  1. Re:They have one huge disadvantage: Landscape mode on 12 Ways LibreOffice Writer Tops MS Word · · Score: 1

    That will change the orientation of ALL pages. If you only need one, you'll have to go to Format -->Paragraph -->Text Flow-->Breaks, check "Insert" and "With Page Style"and then select "Landscape", so yeah, it's not precisely intuitive.

  2. What about performance? on Ask Slashdot: Which Web Platform Would You Use? · · Score: 1

    I use PHP (and the great Symfony framework) for small or mid-size projects, but for enterprise class stuff I use Java. One of the main reasons (yet not the only one) is performance, but I acknowledge it's more of a personal prejudice. How is it going now? any reliable benchmark out there to support my preferences?

  3. Re:Not True on Ask Slashdot: Which Web Platform Would You Use? · · Score: 1

    I think he/she meant that it's actually "MS Visual Studio Express" :P

  4. Re:Chile, technology leader of the region. on Chile Forbids Carriers From Selling Network-Locked Phones · · Score: 1

    Leader in Southamerica? Well, at least not on this regard. Check this (in Spanish)

  5. Re:DUH.... on Italian Hacker Publishes 0day SCADA Hacks · · Score: 1

    Kick managers in the nuts

    He he. OK, I will *sighs*

  6. Re:Software business? on HP Spinning Off WebOS and Exiting Hardware Business · · Score: 1

    What about OpenView?

  7. What? on Sun CEO Explicitly Endorsed Java's Use In Android · · Score: 1

    Google has stolen not just patented ideas

    So now I can patent the bare ideas?

  8. Really? on Anti-PowerPoint Party Formed In Switzerland · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's PowerPoint is perhaps the best known and most hated of the slide presentation programs out there

    Seriously? How do you know that? I mean, you could not like presentations or even meetings, but as far as I know PP does what it has to do.

  9. Really? on How To Succeed In IT Without Really Trying · · Score: 1

    Someone has been reading Dilbert lately.

  10. Dilbert on Duplicate RSA Keys Enable Lockheed Martin Network Intrusion · · Score: 1

    A very convenient comic strip

  11. Re:HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH on New Book Reports Soviets Behind Roswell UFO Scare · · Score: 2

    I could buy that if it wasn't for the "altered by captured Nazi doctors to appear more frightening" part :P

  12. 2 Points on Microsoft Buying Skype for $8.5B · · Score: 1

    1. I'm reading a lot of people saying that the Skype client for other platforms is doomed. I think this depends on how MS plans to monetize Skype, if they go for ads, they will need audience, so neglecting Android would be a bad idea (The Linux client is crap anyway)
    2. Am I the only one here who thinks that Skype is grossly overpriced? EBay must be banging his head against the wall by now.

  13. Meh on Does Microsoft Need Bug Bounties? · · Score: 2

    It's more profitable to exploit a MS product vulnerability than filing a bug report and getting a few bucks.

  14. Re:So much for a fair trial. on Osama Bin Laden Reported Dead, Body In US Hands · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you're right. They should have taken him to Guantanamo to "give some intel" and then killed him.

  15. Re:and with native Android development support? on NetBeans 7.0 Is Now Available · · Score: 1

    Almost everything in Netbeans is a plugin. The problem is that it was born as a Java-only IDE (many years ago) while Eclipse has been always marketed as a meta IDE. Things have changed and thanks to the Netbeans Platform it can be easily extended. By the way, I'm a fanboy :)

  16. No way on Could You Pass Harvard's Entrance Exam From 1869? · · Score: 1

    The only dead language I barely can speak is French.

  17. Re:What do you expect, it's the Daily Mail on Old Media Says Google Will Destroy Film & Music · · Score: 1

    And what's The Sun, then?

  18. Re:Sun Headline today: "Is Britney really a man?" on The Nintendo 3DS, Headaches, and Bad Journalism · · Score: 1

    Apparently they had conducted further experiments related to this 32D thing.

  19. Natalie Portman on SlashTweaks Let YOU Micro-Edit Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Stories will incorporate the highest natalieportman rated socially and mathematically guaranteeing the best story possible

    That could work out well. C'mon people, it's hard to do April fool's jokes these days, at least the tried something.

  20. Re:tl;dr on Why Russian Space Images Look Different From NASA's · · Score: 1

    That or the NASA images have some small fixes. Maybe they were hiding a secret military base in the middle of the Pacific.

  21. Nighthacks is down on Java Creator James Gosling Hired At Google · · Score: 1

    I guess working at Google was the only thing missing in Gosling's CV. It's a great "acquisition", I wish the best for him, another slap in the face for Oracle.

  22. Re:The end of Nokia on Nokia - No More Symbian Phones After 2012 · · Score: 2

    I tested MeeGo in my N900 and I have to say that if that was what the got they were screwed badly. The news doesn't surprise anyone, actually I thought they had discontinued Symbian 4 years ago when I didn't received any more updates for my old N80 (bought only 1 year before).

  23. Re:Money on Expensify CEO On 'Why We Won't Hire .NET Developers' · · Score: 1

    -And you were thrown out of Microsoft headquarters for... trying to feed a squirrel through a fax machine?
    -I forgot about that! It was part of an argument with Steve Ballmer about Vista. Which I won, by the way

    OK, that made my day

  24. Wrong "invention" on Artificial Clouds To Cool Qatar World Cup Stadiums · · Score: 1

    They should invent something to discover who was bribed to vote for Qatar in first place.

  25. Re:Thanks for the warning... on New Adobe Flash 0-Day · · Score: 1

    I re-installed Windows

    You clearly didn't terminate the infestation
