  1. Ubuntu still has the user base on Kali Linux 2.0 Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Since I custom configure my computer, it doesn't make much difference which Linux distro under the hood, as long as it works. Having used Linux since RedHat 7, I've tried several dozen distros over the years. What I most like about ubuntu is that for almost every problem I've had, I've been able to google it and find somebody else who's not only had the same problem, but also solved it. I have not this kind of experience with any other distro. I doubt Kali has anything close. PS. I also have a really old computer I use for browsing on which I run LxPup. Woof!

  2. JavaScript 1.1 on What's the Oldest Technology You've Used In a Production Environment? · · Score: 1

    No old in calendar time, but quite old in Internet time. Requires Netscape 3 or IE4. Still works great now as a single page app written in 1999, with only a few changes since and none in 10 years.

  3. Re:Main links hijacked by ads on LibreOffice Ported To Run On Wayland · · Score: 1

    How cute, you let web pages run scripts by default. Which is a really idiotic thing to do.

    Yes, and I do it on Puppy Linux, which runs as root.

    So it's the webpages fault? or your browser? Think carefully as no one else seems to be having the issue.

    Let me put the question back to you. Think carefully as I've visited over a thousand web pages this week, many of them chock full of ads, with this browser and haven't had the problem on any other web page.

  5. Main links hijacked by ads on LibreOffice Ported To Run On Wayland · · Score: 2

    The post links twice to an offsite article that is hijacked by an overlay ad from which there is no escape, making the article unreadable. There is a hidden x on the ad overlay which only shows by scrolling, but clicking it only makes the x vanish, not the flash ad overlay. Reloading the article only reloads the problem. I'm running Pale Moon, a lightweight Firefox derivitive, on Linux.

  6. Re:Change the names on Ask Slashdot: How Should Devs Deal With Trademark Trolls? · · Score: 1

    I concur. Your enemy has a lot of stored ammo and probably has practice using it. You have minimal, if any, ammo or defenses, and no practice using either. You are not prepared for war, even if your enemies are bullies and you are in the right. You might be able to put something up somewhere showing the name of your old apps have been changed to the new names, so people looking for the old name can still find them. I can't imagine that a notice that you've changed your apps names to avoid potential trademark issues would be subject to a takedown. If you badmouth your adversaries in those notices, they might still attack, so be polite, no matter how you really feel about them.

  7. TypeScript on WebAssembly and the Future of JavaScript · · Score: 2

    Google and MS are teaming up on this and it will be in AngularJS 2. With that kind of weight behind it, I'd bank on it being the next JS replacement/supplement.

  8. What about people who vote libertarian. County commissioner might be their most recent high water mark. In presidential elections, the best they have ever done is about 1%.

  9. Autologin + run as root. Two great features.

  10. Java has nothing to do with JavaScript.

    I didn't say it did. There are, nonetheless, skills she has as a Java programmer that she can transfer to AngularJS. Therefore:

    ... it won't be like she'll be starting from scratch.

  11. It's a huge wave that will continue to grow. Knowing Java already, it won't be like she'll be starting from scratch. She might even be able to do some work from home and start part time.

  12. Advice worth how much? on Ask Slashdot: Choosing the Right Open Source License · · Score: 1

    Of course, that advice was worth every penny.

    And you expecting the advice here to be worth how much?
