  1. At work it is terrible! on The Death of Booting Up · · Score: 1

    When at work loading the corporate systemstack twice: one local XP system and one remote terminalserver session it takes a long 8 minutes before I am logged in. Funny thing is when using my own laptop it just takes a little more then 4 minutes to login at the terminalserver. Too bad that taking your own device with you has been marked as insecure.

  2. What they do not tell.. on Dutch Government To Tax Drivers Based On Car Use · · Score: 2

    are the costs involved with building and maintaining this system. Combined with privacy concerns, possible fraud and system failure makes an fuel tax much more preferable.

  3. They change little to nothing .... on LinkedIn Hurries To Address Privacy Stumble · · Score: 1

    on their privacy policy. When you look at the original blogpost the only thing that changes is the misuse of your profile photo. Someone can still recall which person on your network is following the advertiser.

  4. Re:Just like the "war on drugs" on ISPs Will Now Be Copyright Cops · · Score: 1

    Sooner or later they will succeed in their attempt to lower substantly all illegal downloads. But it will backfire to them because many people will not have the means to discover new music and films other then those current massmedia shit on tv and radio. So in the end they will loose more then they do right now. Too bad that all our rights will have been revoked by then.

  5. Re:Lower your expectations on Ask Slashdot: Linux Support In Universities? · · Score: 1

    Same here, I use a Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit client and I had to install the Java-plugin by hand and disable the IcedTea plugin in FF but besides that everythings works fine with the Juniper applet.

  6. Re:Finally... on Steve Ballmer's Head On the Block? · · Score: 1

    I think the Unity project is going to go very badly for Canonical, but not Linux in general. KDE is still here and works pretty well in 4.6, and has never been the kind of DE to remove choices and options. I predict the KDE distros are going to pick up a lot of users soon.

    I agree to that my current install is Ubuntu 10.04 and there will have to happen a lot before I try to install the Unity desktop. For my notebook I tried the dist-upgrade and it fucked up my 10.10 big time. So I removed it totally and installed Kubuntu which works perfectly. For my netbook I will try Xubuntu as a upgrade because of the less powerfull processor in it. I surely hope Canonical reconsiders their Unity policy.

  7. Re:Anything of these good? on Beating Censorship By Routing Around DNS · · Score: 1

    At the moment there is nothing that fit that bill. At best you will get a shadow or underground system that will functioning concurrently with the current DNS-system. The impact will be too big for internet as a whole to kill off the current DNS-system imho.

  8. It hardly will change the processormarket.. on AMD Details Upcoming Bulldozer Architecture · · Score: 1

    because they can not really compete with Intel anymore. And Intel hardly punished for it's anti-competitive behaviour will laugh about it. Too bad but that will not change in the near future.

  9. Re:I like it. on The Joy of the Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    Our Philips P4500 did have the same 10M removable disk pack and you could really hear it when a heavy query was executed. Until one morning it sounded more like a Jumbo 747 and ended with a long squeek. I saved it for years but alas last time I moved there was really not enough room to store everything.

  10. Janus on Microsoft Janus · · Score: 1
