  1. Re:So.... on Fedora To Get a New Partition Manager · · Score: 1

    Fedora is going to replace GParted none of the existing GUI partitioning tools supports all modern storage technologies. Theyre replacing it with blivet-gui which doesnt support features like RAID and BTRFS.

    That hat too tight?

    The hat is cool!

  2. oh boy! on Fedora To Get a New Partition Manager · · Score: 1

    A new goodie tool.

  3. Wooly What?! on Efforts To Turn Elephants Into Woolly Mammoths Are Already Underway · · Score: 1

    Or Woolly Shit!! This should be interesting. Hybrid walking giants!

  4. Food on Ask Slashdot: Hungry Students, How Common? · · Score: 1

    I went to a small state college for two years that only had a dining hall. The food was horrible. I only had one other option which was delivery from a pizza/fast food joint. I could have gone out but the weather was either freezing cold or snow/ice was everywhere. Lukily I transfered to a bigger school out west where weather wasn't an issue and good food was accessible on/off campus.

  5. Will... on Microsoft Plans $1 Billion Server Farm In Iowa · · Score: 1

    the servers run Linux? If not I'm not interested.

  6. Seagate on Who Makes the Best Hard Disk Drives? · · Score: 1

    Seagate consumer drives are solid. I have two seagates going 4+ years. Toshiba and Samsung drives are good too.

  7. Re:Accessibility on KDE 4.10 Beta1 Released · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Actually I've been a Linux/KDE user since 2001. Yes Linux onscreen keyboards do stink. I have tried them. There is no reason why KDE desktop can't have a viable onscreen keyboard. I am pushing for one because I am disabled and cannot physically type, only operate a touchpad. Don't be so quick to judge : )

  8. Accessibility on KDE 4.10 Beta1 Released · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Still no focus adding an onscreen keyboard with word completion. This needs to be added. KDE is now in the mainstream. Windows 7 onscreen keyboard is great...Linux alternatives, suck. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265452

  9. Wait... on Microsoft Counted As Key Linux Contributor · · Score: 1

    Is today April 1st?

  10. ah-ha! on Too Many Connections Weaken Networks · · Score: 2

    The Goldie Locks network:
    "As a first theoretical step, it's very nice work," said Cris Moore, a professor in the computer science department at the University of New Mexico. Moore was not involved in the project. "They found a sweet spot in the middle," between too much connectivity and not enough, he said. "If you have some interconnection between clusters but not too much, then [the clusters] can help each other bear a load, without causing avalanches [of work] sloshing back and forth."

  11. Super... on Speculating On What a Microsoft Superphone Might Mean · · Score: 1

    Super duper phone!! So will it fly too? It will probably have the Ballmer mode enabled (automatically throwing chairs at Android users).

  12. I wonder... on Voyager 1 Exits Our Solar System · · Score: 1

    Are Voyager 1 & 2 the only space crafts to venture this far out? Did the Russian's launch anything similar?

  13. Patched when? on Adobe Warns of Critical Zero Day Vulnerability · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Jan. 10, 2012? Why not immediately? Do Adobe coders suck that bad... Honestly I think when a major vulnerability is found, companies should fix it immediately or face penalties.

  14. Re:Irony? on Higgs Range Narrowed; Hunt Enters Final Stage · · Score: 1

    Could not have recalculated it better!

  15. Irony? on Higgs Range Narrowed; Hunt Enters Final Stage · · Score: 1, Funny

    Higgs boson + Christmas = God Particle?

  16. It seems... on Two Porn Companies Take ICANN and .xxx Registrar To Court · · Score: 2

    that the whole .xxx issue is causing more problems than solutions. If porn gets its own TLD then why don't gun companies have their own TLD extension? Because violence is okay and porn is dirty? Double standard...

  17. So... on China's Cyber-Warfare Capabilities Overstated · · Score: 1

    Who or what entity has been hacking into major US companies if it's not China? North Korea, nope. Russia? Not their style.

  18. Very little info on Hackers Briefly Controlled US Government Satellites · · Score: 1

    The article is weak on facts...Need better evidence. And yes China, state-sponsored or not is hacking away at our infrastructure...

  19. Once again... on Boeing 787 Dreamliner Makes First Passenger Flight · · Score: 1

    Why is it that foreign countries get the good stuff, the 787 Dreamliner made in good ol' USA, while here in we get to fly in mini-penis sized planes? Pathetic.
