  1. Re:Nonsense on Apache CloudStack Becomes a Top-level Project · · Score: 2

    Short answer: It's "like Amazon EC2", but you deploy it on your own hardware. That's IaaS (Infrastrucutre as a Service in cloud talk). PaaS (Platform as a Service) is "like heroku, but on your own hardware".

  2. Library on Valve Reveals First Month of Steam Linux Gains · · Score: 1

    I would add that the library of games currently available is very small, so I guess this figure is really quite impressive. Annecdata: most Linux gamers I know still use stream on wine because of whatever their current addiction is (dota2, counterstrike, skyrim, whatever)

  3. Re:At the end of the day on Ask Mark Shuttleworth Anything · · Score: 1

    I sincerely wish this gets answered!

  4. Re:Between Personal Life and Work on Ask Slashdot: Why Aren't You Running KDE? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Intel 3d refers to intel graphic cards with accelerated 3d rendering (openGL etc...).

  5. Re:It'll work when people use it..... like bitcoin on Moxie Marlinspike's Solution To the SSL CA Problem · · Score: 1

    This is precisely not required, and does validate those sites just fine. Maybe you should actually RTFA about it before making assumptions?

  6. Re:Lserver attack on Moxie Marlinspike's Solution To the SSL CA Problem · · Score: 1

    In which case, in layman terms, "you're fucked" regardless of whether you're using Convergence or not...

  7. Re:Notaries... on Moxie Marlinspike's Solution To the SSL CA Problem · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You don't really need to: You are expected to have more than one notary, so you will only trust the certificate if a majority of your notaries say it's legit. It's actually user-settable: a certificate is considered valid if a "majority say yes" or "at least one say yes" or "consensus is required". Having many notaries reduces the probability of MITM attacks, since the paths from notaries to target certificates are multiple, it's very improbable to MITM all of them at once.

  8. I don't know why... on JooJoo Maker Is Back With a New Tablet · · Score: 1

    ... but I'm not drinking the cool-aid. If they can't spell "kernel" properly, I doubt they are competent to build tablets including a custom build of it.

  9. The list on 30+ Infected Apps Pulled From Android Market · · Score: 1
  10. The one process to rule them all on Is Process Killing the Software Industry? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Karma be damned, this is relevant to TFA:

  11. Re:why would anyone BUY an illegal copy? on For-Profit, Illegal Movie Download Sites Threaten MPAA · · Score: 1

    Where are my mod points when I need them? Thanks for pointing this post out. Mod parent up

  12. Re:awesome! on Ubuntu Reaching Out To 16,000 Anime Lovers · · Score: 1

    Pretty nice stuff. I like "creaper and the rose" and "gnu power" especially.

  13. Re:We DO need another desktop OS. on Shuttleworth Suggests 1-Way Valve For User Experience Testing · · Score: 1

    My wife, mother and yes, grandmother all run linux. They have no computer knowledge, and while they don't install software themselves they didn't when they were using Windows either... but linux (or rather gnu/linux distributions) just works. Oh, and none of them read slashdot as far as I know.

  14. Re:Robot Wars and the Three Laws on Robot Warfare Going Open Source · · Score: 1

    Where are my mod points when I need them? Mod parent up

  15. Re:no way of knowing for sure on The Problem With Estimating Linux Desktop Market Share · · Score: 2, Informative

    I did set up a mirror for all of our company's workstations (32), so canonical would see us as one user...

  16. Re:Great idea... on LimeWire Brings Darknets To All · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Where are my mod points when I need them?

  17. Re:About Time! on Spaceplane Concept Receives Euro Funding · · Score: 1

    We already have a welfare system.

  18. Re:Swiss independence on Anti-Piracy Group Violates Swiss Law to Track File Sharing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They don't get to lobby to get a law changed. In Switzerland, national laws are voted by referendum.

  19. Re:Why a soundcard ! on Wireless Keyboard "Encryption" Cracked · · Score: 1

    They most probably use the soundcard for analog/digital conversion: radio recivers output analog data, and computers handle digital data.
