  1. Re:Switch to KDE on Ubuntu Unity: The Great Divider · · Score: 1

    This is one of the things I like about OSX. I use kubuntu as my day-to-day OS (work and home) and mapped 'super'+space to the run command utility. Brings up a spotlight-esque search/run dialog at the top of the screen that behaves in much the same way.

  2. Re:wtf? on 10% of IT Pros Can Access Previous Jobs' Accounts · · Score: 1

    1) Of course, an SSH key is less secure than a password if you don't encrypt it. Or exactly the same security as a password that is stored in Desktop/passwords.txt, anyway.

    2) Key exchange doesn't involve the raw transmission of the private key to the remote host. That's kind of the whole point.

  3. Re:vim on IT Turf Wars: the Most Common Feuds In Tech · · Score: 1

    Oh no, compatibility mode! Undo! Undo!

    Cancer is what causes human aging? Wow, you learn something new every day!

    [1] By law and convention, greengrocers are not allowed to use apostrophes correctly.

    I'm fairly sure you meant *greengrocer's and *apostrophe's there.

  6. Re:I wonder what the reaction will be... on Facebook To Make Facebook Credits Mandatory For Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    NB: I do not have a Facebook account at all, it's been deleted.

    Facebook doesn't delete your account, it 'deactivates' it. The only way not to have a facebook account "at all" is not to have had a facebook account in the first place.

  7. Re:Data loss is just not an issue with The Cloud! on Some Hotmail Accounts Wiped · · Score: 1

    (assuming it is actually a meme and not just a single comment people keep reposting)

    What is a meme if it is not just a single comment people keep re-posting?

  8. Gutted on Stargate Universe Cancelled · · Score: 1

    I thoroughly enjoyed SGU. It took a while to get off the ground during season 1, but it was really starting to get good during season 2. Never realised so many people felt so strongly against it.

  9. Re:Completely free kernel? on Debian 6.0 To Feature a Completely Free Kernel · · Score: 1

    http://packages.debian.org/lenny/all/firmware-bnx2/download - Download onto a USB stick and insert when prompted, or create your own installation medium with it included.
