  1. Re:My Distros (Linux & BSD) on Ask Slashdot: What Distros Have You Used, In What Order? · · Score: 0

    I started in 1999 as well: 1999 - SuSE, 2000 - Red Hat, 2001-2008 SuSE/openSUSE, 2009 openSUSE/Ubuntu, 2010-2012 openSUSE

  2. In other unlrelated news... on iOS 6 Adoption Tops 25% After Just 48 Hours · · Score: 0

    In other unrelated news, several thousand drivers missed the turn for the Brooklyn bridge today and mysteriously drove straight into the East River...

  3. Voters and politicians on US Military Tested the Effects of a Nuclear Holocaust On Beer · · Score: 0

    Are you referring to the 9 voting members of the Chinese Politboro Standing Committee? Because otherwise, I think that saying "voters" believe in nutjob bullshit casts a pretty wide net.

  4. Easy distinction... on Can Anyone Become a Programmer? · · Score: 1, Funny

    If you are interested in things like girls and personal grooming, you probably don't have the right kind of mind for programming...

  5. Steam the new Unreal Tournament?? on The Linux-Proof Processor That Nobody Wants · · Score: 1

    Is this like the year that we got Unreal Tournament and Doom on Linux, and we were supposed to take 50% market share from Windows??? Yeah, that worked out well. Although, UT2003 was a lot of fun...

  6. Re:Wireless phones on Ask Slashdot: When Does Time Tracking at Work Go Too Far? · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the same thing - make lots of loud sounds of splashing and flushing while you are on the bluetooth answering customer calls, hahaha.

  7. Why does it matter? on Ask Slashdot: When Does Time Tracking at Work Go Too Far? · · Score: 0

    Some managers have always tracked bathroom breaks. Would you rather be an adult and keep track of your own time, or be like a small child and have someone else track it for you?

  8. Re:But why does FF run worse under desktop Linux? on Firefox OS: Disruptive By Aiming Low · · Score: 2

    It just means that they disregard Linux completely and make all their design choices for Windows, even if those choices cripple the Linux version.

    The funny thing is that Chrome, which was originally Windows-only, runs better on Linux than Firefox, which was multi-platform from its inception.

    You must be using a crappy version of Linux, or you haven't optimized FF properly. Try openSUSE - it's kept pace with the Windows version of FF very well for years. They've got their own Build Service and software optimization - they don't just slap together a bunch of pieces from various Debian repositories and call it a "distribution".
