  1. Re:Google being mildly evil... on Gmail Takes Largest Webmail Service Crown · · Score: 1

    Nope, but it means that they will probably maintain a pretty big user base for a while south of the border.

  2. Stronghold in Latin America on Gmail Takes Largest Webmail Service Crown · · Score: 1

    I traveled South America for a year and everyone I know there uses Hotmail. When I show them Gmail, they don't see enough benefits to switch.

  3. Javascript? on Ask Slashdot: No-Install Programming At Work? · · Score: 1

    So if you already know HTML/CSS, why not learn Javascript? Use a web IDE if you can't install anything locally. http://c9.io/

  4. Let me see the code... on Ask Slashdot: Open Vs. Closed-Source For a Start-Up · · Score: 1

    and I will let you know if you should GPL it.

  5. YMCA! on Uniforms For the Help Desk? · · Score: 1

    I would be upset.

  6. Oracle != Linux on Oracle's Take On Red Hat Linux · · Score: 1

    Luckily, the only people I hear recommending Oracle's Linux is DBAs. All sys admins I know (including myself) wouldn't even consider it. RedHat all the way.

  7. Interoperability? on Boycott Novell Protesters Manhandled In India · · Score: 1

    Interoperability = open standards, not open source companies jumping in bed with Microsoft. Thanks Boycott Novell for ruffling these bastards' feathers.

  8. Re:Kubuntu and Nvidia on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) Released · · Score: 2

    It's no a Compiz issue, I have it disabled. I think it's an issue with XRender. Supposedly Nvidia is working on a fix which will be released soon. I think I'll try patience instead of a work around.

  9. Re:Kubuntu and Nvidia on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    I seem to be affected by this: "Known issues * Users of NVidia cards with the binary driver provided by NVidia might suffer from performance problems in window switching and resizing. We've made the NVidia engineers aware of those problems. However, no fixed NVidia driver has been released yet. You can find information on how to improve graphics performance on Techbase, although we ultimately have to rely on NVidia to fix their driver." I have Quadro NVS 140M. I've tried using the nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new drivers, but the problem persists.

  10. Kubuntu and Nvidia on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Too bad Nvidia didn't fix their driver in time for the 8.10 release. Using VESA sucks. http://kubuntuway.net/

  11. And what about Shockwave? on Why Is Adobe Flash On Linux Still Broken? · · Score: 1

    I wish they would write a version for Linux (good luck though!)
