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

    Running latest Ubuntu. Battery lasts forever, chroot running on Gentoo...

  2. Hangouts "loses" messages on Google Hangouts and SMS Integration: A Mess, For Now · · Score: 1

    I had to switch to "Adium" because Hangouts doesn't track all of my messages. There is no "sync" button. And I couldn't find a way to refresh the screen. A co-worker IM'd me a message and when I looked inside of gmail/hangouts on my PC it wasn't there. However, hangouts on my tablet had the message. I guess I could have e-mailed the message to myself. Or I could turn off my tablet so it would stop getting messages. However, if the message ended up on my phone, what am I supposed to do turn off my phone? Why can't their client either have a refresh/sync button or manage multiple Clients?

  3. Re:Document Management System on Ask Slashdot: Version Control For Non-Developers? · · Score: 2

    Alfresco Document Management. Gives you a Folder Structure with Version Control.

  4. Re:BAU on Belgian Raid Kills 2, Said To Avert "Major Terrorist Attacks" · · Score: 2

    You nuke a city, we nuke a city. I say we start with Mecca. Three times a day, you can kneel, bow, and remember - for 10,000 years.

  5. Why the big Pipes doesn't want Net Neutrality on FCC Says It Will Vote On Net Neutrality In February · · Score: 1

    They want to charge more! Remember when they wanted to charge for every byte? One big pipe is one cost, a hundred little pipes are individual billings. Imagine them charging for access to every site. If access to a site is too slow, you won't use it. If you want it bad enough you will pay. Sounds like Cable and Satellite TV. They control the Pipe, they control your access. And without their PIpe, how will we get access to the Internet?

  6. Lighttable on Ask Slashdot: Correlation Between Text Editor and Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    Clojure = LightTable
    Java = Eclipse
    Emacs = good O/S, lousy editor. I use it for magit, XML and scratch pad. I keep a cheat sheet on my desktop.
    Vim = I use it automatically from the command-line to edit files. Also use it as part of a "find" to edit files down in the bowels of file system.

    Honorable mentions:
    Cursive - Remote debugging with NREPL is to menu intensive.
    IntelliJ with Cursive might become my choice for Clojure.

  7. Priceline Bids for Meals on Priceline To Buy OpenTable For $2.6 Billion · · Score: 1

    New Ads will start appearing on TV. You put in your bid for a meal, they contact the restaurants and fine one willing to take your money. You do not get a choice of time, date or meal, just a guaranteed reservation in a restaurant in your city.

  8. 26 Billion on Priceline To Buy OpenTable For $2.6 Billion · · Score: 1

  9. Hats on Protecting Our Brains From Datamining · · Score: 0

    And you laughed at my tinfoil hat!

  10. If Java is your only language... on "Feline Herd" Offers Easier Package Management For Emacs · · Score: 1

    Vi is great if you are editing a line based language.
    Eclipse is great if you are editing Java.
    For everything else, Emacs.

    If you are doing iterative programming, then keep running your JUnit Tests.
    So, keep running mvn, make and ant from the Command Line.

    If you are doing Functional Programming, then writing code Interactively is the "Cats Ass".
    I prefer to write a function and execute it immediately!
    No running JUnit Tests iteratively, which means running all the tests.

    And yes, some of this is available in Eclipse and IntelliJ, but not as well integrated.

  11. Re:Slashdot... on Microsoft's Surface RT Was Doomed From Day One · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No, I hate microsoft! Gates and company bullied and lied and pushed people out of business for their own self-interest. Now he wants to give away the billions he stole to charity. How about giving it back to the people you forced out of business! Modern day Robber Barons with no morals! So, yes we do hate Gates and his legacy! Hopefully, this is just another nail in their coffin! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robber_baron_(industrialist) Robber barons is a derogatory term applied to wealthy and powerful 19th-century American businessmen. By the late 1800s, the term was typically applied to businessmen who used what were considered to be exploitative practices to amass their wealth. These practices included exerting control over national resources, accruing high levels of government influence, paying extremely low wages, squashing competition by acquiring competitors in order to create monopolies and eventually raise prices, and schemes to sell stock at inflated prices to unsuspecting investors in a manner which would eventually destroy the company for which the stock was issued and impoverish investors. The term combines the sense of criminal ("robber") and illegitimate aristocracy (a baron is an illegitimate role in a republic).[1]

  12. Mesh Routers on Ask Slashdot: Enterprise Level Network Devices For Home Use? · · Score: 1

    I have been using open-mesh routers for years. http://www.open-mesh.com/ They are reliable, self-organizing and I can get at least 10 Mbps through one with Speedtest.net.

  14. Google Glasses, Tablets, Phones, News Cameras on Congress Demands Answers From Google Over Google Glass Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Same capability, same questions, same answers. Up to the user... Maybe we need to go back to the old laws that require a person holding a lamp to walk in front of every horseless-carriage. It would stop speeding, hit and runs and a lot of accidents. In today's world if you don't want to be recorded, stay home! This has no relationship to the "Street View data collection incident" because that was Google. This is the individual who owns the video device doing the recording. They should be asking how Google plans on stopping their Android Operating System from being used by criminals. And to make sure that their OS isn't being used for illegal activities!!! OMFG

  15. Do what the Manufacturers are doing on Zuckerberg Lobbies For More Liberal Immigration Policies · · Score: 1

    Move the plants there! The talent is there, the wages are cheap, the regulations are minimal. So, take your company and get the fuck out!

  16. New Government Message Plan on UK 'Virtual ID Card' Scheme Set For Launch · · Score: 2

    All Citizens will be able to receive Government Messages through built in channels in the TV's and through computer monitors. In addition, you will be able to pick up your phone address the government by saying "Hello Government" and a Government Watcher will answer back using your phone's microphone and camera. In case of an emergency, all you have to do is yell "help government" or "911 government" and someone will be available to help. After all, your government is Watching out for your safety and benefit. In addition, to make the interface with the Government less error prone, the Government is build a special vocabulary that the phones, computers and TV's will understand. It will be taught in schools, community colleges and online. Just search for "newspeak".

  17. The Senate on House Passes Amendment To Block Funds For Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    I hope the Senate just ignores these people!

  18. Or they could fix the title on Teaching Game Development To Fine Arts Students? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, there is an app for that...

  20. Rhythmbox started skipping... on Some Early Adopters Stung By Ubuntu's Karmic Koala · · Score: 0

    Don't know if this was due to the upgrade or to my Virtualbox usage. Anyway, tried Amarok, still can't make sense of the settings, so I went with Banshee. Seems to be fine. Did have one instance where the system went to sleep or it ignored the fancy apple keyboard and wouldn't wake up. So I rebooted.

  21. Skynet on Lockheed Snags $31 Million To Reinvent the Internet, Microsoft To Help · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, we have to have at least one post referencing Skynet. And someone needs to post something about our new overlords...
