  4. MacGyver Tip: Clean your Macbook with nail polish on Heat, Whine, and Now Yellow MacBooks · · Score: 4, Informative

    In lifehacjker.com you can find a cleaning solution that works: Non-acetone nail polish remover. Also, someone mentions that Mr Clean Magic Eraser also works.

  5. About Alexis de Tocqueville on Linus Not The Father Of Linux, According to Report · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia has a good article about Alexis de Tocqueville. Seems that this people learned a lot from him: "Alexis de Tocqueville once observed that it is easier for the world to accept a simple lie than a complex truth."

  6. Overflow them! on A Gator By Any Other Name · · Score: 5, Interesting

    They install a program on your machine that sends data over your connection about your behavior, right?. So, why don't we give them what they're are asking for? Why don't develop a program to send fake data to the server that gator is connecting to? If the data is credible (=random but correct), they have a mountain of crap data about users ... and voila, their business plan is useless

  8. Alternative to instantDB on Lutris, Close Source, And The Open Source Community · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is an anternative RDBMS to instantDB. It's called HypersonicSQL and it's been implemented in Java. I don't know if it has as many features as IDB, but you have an open alternative. HSQL it's BSD'ed BTW.

  9. What a coincidence! on How to Build a Fad Website: AmIHotOrNot · · Score: 1
    "We chose to use Rackspace Managed Hosting because it was top ranked by a couple of informational Web sites we consulted. This ended up being a great choice. That first week, I called Rackspace nearly every night around 3 a.m. to request another server. Each time, the new machine would be up and running by the time I awoke the next morning. By the end of the week, we had gone from one Web server to seven."
    Rackspace is an big advertiser in /. Is this a coincidence or what?
  10. PalmOS API over Linux on The New Handspring Visor: The Edge · · Score: 1

    Would it be difficult to get a Free (beer) working version of the PalmOS' API for Linux?

    I mean, can someone do the same to the PalmOS' API that the (incredible) people of WINE is doing to the Windows one?

    Imagine if you can run all the PalmOS programs w/o having to pay for the OS ...

  11. Why ca't you use it in RH? on Petreley on apt-get vs. RPM · · Score: 2


    I'm a newbie
    </disclaimer>

    If apt-get is so good, why can't you use it in RPM based distros? (RH, Mandrake)

    BTW, is there any .deb -> .rpm converter? If not, it's possible to make? has any sense?
