  1. Re:So unprofessional on Canonical Names Ubuntu Linux 17.04 'Zesty Zapus' (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Can't tell if you're joking, but yeah, Squeeze, Potato, Wheezy and Woody are so much better...

  2. Re:Theoretical speeds on Internet By Light Promises To Leave Wi-Fi Eating Dust (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Another lamp, of course. Duh.

  3. What's the difference from a Lumia? on Microsoft CMO Confirms Development of 'Spiritual Equivalent' of Surface Phone (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    I read the article, and I'm still not clear on how a "Surface Phone" would be different from a Lumia with Windows 10. I'm sure someone here can explain to me, seeing as I'm apparently not familiar enough with the Microsoft eco-system.

    Thanks!

  4. Brings back memories on Toshiba Introduces a Cortana Keyboard Button For Windows 10 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Oh, remember all those times you used that e-mail button on your keyboard to start your mail program, or the globe button to launch the web browser. I can't even imagine life before I had those. I bet this will be just as successful!

  5. Re:Never seen it on Steve Ballmer Authored the Windows 3.1 Ctrl-Alt-Del Screen · · Score: 1

    Thank you. The article makes it sound as if it was used in versions after Windows 3.1, and specifically not in 3.1. I was lucky enough to not have a Windows PC in the old 3.1 days, so that would explain it.

  6. Re:Never seen it on Steve Ballmer Authored the Windows 3.1 Ctrl-Alt-Del Screen · · Score: 1

    No, I think just missed that one. Good for me, it would seem.

  7. Never seen it on Steve Ballmer Authored the Windows 3.1 Ctrl-Alt-Del Screen · · Score: 1

    I must be unique then in that I have used Windows for 15 years and I've never seen that particular blue screen before. Had to google it after reading the article, and still can't find any other mention of it. In what version of Windows was it used?

  8. Working link to article on Cybercriminals Has Heroin Delivered To Brian Krebs, Then Calls Police · · Score: 4, Informative
  9. Re:Standards on USB 3.0 Getting a Speed Boost To 10 Gbps · · Score: 2

    They won't do that because then consumers will know the difference, and as it turns out, that's bad for business.

  10. Re:Does it matter? on Canonical Pulls Kubuntu Personnel Funding · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yes, for me, the reason I'm not using any other KDE based distro is because I want access to the awesome Ubuntu package repositories, as well as all the PPAs. I love PPAs, and apparently so does a lot of other users and developers.

  11. No dedup in FreeNAS on Ask Slashdot: Free/Open Deduplication Software? · · Score: 5, Informative

    However, FreeNAS supports ZFS v15, which doesn't have support for deduplication.

  12. Novobirsk? on Russia Building World's Largest Li-Ion Battery Plant · · Score: 2

    For some reason, the summary says Novobirsk. It should of course be Novosibirsk.

  13. Yeah! on Linux-Powered Christmas Display Puts Rudolph To Shame · · Score: 4, Funny

    Backslashdotted!

  14. IE9 for XP? on Microsoft Upgrading Windows Users To Latest Version of MSIE · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Really? When did this happen?

  15. Re:Nooo! on Linux Support Fades For 3Dfx Voodoo, Rage 128, VIA · · Score: 2

    Mesa never provided support for Matrox' P-series cards anyway, so nothing will change in your case.

  16. Re:Israel's capital is Jerusalem, not Tel Aviv on Google Street View Gets Israeli Government's Nod · · Score: 1

    The Israeli Law, Information and Technology Authority is situated in Tel Aviv.

  17. Re:Better services out already on Amazon Releases Cloud-Based Music Service · · Score: 1

    They even have a native Linux x86/x86_64 client under development. http://www.spotify.com/se/download/previews/

  18. Re:TL;DR? on How Facebook Responded To Tunisian Hacks · · Score: 0

    Facebook switched to HTTPS for Tunisian users. Yep, that's about it.

  19. Re:How does a condom break (no stupid jokes please on Assange Secret Swedish Police Report Leaked · · Score: 1

    What good would that do if the boyfriend doesn't know this? No, you generally can't tell if the condom breaks unless it's a really wierd model.

  20. Re:Which came first? on H.R. Giger Returns To the Alien Franchise · · Score: 3, Insightful
  21. 369? on European Parliament All But Rejects ACTA · · Score: 1

    Really? They couldn't be bothered to count more than 369 signatures?

  22. Re:And something you tend to find with geography on Just Where Is The Lincoln Memorial, Anyhow? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, and that map didn't include eastern Europe. Not a very good comparison.

  23. Cool on Silent, Easily Made Android Rootkit Released At DefCon · · Score: 1

    Can this be used to gain root on Android devices with a locked bootloader? That would be neat. Imagine rooting your phone without having to flash it.

  24. Moonlight 3.0.40818.0 on Linux here on Recomputing the Sky · · Score: 3, Informative

    Nope. Doesn't work.

  25. Re:Significance on Google Struggles To Give Away $10 Million · · Score: 1

    I think his point was that the new ideas this contest was supposed to encourage are the things that will combat those kinds of problems.
