  1. Open source it !!! on Let Us Now Praise MacroMind Director (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why software has to die? Open source it !!! I guess there is still one crazy guy out there that still wants to use it and develop it !!

  2. Finally... on Apple Patents a Vaporizer (cnn.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    iOdor is going to be released.

  3. Internet Archive is also Important... on Wikimedia Foundation Nabs $3 Million Grant To Improve Accessibility of Free Commons' Content (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The Internet Archive will became the backup of all the knowledge in the world. I think it is also important to donate to that project / library. https://archive.org/donate/

  4. Open source? on Interviews: Ask Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst A Question (redhat.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What is current commitment of Redhat with open source for 2017? Redhat may be the most profitable software company that endorse open source their products. What is the recommendation for other companies to be profitable and at the same time remain being good open source citizens?

  5. ...discontinued Google TV. on Programmer Finds Way To Liberate Ransomware Affected Smart TV, Thanks To LG (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Let's remember that Google TV has been discontinued. Now it is Android TV, and if I don't get it wrong LG newer TV's now ship with WebOS. So, there is Ramsonware for the unsupported old Google TVs ? And I thought that having a discontinued OS that you can not update on a TV was bad enough.

  6. Re:Same thing being done at other libraries. on Library Creates Fake Patron Records To Avoid Book-Purging (heraldnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I also think that the best way to preserve a book is to also to digitize it. The open library has a great idea for copyrighted books, they scan the books they own, the books is stored in a container and they share it online only one person at the time and can not be copied. If the person don't return the digital book, the system just check it in automatically after some days. Check http://www.openlibrary.org/ and Internet Archive.

  7. Re:Why purge? on Library Creates Fake Patron Records To Avoid Book-Purging (heraldnet.com) · · Score: 2

    There is the problem that old books that can not be sold are being purged (or recycled). I think the best way for the moment is send a copy of each book the Internet Archive Book Drive. They take some time to scan the books, but at least there is a chance for knowledge to be preserved. https://blog.archive.org/2010/...

  8. OS/2 Warp Version 4 Certification Handbook on What's the Best Book You Read This Year? · · Score: 1

    We all know it is the future. http://www.os2world.com/wiki/i... (looking for crazy open source developers to clone Presentation Manager)

  9. I read the headline wrong again... on Virtual Reality is Pushing Gaming Into Another 'Golden Age': Xbox Co-founder (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I thought the Golden Axe game was returning in VR.

  10. Google Wifi: Does it support mobile set up only ? on Google Gets Serious About Home Automation: Unveils Google Home, Actions on Google and Google Wifi (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I know everybody says it is easy to set up with Android or iOS, but I miss the old days when a router was able to be set up with the web browser and you have full control over its features.

  11. Solution, the Internet Archive !!!! on Vint Cerf Warns About the Perishability Of Human Knowledge (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's why we have to support the Internet Archive library. Let's have a backup of everything there !! https://archive.org/

  12. Re:facepalm on SETI's 'Strong Signal' Came From Earth (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    It is a conspiracy. Russians wants to contact the aliens first, so they are saying it was a signal from earth :)

  13. For a little moment I freaked out... on Dropbox Is Urging Users To Reset Their Passwords (fortune.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...I read Dosbox urges your to change your password... WHERE???!!!

  14. Just two links ??? on Tesla Removes 'Self-driving' From China Website After Beijing Crash (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    ..Slashdotters are getting lazy to post more links on the articles. I would put a link over "fatal accident in Florida".

    Sorry if I was too aggressive. http://imgur.com/jSYUL30

  16. It is done... on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deal With Unreasonable Companies? · · Score: 1

    ...I have already put AVAST just 1 star on Google Maps so nobody will buy their coffee again. https://www.google.com/maps/pl...

  17. Re:You have already done it. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deal With Unreasonable Companies? · · Score: 1

    I also agree that "You have already done it", but in a different way. You have exposed Avast to all the people that reads Slashdot and I'm guessing that this is hurting the brand in a way they are paying back a lot more of what you expended on them (I guess). Let's hope they don't try to sue you for punitive damages.

  18. Note to my students... on Positive Link Between Video Games and Academic Performance, Study Suggests (theguardian.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Please notice that this does not mean to stop studying and play video games !!!

  19. VIA/S3 Unichrome Pro Integrated Video Adapter [BIO on Microsoft Store Offers Free Laptop If They Can't Upgrade Your PC To Windows 10 (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    I have a Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 clone PC with a "VIA/S3 Unichrome Pro Integrated Video Adapter [BIOSTAR MICROTECH] 1106:3343" video adapter that looks like crap on Windows 10. Will it be covered by the Microsoft's upgrade requirements? Who knows?

  20. Re:Third time on Lenovo Warns Users To Upgrade Pre-Installed Tool With Severe Security Holes · · Score: 1

    LSC is a basic tool to scan for hardware malfunction on the machine. It is not critical and also does not have any third party publicity. I think that since SuperFish Lenovo has been watching his back about this subject. Specially on Thinkpads the software on Windows 10 is very limited and controlled (for the moment). Here it is a list of what I have found: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/...

  21. Re:Where is it? on Lenovo Warns Users To Upgrade Pre-Installed Tool With Severe Security Holes · · Score: 1

    It is only a Windows things... yeah, I know nobody uses it anymore :)

  22. No trust since SuperFish ? on Lenovo Warns Users To Upgrade Pre-Installed Tool With Severe Security Holes · · Score: 2

    It seems dumb to post every little security update to Lenovo software. It is like posting the Windows security fixes each week. It will be better to post this kind of news if a chaos starts because of this. Is this because we lost the trust with SuperFish? or it is because it is a Chinese company?

  23. yeah...yeah.. flash was safe... on HTML5 Ads Aren't That Safe Compared To Flash, Experts Say (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1
