  1. Re:Autoremove old kernels from /boot on Ask Slashdot: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Desktop Default Application Survey · · Score: 1

    Are they asking about whether to include an installonly_limit=n parameter, that automatically removes kernels from the nth-oldest back, like YUM and DNF have had for years?

  2. Re:Two things on Windows Phone Dies Today (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    a. Microsoft is not hip. You need to be hip to sell phones because like movies the sales are driven by what teenagers buy.

    Nonsense. Now sit still while I squirt you a couple of cool songs....

  3. I don't know what the hell I just watched, but have learned today that Yahoo has their own video player.

  4. Who cares about the code? on AMD Has No Plans To Release PSP Code (twitch.tv) · · Score: 1

    I don't care about the code. I just want to know how to turn it off.

    Seriously, what's a decent bypass for this? Ignore the onboard LAN and use an oddball gigabit NIC for which the PSP couldn't possibly have a driver?

  5. Re:Google is in the fight? on Net Neutrality is Not a Pirates' Fight Anymore (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    I haven't looked yet, but is the costume designer female?

    Google Doodles disproportionally favour women in history.

  6. Re:Does anyone actually run this anymore? on Fedora 26 Linux Distro Released (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I use Debian for servers but prefer Fedora for workstations for many reasons.

    Not the least of which is dnf (formerly yum). It's so far ahead of apt-get it's just not funny.

    Interesting side note: When it comes to installers, it's a draw - both are terrible.

  7. Re:... is copy-pasted using View Source on We Need To Reboot the Culture of View Source (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Really, they can add comments back?

  8. Re:It still works exactly as before on We Need To Reboot the Culture of View Source (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    The most excellent Style Editor tab lets you play with the style and have it change whatever page you're looking at in realtime. A great way to learn CSS.

  9. Re:Propaganda in the summary on FSF Sees Hopeful Signs Before Sunday's 'Day Against DRM' (defectivebydesign.org) · · Score: 1

    *applause*

  10. Uh-huh. Holographic. on RED Launches a $1,200 Smartphone With a 'Hydrogen Holographic Display' (phonedog.com) · · Score: 1

    So are they using a phase or amplitude based system to record the interference pattern?

     

  11. In academia at least Skype is barely seen any more, with the far superior Zoom being the preferred option.

  12. I'm hesitant to click on anything that ends with .cx

    Fool me once...

  13. Re:Great, another propaganda piece on Tesla Factory Reportedly Described As a 'Predator Zone' By Female Employees (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually It think the more interesting part is Musk outright admitted his company violated human rights employment laws by hiring or promoting based on race, gender, age, etc.

    "We have had a few cases at Tesla where someone in a less represented group was actually given a job or promoted over more qualified highly represented candidates..."

    If that group happens to be in a very broad list of definitions, then that activity is illegal.

  14. Silence, you with your evil misogynistic patriarchal biology.

  15. Re:Need for speed? on Volvo Says It Will Only Make Electric and Hybrid Cars Starting in 2019 (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    I can buy a second hand Leaf *from a dealer* for less than USD $13,000

  16. Re:Need for speed? on Volvo Says It Will Only Make Electric and Hybrid Cars Starting in 2019 (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Relevance the Le Mans endurance race has to the real world: Zero.

  17. So you *wouldn't* call the fire department if your house was burning down with your loved ones inside? Got it.

    I suppose you pave your patch of road outside your house too, or pay someone to do it for you.

    Do you catch your own rainwater too?

    I also assume you have no problem with someone selling you a deadly concoction and slapping an "Aspirin" label on it because, well, you should know better right?

  18. Of course, and it will outperform any petrol car on the market while doing so.

    I don't know how far down the road you'll get, but you'll get there fast.

  19. Re:The roar of the internal combustion engine. on Volvo Says It Will Only Make Electric and Hybrid Cars Starting in 2019 (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    This. 327 times this.

  20. Re:The Motorbikes, really on Hanoi Plan To Ban Motorbikes By 2030 To Combat Pollution (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Someone should tell India this.

  21. Suspicious on Hanoi Plan To Ban Motorbikes By 2030 To Combat Pollution (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Has anyone followed the money on this one?

    Because it looks to me like a ploy to increase the prevalence of cars, which are of course much bigger polluters than the worst tuned motorcycles.

  22. Re:Fascinating on Kanye West Is Leaving Tidal Because the Company Owes Him Money (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    That's... actually pretty a good reason.

    I'll go sit down.

    Over there.

    Now, will someone please explain why this is on Slashdot.

  24. Re:Laptops are 7 year old Lenovos on 15 Devices (Including 6 Laptops) Awarded FSF's 'Respects Your Freedom' Certification (fsf.org) · · Score: 1

    Yes, I must have dreamed when I unpacked the Dell XPS laptop, ran the bundled Windows 10 for a while, watched it crash several times, constantly reject the included port replicator and generally run sluggishly.

    I must have also been dreaming when I nuked the system partition and installed Fedora, then observed all the above problems go away and the system run buttery smooth ever after.

    Anyway you can go back to your reality now, which I'm sure is a lot more comfortable for you than mine.

  25. Even the older ones will happily run an SSD too. Get a cheap mSATA SSD and a $2 mSATA to IDE adapter and you've cut your boot time tenfold.

    Hell, I've used one with an 8GB CF card but i don't recommend this for long-term use :)
