  1. Asus F555 on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Linux Laptop? · · Score: 0

    Asus F555UA-EB51 15.6-Inch Laptop (2.3 GHz Core i5-6198DU) ASUS F555LA-EH51 Similar. Try to get the Bluetooth onboard. Though that will have the Intel Wifi. The alternative is to go for the Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter. Which is favored by security students. Might need bluetooth dongle to get BT in this case. There may be Bluetooth RF on the chip, though last I emailed the AR9485-Linux-driver auth, BT had not been enabled. Not sure of recent updates. I have the Broadwell version. With Nvidea. Great value.

  2. Resist the temptation! on Node.js Version 6 Released With LTS (sdtimes.com) · · Score: 0
  3. Crap grammar on Senator Al Franken Takes On Oculus Over VR Data Mining (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    ..'like what HTC has done for its Vive headset'... try using the word similar. Really, enough is enough with the txt.grammar.

  4. It's QNX. on BlackBerry Makes Privacy and Control Subscription in BBM Free · · Score: 1

    So look under the hood of a Z10. It takes many years to get a good real time OS singing and dancing. Lucky for BB QNX was available. So good they can launch a decent slidy droid on the side. Drivers in application space. Basics. Someone's done it. It took time.

  5. It's actually a win. on Facebook and Whatsapp Discontinue Support For Blackberry (canadajournal.net) · · Score: 1

    It's actually a win. Browsers can do pretty much all you really want out of this type of app. Xabber for xmpp + other chats anyways.

  6. Best comment I've read of noddy... on IBM Bequeaths the Express Framework To the Node.js Foundation (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 1

    ....Is on slashdot.. http://news.slashdot.org/comme...

  7. HTML5 & SVG. on Adobe Pushing For Flash and PDF In Open Government Initiative · · Score: 1

    Pretty surprised I'm the 1st to suggest this combo. Most 'modern' browsers are close to svg 1.1 now. Google has stated it's interest in svg, hosting this year's svgopen.org. Indexability being a strong draw. Sure, everytime you mention an xml format the json guys cough up bits. Size is reducible by gzip, xslt is not 'pretty' but the flexibility will exercise yer greystuff. MarkT ps: Inkscape.org will convert pdf pages to svg nicely.

  8. A small javascript extension could amend the autop on YouTube, HTML5, and Comparing H.264 With Theora · · Score: 1

    A small javascript extension could amend the autoplay='true' attribute of an inbound video tag.

  9. Re:CO2 causes Global Warming? on Is Climate Change Affecting Bushfires? · · Score: 1

    Not so fast. There may be another path of investigation. Eucalyptus trees produce Eucalyptus oil in the leaves. This, on a hot day produces the blue haze after which the NSW 'Blue Mountains' are named. The oil is highly flamable. In a mix of air, the vapor would be similar to a fuel-air explosive device. This would explain the reports of the fire sounding like a thousand trains. In http://www.anbg.gov.au/callistemon/index.html: "Fire also stimulates the opening of the fruits in some bottlebrushes. " There may be other plants which benefit from a 'pruning'. Evolution has some surprises. My condolences to all who lost loved ones in these fires.

  10. Re:That's not okay. on EU Says MS Must Offer Other Browsers; Now What? · · Score: 1

    Yep, close. Though if you are on the PortableApps path.. ... you have attempted to detach from the MOther. This is made uneazy 4 u. As subsequently, MOtherWine will not recognize an app not 'REGistered'. This subtle disconnect of expectations will not be easy to legislate against. This level of User-level expectation (alleged manipulation) is astonishing.
