  1. Re:Yes & the sheer amount of existing code/fra on The Reason For Java's Staying Power: It's Easy To Read · · Score: 0
    you mean that it's easier to read than this?:

    results = items.select {|item| item

    (this kind of expressiveness cannot be achieved by java standard library)

  2. There is just one domain that needs to be shutdown on Microsoft Takes Down No-IP.com Domains · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And it's microsoft.com, the creator and perpetrator of Internet Explorer and Windows, the two biggest malwares ever invented. They should be shutdown immediately. Thanks.

  3. Re:25%?? on Google Releases Dart 1.1 · · Score: 1

    even if it was slower, going away from javascript is always a good idea, if the alternative is a better programming language... JS is a mess!

  4. Re:Who wants email hosted by Federal Government? on Brazil Announces Secure Email To Counter US Spying · · Score: 1

    You are missing the point here... this e-mail service is manly focused on the governament itself... it's made so that the governament can force every governament entity to use their solution instead of offloading it to google apps or making people use hotmail/gmail as I see in many situations... this is a very welcomed step in the right direction...

  5. The freedom country on DOJ: Defendant Has No Standing To Oppose Use of Phone Records · · Score: 1

    Enjoy your freedom. OH WAIT

  6. Just give me the fastest option on Intel, Red Hat Working On Enabling Wayland Support In GNOME · · Score: 1

    I dont care if its Mir (which I found to be superior) or wayland (which I believe will be the one with fast adoption and fully supported by the restricted drivers)... just give me the fastest solution and for god sake, fix the starting up "resolution change thing" that make impossible to display a fucking logo correctly...

  7. Re:find & diff on Ask Slashdot: Asynchronous RAID-1 Free Software Backup For Laptops? · · Score: 1

    BtSync is not officially opensource, but authors are considering opening it: http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/17782-bittorrent-sync-faq-unofficial/

  8. Some alternatives (ubuntu) on Ask Slashdot: Asynchronous RAID-1 Free Software Backup For Laptops? · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu documentation lists some alternatives: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem one that is not listed there, and that I used many years ago is "UNISON"... I found it faster and better then rsync, also it does binary diff, so for big files that only "metadata" changed, it transfers faster.

  9. Re:Expect more of this. on The Black Underbelly of Windows 8.1 'Blue' · · Score: 1

    we have every incentive to not upgrade... also, gamer will find out that steam for linux is evolving everyday, being a viable alternative in the near future

  10. the important question on OpenGL 4.4 and OpenCL 2.0 Specs Released · · Score: 1

    the important question is... when we will see it delivered on Linux drivers?

  11. Re:Wrong Summary on Wayland 1.2.0 Released With Weston · · Score: 2

    Mir is another alternative/competitor to Xorg... the difference is that Mir is following the idea of a rigid protocol where Mir is following the idea of providing an API... both of then have drawbacks... but I'm confident that Mir could win the run. History has prooved that its not the "perfect engineered solution" that always win... Despite of what you think... in the end... its all about user adoption.
