  1. Get somethings business on Ask Slashdot: Which Laptop Should I Buy For My First Employee? · · Score: 1

    Get something that is midpriced brand new laptop. Good choices are: HP Probook 4XX Dell Vostro Lenovo V330 Acer Travelmate All of these are not very expensive but are very durable. I personally like HP Probook 450 most, but would go will Dell Vostro as it comes with 3 year warranty as standard in Europe. The others come with 2 year.

  2. Re:Too early to celebrate on Let's Encrypt Is Now Officially Trusted by All Major Root Certificates (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Very vague statement, what is "old" and "older"? Even IE6 (xp sp3) qualifies! https://letsencrypt.org/docs/c...

    It is *comaptible* with all of these via IdenTrust. Does not mean, all of these will trust directly Let's Encrypt....

  3. From the official announcement: "While Let’s Encrypt is now directly trusted by almost all newer versions of operating systems, browsers, and devices, there are still many older versions in the world that do not directly trust Let’s Encrypt. Some of those older systems will eventually be updated to trust Let’s Encrypt directly. Some will not, and we’ll need to wait for the vast majority of those to cycle out of the Web ecosystem. We expect this will take at least five more years, so we plan to use a cross signature until then." So let's not hurry with the celebrations. It will take 5 year at least to happen ......

  4. Seamonkey is around. Who cares about FireWhat ?!

  5. Chrome and Firefox Only on Many VPN Providers Leak Customer's IP Address via WebRTC Bug (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Let's be a little bit more specific. The bug works with Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Both IE and Seamonkey are not affected. Not sure about Edge....

  6. It is in the X-files ! on Sorry, But Anonymous Has No Evidence That NASA Has Found Alien Life (popsci.com) · · Score: 1

    The truth is out there ! :)

  8. MS and SAP Apps on Ask Slashdot: What Windows-Only Apps Would You Most Like To See On Linux? · · Score: 1

    1. Native MS Office 2013, MS Outlook and Excel in particular 2. SAP GUI(real one, not JAVA)

  9. Serviio rocks on Ask Slashdot: Suggestions For a Simple Media Server? · · Score: 1

    My Current setup is: HP Miniserver 1 x 250 GB 3 x 3 TB FreeBSD(Nas4Free) Serviio 2 x LG and 1 x Samsung TV It works really great. My suggestion is: Stick with serviio, just make a post on serviio forum - maybe you need to change Serviio profile to "encode everything"(if you can afford it CPU wise), but really so far I never had any problem with any .mkv file ...

  10. Postgresql real problem on Will Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn Stay With MySQL? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I personally think that the real problem with Postgresql happened 10 years ago. At that time it was not possible to run Postgresql on Windows(it was only possible via cygwin). That helped mysql get critical mass and Postgresql stayed behind. Then the snowball effect came into play and mysql was getting much more users compared to Postgresql.

  11. Samsung is still the king on Samsung Smart TV: Basically a Linux Box Running Vulnerable Web Apps · · Score: 2

    I own both LG(2013) and Samsung(2012) Tvs. I bought it on purpose w/o camera ;-) However Samsung is still the king, apps are much more polished,DLNA works MUCH better. However you realize that after you buy something different from Samsung. If you use DLNA a lot, Samsung is the only way to go.

  12. Internet is for porn ! on Over a Third of the Internet Is Pornographic · · Score: 1

  15. a browser ? on Opera 10.0 Released, With Integrated Web Server Functionality · · Score: 2, Funny

    Webserver, extras etc ? I wish it had a browser....:-)

  16. Re:Er... on A Mozilla Plugin to Help Overcome IE Rendering Flaw · · Score: 1

    It allows web developers to take advantage of this feature, but still have their sites be accessible by people using IE (out of ignorance or otherwise). Right now no web-developer can really target features not available on IE unless they want to alienate a large percentage of their user base.

    As a professional web developer I can say that is complete rubbish. We can not rely on most IE users to have this plugin so we can not take advantage of any new features. The fact is that while IE is as prevalent as it currently still is we have to develop primarily for that platform. In the corporate world a great many people still use IE6 so we have to test under that very thoroughly too.

    The plugin will be very useful for intranets where IS the standard. So yes, it will help web developers for Intranets.

  17. Re:Well... on It's "1984" in Europe, What About Your Country? · · Score: 1

    It has ALREADY turned into '1984'

  18. Sounds like black PR ! on Skype Security and Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    The whole article sounds like black PR to me ! GoogleTalk has NO encryption at all and is closed source too. Does that make it more private ? Everyday I see praises for Google and bad things about their compaetitors(e.g Yahoo, Skype).

  19. RSA card on Protecting Your Personal Info While Traveling? · · Score: 1

    As alternative approach you can use SecurID( http://www.rsasecurity.com/node.asp?id=1156) It generates unique password for you that is valid ONLY 20 seconds !. So even if someone sees that pass he can use it for less than 20 seconds
