Is this whole thing about admins thinking that self signing a certificate is actually worth something? If you can't afford this CA stuff just don't have encrypted giberish, ok?
I mean, really. What's the point of a self-signed certificate? Name a real life scenario in which signing your own certificates makes any sense? Why should a web browser trust those sites more than a normal person would trust a guy who has signed his certificates? Because this blog writer and own blog linker has managd to somehow connect it to net neutrality?
I don't get it . Wouldn't an algorithm that does the usual "pixelifying" effect on faces it finds automatically make more sense? At least for these applications.
One half of my slashdot geek instict tells me to applaud the aid to OGG, while the other half tells me to rant about how bloated firefox is getting! Cause everybody knows this will make the browser slower even when you are not using !... Err, just noticed, that last half is very lame, I'll order it to shut up.
Aw, but really you got to accept the lawsuit is BS. It is not like google is releasing ultra zoomed pics of their house in which you can see both being intimate after zooming in the window. It is not like google earth is placing signs like "This is the Pennsylvania couple's house!" all over the map. In all seriousness, would you sue google just because you can find your house in google earth? Let's all begin suing mountain tops...
I am saying that mods are just giving "informative" or "insightful" mods to funny posts just to ensure they get karma, so it really isn't preventing funny posts from getting karma, it just is making funny posts get modded as 'insightful'
Yeah like who cares, I have always made PDFs from OOo formulas and never found any non-niceness, but OOo's engine for introducing the math takes a lot less time in OOo and has a lot more options than MSOffice's. I'll focus on those aspects instead of the looks of a zoomed square root.
Why doesn't funny give karma anyway? It seems to me the only purpose of making funny not give karma is to make some mods use improper tags for some messages.
At least when you compare it to virtualbox, anyway, it suffers from the same old Sun style "open source shareware software" model in which there is a proprietary version with more features. I really wouldn't find a single use to virtual box if it wasn't for the USB support. It stinks that it is a feature for the proprietary only version.
In comparison to VMWare, virtualBox is quite nice, I have had a better experience with virtual Box in both windows-host-Linux-guest and Linux-host-windows-guest cases.
But it is a little offending to see the summary give all credit to Sun, Innotec did it all, Sun just bought it, and if you ask, Sun pretty much lowered the quality of the product. Now it annoys you with presumption of it being 'Sun' and got renamed to "Sun xVM VirtualBox" which is qutie a lame name.
BUT the largest issue is that seamless windows have just stopped worked correctly, they used to respect gnome-panel and actually put the windows taskbar in a way that didn't overlap with gnome-panel. Now it just takes the full screen in a totally unusable way (since gnome-panel is always on top, it makes it very hard to access maximized stuff and the taskbar, unlike the previous incarnation of seamless windows, before Sun). It is so bad that it is quite useless, got reverted to using the VM embedded in a window.
Actually, I strongly disagree, In my opinion it is one of the few things in which OOo truly tops office. Of course LaTeX tops both, but really OOo is quite fine.
what? Did you miss the discovery channel documentary about ipods?
Steve Jobs, the visionary, the pioner then thought.
-How about I put a hard disk and mp3 software in a small device. I shall call my new creation iPod.
-The heavens shall tremble as of now a new creation has been created, people are able to listen to music using white headphones. Such vision could only come from such a brilliant, magnificent mind that Steve Jobs is, the world shall sorrow after he is gone, to his planet where he'll return to reign with Iron fist.
Hmnn, at least I think that was the tone of that documentary.
claims to index three times as many Web pages as Google
Does this claim nears the reality at least a little? Many search queries I tried are giving very few results (though most of them give no result at all) while in google there are 1000, - of course, only the first 10 of them are useful, but even if you count only the useful ones google is giving a lot more results.
I guess it is targeting teenagers who search for porn. I mean, "we don't store your queries, really, reaaallly" and the whole dark layout designed to make your brain unable to keep 100% of the data but at least teens like black layouts... Exciting.
This is a standard, run of the mill business notebook
ahahahahahaha.
To think of the days you could run an with 768 MB and it would still be really , really fast. Oooh, I just remember, those times are 2008! several OSes can run in less than a GB without problem, but windows vista needs 2GB just to be considered 'fast'. But hey it doesn't matter since RAM is soo cheap...

Such statements come from the company that has been so many times declared by Novell a benefactor and the only reason for its economic growth.
Isn't Sugar pretty close to that Text-free UI stuff?

I just RTFA, and these guys are not internet trolls, they are just utter idiots.

Heh, I can't believe a VMWare fan actually got mod points, but really, virtual Box is sooo much cooler than VMWare I can't believe it.

Vista: The OS that you can't trust to run outside a VM.
The good news is, at least ReactOS has finally gotten up to the same level as the last released MS OS.

... For sure it isn't MS. Just take a look at the windows XP deal...
Linux Mint has already taken that approach long ago.
If it is not broken... Really, I thought LaTeX's complexity was a feature.
Actually, I strongly disagree, In my opinion it is one of the few things in which OOo truly tops office. Of course LaTeX tops both, but really OOo is quite fine.
Wow, apple fans on the mod rampage.

So, you mean it is not really a straw man, but rather an ad hominem?

Because the current 'dumb' was not enough for MS.

You mean (Intel) OLPCnews is biased? What a shocker.
