  1. Re: Looking for alternatives on Oracle Buys Dyn DNS Provider (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    DuckDNS NameCheap also has a dynamic, DNS capability

  2. Re: The GPL is too damn confusing. on Remix OS in Violation of GPL and Apache Licenses (tlhp.cf) · · Score: 1

    MIT/BSD & Creative Commons are my favorite licenses. Clear and concise. GPL is way too long. I think GPL3 is too restrictive, GPL2 is better in this regard- but still to complex.

  3. Re: Anti-virus on AVG, McAfee, Kaspersky Antiviruses All Had a Common Bug (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I run arch, but I do keep windows around for compatibility. I just run free Avast

  4. 7 is pretty much Vista SP2

  5. +Would updat on Is Kitkat Killing Lollipop Uptake? · · Score: 1

    I would update if available, but my S5 may not receive that option for some time; the only new phone with lolipop my carrier offers is the nexus 6, I want a phone- not a tablet

  9. Kubuntu on Ask Slashdot: New To Linux; Which Distro? · · Score: 1

    I love KUBUNTU, but if gnome or xfce is your thing- LMDE

  10. Good new on Steam For Linux Is Now an Open Beta · · Score: 1

    But not many games available yet. Most of my steam games are from humble indie bundles, hence have linux versions. Only a few of those games have made their linux versions available through steam. BTW-- steam runs well on my Kubuntu 12.10 x8-86_64. I have a GTX 650 TI

  11. Superior formats on Mozilla Considers H264 After WebM Fails To Gain Traction · · Score: 1

    Vorbis is an excellent audio codec. VP8 isn't as good as h.264, but it does the job for low res vids I use xVid for alot of my higher RES vids. H.264 also has tons of hardware support, VP8 could possibly match h.264 with that kinda support.

  12. Re:Let's Face It on Mozilla Considers H264 After WebM Fails To Gain Traction · · Score: 1

    I use vorbis and FLAC every once in a wile

    IE will win and FF will die... In other new, Microsoft has decided that it will opensource Windows and pay users $499 to install MS Office

  17. Re:So what does that mean.... on Facebook To Make Facebook Credits Mandatory For Games · · Score: 2

    AFAIK, Nothing. All this means is you can't use a credit card or paypal to buy virtual currency... AFAIK, you will still be able to use credit cards to buy facebook credits, and use the credits to buy virtual currency. I don't think this will affect users.

  18. My Oppinions on Xbox Head Proclaims Blu-ray Dead · · Score: 1

    Way too soon, I know alot of people that are still on dial-up, and` even broad-band is often 2mbits/s down; you ganna start downloading a movie on Monday, so you can watch it on Friday? And I see thus as a step towards "rent everything" and "cloud computing", I want to own and have MY data in my hands
