  1. Debian Testing Tested on Ubuntu Linux Continues To Dominate OpenStack and Other Clouds (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    AKA Ubuntu Server :) That being said, they do polish it up very nicely. Debian dragging their feet on PPA support certainly doesn't help IMO.

  2. If only they would invent a small card ... on Obama Urges Opening Cable TV Boxes To Competition (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    that the cable company provides that you could insert into your own cable box. /sarcasm

  3. Now ripping off youtube videos will be way faster! on Facebook Replaces Flash With HTML5 For Videos (facebook.com) · · Score: 1

    Imagine all the money they'll save in processing power no longer having to convert videos people have ripped off from Youtube into flash video formats. :D

  4. Re:CrashPlan on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Back-Up Tool For Business? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, not opensource but free. :(

  5. CrashPlan on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Back-Up Tool For Business? · · Score: 1

    Can be used entirely for free and encrypted backups. The CrashPlan makes money with their cloud backup features. You can back machines up to a single machine or multiple machines on your network that have CrashPlan installed one them. You can run in a scheduled mode or do realtime (every 15 minutes?) backups.

  6. So that's why their customer service took a crap.. on 'First, Let's Get Rid of All the Bosses' -- the Zappos Management Experiment · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I used to evangelize to people about this place and then everything about them started to suck. Their prices were always the best and they had amazing customer service. All that seems to have changed now. Coincidence?

  7. I always max the memory right out of the gate on Revisiting How Much RAM Is Enough Today For Desktop Computing · · Score: 1

    Wait a bit for the current gen to mature and the memory prices to come down. Then max that sucker out.

  8. Psssh.. my flash light app can do all that ... on Hacking Team's RCS Android May Be the Most Sophisticated Android Malware Ever Exposed · · Score: 5, Funny

    ;)

  9. Was performance a major issue? on Microsoft Edge Performance Evaluated · · Score: 1

    I always thought it was security and compatibility that drove people away from Microsoft browsers.

  10. Notifications + Custom Watch faces. on Apple Watch Still Waiting On App Developers · · Score: 1

    That's what I want and love about my Android Wear watch. You don't really need it for anything else.

  11. Translation.... on Pluto Probe Back To Normal, Cause of Snafu Found · · Score: 1

    Someone sat on the keyboard.

  12. Acceptable Ads my a** on Adblock Plus Victorious Again In Court · · Score: 2

    Taboola is on that list. The kings of click-bait. They use about 4 million different domains to avoid being blocked outright as well. BS. The crappy part is I actually value Googles Ads but if you disable all acceptable ads you disable all sites.

  13. You know what we call that in the United States? on Russian Space Agency Misused $1.8 Billion, May Be Replaced · · Score: 0

    Tuesday.

  14. So they didn't work with OBS? on YouTube Live Streams Now Support HTML5 Playback and 60fps Video · · Score: 2

    OBS being easily THE most popular streaming software around, which is open source and free. That's awesome Google, way to blow it.

  15. Move to the US! on Ask Slashdot: Career Advice For an Aging Perl Developer? · · Score: 1

    We'll hire you! :)

  16. I've been meaning to get one ... on Yubikey Neo Teardown and Durability Review · · Score: 1

    and Google even supports them for authentication. Unless you are a paying customer and use Google for Work (Google Apps), they don't support that yet. :/

  17. 120/144Hz has spoiled me. on A Look At GTA V PC Performance and Image Quality At 4K · · Score: 1

    I won't even consider it until DisplayPort 1.3 is the prevalent standard on all monitors. Don't give me that g-sync/free-sync crap either. :)

  18. Single thread performance is generally what ... on A Look At GTA V PC Performance and Image Quality At 4K · · Score: 1

    is most important for games. Probably see better performance out of a 4790K which is still king for i7s AFAIK.

  19. I've been reading The Strain Trilogy on Long Uptime Makes Boeing 787 Lose Electrical Power · · Score: 1

    I kind of did a double take when I saw the title. The book/series starts out with a brand new Boeing 777 losing power on the run way. :)

  20. Re:Perl! on Which Programming Language Pays the Best? Probably Python · · Score: 1

    I love Perl as well (and I make well over that). But I'll be honest with you. After 20+ years of programming in Perl I love programming in Python a whole lot more.

  21. When I was in college ... on Duke: No Mercy For CS 201 Cheaters Who Don't Turn Selves In By Wednesday · · Score: 3, Interesting

    many of the "international" comp sci / engineering students prided themselves on beating the system (less time in college == less living expenses) by taking 24 or more credits per quarter. The way they did this was cheating their asses off by copying homework. Most of the work for comp sci / engineering was done in the labs so they'd rummage through the trash cans and look for other student's printed off drafts. :/

  22. The big 4 will smack em down on Why CurrentC Will Beat Out Apple Pay · · Score: 1

    Are these companies really willing to have all their credit card processing pulled? Simple as that and CurrentC dies.

  23. This should come in handy considering ... on Commander Keen: Keen Dreams Source Code Released · · Score: 1

    that the new hotness is to say "F that GPU, I want to make a game with graphical parity to the late 80s!" :)

  24. COBOL is fun!! on College Students: Want To Earn More? Take a COBOL Class · · Score: 1

    Took we had to take it in CS back in the early 90s. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Now, would I want to program in it for the rest of my life? Probably not. :D
