  1. Re:Rename it on Reiser4 File System Still In Development · · Score: 2

    SausageFS is my suggestion. Immediately gives a professional impression.

  2. Re:Am I the only one... on Will EU Regulations Effectively Ban High-End Video Cards? · · Score: 1

    Yes, sir.

  3. Re:2 years in the planning? on Bruce Perens To Answer Your Questions · · Score: 1

    It will be released simply "when it's done". No official video of the question asking process has been shown for almost 13 years, until Slashdot released this new teaser trailer, but the event will "submerge" yet again soon afterwards.

  4. Re:DO NOT BUY. on Pedagogical Bundle Lets You Pay What You Want For Educational Software · · Score: 1

    Meh. Don't be so mean.

  5. Re:Why the complaints? on Raspberry Pi Gets 512MB Filling · · Score: 1

    Probably because people started to use this as a full Ubuntu system.

  6. Re:Rubbish! on How Facebook Can Out Your Most Personal Secrets · · Score: 1

    I should add that even without Facebook, I am doing pretty good so far. What am I missing?

    An easy way to contact pretty much anyone in your vicinity.

  7. Re:What a surface-level article. on The Story of Nokia MeeGo · · Score: 1

    Examples given included bad code written in India and the communication problems with the Chinese and the Japanese because of their poor English skills.

    I have sometimes wondered, as Asians are the top dogs in hi-tech and electronics, why is their English language skill so poor then? One could assume that they would push it more in schools, especially along engineering subjects.

  8. Solution on DRM Could Come To 3D Printers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well *ahem* the solution obviously is to use the excellent Lulzbot AO-100 printer.

  9. Re:There is a general truth to consider... on Linux Foundation Offers Solution for UEFI Secure Boot · · Score: 3, Funny

    Perhaps the real question here is why do people continue with Windows, when there are other options that have better general security?

    Because in its current state Windows is secure enough. And after that, the other features matter more (all software and hardware works, it came preinstalled, etc).

  10. Re:And this is why on Alan Cox to NVIDIA: You Can't Use DMA-BUF · · Score: 1

    Now you know how everyone else feels who tries to use Linux to get something to work and is told either to roll their own code or RTFM.

    And even if you are a programmer and want to fix some random bug, it takes a lot of time to get familiar with that particular code, to set up a proper compile/test environment, etc. To me it seems that bug fixing is usually only viable to those who are the actual routined developers of the project in question.

  11. Re:Can I Fund Unity a Negative Amount? on Ubuntu Asks Users To Pay What They Want · · Score: 1

    Here's a link to the talk you are probably talking about (if someone wants to watch it). Google generally holds pretty interesting lectures, so people might wanna check the current AtGoogleTalks channel, too.

  12. Re:Can I Fund Unity a Negative Amount? on Ubuntu Asks Users To Pay What They Want · · Score: 1

    Not a surprise actually. While I myself like Unity, it is unfortunately quite resource-hungry.

  13. Already? on Firefox 16 Pulled To Address Security Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    I know about the new speedy release scheme, but how is it possible that version 16 is released when 15 is only at 15.0.1?

  14. Re:We're racing towards a free future now! on FSF Certifies First Device in "Respects Your Freedom" Program · · Score: 1

    Agreed, if they ever would certify a 2D printer, I think that would certainly have to be one of the requirements.

  15. Re:So what? on FSF Certifies First Device in "Respects Your Freedom" Program · · Score: 1

    That's not a good argument. Why mock a company if it does not help you in some way? I bet there is an enormously long list of companies that you do not benefit from.

  16. Re:Depends what you're working on... on Ask Slashdot: What Equipment and Furniture For an Electronics Hardware Lab? · · Score: 1

    A opposed to fake earth grounded mains? Houses usually have a 2 metre earthing rod shoved in to the ground...

    There is also a method where you dig a copper ring around the house. But yeah, I suppose there are differences by countries and buildings of how it is done.

  17. The correct solution on Russian Officials Consider Ban On Wi-Fi Use For Kids · · Score: 0

    The proper solution would be to the parents to control their youngsters' computer usage. After all you can get online with 3G anyway.

  18. Re:Oblig? on Russian Officials Consider Ban On Wi-Fi Use For Kids · · Score: 1

    The W-iFi uses you to connect to the Internet.

  19. Re:How do you stay organized? on Linus Torvalds Will Answer Your Questions · · Score: 1

    +1 for this from me.

  20. Re:What is an NPC? on Linus Torvalds Will Answer Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Yep. More accurately ei-pelaajahahmo.

  21. Re:Saami? on Linus Torvalds Will Answer Your Questions · · Score: 1

    The answer is quite definitely no, you can find Saami people pretty much only in the northern areas of Finland. They are sort of an "aboriginals" of Finland, a niche thing anyway. But you might find some Swedish cultural properties in Linus.

  22. Re:Knock out the spammers on Automated DMCA Takedown Notices Request Censorship of Legitimate Sites · · Score: 2

    Sounds like Google would be well within their rights now to label Microsoft a spam network and ignore ALL future takedown requests.

    While you are modded funny, and it is funny, but I still think it is also the right thing to do. If I had my company receiving random takedown requests which make no sense, why would we spend our workers' time going through them? We would just report Microsoft that we will get back to you once you start sending real takedown requests, and for now put all their stuff to the trash...I mean, Recycle Bin.

  23. Re:turn it off? on Mozilla To Bug Firefox Users With Old Adobe Reader, Flash, Silverlight · · Score: 4, Informative

    I run Win2k and Flash can't be upgraded any more anyway. And I use Acrobat 4. I don't want any later version. I don't want to be nagged to upgrade things. I know what I have and I know what I need.

    Actually, when you look at the Archived Flash Player versions, it seems that the 10.x line (the last one compatible with Windows 2000) still gets some kind of minor updates.

  24. Re:Officially? on Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Jailbroken · · Score: 1

    "Official" here seems just to refer to that it actually has happened.

  25. Re:Too late, I already patent my FSF on Samsung Creates New File System F2Fs For Linux & Android · · Score: 2

    Actually you should say "Samsung-ssi" or "Samsung sunsengnim" in Korean. The -san is a Japanese thing. :)
