  1. Re:I see... on 'Clock Kid' Ahmed Mohamed and His Family To Leave US, Move To Qatar · · Score: 2

    I've pretty much had it with Slashdot. Between the quality of stories going into the toilet and the comments burrowing into the septic tank, this place is done.

    I've been here since 1998 and I'm done.

  2. Re:There's nothing Windows 10 about this on In Windows 10, Ad-Free Solitaire Will Cost You $10 -- Every Year · · Score: 1

    Stop trying to inject facts into this, you. This is the mob working itself up into a froth of hate.

    Fortunately Classic Shell still works on Win10 and it's even targeted for support by same.

    Pah. More like they got on the radar by losing a couple rockets. Putin's not above trumping up charges against people who piss him off.

  5. Re:Why ext4 on Linux 4.0 Has a File-System Corruption Problem, RAID Users Warned · · Score: 1

    It's newer than ext2, which ext4 is based on.

  6. Re:Cygwin appreciation society! on Trojanized, Info-Stealing PuTTY Version Lurking Online · · Score: 3, Informative

    MobaXterm is pretty nice as a SSH/Telnet/X11/mosh/tunnel client. It doesn't do anything you can't do with Cygwin in that regard but it's less work to get set up.

  7. It never worked for me on Anonymous Tor Cloud Project Closes Down · · Score: 1

    I ran a Tor Cloud instance on EC2 a while back. 100% stock, followed the documentation to set it up, but it never got any traffic. My home Tor bridge got plenty of traffic, however, so I don't think it's something I did wrong.

  8. Re:Anecdote on FAA: Big Tech Challenges For Massive Washington, DC Warbirds Flyover · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I read of an early Wellington getting jumped by German fighters and one of its engines set afire. A crewman climbed out onto the wing (wind, Germans, and fire all) with an "engine cover" (IIRC), sticking his hands and feet through the cloth skin and onto the geodesic frame*, and used it to smother the flames. His plane got home that day.

    Wellingtons are one of my favorite planes too.

    *said frame being why it was possible for shot-up examples to return so often. It was very similar to a rigid airship's frame.

  9. It's a lot cheaper to get a tour of Fifi's cockpit. Tennish years ago it cost me around $20 and I got to sit in the pilot's seat while one of the crew lectured about various bits of the plane and history. We weren't allowed through the tunnel to the gunnery compartment, which I'd really like to see sometime.

    Even without proper digitizers you can fake it by getting a particular kind of stylus. Your Google search terms are "capacitive stylus".

    There's a Graffiti input method for Android. Haven't used it so I'm not sure which version of Graffiti it is or how close to the original Palm implementation.

    Right? If we listened to some of these posters we'd never advance from whenever a given poster was a small boy.

  19. Re:Redstone on Windows 10 Successor Codenamed 'Redstone,' Targeting 2016 Launch · · Score: 1

    Given they're naming Windows 10 features after things in Halo, it's a fair bet this is Minecraft-related.

    Annual new releases though will drive them harder to Windows 7 more than any other time in computer history

    :rolleyes: 7's already out of mainstream support and will EOL in 2020. That's a short-term solution at best.
