  1. SkiDive on Microsoft Will Have To Rename SkyDrive · · Score: 1

    How about SkyDive? As in, what their relevance in the tech industry is doing.

  2. Re:Excellent on Meet Focal, the New Camera App For CyanogenMod · · Score: 1

    Yep, that works. Thank you!

  3. Excellent on Meet Focal, the New Camera App For CyanogenMod · · Score: 1

    Looks excellent. I hope they bring back the ability to go directly to the gallery after snapping a photo. There used to be a little thumbnail of the last pic that you could tap to view it full-screen. This went away when I updated from 10.0 to 10.1.

    Anyway, I'll be grabbing the first nightly that has Focal merged in.

    You are exactly right. I will be adding this to rev 2.0.

  5. Just like all chic flicks on The Book That Is Making All Movies the Same · · Score: 5, Funny

    Formula for chic flicks:

    1. Eye contact. They play coy for a while. He makes a buffoon of himself. She likes him, because he's a little shy.
    2. Connection. She hides her innermost feelings from him, while he opens up.
    3. Conflict. He either screws up somehow to make her unhappy, or she just can't get over some painful memory from her past.
    4. Separation. The relationship falls apart, for whatever idiotic reason.
    5. Resolution. Days, weeks or months later, they make contact. They either get together and everything's peachy, or they realize it was never meant to be and end up happy with someone else.

    And, #3 always ALWAYS ends up being something so idiotic and petty that nobody with any kind of rational thought process can relate. This is called the estrogen phase.

    Damn, I hate chic flicks.

    It depends on what you mean by OS. If you take RMS's definition (that the OS includes all of the utilities), then no. If you take any embedded systems engineer's definition of an OS (a piece of software (or "kernel") than handles the scheduling and context switching between the rest of the processes), then yes -- Linus created an OS.

  10. Re:what? on Linux 3.11 Officially Named "Linux For Workgroups" · · Score: 1

    Admittedly, I never used TOS -- I owned an 800 and a 130XE, but moved to a 386 after that. Do I regret never having used an ST? Yeah, maybe -- in the same way I regret never having used OS/2. But, I'm sure I would have ended up with my current platform of PC+Linux either way.

    How many 17 year old kids smoke weed and write on a locker with a marker?

    Probably more than those who steal jewelry, I would wager.

    No, you choose to use Apple so that you can post "And this is why I choose to use Apple" all around the interwebs.

    So... you can play MP3s and other "non-free" media types without further modification.

  22. Re:Why do we care about diff distro releases? on Linux Mint 15 'Olivia' Is Out · · Score: 2

    Feel free to propose criteria.

    Or, what if /. were to cover the top 5 (RHEL, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint... CentOS (ok, 6)), and then any that feature special innovations or have interesting peculiarities. So, pretty much what happens now.

    BTW, Mint is interesting and worthy of coverage for two reasons:
    1. Many Ubuntu users have defected and continue to defect, making Mint one of the most popular distros.
    2. We have the Mint guys to thank for Cinnamon and MATE.

  23. Re:Showers on Do Developers Need Free Perks To Thrive? · · Score: 1

    If this is going to happen at a company, it will happen regardless of whether showers are available. Also, if you're in a position/career where you're able to choose an employer based on such perks, their work/life track record should also play into your decision. If I had to regularly live at the office, I'd quit.

  24. Showers on Do Developers Need Free Perks To Thrive? · · Score: 1

    It's nice to be able to hit the gym and/or bike into work. I've been lucky enough to work for a couple of companies that have showers, and it's a perk I'd hate to go without.

  25. Excellent. Just in time for nobody to give a rat's ass any more.
