  1. Yeah... But no on Microsoft Exec Urges Linux Developers To Try Windows 10 (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Thanks but no thanks.

  2. Emotional, but unconstitutional on Grieving Father is Begging Apple to Unlock His Dead Son's iPhone (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Very sorry for this father. But I believe Apple has the right to deny this. Honestly, the story writer is trying to use a grieving father's emotions to hijack Apple, and ignorant of privacy and security, which I find stupid and sickening.

  3. And what super power did he get? on Meet the Scientist Who Injected Himself With 3.5 Million-Year-Old Bacteria (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Sounds like it's gonna make a good Marvel comics.

  4. What's the proper business model for Free Software on Interviews: Ask Richard Stallman a Question · · Score: 1

    nd are they ever tested in the wild? How do small companies expect to grow writing free software without investment from big companies who seek proprietary softwares? How do companies expect to profit with all their code published in public?

  5. Re:People still use GCC? on GCC 5.2 Released · · Score: 2

    I don't think clang+llvm will just fail once Apple drops support. There are so many other companies supporting clang+llvm and use them to do important things. See: http://llvm.org/Users.html

  6. So how many people are still using XMPP? on Facebook Finally Ends XMPP Support For 3rd Party Chat · · Score: 2

    Is XMPP dying right now? Cause if it is, it is sad. Google Chat may be the only XMPP chat that's supported by a big company. Companies want their own privatized protocol and bind their user in their own services: Whatsapp, Telegram, Line, Hangouts, iMessage and etc., and I can't talk to my friends if they're on a different service. Are we entering a age when good old Internet spirits are no more respected? Or is it just how this world should be in the first place?

  7. Re:Not News... on It's Official: NSA Spying Is Hurting the US Tech Economy · · Score: 1

    1. Yes. And NSA has finally given them a good excuse now. 2. Same applies to the US government and Huawei threat case.

  8. Re: The lesson here on Lenovo To Wipe Superfish Off PCs · · Score: 1

    Really? Only $10?

  9. Re: Ideally on Worldwide Aaron Swartz Day Memorial Hackathons This Weekend · · Score: 1

    A little tough talk? From Wikipedia, and I quote: "federal prosecutors filed a superseding indictment adding nine more felony counts, which increased Swartz's maximum criminal exposure to 50 years of imprisonment and $1 million in fines." Anyone could be crushed by this sort of injust lawsuit.

  10. Re: Foxconn beings?! on Foxconn Replacing Workers With Robots · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Should be "begins". Just a typo which happens to everybody.

  11. Re: Foxconn beings?! on Foxconn Replacing Workers With Robots · · Score: 1

    "Beings" should be "begins". Just a typo.

  12. Who would be the next for Ubuntu? on Jono Bacon Leaves Canonical For XPRIZE · · Score: 1

    I am a Ubuntu fan. Jono has been ethusiastic on G+ and I've been enjoying to see his posts. I wish the next community manager would be just like him. Best wishes for the future to both Ubuntu and Jono.

  13. Re: Translation: on Microsoft Promises Not To Snoop Through Email · · Score: 5, Informative

    Now the scroogle campaign made MS look so stupid.

  14. On open source on Interview: Ask Richard Stallman What You Will · · Score: 1

    Do you think all software should stick to the idea of free software? Do you think free software would gain more success if they are applied to certain bussiness models and let the free market decide? Like android, which is quite successful as open source?
