  1. Actually, 19 years. Today ;-) on Windows 95 Turns 15 · · Score: 1

    Go linux!

  2. Linux will be 15 on 25th of Aug too on Windows 95 Turns 15 · · Score: 1

    but it's still very alive.

  3. Burn your CD from recovery partition using nLite on The Recovery Disc Rip-Off · · Score: 1

    nLite creates customized CD images. One of its option is to assemble a CD from the files on your partition. This is what I do before removing all crap from entire HDD, creating one main partition and one for a swap file and installing Linux ;-)

  4. dammit! on Why SSDs Won't Replace Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    I've just replaced my HDD with SSD and was so happy about it. Does it mean I need to go to the shop and ask to get it back??

  5. Linux is not windows! on Dell Drops Ubuntu PCs From Its Website · · Score: 1

    Read this: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and stop complaining that Linux is different. Yes, you need to use the package manager, and only this way is the right and easiest. Don't tell me about singed applications and drivers from "a web site". I trust if it comes from a repository only.

  6. Re:it doesn't make any sense because on Dell Drops Ubuntu PCs From Its Website · · Score: 1

    Agree, and from the next news, "Dell Settles With the SEC For $100M, intel paid to keep AMD's chips out of Dell's machines" it's obvious that M$ paid as well. Dell acts like a prostitute.

  7. .. and yet they've relesed a buggy version on FreeType Project Cheers TrueType Patent Expiration · · Score: 1

    2.4.0 appears to be buggy so they have to re-release it as 2.4.1. Simply amazing ;-)

  8. Re:Bad Summary on The Curious Case of SSD Performance In OS X · · Score: 1

    This procedure describes how to use the hdparm command to issue a Secure Erase ATA instruction to a target storage device. When a Secure Erase is issued against a SSD drive all its cells will be marked as empty, restoring it to factory default write performance.

  9. Re:Bad Summary on The Curious Case of SSD Performance In OS X · · Score: 1

    The should use ATA7 secure delete command instead, to flash the entire SSD (physicaly) to the initial value https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_Secure_Erase

  10. show me the code! on Apple To Issue a 'Fix' For iPhone 4 Reception Perception · · Score: 1

    This is might be even not related, but I would like to see the track changes of the source to have a little bit of prove for this BS

  11. 10 years after?.. on Potato-Powered Batteries Debut · · Score: 1
  12. use HTML/Javascript standard on Best Browser For Using Complex Web Applications? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You should not care about bugs in the browser. Use frameworks (sometimes with workarounds) or standard HTML4/HTML5/Javascript1.x code. File bug reports for whatever you find in browsers. The rest is just wasting your time and you might end up in the deadend as it happened with ie6.

  13. calc.exe is the man on Microsoft Windows 3.0 Is 20 Years Today · · Score: 1

    I asked to copy it to me after calc demonstration. And I got disappointed to know that it would take few floppies.

  14. the topic is stolen from Dan Ping/TED show on Open Source vs. Wall Street Bonuses · · Score: 1

    The idea stolen from Dan Pink: http://www.theadclass.com/education/dan-pink-creativity-motivation-ted-better-life everything, including candle problem.

  15. Re:I still PREFER! ICQ on Russian Company Buys ICQ · · Score: 1

    Absolutely agree - ICQ is a dead end, that's why the price is going down. Some big Russian companies like mail.ru has already switch to Jabber. Soon or later ICQ will be dead.

  16. HTML5 is the future on Adobe Stops Development For iPhone · · Score: 1

    I see it as a war of two close-source technology with its own policy. Let them fight, we all will be using HTML5 and SVG very soon anyways.

  17. nothing wrong with post-lunch nap in China on Photos of Chinese Sweatshop Used By Microsoft · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siesta
    Afternoon sleep is also a common habit in China and Taiwan after the midday meal. This is called '"wujiao()" in Chinese. Almost all schools in Mainland China and Taiwan have a half-hour nap period right after lunch. This is a time when all lights are out and one is not allowed to do anything other than rest or sleep.
    Some Japanese offices have special rooms known as napping rooms for their workers to take a nap during lunch break or after overtime work.

  18. Re:Try OpenSUSE on Which Linux For Non-Techie Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    I don't agree. Even family must understand all ideological background; why it's free and why OpenSUSE is evil. It will die eventually.

  19. Re:and there is no 64bit of 10.1beta2 yet on 64-Bit Flash Player For Linux Finally In Alpha · · Score: 1

    Please excuse Kyrgyz boy for speaking on your language. I'm sure the phrase "the web site slashdot.com" (low case) is the proper English and this is what I intended to say.
    BTW, as "nullchar" pointed out bellow, your English does suck really big too 8-)

  20. and there is no 64bit of 10.1beta2 yet on 64-Bit Flash Player For Linux Finally In Alpha · · Score: 1

    https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294003
    Also, Adobe didn't bother fixing 6month old security bug:
    http://flashcrash.dempsky.org/
    Adobe suck really big. But why somebody would post such a stupid "news" in the slashdot?..

  22. Re:I read it as: free, not open source, but effect on The Hidden Treasures of Sysinternals · · Score: 1

    there are 3 points of view here:
    - English grammar (and you are right about it)
    - lack of respect to a free tools by author
    - my own interpretation from open source point of view

  23. Re:Multiple ISOs on one flash drive on The Hidden Treasures of Sysinternals · · Score: 1

    Yep. You should be able to do it with grub boot manager and isolinux (http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/ISOLINUX#ISOLINUX_and_Windows_install_disks)

  24. this is their second attempt on The Hidden Treasures of Sysinternals · · Score: 1

    last time they had to shutdown the website and re-licence the tool (http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool) because of GPL violations. I wounder if they use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ source code this time ;-)

  25. I read it as: free, not open source, but effective on The Hidden Treasures of Sysinternals · · Score: 1

    "free" is indeed means not necessary effective to me. I always suspect it might become "not free" tomorrow or I won't be able to add functionality for my specific task if I need to.
