  1. Re:It was the first standard for video? on In Memoriam: VGA (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    I just had one built for me last year. Serial port.

    Dunno why, but I googled.

    I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope people still think of me ten+ years after I'm gone.

    Desktops are no longer cost efficient now that laptops are so cheap.

    Only if your work doesn't stress the laptop to any significant degree.

    A laptop is *not* a good fit for software builds lasting 45 minutes to an hour at a go. Trust me.

    +1, Why do we need to reinvent the wheel (and badly)?

  5. Re:OpenSUSE? on Project Neon Will Bring Users Up-to-Date KDE Packages (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with KDE being an option in OpenSUSE?

    Absolutely nothing. Works great, been using that combo for years.

  6. Re:What is wrong with kde on Fedora? on Project Neon Will Bring Users Up-to-Date KDE Packages (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    OopenSUSE does an excellent job of supporting KDE. Been using both for 10+ years.

    I'd much rather let the OpenSUSE folks sort out what's really ready for prime-time than burn up my own time fighting to stay on top top of the latest and greatest.

    (Yes, I had nerdgasms the first time I got the spinning cube desktop switcher working. After about 15 minutes, I realised that this might be fun, but I still had work to do.)

    You apparently did not bother to read the blog to which you linked:

    It should be noted that this plan still allows for usage of the “http” URI scheme in legacy content. With HSTS and the upgrade-insecure-requests CSP attribute, the “http” scheme can be automatically translated to “https” by the browser, and thus run securely.

    The torrent took me exactly 1 minute and one second to download.

    Oh, I'm sorry--be sure to hide your user agent, or they'll try to make you download some damned Firefox add-on first, for verifying the download. Fortunately, there's a torrent.

    It is the same. They just push an apparently new and eye-crossingly "simplified" solution out in front of it.

    Just show us where to grab the ISO so we can burn the damned thing to a DVD or USB already, geez.

    Given Slashdot's support for Unicode, how will they post anything?

    Take a look at some of the histories/journals of users who've been harrassed by him, e.g. me, Coren22, BarbaraHudson. I'll try to come back later when I'm not half-asleep and dig up/post some links. Cheers.

    I'm cautiously optimistic--seems like you guys recognise that you've got something a little different/special/original here. Good luck!

    "Minero Digital awoke a sleeping giant" is completely correct.

    If you're implying that the verb "awake" can't be used transitively, you're wrong. But don't take my word for it--check the dictionary for yourself.

    1. It was big for the time.

    2. It sucked ass. The drives were slow, and neither the disks nor the drives were very reliable.
