    I think you need to read both tfa and the comment to which you're responding again.

    Are you missing the part where we ask you to a) try harder or b) get help from a tech support site? No one wants your bush-league "I can't figure out how to x" foolish questions. Get the hint.

  4. News content is slowwwww... on Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot? · · Score: 1

    Always 1 to 2 days behind. I see articles here that Engadget gets first! All the time! They're not smart. /. Can do better. And if there's a way to keep submitters a little more selective in their choice of story, that would be great. And by selective, I mean know your audience. And by know your audience, I mean don't pass off a nonsense story about vga being dead as weekend fodder for admission who have been running servers for 15, 20, 35+ years. I guess it boils down to quality for me.

    You obviously have never used a wireless charger. They are definitely more convenient. And the wasted power argument is silly when compared to other gadgets (50" tvs).

    In no way does BMI include six pack as part of its definition.

    You are closer to the truth than anyone here. Our modern lifestyle is the most important factor in our health.

  8. Re: I guess it's easier... on Why the Calorie Is Broken (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Bmi is a gross descriptor and is NOT meant to be a physical assessment target. It is based on statistical analysis of data, not on prolonged research of how to live right. One must take it as part of a bigger picture.

    Calm yourself. Homebrew is alive and well, you just have to bust out of whatever caused that outburst and read up on your topic of choice. I mean, Homebrew aviation is dead? Have you missed how we can build a 30 minute airtime drone with 300$ of parts from Amazon? With an HD camera on board?

    Does no one remember when BlackBerry caved to Iran's demand for the keys to decrypt BB devices deployed there? Happened about 5 years ago. BlackBerry is famous for cooperating with anyone who asks in matters of privacy.

    Your line "whatever I don't use Blackberry and don't trust them anyway" precludes this article being important in either case.

    LOL! No one cares about the Priv. Consider the N-gage as a prime example of how not to waste money staking your corporate future on bells and whistles, on one single device, or both.

  21. Poser OS on Elementary OS 0.3.2 "Freya" Released · · Score: 1

    Anyone fool enough to stick with Elementary will soon realize it's biggest drawback: you're locked out of everything. Want to hide all windows? Nope, but they suggest switching to another virtual desktop. How moronic. Any other questions on functions solved elegantly in nearly all other distros? "We're working on a fix." Elementary is garbage designed by fools. So don't even worry about the UI, cause you don't have a choice anyway; they choose the aesthetic and that's that.

    So you're buying a Turris Omnia, then?

  23. Re:The unaccomplished always envy achievement, eh? on High-Security, Open-Source Router is a Hit on Indiegogo (Video) · · Score: 1

    You all make it sound like flashing and running ddwrt/tomato/openwrt is a huge management problem when it really isn't. All 3 offer various update mechanisms that do not require re-flashing. All 3 have proven themselves better than stock firmware and offer enough stability, performance and security to have stayed around many years. As I mentioned, the Turris Omnia hardware is cool, but the project itself has two factors against it: 1) it's claimed "security" remains to be seen 2) for what it does, it's expensive. They are aiming at the non-professional home enthusiast who "even cleans up the icons on your desktop" (quoted from their video). I doubt many of the buyers are going to be examining core dumps and tuning kernel parameters on this thing.

    This Turris Omnia *is* based on openwrt. I'm guessing by their marketing material that they will not be overwhelming the router "enthusiast" with gui options for multiple WAN ips. "You may as well just run Linux on a cheap box from goodwill at that point." Yep.
