  1. Re:Debian GNOME needs some attention on Debian Switching Back To GNOME As the Default Desktop · · Score: 1

    I find Unity to be diseased crap, for people who think Windows 8.x UI is wonderful also. It impedes workflow for those who work with multiple applications, it tries to turn the desktop into a cell phone, badly.

  2. Re:Cinnamon on Debian Switching Back To GNOME As the Default Desktop · · Score: 1

    Wrong, Cinnamon uses the GTK+, a library.

  3. Re:Systemd integration counted as a positive thing on Debian Switching Back To GNOME As the Default Desktop · · Score: 1

    You are confused, the logging in a Linux system is text. So are configuration files.

    Mysql is for people who occassionally like to use data, so funny you picked that for example.

  4. Re: Systemd integration counted as a positive thin on Debian Switching Back To GNOME As the Default Desktop · · Score: 1

    That is false, most of your Linux distro written by people that have nothing whatever to do with systemd. Plenty of kernel developers think it is pure shit

  5. Re:Systemd integration counted as a positive thing on Debian Switching Back To GNOME As the Default Desktop · · Score: 2

    Funny I've never had an init script "break" in 25+ years of Unix and Linux administration. Tell me does it make a snapping sound? Does it break because the summer weather made it get wet and soft? Can they be glued back together?

  6. Re:No big deal on Debian Switching Back To GNOME As the Default Desktop · · Score: 1

    So why not put your data on a more robust and higher performance file system? Even in Linux land, that's not ext4

  7. Re:How many of you are still using Gnome? on Debian Switching Back To GNOME As the Default Desktop · · Score: 2

    It uses GTK+ libaries, so what? unlike GNOME it uses them for a UI that doesn't suck.

  8. Re:How many of you are still using Gnome? on Debian Switching Back To GNOME As the Default Desktop · · Score: 1

    well, Debian is taking that to the next level and adopting systemd which ignores serious sys admins and fucks up the whole system init thing

  9. Re:Repeat history on KDE's UI To Bend Toward Simplicity · · Score: 2

    as a long time Microsoft hater and detracter I have to admit that looks pretty good, they finally realized they need to refine the "fairly good" of Windows 7 instead of flying off on tangent

  10. Re:can we have ONE non-dumbed down GUI please? on KDE's UI To Bend Toward Simplicity · · Score: 1

    nonsense, those microsoft developers still haven't made possible basic functionality anyone with half a brain would realize, such as ability to copy and paste error messages and URL off of popup alerts. Not polished at all.

  11. Re:Please See: on Extent of Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Record Levels · · Score: 1

    You prattle on but use false logic to reach your conclusion. The miniscule amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is of no import next to the DOMINANT greenhouse gas on planet earth, which is water vapor.

    You do not present a scientific argument at all, but instead commit well known error in argument.

  12. Re:Poor comparison... on New Data Center Protects Against Solar Storm and Nuclear EMPs · · Score: 1

    sure it can be, USA AM band is 0.540 to 1.710 MHz

    Also, US FM band is 87,500 to 108,000 KHz.

  13. Re: NSA scorecard on on truth? on New Details About NSA's Exhaustive Search of Edward Snowden's Emails · · Score: 1

    no, an entity that can and does meet its debt payments is not bankrupt, by definition.

  14. Re:What sort of engine on 3D-Printed Car Takes Its First Test Drive · · Score: 1

    Very different things, melting some plastic and making a silly claim of "making a car" is utter bullshit. Sintering jet engine or rocket engine parts in a different league altogether.

  15. Re:Please See: on Extent of Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Record Levels · · Score: 2

    well, "climate change" they call it now. Anything different in the last few decades is called "climate change"

  16. Re:Earth not warming for the past 14-22 years on Extent of Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Record Levels · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't confuse an stress-puppy laden with guilt and need to self-flagellate over the many benefits energy use has brought mankind (which far, far outweigh any health problems caused).

  17. Re:Time for new terminology on Extent of Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Record Levels · · Score: 0

    that's a funny claim to make when the fact is the hottest year in our very short records was 1998.

  18. Re:It's getting hotter still! on Extent of Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Record Levels · · Score: 1

    that politician had HEAVY influence in setting up laws and markets to profit from climate change fear mongering, and not just in the USA

  19. Re:What sort of engine on 3D-Printed Car Takes Its First Test Drive · · Score: 1

    No, that "printing" that NASA did was melting metal powder with a laser to make injector for a rocket engine. Nothing like the melting plastic which was done here, and I can't believe person who wrote that article claimed they printed a car.

  20. Re:1024-fold on SanDisk Releases 512GB SD Card · · Score: 1

    No, they didn't "realize" anything, the decimal architecture was done on purpose to be user friendly; IBM made purely binary machines before, during and after the 1620 and related systems.

    uh huh, with a third of their population living in poverty, on $1.25 USD purchasing parity a day, they're going to be world beaters?

  23. Re:Do not mess with my phone. on Technological Solution For Texting While Driving Struggles For Traction · · Score: 0

    This generation needs their phone "messed with". You are too dependent on your pocket entertainment system and it is rude and dangerous to others at times. Cars and meeting rooms and theaters should jam your phone until emergency detected.

  24. Re:Be sure to use ECC RAM on home set-ups on The State of ZFS On Linux · · Score: 1

    The number are about right according to which source? I will point out the article itself mentions studies that found the error rate a thousand times less than Google's.

    The Cray Y system was ECC SRAM with error rate of 6E-13 upset/bit-hour, but probably not relevant to discussion about today's typical memory.

    I will only note that Clinton's intern found a use for rolled tobacco products other than smoking them.
