  1. Re:Desktop integration on Android Needs a Simulator, Not an Emulator · · Score: 1

    Integrate the Android support in Debian (which is free from corporate interests) and it will flow downstream. Easy-peasy :)

  2. Re:Desktop integration on Android Needs a Simulator, Not an Emulator · · Score: 1

    What does Canonical have to do with anything?

  3. ATI Catalyst on $3000 GeForce GTX TITAN Z Tested, Less Performance Than $1500 R9 295X2 · · Score: 1

    Working Linux drivers cost $1500 and your soul, apparently...

  4. Re:"It's been turned over to other people" ? on Bitcoin Inventor Satoshi Nakamoto Outed By Newsweek · · Score: 2

    Write code, fix bugs, create promotional material and documentation. It's a software project, what else would they be doing?

  5. Re:Guarantee on Ask Slashdot: Should Developers Fix Bugs They Cause On Their Own Time? · · Score: 1

    And the bottom line is the process of testing depends on luck

  6. Re:More reprsentative stats please on IE Drops To Single-Digit Market Share · · Score: 1

    When you visit my site with IE8 and lower, it sets the background color to the foreground color so that you can't read the text. I want my progressive enhancement to be REALLY progressive.

  7. Re:Some poeple just hate to lose a bet on Stephen Hawking: 'There Are No Black Holes' · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Nope, he was arguing that quantum physics is wrong and black holes don't emit information - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . Now it seems this is pretty much settled - they do, the question is only how.

  8. Re:Makes sense on New Zealand Set To Prohibit Software Patents · · Score: 1

    A major break with this tradition came in the 1980s when the fourth Labour and fourth National governments enacted a series of reforms based on free market ideology. This reinforced many New Zealanders' distrust of intellectual theory, as many consider that the reforms increased poverty and inequality in New Zealand.

    They're just scared of what's happening to the other "intellectual" nations, that's all.

    Mod parent funny, made me LOL (even if true).

  10. Re:Good thing software pats. haven't been around l on Webvention Demanding $80k For Rollover Images · · Score: 1

    Calculus was "patented" for much longer than 20 years (the period was called the "Dark Ages") and we ARE centuries behind, actually. Please refer to http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/8974/title/A_Prayer_for_Archimedes

  11. Re:And the whole GUI overhead on Take This GUI and Shove It · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they recommend that you have a normal GUI server somewhere in your network, so that you can manage the Core servers through the MMC (it supports remote servers).

  12. Re:Not an OS on Canonical Designer Demos Ubuntu Context-Aware UI · · Score: 1

    So what the hell is Windows and OSX?

    Exactly the question I've been asking myself my whole life...

  13. USB thumb drive and udev on Running Old Desktops Headless? · · Score: 1

    I was in a similar situation a while ago, and maybe my experience can help you.
    My home server (P4, by the way) was running headless and I was afraid I can lock myself out (wrong iptables rule or something) or the IP address settings could get screwed up, etc. etc. I don't even have a monitor, so inserting the graphics card back in isn't an option.
    The solution was a USB thumb drive I had, and a modified udev script for mass storage, so it would execute a shell script with a particular name from the root folder of the drive. If something did get screwed up, you just open your text editor, write the commands to be executed, and save it on your flash drive. You even can redirect standard output to a file on the drive.
    It kept me safe for years, although if udev can't start, you may have a problem :)

  14. Re:How does the magic happen? on Using AI With GCC to Speed Up Mobile Design · · Score: 1

    It's all about fast and efficient information exchange. As you can see, Nimzovichy understood me pretty well, and was kind enough to answer my question, so - JOB DONE! Thanks, Nimzovichy, your reply helped a lot!

    So, ppl, any1 know how does it work (I don't mean in details, just background)? I could imagine by testing various optimizations and learning from runtime, or?

  17. Re:SETI on What Are the Best Laptop Theft Recovery Measures? · · Score: 1

    That was meant by the "you shuld get lucky" thing. I believe, that hardware customization (stickers and such) is a pretty good solution to the problem.
