  1. Re:Splendid decision on Fedora 18 To Feature the GNOME2 Fork MATE · · Score: 1

    obsolete? 99% of apps are still using GTK2. firefox, chrome/ium, xfce, lxde, gimp (don't forget that gtk = Gimp ToolKit!) to name a few. Sure, the version number makes it obsolete, but NOBODY CARES.

  2. Re:NOT for touch screens on Fedora 18 To Feature the GNOME2 Fork MATE · · Score: 1

    And now, replace "GNOME 3" with "Windows 8" and "touch screen device" with "non-touch device".

  3. Color blind? Hope it doesn’t read TF2 setti on Predicting Color Blindness, ADD, or Learning Disorders From Game Data · · Score: 1

    I am not colorblind or such. But in TF2, I have colorblind mode on to show an icon above players who are coated in Jarate. This is much more readable than looking at them. So it should not mark me as color blind just because of that tihing.

  4. Post-PC era? on Preparing For Life After the PC · · Score: 1

    There will be one. When the Macs will take over the market. Not when the tablets will do so, as this isn’t going to happen.

  5. Re:Hah! Get a REAL cable! on Customers Gleefully Mock Best Buy's $1,095.99 HDMI · · Score: 1

    I suggest buying the towel from Denon themselves. Normally, it'd cost $100, but for every customer whose last name ends in a 'q', they offer you a deal: -1% off. Or, if your name and surname have got a total of exactly ^ characters, you get it for free.

  6. Re:Does this matter anyway? on Linux Mint 12 Released Today · · Score: 1

    I'd like to remind you that DW ranking IS NOT a ranking of distributions. It is rather a ranking of page hits on distrowatch.

  7. Re:What distribution left for developers? on Ubuntu 11.10 ('Oneiric Ocelot') Released · · Score: 1

    Arch Linux works like a charm. It has GNOME3, but Xfce is really friendly.

  8. Om nom nom nom... on Python Fiddle, an IDE That Runs In Your Browser · · Score: 1

    It looks like it (and an extension, which pretty much sits there and does nothing) took over 46 percent of my memory. That's a bloody gigabyte. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

  9. I guess I'll buy it. on Notch Shows Minecraft Adventure Update · · Score: 1

    I never played Minecraft, but I think I should. I'd better watch exchange rates.

  10. Good god. on Smartphones: the New Home of Crapware · · Score: 1

    There shall be an easy way to get rid of it by re-installing Android, just like on Windows.

    On the plus side, the only crapware I got is foursquare, facebook (and no twitter...), a shitty game (I saved $3, yay!), an office suite demo, a worse Browser icon and some widgets (even if they are useful sometimes).

  11. A cake, please? on Linus Torvalds Ditches GNOME 3 For Xfce · · Score: 1

    I have a proposition for the Xfce community: let's send a cake to everyone who is responsible for forcing GNOME3 in their distros for helping us gain users.
    insert the cake phrase here

  12. Re:Change for the sake of change? on Linus Torvalds Ditches GNOME 3 For Xfce · · Score: 1

    Then why didn't he just stay with GNOME 2?

    Because his distro (Fedora, IIRC) forced GNOME3?

  13. Re:Or, use Ubuntu Minimal as base. on Linus Torvalds Ditches GNOME 3 For Xfce · · Score: 1

    PPAs? What if someone puts something nasty here? You'll be screwed...

  14. Re:Game developer == Hollywood studio on Ubisoft Considers Always-Connected DRM "A Success" · · Score: 1

    Nope. The manual was easy to do, you could even write down the words somewhere. The always-connected DRM is a bad idea. Consider going somewhere else, you have no Internet connection, you can't play your shitty games.

  15. Re:Game developer == Hollywood studio on Ubisoft Considers Always-Connected DRM "A Success" · · Score: 1

    Well, compare the WGA and most DRMs.
    Windows wants you to activate when you install it. A few minutes and you can get rid of your network connection (or you can call them). If you want some software, it's easy to use it, too. Legitimate customers are happy, pirates find ways to destroy it.
    What about the game DRMs? Requiring an Internet connection, fucking up LEGITIMATE customers. Pirates? They destroy it quickly and don't have any problems.

  16. Windows Server? on Why IT Won't Like Mac OS X Lion Server · · Score: 1

    InfoWorld's John Rizzo sees Mac OS X Lion Server as a downgrade that may prompt a move to Windows Server.

    Apparently, these idiots at IDG don't know what Linux is.

  17. Re:Another attempt to kill the secondary market on Ubisoft Hops On the Online Pass Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    By the way, is there a way to change the currency?

  18. `Good' Publishers List? on Ubisoft Hops On the Online Pass Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    Is there any list of good publishers (for all platforms), i.e. ones that don't have idiotic DRMs, online passes, etc? I'd be happy to get their games.

  19. PuTTY Tray FTW. on PuTTY 0.61 Released · · Score: 1

    I like PuTTY Tray more. Can someone tell me when it will be updated?

  20. Richard Stallman approves. on The Uzebox: an Open Source Hardware Games Console · · Score: 1

    This is awesome. I want it.

  21. Re:Impress and Keynote ? on Anti-PowerPoint Party Formed In Switzerland · · Score: 0

    PowerPoint is always mentioned as the representative of all presentation software.

  22. Today? on Anti-PowerPoint Party Formed In Switzerland · · Score: 0

    This `party' exists longer. In the 3rd program of Polish Radio there was a nice interview with the guy behind it. Title of this submission sounds like it was created today.

  23. Re:Codemasters' Rootkit? on Codemasters' Website Hacked · · Score: 0

    LulzSec is allowed to hack everyone.

  24. God Forbid. on Upscaling Retro 8-Bit Pixel Art To Vector Graphics · · Score: 1

    Can I get the *reverse* of that, i.e. downscaling big-ass vector graphics to 8-bit?

  25. What if it will not happen today? on Ask Slashdot: What To Do When the Rapture Comes? · · Score: 1

    If the rapture will not happen today, don't worry, we have another date for you already. It will hapen June 14th in the US and June 10th everywhere else*.
    * except countries with no Internets, PCs or games released 666 years after worldwide release.
