  3. DIY: IR serial on Ask Slashdot: Old PC File Transfer Problem · · Score: 1

    Many recent computers have a build in IR receiver. You can build an IR emitter for the old computer (the schematic here may be helpful http://www.lirc.org/parallel.h...). I guess it would be very slow :-

  8. Re:But on Microsoft Ends Mainstream Support For Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Incredible, I have found another one who likes gnome 3. I have left windows to only use ubuntu since many years, but when they changed the desktop I tried mint. I do not like it very much. Then my wife got a laptop with win8. It was terrible. She asked for unix like the main house computer. I installed ubuntu configured with a cynamon desktop.
    2 years ago, I bought a computer for my (very old) father. I installed it with ubuntu gnome. I reinstalled my main computer a month ago (mint was outdated and advised a full reinstall). I chose again ubuntu gnome.
    I am very happy with gnome 3.

  9. I have never a spam in my gmail box on Ask Slashdot: Why Can't Google Block Spam In Gmail? · · Score: 1

    I have real false positive about once a year. I think gmail filters try to differentiate spam from your legit mails. If your usual legit mails looks like spam, it has more difficulties to identify spam ;-)

  10. Re:I'll pass... on Interviews: Ask Florian Mueller About Software Patents and Copyrights · · Score: 1

    My son is not named Florian because of him: I did not want my son to have the same name as this disgusting guy. All the media were repeating his stupid "analysis" on oracle vs google case. In the end, he was completely wrong on every points. I do not understand how people can give him any credibility. Is it possible on slashdot to blacklist any article that contain his name ?

    I think solar is the energy of the future and that hydrogen may be a good storage for car. But solar efficiency needs to be improved at least ten fold before is can compete with nuclear.

    I fully a agree. My main computer in on linux since many years. It is used as a normal desktop: browser, mail, office, scanner, printer and sometimes for development. I would like to be able to customize my development environment as if it was an independant virtual machine, but with the full power of my computer.

  18. Re:No, because they are not compatible on Should Nuclear and Renewable Energy Supporters Stop Fighting? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Nuclear is inflexible. I think nuclear plant should produce hydrogen during low load period and that cars should run on hydrogen. In Germany, they have stopped using nuclear, the result is more pollution caused by coal. Il think nuclear is the less bad solution until solar solutions are developed.

  19. Suicide on Oracle Broadens Legal Fight Against Third-party Solaris Support Providers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It looks as if oracle is doing its best to make developers hate them. The problem is that developers of today often become decision makers of tomorrow. Oracle misbehaved about mysql, about java (very bad handling of security issues), about opensource software (open office, open solaris and java) and now even about solaris. I do not know if there are really short term benefits, but I think it is a long term suicide.

  24. Re:they've had this place since what 2010? on Toyota Announces Plans For Fuel Cell Car By 2015 · · Score: 2

    Electrolysis is not the more efficient, but hydrogen production by electrolysis is probably the more effective way to store electricity.

    Nuclear plants have often excedents of electricity that they burn in resistors in order to avoid overloading the grid. If they could generate hydrogen instead of wasting energy, their efficiency would improve. IMHO nuclear remains the cleaner energy (less harm to our planet) and the safer (http://nextbigfuture.com/2008/03/deaths-per-twh-for-all-energy-sources.html). I think that nuclear and hydrogen should have a good synergy.
