  1. Select sound card in Spotify for Windows. on Spotify Wants More Paid Subscribers, So It Has Launched a New App To Give Away More Music For Free (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    So, can we change the output audio device in Spotify for Windows, now? Understand that the masses don't care if the music playing is wrecked by alerts of different sorts, from e-mail arriving to end of page hit on their favourite word processor. But true music lovers care, that's why they have, for example, an extra usb DAC and an above average set of speakers, or want music coming out of a preamp for their high impedance headphones. Can't be that hard to have an option to change the sound card, can it?

  2. Just use Coolsoft Midimapper: https://coolsoft.altervista.or...

  3. One terabyte? on Putting Civilization in a Box For Space Means Choosing Our Legacy (space.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sorry, but which year does this come from: "At a time when traditional hard drives are just breaking into the terabyte range"? Because traditional hard drives have broken the terabyte range 10 years ago. And we're talking mainstream.

  4. Re:What about the Dell knockoffs? on Samsung Acknowledges and Fixes Bug On 840 EVO SSDs · · Score: 1

    Quite, but the 840 is not the same as the 840 PRO.

  5. Re:What about the Dell knockoffs? on Samsung Acknowledges and Fixes Bug On 840 EVO SSDs · · Score: 1

    Good question. But I believe the SM841 is equivalent to the 840 Pro, hence not affected by this problem.

  6. Gothenburg the capital?!? on Volvo Plans To Have Self-Driving Cars In Swedish City of Gothenburg By 2017 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Gothenburg is NOT the capital of Sweden, it is the second biggest city. Education is like butter, the less you have the more you spread.

  7. Re:Human not freak show on Researchers Study Mystery of the Toddler Who Won't Grow · · Score: 2

    They mention, and I quote, potential therapy to "Alzheimer’s, heart disease or cancer". I barely noticed any focus on anti-ageing cosmetic treatments, but then again, I RTFA. So, stop shoving your narrow view of the world and science into everything.

  8. Re:Prime suspects on F-16 Engines Stolen From Israeli Air Base · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Right on bro! Another doobie?

  9. Re:Python VS PHP on Python Creator Guido van Rossum Leaves Google For Dropbox · · Score: 4, Informative

    Quite right. And don't forget about LAN sync. Dropbox clearly is technically more advanced than Skydrive. The only handicap I see with Dropbox is the lack of some sort of permission system when you share folders. Or at least a read-only setting.

  10. Helium. on The Tech Behind Felix Baumgartner's Stratospheric Skydive · · Score: 1, Funny

    So, that's where all that Helium is going...

  11. Re:What... on Self-Wiping Hard Drives From Toshiba · · Score: 2

    As someone who recently say a big raid array failing spectacularly and taking data with it because of a firmware bug on the disks themselves, can say that nothing will go wrong. This has success written all over it.

  12. Re:Concocted? on Julian Assange's Online Dating Profile Leaked · · Score: 0

    Information wants to be free, right? Or it is just the one that fits your /s/tard whims that should be released? You useful idiots should stop lining up to suck the dick of these /s/tards . No wonder you always end up on the wrong side of History.

  13. Read the title and thought ... on Julian Assange To Write For Swedish Tabloid · · Score: 1

    ... well, it must be Aftonbladet.

  14. Re:ClamWin on Stand-Alone Antivirus Software? · · Score: 1

    It won't do the trick. ClamWin doesn't remove malware or viruses.

    The left demonizes Chavez? In some parallel universe no doubt.

  16. Re:Judged by who you friends are on Democracy Player Is Dead, Long Live Miro · · Score: 1

    Right on. But keep in mind that to the parent post a million deaths is most likely a mere statistic. ;-)

  17. PPTP pass-through? on pfSense 1.0 Firewall Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    pfSense is an amazing product that does without hiccups what firewalls costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars do. But it has a limitation: it can't handle more than one simultaneous PPTP pass-through session to the same server. Plenty of cheap routers (based in Linux) do this. But granted, that Linux PPTP masquerading kernel module is a little beauty.

  18. Re:Skype client for Symbian (et al.) in the works on Skype With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 2, Informative
    So is the Voipbuster client and plenty of others. Global IP Sound will be the winner of the Voip wars, whatever happens in the end.

  19. Re:Using this to make free calls. on Skype With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1
    I read a couple weeks ago in Metro Göteborg that a pair of natives wrote a program to do just that, using the cable that connects to the mobile phone. Of course, in the best Metro tradition of "journalism", there we no pointers, no names, not anything that a person could use to research further. Pity since i am interested in the exact same thing.

  20. Re:Communigate Pro on Exchange Alternatives Round-up · · Score: 1
    Yes, a pity about their MAPI connector for Outlook. The words slow and inefficient come to mind. Just follow their mailing list and see what i am talking about. I almost cried after installing it. It is really a pity, since the rest of the product is so perfect. It stands out as a big wine stain in a white cloth.

    You don't need an Hotmail account to use Messenger. Hotmail and Passport accounts are two very different beasts. Just register your Gmail account on the Passport.net site.

  24. Re:got root? on Arkeia Network Backup Agent Remote Access · · Score: 1
    For that you don't need Arkeia or any backup software of sorts. If you lose ability to do incremental or differential backups, or even RESTORE files on their location...

  25. Re:got root? on Arkeia Network Backup Agent Remote Access · · Score: 1, Insightful
    I hate to spoil your party, but how are you going to backup user files if you don't have access to them? It is obvious the backup client has to run as root.
