  1. Re:Do they turn up in the downloads? on Facebook Tracks the Status Updates and Messages You Don't Write Too · · Score: 1

    I don't care, if this doesn't appear when I download my data from twitter, when it's agains EU law!

  2. I FOUND A FIX! on Exponential Algorithm In Windows Update Slowing XP Machines · · Score: -1, Troll
  3. Re:Never used iTunes on Ask Slashdot: Best FLOSS iTunes Replacement In 2013? · · Score: 1

    I'd never though of adding such an option to the right-click menu on directories. Quite creative and extremely strightforward with Thunar! :)
    Thanks for the hint! ^_^

  4. You DO have space in the walls on Ask Slashdot: Recommendations For Beautiful Network Cable Trays? · · Score: 1

    In Argentina, all our buildings are concrete and brick. We use tubes through the walls were all our electric, telephone and ethernet installation goes through. Get some power tools, cement, and paint, and do it the old-fashioned way.

  5. Re:StartSSL on HTTP 2.0 May Be SSL-Only · · Score: 1

    I assume there's some repository-like mechanism analog to apt-get/pacman/yum for server edition, right? Or do you actually need a graphica environment to maintain a SERVER?

  6. Re:The end of an era. on John Carmack Leaves id Software · · Score: 1

    But some other sector might gain a lot with his addition, who knows!

  7. Re:StartSSL on HTTP 2.0 May Be SSL-Only · · Score: 1

    Doesn't windows have windows update? Doesn't the server edition have remote installation mechanism analog to ssh+apt-get or something? Do you NEED a browser to maintain it?

  8. Re:StartSSL on HTTP 2.0 May Be SSL-Only · · Score: 1

    So the browser on server is keeping you from upgrading your SSL stack? Why on earth would you use a browser on a server? If you REALLY must, why not just pick another browser; if you're (for some reason) using a browser on a server, you might as well download another, it's not like you're computer-illiterate.

  9. Re:Here's to hoping... on Winamp Shutting Down On December 20 · · Score: 1

    Because reading code can be just as fun and useful as writing it for some people.

  10. Re:FB2K FTW on Winamp Shutting Down On December 20 · · Score: 2

    VLC's terrible for music. Ever noticed the pitch bending?

    Nope.

    Bad playlist controls?

    Not everybody uses this, you know. Anyway, What's wrong with the controls?

    Long initialization times?

    Are you MAD?
    I get 25ms initialization time (13ms userspace). What sort of hardware are you using?

    Lack of seamless transition?

    Care to elaborate? I've had no isues on this terrain either.

    The only thing that VLC lacks is media library. And that's why I use mocp when I intend to open more than 2 or 3 files. But that's just about it.

  11. Re:Only if I can use self signed certs on HTTP 2.0 May Be SSL-Only · · Score: 1

    Or just get a free cert from startssl.com.
    People using tor can use self-signed certificates, since tor user won't be strongly alarmed by unusual security warnings.

  12. Re:Only if I can use self signed certs on HTTP 2.0 May Be SSL-Only · · Score: 1

    There's no real need for wildcard certificates; just use SNI.

  13. Re:StartSSL on HTTP 2.0 May Be SSL-Only · · Score: 1

    There's already plenty of SNI websites out these; your clients are already having issues visiting some sites out there, and the amout of sites will only grow and grow as XP is reaching it's EOL.

  14. Re:StartSSL on HTTP 2.0 May Be SSL-Only · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's just IE on XP. Support for those end in april, so, it's not really an issue if IE+XP interferes with adoption to HTTP/2.0. It shouldn't be around long enough.

  15. Re:Still extortion... on HTTP 2.0 May Be SSL-Only · · Score: 1

    You need to use DNSSEC for this to be safe, and requires a sort-of-CA (the one that signs your domain). Otherwise, you're vulnerable to MITM.

  16. Re:How is this a protest? on China's "Singles Day" Is the World's Biggest Online Shopping Blitz · · Score: 1

    I'm staying away from holidays with trojans or any other kind of malware, thank you very much.

  17. Re:Who can you trust now? on Chinese Bitcoin Exchange Vanishes, Taking £2.5m of Coins With It · · Score: 1

    Actually, the real problem is that people trust unknown third parties with all their bitcoins.
    If banks were unregulated, unsafe and even maybe anonymous, would you still trust them with all your money?

  18. Re:Back to Basics on Stephen Elop Would Pull a Nokia On Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Corporate clients buy Office N because Office N-1 is no longer supported and/or doesn't run in MS Windows-Latest. Simple as that.

  19. They can share a torrent link in their own website, no need to go to a "torrent website". Debian, Fedora and OpenBSD do this; they just share the torrent file/magnet URL on their own websites.

  20. Re:NEVER roll your own authentication. on Feedly Forces Its Users To Create Google+ Profiles · · Score: 1

    No one said they should roll their own. There are plenty of existing authentication frameworks they could have just deployed. The point is that they used a third party SERVICE, not just software/protocol.

    Closed source, doesn't run on linux... Sorry mate, wrong audience.

  22. Re:The network says no on Gate One Will Support X11: Fast Enough To Run VLC In Your Browser · · Score: 2

    Latency, not bandwidth. A round trip takes too long, and each click/keypress is (at least) one round trip.

  23. Re:Nexus 5: Can it run linux? on Android KitKat Released · · Score: 1

    You won't need twice the specs if the OS isn't hogging up all the resources.

  24. Re:Taiwan does it too on Why Internet Explorer Still Dominates South Korea. · · Score: 1

    The same applies for most banks in Argentina, with a few NOTABLE exceptions that require flash, or are deliberately unusable for handicaped users.

    Of course the mayor didn't know how to secure his servers. That's exactly the reason why he hired Childs! :P
