  1. Biased study... on Chrome Users Are Best With Numbers, IE Users Worst · · Score: 1

    Playing on chrome is more convenient - you can play with keyboard ergo experienced players pick Chrome ergo Chrome users results are better... I played it some time ago as FF user but when I noticed Chrome version is better I switched to it.

  2. It is insane to do job one hates... on Ask Slashdot: Where Are the Open Source Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Were I forced to go 100% MS - I would quit my job immediately. I definitely prefer to make less money and like my job than make twice that and hate it... Even if it means demotion... I have just one live and I don't want to spend it doing things I hate.

  3. But US keeps its dominance in law! on US Losing R&D Dominance To Asia? · · Score: 1

    Technology is so XX century! What matters in XXI are patents and lawyers and US has an abundance of them... No one else has something like SOPA or PIPA! US is years ahead in laws race...

  4. Few suggestions on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Like To Read? · · Score: 1

    Intelectual fun: Jared Diamon Guns, Germs and Steel - why Eurasians conquered others and not the other way around Peter Heather The Fall of the Roman Empire - title says it all - but this one has great explanation of Roman-Barbarians relations - something like Rich West - poor immigrants now - parallels to current situation are obvious. Lederman, Teresi God particle - my favourite popular science book about modern particle physics - what is the search for Higgs boson about ? Just fun (assuming you've read Tolkien :) ): Andrzej Sapkowski - Last Wish, Blood of Elves Orson Scott Card - short stories, Ender's Game Philip Dick - short stories like We Can Remember It for You Wholesale Stanislaw Lem Cyberiad, Solaris

  5. Digital divide will actually grow... on IBM's Five Predictions For the Next Five Years · · Score: 2

    And the main cause is Apple, Amazon and like content stores... Either you are on the richer side and you can use iPhone and iPad with myriads of their applications...... or you are on the poorer side and you use strange Chinese Android clone on which few application works... Either you are on the richer side and you got Kindle and instantly download any book you need... or you are using strange clone where you need to hunt for content on torrents and have trouble with getting it to work on your device

  6. Where are all "climate change fighters" ? on Chinese Government Ramps Up Weather Control Efforts · · Score: 1

    It looks like it is not that China does not try to prevent stop the climate changes.... It actively tries to cause ones.... Where are all naive climate savers who help to move industry from USA/Europe to China ?

  7. Re:There will be no GNOME 4. on GNOME 3 Wins Linux Journal's Readers' Choice Award · · Score: 1

    Trolling... and you probably used GNOME 3 for something like 5 minutes.... My first impression was bad but then I switched to KDE, then to XFCE then to LXCE then Unity and I didn't like them as well. So I went back to GNOME 3 and started customization - GNOME Shell Extensions etc. etc. At the moment I am using GNOME 3 all the time and I am very happy with it - I think it is actually an improvement wrt GNOME 2. At the moment it is the best environment I ever used. I love it.

  8. Have they detected oil there? on US Air Force Pays SETI To Check Kepler-22b For Alien Life · · Score: 1

    Can we create with French 'Friends of Kepler-22b' and free them from their opressive dictators?

  9. Re:Have you actually tried to use GNOME 3? on Linux Mint 12 Released Today · · Score: 0

    > In all honesty, have you actually tried to use GNOME 3? Have you? I am using it for the last couple months and I am very happy. I've tried XFCE but G3 is much better. Agree you need modern graphics but: 1. you can customize the things you miss from G2 - I got apps menu, dock etc. 2. usage of Win key is just brilliant 3. dock extension is great - it replaces icons in the panel for me - coolest thing is customization - I hacked it so my dock is sensitive to my multi-monitor config and it always appears in best place for me 4. LookingGlass rocks - you can interactively hack your G3 5. I like the default Fedora 15 team a lot.

  10. I haven't done! Someone hacked into me! on Bionic Implants and Spectrum Clash · · Score: 1

    Wireless? Sounds really 'secure' .... 'I did not kill him! At some moment my limbs started to moving by themselves... someone must've hacked into me!'

