  1. The build procedure is tailored to Ubuntu14.04 LTS 64-bit.

    I'll be looking forward to a virtual machine image or a LiveDVD version.

  2. Maybe now . . on US Says Russia Hacked Energy Grid, Punishes 19 for Meddling (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe now Russia will release the video of Trump with that teenage hooker we've heard about . . .

  4. Stars that old . . . on Stars Billions Of Years Old Drop Big Clue To Early Universe (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Stars that old would have had plastic surgery by now . . .

  5. I may even wait for 7G. That will be the shizzle . . .

  6. Secret from who, exactly? on AI Experts Say Some Advances Should Be Kept Secret (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    You can keep a secret from a large part of the general public, but not anybody else who is motivated to obtain that "secret".

    What is this? An article for ANTS?!

    So, you didn't bother explaining what "LCS" meant in the article a few days ago, but you thought you had to tell us what DEBIAN was? FFS slashdot, WHO THE FUCK IS YOUR AUDIENCE?

    Debian/Ubuntu, et al fanbois, it seems are the audience they are looking for.

  9. But can it play DOOM?

  10. Indus Valley Language and Easter Island glyphs? on AI May Have Finally Decoded the Mysterious 'Voynich Manuscript' (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    It will be exciting to see this process applied to the untranslated Indus Valley Language and Easter Island glyphs.

  11. Why you should use them.

  12. Re:Emulator, Shmemulator on Wine 3.0 Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    A retcon is exactly what it was.
    When Wine began life it was explicitly an abbreviation of windows emulator.
    http://www.faqs.org/faqs/windo...
    Then the naming fairy did a 180 turn and WineHQ started pretending "windows emulator" never happened.

    Is this like when KDE originally stood for "Kool Desktop Environment", but now they claim it is just "KDE" and it doesn't stand for anything because "Kool Desktop Environment" sounded to dickish?

    Cane we re-write history in that manner?

    It appears so. and really, who cares?

  13. Re:Why wine? on Wine 3.0 Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    And have your system get infected with viruses, lol.

    Linux is immune to viruses.

    Many Windows viruses can be loaded and run using WINE. YAY!

  14. I Don't Always Have My Phone Handy on Less Than 1 in 10 Gmail Users Enable Two-Factor Authentication (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    The concept is great, but if I accidentally left my phone at home, I'm locked out of my email.

  15. Will Cortana work on my Zune?

  16. If they COULD do this, they would be. And they'd be keeping very quiet about it. Because the second it was public, every new phone, chip and computer would be redesigned to stop it in the future.

    Unless the government made thwarting these exploits or any kind of new crypto technology illegal. Don't think it can't happen in the US.

  17. FBI Chief Calls Unbreakable Encryption . . . on FBI Chief Calls Unbreakable Encryption 'Urgent Public Safety Issue' (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    FBI Chief Calls Unbreakable Encryption . . . "a valuable tool to protect the rights of law-abiding citizens" is how it should read.

    Thanks for the comment.

    I used the Mandrake-Mandriva-Mageia distros since Mandrake 5.3, even though I was co-author to Bill Ball of several of the RedHat/Fedora Unleashed books.

  19. How is this news? on Linux Mint 19 Named 'Tara' (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I can't even get a Slashdot mention of a Mageia Linux release (downvoted as SPAM), but this info pops up like a Jerry Springer promo?

  20. My Old Hardware on Nvidia To Cease Producing New Drivers For 32-Bit Systems (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    May old hardware still serves a purpose, but I guess it's time to send it to be recycled.

  21. They'll just switch to very large bug zappers . . .
