some distant offshore country like USA.

  15. Re:It's moments like this ... on FTDI Removes Driver From Windows Update That Bricked Cloned Chips · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, similar driver modification was proposed for inclusion – https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/... . But Linux maintainers didn't took it. Instead, original driver was adjusted to work with FTDIs ”bricked” by Windows driver: http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&...

    Linux is not fun anymore.

    Fedora isn't. It just some guy choosen to announce his project on fedora-devel mailing list.

  17. Re:Developers prefer Ubuntu? on How Red Hat Can Recapture Developer Interest · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu changing quickly? In what universe? I left Ubuntu for Fedora because I was fed up with living in the past. Debian's roots in Ubuntu show at every step, most software is ancient.

  18. Re:This naming trend has to stop on The XBMC Project Will Now Be Called Kodi · · Score: 1

    This also applies to libraries too. For example, anyone know what 'liborc', 'libnettle', 'libenchant', 'libmagic' or 'libcanberra' are without looking it up? I just picked these at random from /usr/lib. There are plenty more.

    I knew the purpose of 4 out of 5 of those libraries. But I'm the distro developer. Ordinary user has no business in knowing what library does what.

    There's a Chromium extension replacing all occurences of ”in the cloud” by ”in my butt”. Conveys the same message.

  20. 55TB / year? on Seagate Releases 6TB Hard Drive Sans Helium · · Score: 2

    Since when mechanical drives degrade during writes? Isn't that a SSD 's illness?
    And 55TB / year for desktop drive sounds ridiculously low.

    How do you find systemd/linux? Systemd's success could decrease relevance of Hurd, as systemd is Linux only.

    NSA certainly bugs ethernet sockets – see http://images.dailytech.com/ni... .
    The amount of destruction on motherboard teaches us a thing: GCHQ destroyed elements they KNOW could be used for storing data/snooping. So we say ”morons”, but they actually are ahead of us in spying. And they expect other intelligences to have similar capacities as NSA/GCHQ.

    Linus is reasonable guy. He's sometimes wrong, but can be convinced with technical arguments. The "don't-trust-RDRAND" change was included in Linux a year and a half ago: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c2557a303ab6712bb6e09447df828c557c710ac9
