  1. RColorBrewer on Brewing Better Charts and Maps · · Score: 3, Informative

    For R users, see the RColorBrewer package for an easy way to use these palettes in maps and charts.

  2. Office Version ? on Facebook Planning Office Version To Rival LinkedIn, Google · · Score: 1

    At first read I thought that Facebook was developing a spreadsheet and a word processor...

  3. Seafile on Ask Slashdot: Which Encrypted Cloud Storage Provider? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I've found Seafile to be quite good and reliable. It's a multiplatform, free software, self-hosted Dropbox alternative that provides file syncing, sharing, a web interface, and tools for team work. Libraries can be encrypted server-side.
    I use it for several months now and it is both fast and reliable (much more than the owncloud versions I tested previously). It handles my whole pictures collection (about 90GB) very easily. You can install your own Seafile server (there's even a raspberry pi version), or buy storage space from them. Clients are multiplatform (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone/iPad).

  4. Re:Actions to take on Snowden NSA Claims Partially Confirmed, Says Rep. Jerrold Nadler · · Score: 1

    It's evidence that bathroom surveillance is not what it should be (or at least not used properly).

    Yep. I think the NSA should do much more bathroom surveillance.

  5. Re:iPhone 4s? on Samsung's Galaxy S III Steals Smartphone Crown From iPhone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How did the GSIII fare against the iPhone 4s plus the iPhone 5 numbers? Seems to me to be a more fair comparison....

    And many people postponed an iPhone 4S purchase because they knew the iPhone 5 was going to be shipped. So it doesn't seem a pertinent period of time to do such a comparison.

  6. Re:Duplicate story from Oct 31 on MIT Research Tweaks Smartphone Amplifier Voltage To Gain Battery Life · · Score: 2

    It's not a dupe. In an incredible technical breakthrough, Slashdot just managed to half the power required to operate its website by posting every story twice.

  7. Re:Dreadful name on Amazon, Rackspace Add New Cloud Capabilities · · Score: 2

    Next services they're going to offer : "rubberized wheelbarrow" to help you migrate from one cloud to another, and "ducttaped showerhose" to ease communication between several cloud-deplyed load-balanced webapps.

  8. Re:Why not wait? on Firefox 4, A Huge Pile of Bugs · · Score: 1

    Did you try the notscripts chrome extension ? Not as complete and efficient as noscript, but it allows to control javascript on a domain based level...

  9. How many times will we have to tell you ? on HP CEO Resigns During Sexual Harassment Investigation · · Score: 1

    The name is not "Hurd". It is "GNU/Hurd".
    And I think we should not be too harsh with someone whose kernel is quite small and who is permanently surrounded by daemons...

  10. For those who may ask... on Google Releases a Web-App Case Study For Hackers · · Score: 4, Funny

    The webapp is written in Python.

  11. Re:How many bits does it take to kill a human? on How Many Bits Does It Take To Kill You? · · Score: 1

    640 bits ought to be enough for anyone...

  12. Re:party like it's 1997! on Slashdot Turns 10 But You Get The Presents · · Score: 3, Funny

    Bah... you must be new here. I'm sure you missed at least one.

    Of course he missed one, you insensitive clod !
