  1. What were they thinking? on Wine 3.0 Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    So much flak for an open source product that is able to run nearly everything i throw at it (after some tweaking)... Is this windows hate by proxy?

  2. Re:Monopolies gonna monopolize. on Opinion: Chrome is Turning Into the New Internet Explorer 6 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I second this. You have to get used to the way you have to design websites to make them functional if javascript is turned off, but it is worth it.

    Noscript users will second that websites that are completely non-functional ("whitescreen") without javascript are useless.

  3. I could never see any morale in what the NSA does. Another case of a Pandoras box opened with grim consequences for everyone.

    Instead of a Information network contributing to human kind we now have a weapons platform that allows to kill without a trace.

  4. Re:Such a shame... on Kinect Is Really Dead Now, Basically (gamespot.com) · · Score: 1

    I found the lag between jumping and the avatar jumping very noticeable, but it created some entertaining evenings.

  5. Re:Mine is sitting on a robot on Kinect Is Really Dead Now, Basically (gamespot.com) · · Score: 1

    Comparable Products that come to mind: Intel RealSense, Structure Sensor (hackable iPad addon), Orbbec Astra 3D, etc.

  6. An actor dropping some tweets to some politician is slashdot worthy?

    gaaawd :(

  7. What were they thinking? on Mozilla Slipped a 'Mr. Robot'-Promo Plugin Into Firefox and Users Are Pissed (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    It is obvious to me that such a move (installing a piece of software without asking the user) is a breach of trust.

    Why did they do it? Are they THAT stupid? Or was the sum payed to Firefox THAT big?

  8. Re:What a load of twaddle.... on Does Systemd Make Linux Complex, Error-Prone, and Unstable? (ungleich.ch) · · Score: 1

    Absolute brilliant answer.

    Yeah, here too. I never use journalctl because of its noisy output, when something failed i mostly tail the logfile of the application itself, with the added bonus of not having to deal with a binary log (gawd what a bad idea!)

  9. I want a web where... on Google Wants Progressive Web Apps To Replace Chrome Apps (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1

    google does not spy on your life AND internet is free and uncensored, everywhere.

    this would free us from the need of another google "invention" that goes down the drain in one or two years.

  10. Chrome "APPS" on Google Wants Progressive Web Apps To Replace Chrome Apps (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Chrome "APPS" are just that: Not real apps. More like normal Websites.

    Chrome Apps: useless.

    AMP: useless.

    "progressive" apps: useless.

    Googles own fault for coming up with such crap.

  11. If Mozilla continues alienating their loyal user base by changing the gui every release without fixing the abysmal multicore performance i guarantee that the user base won't jump on the firefoxOS bandwagon.

  12. Tackerbot on New MakerBot CEO Explains Layoffs and the Company's New Vision · · Score: 1

    Patent stealing scum with bad hardware and abysmal support... i don't think makerbot will survive the next to years.

    And then all makerbot owners have those very expensive machines that constantly break and no spare parts available.

  13. 7 days runtime on Pebble Time Smartwatch Receives Overwhelming Support On Kickstarter · · Score: 1

    'nuff said.

  14. Number 1: Humanity itself on Oxford University Researchers List 12 Global Risks To Human Civilization · · Score: 1

    Somehow that selfish, greedy monkey called human will manage to destroy itself.

  15. including hormon replacement therapy? on Testosterone Increasingly Being Used To Fight Aging In Men · · Score: 1

    14 tonnes, does that include or exclude the use of T for transgender folks?

  16. Vendor lock-in on New Multi-Core Raspberry Pi 2 Launches · · Score: 1

    The CSI port is universal, but there is only one camera available from the pi foundation.
    The DSI port is universal, not working after 3 years, only display usable will be from the pi foundation.

  17. because most people won't touch patent-scum makerbot with a 20 foot pole.

  18. = 5-digit figure tax payed on Apple Posts $18B Quarterly Profit, the Highest By Any Company, Ever · · Score: 0

    meanwhile: chinese workers slowly die, economies in crisis because of missing tax money, trash piles, heavy energy consumption.

    It's time to stop this madness and bring out phones that last 4 years minimum.

  19. Because OSX gets worse by the minute on Why Run Linux On Macs? · · Score: 1
    • So far apple broke:
    • secondary monitor is detected, but not useable (10.8)
    • wifi dropouts (10.8)
    • bluetooth keyboard/mouse lose connection over the day (10.9)
    • wakeup via mouse/keyboard stopped working (10.9)
  20. Microsoft and Apple giggle on SystemD Gains New Networking Features · · Score: 1

    as the linux community tears itself to shreads.

  21. Apples vs. Bananas on PHP vs. Node.js: the Battle For Developer Mind Share · · Score: 1

    Those articles are generally stupid, but this must be the most stupid comparison i've ever read. No numbers, just hunches.

  22. Oh noes Makerbot! on Hands On With MakerBot's 3D-Printed Wood · · Score: 2

    Just a reminder: Makerbot is patenting community created inventions. Their printers are overpriced, and the new extruders wear out very quickly.

  23. price tripled, quality dipped on Box Office 2014: Moviegoing Hits Two-Decade Low · · Score: 1

    only prequels, sequels and so on left. no quality material anymore. too expensive. hollywood is to blame.

  24. Any proof? on US Links North Korea To Sony Hacking · · Score: 1

    Claiming is not proofing.

    Too bad the hackers that previously hacked the german GEMA did not download and leak everything they found. This company needs to die.

  25. Meanwhile: NSA spying continues on Google Closing Engineering Office In Russia · · Score: 1

    We are so f*cked.