  11. I would love to have "transputer" on Modu Unveils Modular, Transformer-style Phone · · Score: 1

    I would love to have something like "transputer" - it would be CPU with huge memory (10GB+) and I could plug it into phone doc. paltop/GPS dock or PC dock (with extra powerful CPU) with large monitor or notebook dock. Have Linux everywhere, have similar environment everywhere ... Truly "transported computer". Same data, used in different ways...

  12. Damn! I was just ready to upgrade from Mosaic! on AOL to Shut Down Netscape Support/Development · · Score: 1

    Damn! All these bubble products - they live so long! Products with full version number below 10 can not be considered a mature one... I was just ready to try NS 10 ... I will have to stay with good old Mosaic ...

  13. Vista of Death will destroy iRebels on What If Yoda Ran IBM? · · Score: 5, Funny

    But once our mighty Vista of Death is completed ... no one will be able to stand up against Emperor Gates ... We will find and finally destroy iRebels!

  14. Another option - discontinued line signal ... on Fighting Back Against Ghost Calls · · Score: 1

    I used different solution - I programmed my linux box to answer the call by sending "discontinued line" signal, then, after couple of seconds play automatic answering message ... I got a huge drop in telemarketing calls after some time ...

  15. MS Windows Brain Genuine Advantage... on Microsoft Wants To Read Your Brain · · Score: 1

  18. Religion is a system of beliefs on Australia Oppresses Jedi · · Score: 1

    So if someone declares Jedi is his religion then one is right.

  19. Red Hat is NOT Microsoft on Is Red Hat the Microsoft of Linux? · · Score: 1

    There is huge difference. Red Hat respects and uses GPL. The whole basic Red Hat Linux 7.3 is availaible with source code. You can legally download it for free, you can modify it. There is no way Red Hat can be a monopoly if everybody can take the source and make one's own: Red Flag Linux, Mandrake, Sun Linux and a lot of other which are or were based on Red Hat. Can you imagine Microsoft giving away the source code and allowing IBM release of IBM Mindows XP ? Also bugfixes are MUCH faster.

  20. I do not like it but I Ximianize my Red Hat anyway on KDE Gets The Hat · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I do not like the new look. I would rather
    GNOME-ized KDE than vice versa. But I do not
    care as I Ximianize my Red Hat anyway.

  21. Nomad II on Portable MP3 Player w/ Unix Support? · · Score: 1

    If you want to run with it you want one with flash memory - not with hard drive. y favourite here is Nomad II. I bought one on sale with 128MB card for slightly less than $100. t has radio, wired remote. Voice quality is good (made by Creative). Linux support is good/satisfactory. GUI needs development but CLI is solid. Web page is http://nomadii.sourceforge.net/

  22. This should apply to move watching and news readin on Video Games Found To Decrease Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    I think similar conclusions should apply to other
    'escape'-behaviour like intensive movie watching
    or news reading.

    Also it is quite likely that people who
    play more games are simply those undermore stress
    and less successfull anyway. So it may be not
    the games which cause the problem. The problem
    may be different and lead to both lower
    mental skills and more intensive game playing.

    I know my myself that when I am depressed
    and unsuccessfull I am playing games much more.
    But this does not mean that I am unsuccesfull
    because of games. It is the other way around.

  23. What about printer paper sizes? on Isn't it Time for Metric Time? · · Score: 1

    As I travel a bit back and forth I have documens
    in both letter and A4 formats and this is inconvenient as hell.

    Why cant US switch to AX standard as well?

    AI=2x A(I+1) is smart, but what is the format
    twice larger than letter/legal ? Twice smaller?

  24. Re:You think RH will include... on New Red Hat Beta: LIMBO · · Score: 1

    ORINOCO support was included already in 7.1 or 7.2. If you have Prism2 card - linux-wlan-ng rocks, even USB cards work fine.

  25. Let's buy it then!!! on Harry Potter, Macrovision and Economics · · Score: 1

    Then we need to buy this DVD. If sales are strong - then it will be a very good argument against MAcrovision and copyright protection! Let's shop!
    The DVD is on-sale at CompUSA for $10. If out-of-stock, grab the printed add and pricematch at
    BestBuy or any other soterwith pricematch policy.
