  1. I am not exactly a a music maker on Ask Slashdot: An Open Source PC Music Studio? · · Score: 1

    But download ubuntu/xubuntu/mint on USB flash drive, install it on another, or simply try it from virtualisation! That way is best way before you go full on into open source. Also, as a side note, see if laptp will be compatible with Linux. Avoid poblems before they are real! I got Lenovo laptop for me mom, id search for specific model but I can't right now since I am at work and gmail is restricted here.

  3. Re:Freeloaders on The Role of Freeloaders In Open Source Communities · · Score: 4, Informative

    Who, happen to be who? That's right, users(consumers)! :* At the end of the day, open source was made to attract people who can improve code, and in order for i to happend, they need to use code in the first place! Oh, and btw, you are also wong about developers. I am no developer, but I submit bugs to Firefox, etc, so I am part of development progress. I suggest ideas too! So define freeloader. User != freeloader. If I sugget someoen OSS, am I still freeloader? I do marketing for developer too?

    Yeah, that's what assholes call us. If you don't like your user base - just don't open source your code, thank you very much,

  5. Re:Jailbreakingg on The iOS 7 Jailbreak Fiasco · · Score: 1

    Did it come to you, that its not always about this? I mean, I got "jail broken" phone from producer of the phone. I paid +10 Euro for it. I have now all legit programs on my Android, for which I have actually paid. I wanted to install Linux in chroot in it. So I did. I got Linux in my pocket. Does it make me a pirate?

    I am affraid I don't agree with yoou on that. I never said i am something special. :*

  7. not it can't on Can a Computer Identify Your Urban Tribe? · · Score: 1

    I don't belong to one, plain and simple, i am self inflicted loner. And no, you, my slash dot co readers aren't it, as i dont agree with many of you on many different topics.

  8. Not sure if it helps on Ask Slashdot: Easy, Open Source Desktop-Sharing Software? · · Score: 1

    But, Chromium/Chrome has plugin for remote desktop. I don't know license of plugin, but it's there, easy to install, i tested it on Linux, should also work on Linux. It's easy to use. It's not running in normal server/client model, in a sence, that server is some google service, but it does what says on the tin. Though I have my privacy concern here. Its UBER easy, mom tested. (I have gentoo, mom's laptom Linux Mint) You only need plugin, which is easy to install, and chromium on both computers. No need for registration. On one end auto generated key on another this key is accepted.(so you need to make a phone call or VOIP out)

  10. Re:Yet another YOTLD estimate on Nvidia Doubles Linux Driver Performance, Slips Steam Release Date · · Score: 1

    No, not really, If I know applications i am goingt to need, i just serach them in GUI tool, and click to install, no browser messing... Most common programs are there in database. Thinderbird/firefox/gimp/vlc/etc. I was talking about GUI only solution, for most programs you don't CLI. And than, apt-get install packagename - even i remember it, and I DONT USE ubuntu. Nothing stops you from using other interface. Gnome/KDE/XFCE. Install them once, use forever. You can even use xubuntu or kubuntu. I agree, Unity sucks.

  11. Re:Yet another YOTLD estimate on Nvidia Doubles Linux Driver Performance, Slips Steam Release Date · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You mean it's too easy to use Linux? I mean... With ubuntu you just pop into it's centralised software database, and graphically install most needed programs from there, while in windows you have to find application in search engine, and actually navigate and download it, and it's not always as easy as it seems.

  12. Perhaps on Microsoft Sponsors Linux Foundation Event · · Score: 1

    Microsoft understands they will loose dominating position forever. And why not sell Office on Linux?

  13. Re:The headline lies on How Patent Trolls Harm the Economy · · Score: 1

    companies will be forced to. After all, it takes time to copy something and that time - is advantage. Let me put it this way. Money that went or patens will go on taxes and into univercities. instead of pockets of megacorporations.

  19. Re:Yes on Are Open-Source Desktops Losing Competitiveness? · · Score: 0

    Don't remember when gnome crashed on me, but than, i don't use gnome 3. Linux is about choice. Use XFCE, noone says "NO" to you. Only problem I have with gnome 2, that is annoying, but not brain killer yet - gnome/start menu is not precached. Don't see reasons for it, i got 8 gigs o ram, and opening it, may take up to 2 seconds, but once its opened, its quick and efficient and most importantly - precached!

    Now, thats what I call professional troll fishing. Put a byte to silly humans, in a form of admitting of AMD fans appologising, when in fact I never saw in troll wars between Nvidia/AMD that they(AMD fans) are sorry for anything. Not bad, not bad...
