    look at the name, it says it all .. its a ranking algorithm.

    just as normal, by the ads in tv.
    when i miss the show, i see no ads, when i watch the show from bittorrent, i see no ads either. so its no benefit/detriment for the show, only a benefit for me. so not to allow me to watch the show from bittorrent is making it worse for me without making anything better for the copyright holder

  5. Not unusual on Mozilla Leaves Out Linux For Initial Web App Support · · Score: 1

    For Mozilla, windows was the most important platform since a long time. Most features are tested on windows most of the time, and fixes are faster for windows. You really can see, where the priorities are. But thats not that bad, because ugly stuff like autoupdaters, firefox-button, etc. are just not coming (that bad) to linux, because mozilla keeps its more traditional stuff on linux (as default).

    a rolling release distro has no releases at all, thats the point. or, if you want to define the term: one release, which is rolling out new updates all the time.

  8. Re:The perspective of a home user on updates on Google Talks About Its Ubuntu Experience · · Score: 1

    windows updates are slow (in download and installing) and opaque to the user. "is it done?" "reboot" "installing updates ... [while shutdown]". Start again: "installing updates [while booting]" "reboot required, because updates were installed" ... speaking for my win7 VM in VirtualBox, maybe this is making it worse than on a real pc.

    no, its not. sms are nearly free for carriers, as they consume very little ressources in the network. They just make very much profit of them. So they could offer them for free and make profit only with calls / with contract fees.

    you're speaking like a typical windows user.
    update? oh no, it will break things, try to detect my pirated software and make everything slower.

    the typical linux user is more like:
    upgrade? cool, new features, more stable software, better drivers.

    some modified ubuntu rollout is no distro, its your way of rolling out ubuntu in your company. Its a Distribution, when you make it available for other persons.

    Ubuntu is a really nice 6 monthly debian release, just do not use the ubuntu-desktop but kde or gnome or whatever else. The Crap is centered around unity, so do not use unity and the software-center, and you do not notice the sucking parts.

    you're implying, that someone who uses a computer for a long time NEEDS to know something about computers. so like "you're having a car for a long time, why can't you just fix the engine yourself"

  21. Re:Upgrades do suck on Google Talks About Its Ubuntu Experience · · Score: 2

    debian stable is a debian testing after freeze and stabilization. ubuntu lts is whatever debian testing was, when the ubuntu LTS release was scheduled to be released + some minor fixes. so for stability parity, ubuntu would need to wait for debian testing to freeze before making a new LTS.

    yeah, and what do browsers do, which are older than the .secure domain? or browsers, which just support normal networking without special rules for .secure? And how should the average User tell, if a browser supports secure or not?

  25. someone did not understand DNS on New .secure Internet Domain On Tap · · Score: 1

    of course you can check, if an ip only runs https, when registering the domain. But you cannot check, if the ip accepts http at some point later on ... and even with regular checks, a firewall could allow http for clients and disallow it for the checker-ip.

    Also implying https on = secure. then the browser display of 'valid certificate' would just be enough.
