  3. Re:Office 356? on Office 365: Suffer 18 Days' Outage, Still Pay Half Price · · Score: 2

    That's because it was only half of the joke. The other half is that you get 635 days of up time on a two-year contract.

  4. Re:So, will he continue to use Opera? on Opera Founder Jon S. von Tetzchner Resigns · · Score: 1

    Opera has more than 200 million users (on desktop and mobile combined), so I think they're doing pretty well as it is.

    If that was true, then 2% market share of Opera would mean 10 billion web users total.

  5. Re:Um. Posted a video... on Sound-Based System Promises Chipless Phone Payment · · Score: 1

    You are confusing inaudible with invisible.

  6. Re:none EABI? on ARM-Based Arduino Competitor At SparkFun · · Score: 1

    There are only two ABIs for ARM. The older version, being the only version at that time, didn't have an official name. Unofficially it's sometimes referred to as OABI.

    Or, in other words, if we say that there are about 2592000 seconds in one month, your download speed acceleration will be 38.59B/s^2.

  8. Re:Isn't leaving things out fun? on Sergey Brin: Windows Is "Torturing Users" · · Score: 1

    Every year or so I wipe the drive with a fresh XP-CD install, and need to reinstall my favorite programs, but that would be true of any OS

    Really? That's funny, I cannot remember the last time I was forced to do something like that with any of my Fedora systems, or CentOS, or RHEL.

    It's even funnier than that. You just upgrade to a newer release time to time without reinstalling any of your applications; while GP reinstalling same old OS over and over.

  9. Re:Who can fly it? on New Aircraft Is Pilot Optional · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't Firebird be as multiplatform as Firefox and Thunderbird?

  10. Re:KDE is really good now.. on KDE 4.6.3 Released · · Score: 1

    That's what LXDE is using by default (at least on Fedora 15). I was happily surprised that same GTK themes are supported by both LXDE (icons and pointers) and Openbox (window decorations).

  11. Re:KDE is really good now.. on KDE 4.6.3 Released · · Score: 1

    I still run Gnome 2 on my desktop. IMO, it's the most efficient in terms of resources:features.

    You should definitely try Xfce and LXDE. They are both click-click configurable and much lighter then GNOME.

    Please take your baby to see a doctor ASAP! This is not normal color for baby puke.

  13. Re:Nope on Ask Slashdot: Huge Digital Media Libraries · · Score: 1

    Look for getfattr and setfattr utilities. It shouldn't be difficult to script something to dump ID3 tags using id3info and import them into extended attributes using setfattr. Though I have no idea how to find a file by extended attribute.

    Well, Viewsonic site says it comes with 2.2 http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/spec.htm And if the version you are getting has 2.1 on it, it looks like it will update itself to 2.2 http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/support.htm

    The latest gTablet software update was released December 23, 2010 and deployed via automatic Over-the-Air update.

  16. Re:Hence infinite? on Universe 250+ Times Bigger Than What Is Observable · · Score: 1

    I believe that space is infinite, in that you can keep moving in any direction without hitting a wall.

    Unless, of course, there is a wall on your way.

    You mean MS Ford, right?

  18. Re:Online ruled out? on How Do You Store Your Personal Photos? · · Score: 2

    Until Yahoo kills the service and deletes all your data. But I'm sure they'd never kill Flickr the way they killed Yahoo Photos[...]

    From the article linked by you:

    However, the company is offering several options for moving your photos to alternative services. In addition to Yahoo-owned Flickr, users can automatically migrate their photos to their accounts on Photobucket, Shutterfly, Snapfish, and Kodak Gallery.

    I personally didn't care about my photos there, so I didn't do anything and all my photos ended up on Flicker. What's your story?

    Now figure out a way to get people to stop using IE6. (maybe an add-on to IE9 that makes it so you can run your ancient IE6 only apps?)

    Yeah... Maybe they should ask Google to write an IE6-frame for them, or something.
