    What DE are you running on FreeBSD that you can't on Linux?

    I'll take the blue pill now.

    I wish I had mod points to mod you up. Much more accurate then parent. Rust is alive and well. Check this out this app written in Rust: https://ethcore.io/parity.html and I can't wait for Servo, it's going to leapfrog all the other browsers in performance and reliability and security. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  6. First Java and now Oracle? on Oracle Named Database of the Year, MongoDB Comes In Second (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    First Java and now Oracle? Hmmm, I wonder how that happened.

    It's not a matter of laziness, it's a matter of funding.

  8. Re:It is Atom from github on Microsoft Releases Visual Studio Code Preview For Linux, OS X, and Windows · · Score: 1

    Adopting.... yeah right. More like embracing and extending. According to the handy dandy MS handbook, the next step is extinguish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E... I'm not sure what the real agenda is yet but TypeScript and .NET seem to be their weapons of choice. Hey, if they can develop some great products and compete without reaching for the monopoly hammer, I'm all for it. However, history has shown that MS uses their monopolistic position to eliminate competition and then sit on a the sub-par product for years.

  9. Re: Tabs vs Spaces on Stack Overflow 2015 Developer Survey Reveals Coder Stats · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This debate only happened because some programmers stopped thinking about the indentation abstraction. You shouldn't be thinking in terms of spaces vs tabs. Instead you should be thinking in levels of indentation for blocks. Indentation is not some technique to make your code look pretty, it's there to show a clear separation of logic, loops, blocks etc. Code is art, just not Ascii art. One keystroke per indentation is the simplest and most efficient.

    Here I am, chilling at Starbucks, listening to some jazzy music and all of sudden I see this abomination of code. Thanks for ruining my morning.

  12. Unity + (JavaScript | Boo | C#) on Tao3D: a New Open-Source Programming Language For Real-Time 3D Animations · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the Unity + (JavaScript | Boo | C#) combination would produce better results and in less time. The nice thing about using Unity is that you will eventually be able to run the apps in a browser without a plugin. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets...

  13. Re:Honestly, rifles are not the problem on The $1,200 DIY Gunsmithing Machine · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes, yes and yes! Once I realized that "anti-gun" meant no guns for the good guys and guns for the bad guys, I became pro-gun. The debate isn't about less guns for bad guys, they already have guns and always will. It's about letting the good guys can have guns.

  14. Re:Who cares about succinctness .... on Rosetta Code Study Weighs In On the Programming Language Debate · · Score: 1

    Succinct does not equate unreadable.

  15. Re:Repeat history on KDE's UI To Bend Toward Simplicity · · Score: 1

    Big corp. Takes them a while to copy features from competitors. I haven't run Windows in years but after seeing this demo, the UI at least would work well with my workflow. I wouldn't consider switching yet because there's much more to an OS that the UI but it is a significant factor.

    Actually, Windows 9 is starting to look like GNOME a couple years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  17. Coercion Free on Industry-Based ToDo Alliance Wants To Guide FOSS Development · · Score: 3, Informative

    The only way to direct a FOSS project is to contribute to it, whether it's time or money. It cannot be directed by force. It is an anarchy. There are no rulers to force anyone to do anything. If we could just get our governments to work the same way, we'd all be better off.

    Not so quick. CSS can be found outside the web now. GTK and QT for example.

  21. Re:I don't see the problem. on Russian Government Edits Wikipedia On Flight MH17 · · Score: 1

    Not that a Ukrainian error of identification would have been any more or less tragic, although it's less plausible since the separatists are not operating any air assets that I'm aware of so the Ukrainians are much more likely to be very conservative with regard to their anti-air grid.

    Yes, but...

    Malaysian Airlines MH17 plane was travelling almost the same route as Russia’s President Vladimir Putin’s jet shortly before the crash that killed 298, Interfax news agency reports citing sources.

    And the planes look almost identical. Have a look. http://rt.com/news/173672-mala...

    The mainstream media is distracting you from what's really going on is Russia.

    Anyhow, before condemning their new laws, have a look that what the FCC says.

    Obscene Broadcasts Are Prohibited at All Times

    Obscene material is not protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution and cannot be broadcast at any time. The Supreme Court has established that, to be obscene, material must meet a three-pronged test:

    • An average person, applying contemporary community standards, must find that the material, as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest;
    • The material must depict or describe, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable law; and
    • The material, taken as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.
