  1. In case of emergency... on Norwegian Company Plans To Power Their Cruise Ships With Dead Fish (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    In case of need I suppose it will be III class passenger's turn to be sacrificed for a higher good, the salvation of higher class passengers.

    It doesn't state: "*IF* we're not gonna get the funds we'll close down", it states: "We *DIDN'T get the funds hence we're closing down."

  4. Re:How to guarantee originality? on Free Music Archive Is Shutting Down (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Unlike a free license, a commercial license may provide a warranty of provenance, giving you someone to sue if you get sued.

    Just like free licenses do. Only the © holder can determine the song's license, that it was free or otherwise. If the song, free or commercial, was found to be not original, the author and posing © holder who chose the license can be sued.

  5. Re:Which Linux-based distro do you use? on Linux Turns 27 (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    I run OS X and I'm bisexual.

  6. Re:A tiny fraction of the consumer market? on Linux Turns 27 (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Therefore itâ(TM)s incredibly popular and successful in the consumer market.

    This actually means it's incredibly popular and successful in the Google mass-surveillance utterly unsafe binary-blob-infested ecosystem. Not what Linux and free OSes are all about.

  7. Damn systemd! on Linux Turns 27 (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Which Linux-based distro do you use? What changes, if any, would you like to see in it in the next three years?

    i run Slackware, and I fervently wish I could soon see the systemd crapola die an ignominious death!

  8. Watson just needs a big data cache of real-life human deaths to learn how to cure cancer.

  9. Re:After 20 years ... on Microsoft Removes 'Sets' Tabbed Windows Feature From Next Release (groovypost.com) · · Score: 1
    This is a half-truth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Until Windows 10, Microsoft Windows did not implement virtual desktops natively in a user-accessible way. There are objects in the architecture of Windows known as "desktop objects" that are used to implement separate screens for logon and the secure desktop sequence (Ctrl+Alt+Delete). There is no native and easy way for users to create their own desktops or populate them with programs.[4] However, there are many third-party (e. g. VirtuaWin, Dexpot and others) and some partially supported Microsoft products that implement virtual desktops to varying degrees of completeness.

  10. Re: After 20 years ... on Microsoft Removes 'Sets' Tabbed Windows Feature From Next Release (groovypost.com) · · Score: 1

    30+ is Unix, Linux is somewhat less, still more than 20 years I concede.
    I never used Amiga. and that OS is no longer among us, unfortunately.

  11. After 20 years ... on Microsoft Removes 'Sets' Tabbed Windows Feature From Next Release (groovypost.com) · · Score: 2

    20 years after Linux did, M$ still can't understand the concept of virtual desktops.

  14. Nothing new under the sun on Poor Grades Tied To Class Times That Don't Match Our Biological Clocks (berkeley.edu) · · Score: 1

    It's been known for quite some time, it's good finally we have a scientific research providing evidence for one of the factors that make present day schooling (developed in the XIX century) a waste of creativity and personal development: https://www.ted.com/talks/ken_...

  15. Re:Wrong title on Nearly Half of 2017's Cryptocurrencies Have Already Failed (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    A cryptocoin is an instrument for a transfer of propriety, of a good. Those that are there already survived the fall in their trading value that begun in late December. That means they do have a value that goes beyond the obviously present speculation. The fact that 46% of ICO failed just means that there are more than enough cryptocoins already available (well over a thousand), and that there is little room for more. That's a very different thing from stating that "almost half of cryptocurrencies failed", which is just an exercise of fake news.

  16. Wrong title on Nearly Half of 2017's Cryptocurrencies Have Already Failed (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not 46% of the cryptocurrencies that failed, it's the 46% of ICOs, ie the funding to launch new cryptocurrencies, that failed.

  17. Re:Linux is dying due to legal uncertainty on Software Freedom Law Center Launches Trademark War Against Software Freedom Conservancy (sfconservancy.org) · · Score: 1

    Free as in freedom, not as in "free beer".

  18. Yeah, professionals like Google, Amazon, Ebay, PayPal, Facebook, the world's top 500 supercomputers and so on all running... Uh oh!

  19. The Software Freedom Conservancy is not about technology, but freedom and law. They do not develop software, they counsel on the legal breaches of Free Software licenses.

  20. Actually it's just that the the Linux Foundation that has abandoned the Free/Open Software Community pack to cater to the interests of the Corporate Big Player's club.

  21. The Community Representative is just one seat out of 12, nothing the big players could be concerned of. And neither Karen Sanders nor the Free Software Conservancy could even remotely match the vote stuffing the Linux Foundation's corporate members (and big-money providers) can, so your point is moot.

  22. All Linux Foundation conferences I attended there was no conference laptop, every talk was presented from the talker's own. But maybe keynotes are delivered from the conference's.

  23. The site was just reinstated.
