  1. if you like commandline-tools and the git workflow, try ditz. It does not need git or a VCS, but it can profit from it, when working with a (small) team.

  2. Re:Why can't we have standard fedora + gnome 3.x on An Android Tablet Victory May Be Problematic For Free Software · · Score: 1

    how about plasma active? the livecd looks promising. i would really like to test it on a tablet.

  3. Re:wayland is a bad choice on Ubuntu Still Aims For Wayland in Quantal Quetzal · · Score: 2

    wayland can run on a xserver, and a xserver can be a wayland client. so you're wrong.

  4. Re:Ubuntu to developers: "pound sand" on Ubuntu Still Aims For Wayland in Quantal Quetzal · · Score: 1

    i am using ubuntu on the desktop, and are experimenting with distros on the notebook.
    The latest one i installed there is the current fedora. Its a real nice distro.

    Ah, and just for the record: of course with KDE both machines, because unity and gnome3 are both a mess.

  5. why are IE and safari in the competition? on Firefox Notably Improved In Tom's Hardware's Latest Browser Showdown · · Score: 2

    IMHO It should only contain cross-platform browsers.

  6. I would really like a new atomic bomberman version on Ask Slashdot: How To Get Old Commercial Software To Be Open-Sourced? · · Score: 1

    the old win95 game runs fine on linux with wine, even with IPX networking, but as opensource, it could get new level types and IP networking.

  7. Its okay on Google Proposes Fighting Piracy By Blocking Ad Money · · Score: 1

    The sites are overloaded with ads anyway. Back to the roots, releasing for the honor instead for the money.

  8. Re:Own email server on Gmail Takes Largest Webmail Service Crown · · Score: 1

    for sending. for receiving, i am using my own server then.

  9. Re:De-duped? on Insights Into Google Compute Engine · · Score: 1

    what has a virtual machine to do with de-duplication? right, nothing at all.

  10. Re:Really? on The PHP Singularity · · Score: 1

    read TFA for the "piece of shit" part. He's linking the relevant postings on this.

  11. Re:A certificate isn't the expensive part on Gmail Takes Largest Webmail Service Crown · · Score: 1

    with ipv6 this will be no problem soon.

  12. Re:Gmail defeated Exchange, not Hotmail on Gmail Takes Largest Webmail Service Crown · · Score: 1

    people are saying "look, now google is getting evil" since years ... each time google does something new, people say "thats the point google turns to evil". Hey, if its true, google is now evil since a loooong time. But maybe they are just a company doing what a company does ...

  13. Re:Yeah, I remember. It was a pain. on Gmail Takes Largest Webmail Service Crown · · Score: 1

    greylisting adds to much delay.

  14. Re:Hotmail was great... on Gmail Takes Largest Webmail Service Crown · · Score: 1

    why are you defining a e-mail service which provides imap by its webinterface? you could just install your own roundcube and let it use google's imap server, if you like to. or just use thunderbird or another real email-client.

    define protection.
    it does protect it from faulty disks, and such things quite good, afaik.

  16. Re:Own email server on Gmail Takes Largest Webmail Service Crown · · Score: 1

    the pbl is only an issue for sending. receiving should not be a problem with RBLs. And for sending you could use a smarthost (i.e. gmail :) )

    you can get a certificate for free, check out cacert or startssl.

  18. Re:Own email server on Gmail Takes Largest Webmail Service Crown · · Score: 1

    there are some with 15 Eur per year.
    for a mailserver with a lot of mails, the disk-space may be the limiting factor. traffic is pretty much okay on most vps, RAM might be short on the cheaper ones, but thats no issue for mail, except you need virus-filtering, which might need more ram/cpu. But Post + Spamassassin is okay even on 128 MB RAM (the minimum of most current vps offers)

    yeah, and with weak types, "1"+"1" might be 2, but "1"+"" should better be undefined.

    and that's, whats making php such a cluttered piece of shit.

    no, it started as "personal home page", but just like the KDE project, they settled for a more serious interpretation of the chars.

    choose flash-comic-page-select in the top-menu and choose "first page" to get started.
    Really nice comic, sad that the author is no longer making new comics.
