  1. Re:Hackersforcharity.org on Ask Slashdot: Geeky Volunteer Work? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for reminding this. Great idea indeed. He did a nice talk at Shmoo -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mjLbbUmpw8.

  2. Roll your own on Ask Slashdot: Chromeless Cross-Platform Browser? · · Score: 1

    Right, as someone suggested it's very easy to embed the customized browser component into your own thin frame. Many browsers provide these components. Just put it up together with integrated web server, database or whatever you need to run the application. It can be easily automated using custom installer. If I were to write something similar from the scratch I'd think about separately supporting offline and online modes with transparent synchronization. There are plenty of pseudo-HTML5 libraries emerging these days that try to use the best facilities available in your system.

  3. Re:OpenBSD Rock Solid OS without fluf. on OpenBSD Marches Toward 5.0 Release · · Score: 2

    OpenBSD is the operating system, Linux is kernel.

  4. Nostalgic video on New Russian Weapon Hides In Shipping Container · · Score: 1

    Brought me back to the Battlefield 1942 days.. especially soundtrack

  5. East on Google Street View Logs Wi-Fi Networks, MAC Addresses · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they are going to drive further to East Europe, post Soviet countries in particular as Google Maps services seem to be kinda dead for those.. not yet profitable ?

  6. Is it ? on Biggest Study On Cellphone Health Effects Launched in Europe · · Score: 1

    Does the "Biggest Study" mean that we have to take its results for granted ? I think that's why they are using those keywords like "Biggest" for..

  7. Re:Facebook on Facebook and the "Social Graph" · · Score: 1

    Exactly.. after all it's monopoly and IMHO it's much more better to have many different community driven wiki-like sites/services having different goals. Wikipedia, Stack Overflow and friends, Slashdot :).. Music, event websites and so on. Facebook is obviously taking too much these days - net in the net.

  8. Re:Easy workaround on US Changes How Air Travelers Are Screened · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the tip !

  9. Cat my tongue on Postgres Project To Go NoSQL · · Score: 1

    PostgreWTF, too many breaking news today (not only here), it is becoming difficult to distinguish 'serious' ones.. what's so serious in this world anyway.

  10. For communist party on Perelman Urged To Accept $1m Prize · · Score: 1

    It's for communist's party. It was written that they asked him to accept the price and donate everything to the party as they saw 'true communist's' spirit in him or something.. Remember that everything's being taken under control in R..

  11. What about Opera on A Skeptical Comparison of HTML5 Video Playback To Flash · · Score: 1

    Strange comparison. Last Toms Hardware browser competition showed that Opera beats all other browsers when it comes to Flash. I regret the author doesn't touch Opera here (or did I overlooked that ?) Anyway it seems to me that Chrome HTML5 support is likely to be improved soon.

  12. GNU Screen and vim is all you need on IDEs With VIM Text Editing Capability? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Vim has so many IDE features (autocompletion, ctags, syntax), hundreds of plugins that let you customize your environment.. snippets, Doxygen, debugging, compiling.. I'll only suggest you one thing: better concentrate on improving your Vim environment than searching for any other tool that embeds it. Use Vim with GNU Screen after all, that'll give you true IDE experience.
