  1. That plus good window placement manager on The Case For Flipping Your Monitor From Landscape to Portrait · · Score: 1

    Having upright monitors for 10 years now, but i also use some hotkeys to move individual windows to fullscreen/top/bottom of screen or move them to other monitors. That really made me love upright monitors.

  2. emphasis on "could" on Microsoft's New Windows Monetization Methods Could Mean 'Subscriptions' · · Score: 1

    that article reads more like... they are thinking about it, but nothing is decided yet

  3. Should have been Sony themselfs on The Sony Pictures Hack Was Even Worse Than Everyone Thought · · Score: 1

    and the name of the Operation should be called "OP GEOHOT". Gibson would be proud.

  4. Re:I guess the BND's backdoor on BlackBerry Clears Hurdle For Voice Crypto Acquisition · · Score: 1

    The BND is very dependend on technologies by other agencies, their capabilities are basic. And the groundwork the CCC did ("don't work for agencies") seems to work, no new blood for BND from german hackers.

  5. to quote a friend on Ask Slashdot: IT Career Path After 35? · · Score: 1

    "Work for a medium sized established company, not a startup run by kids."

  6. more snowden releases, now! on New Snowden Docs Show GCHQ Paid Telcos For Cable Taps · · Score: 1

    what about releasing 10% of the cache at once?

  7. Or dont buy Ubisoft titles anymore on Ubisoft Points Finger At AMD For Assassin's Creed Unity Poor Performance · · Score: 1

    Which is a much simpler solution. Customers blindly buying games without waiting for reviews are to blame.

  8. Will a dodgy headline hurt this story? on Will Lyft and Uber's Shared-Ride Service Hurt Public Transit? · · Score: 1

    Yes, it will.

  9. Pale Moon! on Mozilla Updates Firefox With Forget Button, DuckDuckGo Search, and Ads · · Score: 1

    Without Pale Moon i would be forced to use Chromium. And Firefox gets more user-unfriendly by the minute.

  10. 300M€ to watch what twitter/facebook users do on German Spy Agency Seeks Millions To Monitor Social Networks · · Score: 1

    That surely will catch some terrorists!

  11. Re:too late on Mozilla Launches Browser Built For Developers · · Score: 1

    If you think FFOS development is bad, I'd hate to see what you think about Android development!

    Android development is why i quit my job and moved on to something more sane.

  12. Bad GUI, No sync migration on Mozilla Launches Browser Built For Developers · · Score: 1

    The GUI is very bad. Black on black, nearly no contrast... I'm back to Pale Moon.

    Oh, and why is there no migration path between old sync and new sync? It's just a new authentication, everything under the hood is the same. If i run Pale Moon (old sync) and Firefox (new sync) i cannot have both of them, i'm forced to choose.

  13. Re:Raspi Ripoff on Raspberry Pi A+ Details Leaked · · Score: 1

    pretty much everything from olimex. faster, equally cheap, and what not.

  14. too late on Mozilla Launches Browser Built For Developers · · Score: 0

    i already gave up on ffos development (because of the bad tool quality) a year ago.

  15. Raspi Ripoff on Raspberry Pi A+ Details Leaked · · Score: -1, Troll

    Oh, still has that DSI connector one cannot use because of missing software. And has a CSI connector for those 2$ cameras that are sold for 25$. I thank the Raspi for kicking off the ARM revolution, but now (after four non overclocked pis that died without warning) i simply hate it. I have moved on to boards that have better power filtering, overcurrent protection, tens of gpios more, sdcard interfaces that dont trash your card and work with any card model and all that at the same cost or cheaper.

  16. improve public trust? on Ford Develops a Way To Monitor Police Driving · · Score: 1

    BUILD public trust. You can't improve on zero.

  17. There is NO unlimited on OneDrive Delivers Unlimited Cloud Storage To Office 365 Subscribers · · Score: 1

    So i wonder what the real limit is?

  18. Calculator and Flashlight need Wifi on Firefox OS Coming To Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    That is the result of building an OS where everything is HTML: Many developers don't bother to build installable apps, rely on installable hosted webpages.

  19. Re:Low power CPU meet bloated pOS on Firefox OS Coming To Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    Crippled like... no way to enable the DSI connector? Or only Raspberry Pi cameras able to use the CSI port? Yeah, same thought here.

  20. Raspi = Evil on Raspberry Pi Founder Demos Touchscreen Display For DIY Kits · · Score: 1

    Only raspberry pi cameras work with the Pi, despite there being hundreds of CSI capable cameras. And now a touchscreen that will be the only screen that works with the Pi, despite hundreds of DSI capable screens out there. The Raspberry Pi is just another walled garden.

  21. Sad, sad, sad on EU Court Rules Embedding YouTube Videos Is Not Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    Embedding? Copyright infringement? EU Court? We need a new copyright law.

  22. Will fail, but will kick off something greater on Anonabox Accused of Lying About Its Product Being Open-Source On Kickstarter · · Score: 1

    Looks like he is the first to realize that
    * openwrt capable mini-routers are very cheap, i use multiple WR703N for tinkering
    * there are many firmware generators out there that should it make simple to create an tor-capable image

    We will see an firmware-image that you can directly flash from the vendors webinterface and that turns your router into an tor-client.

  23. No Kickstarter needed on Tiny Wireless Device Offers Tor Anonymity · · Score: 1

    The device is (as reddit already proofed) an clone of a tp-link router. And someone has already done the work to put TOR on the device. That leaves us only with hot air on this Kickstarter.

  24. Öttinger = OMG on Will New European Commission Leaders Welcome Open Source and Open Standards? · · Score: 2

    He has no clue about the subject. I'm worried.

  25. building the future on David Cameron Says Brits Should Be Taught Imperial Measures · · Score: 1

    rockets exploded, satellites got lost in space because someone mixed up metric and imperial. So the UK wants to play no role in space technology in the future, good to know.
