  1. Re:GIT? on FreeBSD Begins Switch to Subversion · · Score: 1, Informative

    Yes, try the same search with quotes. Not that it would matter anyways, as it's not a viable method for comparing the usage of both. Let me reinterpret these results:

    "Git is easier to learn than Mercurial as evidenced by the sheer ammounts of Mercurial tutorials that seem to be needed"

    (Disclaimer: This is not my personal opinion. Just to demonstrate the uselessness of this data. But flame away anyways if you have bad eyesight, I'll actually be doing something worthwhile in the meantime.)

  5. Re:Opera allows those ugly Flash ads. on Google's Shadow Over Firefox · · Score: 0

    I always have flash disabled in Opera. Normally I strongly dislike visiting flash sites, and mostly close them when I notice it's flash only. But when I really *have* to sell my soul to the "ooh, shiny"-devil, Opera gives me the ability to enable flash selectively for a site (not only flash but many other things on a per-site basis).

    Also, the built-in content blocker gives you the ability to block flash ads.

    You should give Opera a *serious* try...

    Funny thing is that since I use Opera, I try sites in Firefox when they don't work in Opera, and I can't remember having to use Internet Explorer for a site since a long time.

  7. Re:partition != drive on Terabyte Hard Drive Put To the Test · · Score: 0

    Think first, then post. This is total bullshit. If you copy files on one partition then it still has to physically move all those bits (unless you have some filesystem with copy on write capabilities that is). If you move a file on the same partition it only has to modify the file entry.

    Quote from here:

    The only conclusions that can be drawn from these findings are that file sharing programs only serve one purpose: to serve the masses with free, copyrighted material via their networks and users. The only solution to making this free, copyrighted material unavailable to these masses is to eliminate peer-to-peer file sharing programs altogether. ... so much for the "not eliminating P2P altogether" part. If you give them one finger, they are going to want the whole hand.

  21. Interesting stuff on NeoNapster's NeoAudio Rips Off CDex · · Score: 1

    Without me, this story wouldnt exist (hehe, I just registered to post this). I emailed Albert when the development in CDEx was at an all-time low. I asked him to either hand the project over to me, or to release it under the GPL. As he replied, he told me he will create a SourceForge project for it. I think this was the turning point for CDEx, because after that it became one of the best CD Rippers available, which shows the strength of opensource development. From there, this is the first big news I heard of them. Anyways, CDEx still rocks. Im using it over 3 years now, and it never failed for me. thx for reading, everybody.
