  1. FreeBSD security advisory on Every Patch For 'KRACK' Wi-Fi Vulnerability Available Right Now (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1
  2. There's very useful service https://tapiriik.com/ (free and open source https://github.com/cpfair/tapi... ) that lets you migrate workouts between different fitness apps. It supports runkeeper, strava (my favourite), endomondo, garmin and even dropbox.

  3. Trojita on Replacement For Mozilla Thunderbird? · · Score: 1

    http://trojita.flaska.net/ - IMAP-only, QT-based client, seems very promising. Early stage but stable. Unfortunately lacks GPG support (at least last time I checked).

  4. Re:NOW he realizes this? on FSF's Richard Stallman Calls LLVM a 'Terrible Setback' · · Score: 1

    He just saw recent release of FreeBSD 10 that makes clang default base compiler and gcc is no longer in basesystem :)

  5. Real PC, few advices on Computer For a Child? · · Score: 1

    My kids (now 3 and 6) use old thinkpad t22 - it's totally kids-proof. It was dropped from the table several times, hit with ball, you can see tooth marks on the lid etc. There's great tux-paint drawing app (there's no need to be able to read to use it), there are few great sites for youngsters, eg. www.uptoten.com Remember to limit the time spend at computer (like 30 minutes/day for 2-5 years old - it may sound long but we don't watch TV at all). You may need to prepare content-filtering proxy (Squid+addons serves well) and turn on "safe" mode in google (my son uses google since 5).

  6. miktex + LEd (LaTeX Editor) on Modern LaTeX Replacement? · · Score: 1

    MikTex is really good. LEd is pretty good free IDE, not really WYSIWYG but with instant preview.

  7. Retrieve whole book via the search on Amazon's Book Search Hits a Snag · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it's possible to get the contents of book with this cute search function (without registration). A smart perl script would do I guess. I tried and it *seems* to be possible (although pretty slow, 10 words per call at most)

  8. strange architectures on Alpha's Going Going Gone · · Score: 1

    I wonder why people like not-too-mainstream or much-too-old architectures and systems. Alpha, Amiga, 8-bit Atari and C64. They all have lots of devoted lovers.
    btw, I love my Alphastation 500 running FreeBSD :)
    regards

  9. site: limiter is broken too on What's Wacky with Google? · · Score: 1

    searching for "site:www.google.com google" returns http://www.adobe.com/motion/main.html as 3rd link. It's not in www.google.com and it doesn't contain the word "google" in it. My self-confidence dropped by 50%. What can I believe in if even the google is broken?

  10. hours vs tasks on Negotiating Pay for Open Source Work? · · Score: 1

    I prefer working on hourly rate. With task you need to have very accurate specifications. I met manager who said 'I need simple database of clients' what actually ment 'I need the database of clients, contacts, invoices, etc. with web frontend for users and administrators - and it must be ready next week'. They also tend to think that setting up specs is NOT the task to payed for...

  11. Picture here on Sharp Announces 3D Laptop · · Score: 1
  12. Comparision matrix on Sun 'Calls JBoss bluff' on J2EE compliance · · Score: 1

    Here nice, with prices starting at $25k/cpu for *certified* containers :)

  13. JBoss and others on Sun 'Calls JBoss bluff' on J2EE compliance · · Score: 5, Informative

    I used all 3 most popular containers (JBoss, WebLogic, Websphere) and seems that JBoss is the best choice. Websphere was always late with standards and Weblogis was always ahead (Websphere was EJB1.0 + some 1.1 compliant when Weblogic had almost all EJB2.0 features), but Weblogic had many errors in it's bleeding edge versions. JBoss was developed fast and with latest specs in mind but I didn't encountered any real problems.

  16. new msg on High-Performance Web Server How-To · · Score: 1

    I like the new header on thier site: Please register or login. There are *a few* registered and *quite a few* anonymous users currently online. Current bandwidth usage: 350.79 kbit/s

  17. Cerber module for FreeBSD on OpenBSD Gains Privilege Elevation · · Score: 1

    As I know, the idea was taken from Cerber kernel module developed for FreeBSD (started long time ago). Available at http://cerber.sourceforge.net/
