  1. Re:Not universal until it includes systemd on Systemd-Free Devuan 2.0 'ASCII' Officially Released (devuan.org) · · Score: 1

    What are you referring to? I am running Devuan ASCII from a default install and it has only libsystemd0 installed (a systemd stub).

  2. Re:"We inheritied" on Slashdot Outage Update · · Score: 1

    Which make me wonder if you did not inherited the ssl certificate for slashdot.com? I get a warning from my browser that slashdot.com is not on the current certificate.

  3. Re:FSF needs to take a stand against systemd. on FSF Adds PureOS To List of Endorsed GNU/Linux Distributions (fsf.org) · · Score: 1

    Devuan is making a lot of progress but lacks the resources of which Debian prior to the systemd debacle had available. Devuan Jessie works perfectly 24/7 on about half of my servers and security updates are available same day they arrive at Debian. About the other half of my servers are running FreeBSD. I do not like to bet on one horse after Debian went systemd.

  4. Not very impressive on Microsoft's Cloud Storage Service OneDrive Now Offers 15GB For Free · · Score: 1

    There are lots of cloudstorage providers: Hubic offers even 25 Gb for free. So Microsoft still is not very special with their 15 Gb offer.

  5. Re:if you want your day in court on Plaintiff In Tech Hiring Suit Asks Judge To Reject Settlement · · Score: 1

    If they get away with this type of stuff in the US, image what they get away with in countries with extremely corrupt governments.

    You really think there are countries which are more corrupt then the US government?

  6. Re:It's a she, not a he on Senator Accuses CIA of Snooping On Intelligence Committee Computers · · Score: 1

    She's crazy. She's a liar. She's a hypocrite.

    Sound like a real politician and a real good one.

  7. Re:Tim Cook doesn't understand the Law on Tim Cook: If You Don't Like Our Energy Policies, Don't Buy Apple Stock · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The best interest of the shareholders is not always ROI in terms of money. Par example think of continuity which is far more important then short term profits.

  8. Re:"whitelisting" on Is Whitelisting the Answer To the Rise In Data Breaches? · · Score: 1

    Installing everything in one huge server running virtual servers should make it easier by creating virtual network segments. And even with such segments it is questionable if the potential damage in one segment is not a reason to whitelist within each networksegment too.

  9. Re:Not exactly new on Network Solutions Opts Customer Into $1,850 Security Service · · Score: 1

    Aside from the obvious answer that a significant number of professional politicians are also Lawyers?

    A significant number of professional politicians (and lawyers) are also liars.

  10. Re:Free Vulnerabilities: on Encrypted Messaging Startup Wickr Offers $100K Bug Bounty · · Score: 1

    Any linuxdistro does have several mailservers to choose from which can be combined with Roundcube webmail.

  11. Why cheese brine? on Wisconsin Begins Using Cheese To De-Ice Roads · · Score: 1

    I suppose cheese brine uses consumergrade salt while a mixture of rock salt and brine has been known as de-icing method for quite a while now.

  12. Old news! on LinuxDevices Content Returns To the Web · · Score: 1

    This is really about old news. Who cares about the state of Linux embedded of 2012 or 1999? Show me current state for 2014 that would be interesting.

  13. Re:Slight change in title, if I may on Nobody Builds Reactors For Fun Anymore · · Score: 1

    That is a part of the problem according to this article on Slashdot: physicist Peter Higgs: No University Would Employ Me Today. Only projects that promises short term gains are well funded.

  14. Re:The network says no on Gate One Will Support X11: Fast Enough To Run VLC In Your Browser · · Score: 2

    VNC is terrible on both LAN and WAN but SPICE is a lot better and on par with RDP in my experience. And imo there are plenty opportunities to improve both but it is hard work and not many interested.

  15. Do we even want the 'AAA' games to stick around? on The Battle For the Game Industry's Soul · · Score: 1

    Apparently not! The masses are moving to casual gaming on tablets (p.e. Angry birds as best known casual game) and indeed consoles. But consoles have to do it for a longer period of time with the same hardware and are not reaily well suited for the next AAA game to be released in 3 or 4 years from now.

  16. Re:The terrorists are already here. on New Snowden Revelation: Terrorists Attempting To Infiltrate CIA · · Score: 1

    Welcome to reality. USA: the land of the great bastards also called U.S. government.

  17. I hear some echos from the recent past ... on US Forces Ready To Strike Syria If Ordered · · Score: 2

    Iraq having weapons of mass destruction, which were never there.

  18. Re:Interesting on DEA Program "More Troubling" Than NSA · · Score: 1

    Wrong point of view imo: what if 50,000 innocent civilians or small offenders are trialed and jailed based on incomplete or by DEA made up evidence? And generally speaking if there is no justice to a criminal there will be no justice for the innocent.

  19. You tried arandr already? on Ask Slashdot: Hardware Accelerated Multi-Monitor Support In Linux? · · Score: 4, Informative

    arandr is a standard package in Debian and can be used with Xfce too. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/arandr

  20. Re:good on US Promises Not To Kill Or Torture Snowden · · Score: 1

    You should realize that the USA nowadays is just acting like any other terrorist group and who is gonna believe a terrorist group?

  21. Any practical use? on Windows Software Coming To Android Via Wine · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Of course it is nice to see it is possible to run wine on Android but does it have usefull IRL applications?

  22. Re:I don't know on Death of Printed Books May Have Been Exaggerated · · Score: 1

    I question that. When a book is print ready you have still the costs of printing but you can make infinite digital copies. So the publisher chooses to sell less books with a better margin then lower the price of ebooks and sell a lot more.

  23. MSI on Ask Slashdot: Linux-Friendly Motherboard Manufacturers? · · Score: 1

    So far I have not encountered any difficulties installing Ubuntu on MSI motherboards and they are not very expensive either. Of course YMMV.

  24. Webmail on Ask Slashdot: Current State of Linux Email Clients? · · Score: 1

    Most people I know go the webmail route: Gmail, Hotmail etc. Personally I prefer Thunderbird with IMAP and because I run my own mailserver I also installed Zarafa for use on the road.

  25. Re:There goes the tablet experience on PengPod Hits Funding Goal, Plans to Ship Linux Tablet In January · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just bought a € 99 tablet with Android 4, 1 Gb internal memory, 1.2 Ghz ARM A8 processor and a usb keyboard in a sleeve. It does everything it needs to do and at reasonable pace. Truth is that you do not need a Ipad to do basic things as browsing (Opera Mobile works perfect), email and some nice to have apps or casual gaming. Of course a Ipad is wonderfull but at a price I do not want to pay.
