  1. Re:Best of linux! on 'Best of' Lists Are the Worst (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    The first page of results lists "14 outstanding backup utilities for linux", "10 best linux backup solutions", "10 outstanding backup utilities", "34 best free linux backup" (wtf?), and "5 awesome open source backup software for linux".

    they are all one and the same blog.

  2. Re:Simple explanation for this on Why Amazon's UK Tax Bill Has Dropped 50% (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    I know you're joking. But it's baffling that 70 years after the US brainwashed its people against communism, there are still people around who believe this crap.

  3. Clackers, yo-yos, rubber wristbands, rubik's cube, hula hoops, marbles...

    So you're telling me that you were to poor to get a tamagotchi in 1997?!

    have made them look bad in the public eye.

    Their software quality is going down since 10 years. They make their money by advertising and selling information. How much worse can a company look in the public eye?

    I think it's an addiction. Addiction to what, I have no idea.

    I don't think it's an addiction. My guess is boredom. That would explain why my feed only has entries from people who are unemployed and housewives.

    that's because slashdot is a little older than the 8th of August if i recall correctly.

    You should hear the buzz of collaboration and feel the innovation in the air! Flag as Inappropriate

    I gotta remember that. Sounds much better than 'background noise'.

  9. That's right, publicly-traded companies are owned by investors who want, nay NEED, to ensure that their corporate ownership

    publicly traded companies are the worst form of cancer that capitalism brought us.

  10. Women, huh

  11. Here's a translation of Disney's answer: HAHA, we are a big company in America, we are protected by law to spy on you.

  12. Re:Oh, Lordy, FTP needs to just die already on Prison Time For Manager Who Hacked Ex-Employer's FTP Server, Email Account (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    We run a Windows 2000 FTP server. It's even connected to the internet and regularly used by customers. Yes, you read that right. Windows 2000. I'm amazed that this thing is still running and not halted to a grind by thousands of trojans and virii.

  13. that I live in a country where broadband web access is in the basic rights, just like flowing water and heating.

    'this is currently in use by charlie23'. You gotta make it clear to the users!

  15. It's hilarious that this is still considered 'news' on an American website.

    I do. They both are equally retarded. But trump has resources.

    This has nothing to do with social justice. This is just about decency.

    I understand that some people prefer to stay in the 90s but really, we're not talking about a huge revolution here, it's just a more modern look. That's the thing that a lot of UX people don't get: usability > look. Not the other way around.

    Also, Microsoft discontinues SUPPORT of products before they even discontinue them. Everything has to be Office 365. Got Office 2010? It'll work with CRM 2016. Except it won't, because you need the CRM Plugin for Outlook which DOESN'T support 2010.

    yeah, and behind the scenes the whole office thing is still the same clusterfuck as it was in office 97

    They should do what Microsoft did when it came out that some .wav files in c:\windows and c:\windows\system32 where made with a cracked version of cubase. They just said that it was made by a contractor.
