  1. Does it support multitouch on Linux? on VirtualBox 4.3 Comes With New Multi-Touch Support, Virtual Cam and More · · Score: 1

    (No, I didn't RTFA.)

  2. Re:Typing above a table is still a PITA! on Charlie Stross: Why Microsoft Word Must Die · · Score: 1

    This is simple although not really discoverableâ"at least in Word 2003 and before. To type above the existing table, click Table -> Break Table (not sure it's the exact English name; anyway, it's in Table menu below the Split command.) It's the command that breaks a table above the current row.

  3. Re:Now.. on Intel's Haswell Chips Pushing Windows RT Into Oblivion · · Score: 1

    What is the model of your tablet?

  4. Re: How much RAM? on Tiny $45 Cubic Mini-PC Supports Android and Linux · · Score: 1

    Regarding not being able to leave a comment there, can you provide more info? I checked through all the settings and everything seems fine. You just need a Google or OpenID login.

    I chose Google account authentication method, then hit Send. Nothing happened. I wasn't redirected to Google, and my message didn't appear.

    Regarding the UI language detection, I should have a Russian IP and do not take any measures against locating me, so in theory, the server should have offered Russian or English as a fallback.

    By the way, since ALSA is also used in Linux/ARM, I expect that it will work the same way.

    To me this is one of the most interesting parts, because it may or may not work. The only option is to try and see.

  5. Re: How much RAM? on Tiny $45 Cubic Mini-PC Supports Android and Linux · · Score: 1

    Thank you! I don't seem to be able to leave a comment there, in addition to the UI being in Spanish (though I can figure it out by word stems :-) )

    Nice stuff you have there. What do you plan to use as the MIDI interface between the computer and the keyboard? Some DIY adapter? Or are there USB audio-MIDI interfaces that are supported with a generic USB audio driver on Linux/ARM?

  6. Re:Pre-Order... :( on Tiny $45 Cubic Mini-PC Supports Android and Linux · · Score: 1

    Can you specifically recommend any for Ubuntu?

  7. Re: How much RAM? on Tiny $45 Cubic Mini-PC Supports Android and Linux · · Score: 1

    What distro, SW, etc. you plan to use? I would also love to read about how this works out for you. Do you per chance have a blog?

  8. Re: software, or all patents? on How Patent Trolls Stalled a New Transit App · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure that NextBus owning a license necessarily means that the patent doesn't apply. It might happen that patent law or the specific license say otherwise.

  9. Re:wow on US Mounted 231 Offensive Cyber-operations In 2011, Runs Worldwide Botnet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah, because it may contain competitor's rootkit instead of their own.

  10. Re:Those magnets sure were fun on U.S. Gov't Still Fighting the Man Behind Buckyballs; Guess Who's Winning? · · Score: 1

    What, did you eat all you had?

  11. Re:Struggling with a near monopoly. on Steve Ballmer's Big-Time Error: Not Resigning Years Ago · · Score: 1

    Vista runs fine since ages (at least since SP1, and we're at SP2 now.) I got Vista with my laptop, and I see absolutely no point in upgrading. It does its job fine.

  12. Re:Autodesk is as bad as they get on Autodesk To Follow Adobe's 'Rent Our Software' Business Model? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Oh there's a GUI layered on top but all it does is construct the same old command-line commands after 25 freaking years.

    But is that bad?

  13. Re:First-world problems on Researchers Discover Way To Spot Crappy Coffee · · Score: 1

    Do you have special McCafe sections at McDonald's where you live? We do here, and while I cannot say anything about Starbucks coffee (they opened just recently in St. Petersburg, and I haven't got around to visiting them yet), the coffee in McCafe seems not bad *and* better than what you get in the main section at McDonald's.

  14. Omnibox is painfully slow for me on Google Chrome 29 Is Out: Omnibox Suggestions, Profile Resetting · · Score: 1

    Using Omnibox is torture for me. More often than not it freezes for several seconds when I try typing something there. Reinstalling doesn't help. It is the reason I reverted to Firefox.

  15. Re:Mirror? on Yahoo Deletes Journalist's Pre-Paid Legacy Site After Suicide · · Score: 1

    Links from there are broken because they point to Yahoo.

  16. Re: They didn't know he also... on Yahoo Deletes Journalist's Pre-Paid Legacy Site After Suicide · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because there are times when it is OK.

  17. Re:Juan Valdez on Excess Coffee May Be Linked To Early Death · · Score: 2

    Hmm, I heard that coffee was bad for testosterone level? No idea if that's even remotely correct though.

  18. Re:hmmmmm on Criminals Use 3D-Printed Skimming Devices On Sydney ATMs · · Score: 2

    In other words, they didn't build those skimming devices?

  19. Re:Yes! Buy it now! on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Good Device Holster? · · Score: 2

    Not sure if packing devices ion your pants is good for your transmitter part. Your data rate may soon plummet.

  20. Two words on MS Office For Android: Pretty, But Woefully Incomplete · · Score: 1

    Softmaker Office.

  21. Re:can it be disabled ? on Moscow Subway To Use Special Devices To Read Data On Passengers' Phones · · Score: 2

    The answer is that stolen or lost SIM cards are not tied to your identity. In Russia, when you buy a SIM card, most of the time you have to present your passport, and your identity data are recorded.

  22. Re:Not so radical. on A Radical Plan For Saving Microsoft's Surface RT · · Score: 1

    This, and make it a bit cheaper - I'm sure it will have a healthy market. Heck, it will make a difference even with desktop apps only.

  23. Re:I'm amazed... on George Zimmerman Acquitted In Death of Trayvon Martin · · Score: 1

    Shooting someone may or may not be self-defense. But assaulting someone is NOT self-defense by definition.

  24. Re:regarding constitutions on Egyptian President Overthrown, Constitution Suspended · · Score: 2

    Nothing specific, because this feature is not unique to a certain constitution. In fact, it's common to all rules set by humans.

  25. Re:Yet another different angle on Russian Rocket Proton-M Crashes At Launch · · Score: 1

    Jeez, in the end, the man seems to be crying. Very touching.
