  1. Re:What places allow unlockable bootloaders now? on Huawei Will No Longer Allow Bootloader Unlocking On Its Android Handsets (androidauthority.com) · · Score: 2

    Just check this site. Anything that allows lineageos installed should be unlockable and acceptable to buy.

    The best manufacturers in this regards are LG, Motorola and Samsung.

  2. Northern hemisphere naming on Microsoft Readies Windows 10 April Update With New Features and Enhancements (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm glad they're deviating away from northern hemisphere naming. It's autumn here in Australia.

  3. No need to post an article about this on Microsoft Stops Pushing Notifications To Windows 7 and 8 Phones (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    It would be much easier just to send both users an email.

  4. Re:why no RHEL? on Best Linux Distribution (linuxjournal.com) · · Score: 1

    I would think that those that wanted to vote for RHEL voted for CentOS. But it does look like a free linux poll. It also has openSUSE but no SUSE.

  5. Netflix and google play music on Ask Slashdot: Your Favorite Subscription Services? · · Score: 1

    Netflix and google play music. I'm in Australia. Netflix is good value for money. Now that they allow you to download for offline viewing on Android, I've been watching more netflix stuff. The top tier netflix subscription allows 4 concurrent users to stream so I'm sharing my login with family members. Google play music is good value also. It allows a family library and I'm sharing the subscription with 5 family members. It's like spotify but also with youtube red. It's not as good as spotify though.

  6. The maximum resolution was 1024x768. Non widescreen.

    Dvorak also reduces RSI or OOS.

  9. Re:Then on Asia Runs Out of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    I hate in the Twilight saga movie, Jacob Black says "I could care less what you think" instead of "I couldn't care less what you think" It's so lame for that to happen in a big blockbuster movie.

  10. Re:Works well, but significantly higher requiremen on Debian 6.0 Released In GNU/Linux, FreeBSD Flavors · · Score: 1

    Have you tried installing with LXDE as the desktop environment? That's much more lightweight than KDE or Gnome. I'm not sure of how significant the disk space saving is though.

  11. Re:Wing? on The World's Fastest Lawnmower · · Score: 1

    They have a sarcastic sense of humour :)

  12. This article confirms that it's dead on Australia's National Broadband Network To Go Ahead · · Score: 1

    This article just came out. It definitely looks dead. Thank goodness. I must admit, I'm rather enjoying good ol' Stephen Conroy trying in vain to introduce the filter!

  13. One reason why I've burnt this on a DVD on OpenSUSE 11.3 Is Here · · Score: 1

    Is that is comes with LXDE as one of the desktop environment options. My system is taking 90mb of ram with nothing running while using LXDE. Also it comes with the virtualbox drivers and kernel modules. I can enable seamless mode in virtualbox without installing the guest additions.

    I much prefer the Astley as a unit of measurement.

    Maybe he should've used the Euclidean algorithm to find the highest common factor first.

  19. To all those who think pi may have a pattern on Pi Calculated To Record 2.5 Trillion Digits · · Score: 1

    Sorry to burst your bubbles but pi is an irrational number so it's impossible for it to have a pattern.

  20. Re:Remember this one? on Emacs Hits Version 23 · · Score: 1

    Could you please post the long version? I'm looking for a cure for my insomnia.

  21. Re:I don't know what to make of this on Ballmer "Interested" In Open Source Browser Engine · · Score: 1

    The IE engine is called Trident and the Opera engine is called Presto. List of layout engines

  22. I'll save you the trouble of counting on Rubik's Cube Proof Cut To 25 Moves · · Score: 2, Funny

    He or she did suggest 25 moves, no more, no less. I counted them myself so that you don't have to.

  23. Lesser of two evils on Microsoft Confirms IE8 Has 3 Render Modes · · Score: 1

    What Microsoft is doing here is allowing a way for web developers to transfer smoothly to standards compliance without breaking a lot of web sites instantly with a browser upgrade. Let's say a web developer did what we all want them to do and create a site that is standards compliant. In IE6, 7 or 8 that site may break. This is not an option for most web sites. Instead they'll resort to non-standard code or (even better) use simple code. It'll be that way until IE8 gains a lot of marketshare. All of a sudden, one day web developers can instantly create a standards compliant site and add that tag in and it'll still work on most browsers just fine. Maybe one day Microsoft will have standards mode set by default (I'm talking about 15 years from now or something) and sites won't even have to put in that tag. I'm happy with what Microsoft did here. It's the lesser of two evils but still not ideal. I would have preferred that they put standards by default.

  24. ACID test on IE 8 Passes Acid2 Test · · Score: 1

    Now I know what they mean by ACID test. Reading that Microsoft's IE passes the test makes me feel I've tested positive for ACID!

  25. Re:Fuck document formats. XHTML and SVG work fine. on New York Decision On ODF Vs. OOXML Approaching · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ask yourself this question: "Which format would be acceptable by a book publisher?" Books have table of contents, footnotes and indexes. Depending on the typeface size and page width, the footnotes can vary on which page they're on the bottom of. The file formats you mentioned doesn't accommodate this requirement. But you make a good point, those formats should be used more often.
