Something like that could work well. I'm also looking for an effective way to synchronize to a home server.
For calendars this is already solved, since one can already install one of many CalDAV-enabling apps to synchronize calendars to your home server (running davical or some other CalDAV server).
For files, I'm looking for something that can do effectively an rsync pull/push to an SSH server. I'll check out FolderSync and see if it does anything like that.
Further, I'd really like to see a working SSHFS client, so when at home I could play video/music from my local media collection without needing to download it all to my tablet first.
Probably. However I have seen some web sites make use of terrible AJAX code that uses JS code for links, making middle-click and therefore multi-tabbed use impossible.
Look, if they really didn't care you would have opened/. one day and found yourself staring at what is presently called Beta. No warnings, no "beta" period, just a sudden change.
They're *asking* you to try it and tell them what you think. I don't like Beta either, but it doesn't look like we'll be getting it in that form anyway...
This is a problem with VLC. I often hear from people who tell me their music is sounding distorted, with them blaming their speakers or the source content.
In nearly every case the culprit is rapidly found to be the rainbow volume slider in VLC set to above 100%, and the music undergoind severe clipping as a result.
Now over-driving beyond 100% is actually a useful feature for some particularly quiet source content, so props to VLC devs for having that option, but for goodness sake it should not be a seamless part of the Volume control!
Of course, if that happens, the Dice PHBs will just conclude that the site has had its day and close it altogether. Then their corporate overlords who put them up to this will have won.
Can someone please link to calculations performed on how many CPU/GPU/FPGA/ASIC hours have been wasted "mining" for bitcoins and, estimates on the resultant carbon emissions?
Remember, these clowns also own Sourceforge, and look at people abandoning that adware-spewing cesspool like rats leaving a sinking ship.
It's almost as if... someone else is in control of Dice. Someone who perhaps knows how much Slashdot and Sourceforge meant to certain intelligent people...
Right, I'm tagging this article betteridge, as this article is a classic case of it applying.
Hang on, where are the tags? What the hell has happened to Slashdot? Oh, I see we can edit them on the front page, but not in the article itself any more.
If I put up a Facebook page for my cat, is that considered a fake account? No fake identities have been used, though perhaps the T&S require all users to be human.
What about people who have two FB profiles - eg one filled with gaming apps and all the crap that comes along with it, and the other for socialising?
Yes I also thought that 154 dB, assuming they're using dBA, seemed a little low to be considered fatal. Wikipedia's table of sound pressure levels claim that rocket acoustic tests typically operate at around 165dB.
Slashdot Mirror
Well done for accepting that.
Now what are you going to do about it?

Not meaning to sound nasty here, but let me know how that turns out for you.
I remember sneering at Intel advertisements in the 90s where they claimed the Pentium 3 (Pentium !!!) would make the web go faster.
Little could anyone have predicted...

*sigh*

I suspect that, proportional to the distribution of the currency, that hasn't been true for more than a year now.
I wonder if Commander Taco regrets selling his baby to these butchers. I, for one, am not feeling a lot of love for him right now...
Same here. The ads on /. have been remarkably unobtrusive and, presumably, paying their bills.

And, oh yes, Slashdot Beta sucks.
Perfect! The GP's point is proven beyond doubt!

Ladies and gentleman, this is it.
This is the end of Hewlett Packard.

Combing many lasers into one?
This isn't sharks, this is a DEATH STAR.
That is a very sad story. A pox on those sales people for crushing your enthusiasm for electronics.
Interesting. Do you pay a flat-rate subscription to all the web sites you visit, or do you prefer to get a monthly statement by the megabyte?

You found breathing difficult from 3/4 mile away?
That is impressive. The sound pressure 1m from the rocket must have been incredible, and well in excess of 154dBA I would guess!
Yes I also thought that 154 dB, assuming they're using dBA, seemed a little low to be considered fatal. Wikipedia's table of sound pressure levels claim that rocket acoustic tests typically operate at around 165dB.
Finally, people are starting to wise up to the folly that is The Cloud.
The enterprise remains a keyâ"perhaps the key â" customer segment for Microsoft
Really. Microsoft abandoned the enterprise market when they released Windows 7.
And you're... okay with this?
