  1. Re:Disingenuous article - so, so wrong. on Apple Should Stop Selling Four-Year-Old Computers (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    https://www.slrlounge.com/ligh... I know that you feel it run faster but isn't the case.

  2. FUD News? on Windows' Built-In PDF Reader Exposes Edge Browser To Hacking (softpedia.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So they are talking about a possibility of exploit and not an actual exploit....

  3. ChillingfEffects.org on Google Starts Removing Search Results After EU Ruling · · Score: 1

    How long will pass to have a chilling effect.org like for this types of requests? It will be cool to check what people want to hide.

  4. April's Fools? on Subversion Project Migrates To Git · · Score: 1

    Really?

  5. Mark as duplicated on A Dedicated Shell For Git Commands · · Score: 5, Informative

    There is already a git-sh . It even have a debian package included on the main repos.

  6. Very poor map data in my area on Major Backlash Looms For Apple's New Maps App · · Score: 1

    I live in Perú and i can tell you that the breach between Google Maps and the new Apple Maps app is huge. The last week I did a small trip to a town in the Andean. While Google Maps had all roads Apple only shows the towns name. The Google Maps app using HTML5 was worthless the web app doesn't seem to find my location (maybe a api change). So I'm one of the disappointed iPhone users and I'll be waiting for a proper solution directly from Google. I think it may change my mind when I switch my phone later this year.

  7. demonoid.me points to 127.0.0.1 on Demonoid Down For a Week, Serving Malware Laden Ads · · Score: 2, Informative

    For me demonoid.me points to localhost so if you're being redirected to a malaware website your system is compromised.

  8. Apple use Secure boot on Richard Stallman Speaks About UEFI · · Score: 1

    Since they turned over Intel Architecture for Macs they use UEFI you can disable it and install Windows. I'm supposing the "PC" implementation will be similar. So I don't see any problem here.

  9. MP3Car.com on Ask Slashdot: How To Add New Tech To Old Van? · · Score: 2

    I have done a similar project before. From my experience a very good resource for information is Mp3Car. There are a lot of projects with pictures. People over there is very helpful on this matter.

    There are many solutions to powering your computers I have used DC-DC power adapter that transforms 12v to ATX compatible power (M4-ATX). It take of engine cranks and any voltage variation. A good place to buy parts is Mini Box they have a car computing section.

  10. Re:Fed. Wiretapping Laws? Really? on Judge OKs Wiretap Lawsuit Over Google Wi-Fi Sniffing · · Score: 2

    Moral of the story: Don't disclose small errors to the public. Many lawyers will see an opportunity to get their pockets filled.

  11. Re:So my phone tracks itself, big deal on Apple Logging Locations of All iPhone Users · · Score: 2

    There is no need to know the password... files are not encrypted. If they got your iphone just jailbreak it or if they stole your pc just look through your files.

  12. GMail HTML version on Advocacy Group For the Blind Slams Google Apps · · Score: 1

    At least gmail have an HTML mode. But I think the problem is that we need better screenreaders more suitable to modern Internet.

  13. emoji on New iConji Language For the Symbol-Minded Texter · · Score: 1

    What is the point of recreating this idea? Emoji have been around for a long time and they have native support on the iPhone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji

  14. Re:[sigh] on Apple May Face Antitrust Inquiry · · Score: 1

    The kind of idot that develop using frameworks like Qt to have PORTABLE applications. Do you get the point?

  15. The Last Photo has a bird flying! on Photoshop CS5's Showpiece — Content-Aware Fill · · Score: 1

    I'm very impressed but in the last picture (the landscape one) i think that is really impossible. The process even put a flying bird in the upper left corner. It doesn't feel like that is even possible.

  16. Transparent Proxy on Google Search Convicts Hacker · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This kind of proxy is very common on businesses and among other useful stuff they log the HTTP request made by any client in the network. This is the easiest way, noone else is requiered to get the queries just check your own server logs.

  17. Fix the Blog Post Link on EarthLink Is Losing a Lot of Email · · Score: 2
  18. Google Webmaster Tools on Google De-indexes Talk.Origins, Won't Say Why UPDATED · · Score: 5, Informative

Additionaly you have statistics for searches and how GoogleBot see your site. So, you shouldn't blame until you googled for the answer! Searching for "Google index tool" shows up "Google Webmaster Central"...

  19. This isn't a Google problem is a social problem on Death by Google Calendar · · Score: 1

    Lately many people like to expose their lifes over Internet. I don't know exactly why everyone is doing this but people don't care about giving out names, photos, address, schedules, living details, ... Is like everyone wants to be famous or feel alive. You know "I'm here! Please watch me!".

  20. Re:Google Video on YouTube Receives $3.5M Funding from Sequoia · · Score: 1

    Google Video doesn't allow to embed video in your web page that is the main advantage of YouTube. Embedded content is the nice feature of the service just like flickr.
