    Yes, but Opera isn't FOSS, whereas Chromium is. And OP was saying that FOSS didn't get "good" performance anymore, that they "lagged behind". Well, FOSS may not be "the best", but it certainly isn't "lagging behind".

    Here's something interesting: I was modded down because I said that I don't believe in God. Say, who the FUCK DID THAT?

    I propose that C is proof of P
    C is refuted as proof of P
    Hence, P isn't true

    FALSE! Think about it! We've disproved many theories which calimed to be proof of god's existance. But that doesn't mean we proved that god doesn't exist, unfortunately, for my atheist mind.

    "Both solutions have their benefits, and both are appropriate for different circumstances. This also blows a hole in the "only one persistent store" idea. Systems should use the resources they need, and no more. It seems obvious to me."

    Now THAT is what should be posted all over Slashdot. It is true.

  12. Re:Wine? on Breathing New Life Into Old DirectDraw Games · · Score: 1

    My apps have worked great. Some times I debug it when it's not working. Unlike most other /.'ers, I've both contributed, complemented and helped the Wine project. I feel sorry that it didn't help you in your case, but it has worked in most of my cases -- in some occasions, applications that crashed in Windows didn't crash in Wine; and most of the time, nongfxintensive apps run faster due to having less Windows SHIT overhead.

    I admit I haven't RTFA, but I watched the video and it clearly is something workable by the means of a Firmware update. This war is as lost as the PSP war was before they found out about Pandora...

    I just RTFA. It isn't that good. These aren't many tips and they also don't seem to be too specialized. Most of them are already known or predictable. I can say that I didn't learn anything from TFA.

    I think that anything that reads "___ things to know about ____" or similar gets instant hits on /.

  17. Well on Leaders Aren't Being Made At Tech Firms · · Score: 1

    Leadership training has always been a lie. All the theories upon which training was based have been refuted or considered non-trainable. I believe that we will be able to settle for the right leadership training, but how can we do it if we don't even have a consensus on which Group Development theory is right? After all, the role of the leader is that of realizing which stage of group development an organization is and, then, take appropriate measures to burst productivity, either by utilizing a privileged development stage, or directing the group towards another development stage.

    I like the Integrated Development Model that is used here in the University of Coimbra in many things ( http://bit.ly/90XCCA for instance). This is a modified version of Wheelan’s Integrated Model of Group Development, it's Miguez and Lourenço's Integrated Model of Group Development.

    Other examples where this theory is exposed: http://bit.ly/9CmeNA and https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.psicologia.com.pt/artigos/textos/A0338.pdf (mentions it) and http://www.slideshare.net/daniellopes314/gesto-de-equipas and http://bit.ly/aU9Rvy

    They may all be in Portuguese, but they show a real (and IMO, the best) approach to Leadership and the likes.

  21. Re:The true believer on Hawking Picks Physics Over God For Big Bang · · Score: 1

    Scientists can keep out of religion's way if the reverse is also true. Without proper proof, nothing should be said. Since religion's proof is non-deductible, and most scientific proof is deductible (hence, fail-proof unless we challenge one of the base axioms), then I can confidently say that Science is the only one to hear when it comes to religion if proof is given.

  25. Re:Move along on Some Windows Apps Make GRUB 2 Unbootable · · Score: 1

    I really don't know why they were running it.

    Oh, wait, I do! It's because there's next to none PR for Linux and, thus, new users who are used to Windows decide to try it out in a "safe" environment (the real-thing safe, not the VM safe). It's because the inferior Windows operating system is around and everywhere that so many people can't get rid of it with ease. I, myself, dual-booted an old Windows for a year until I made the final move to my beloved operating system, which obeys my every command.

    And why shouldn't they "be dual booting into Windows in the first place"? Who the hell are you to decide the "moral" of running an OS or not? You may judge the OS architecture and judge users -- however, you cannot objectify your opinion and state that "they shouldn't be doing X". You can say that "In my opinion, they shouldn't be doing X".

    Now go reboot your machine, I'm sure Windows has updated for the fifth time of the day already.
