  1. Buy a tablet... on Ask Slashdot: What Can I Really Do With a Smart Watch? · · Score: 0

    Buy a tablet... and fix it in the wall.

  2. Re:Mint Debian on Unity 8 Will Bring 'Pure' Linux Experience To Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    Google Groups is a good indicator about distros popularity too.

  3. Sheldon, is you? on Why Pluto Still Matters · · Score: 1
  4. Re:almost useless on Windows 10 Gets a Package Manager For the Command Line · · Score: 2

    Yeap, I've already done some packages, and it's pretty plan: a compressed file with a file for description/depencencies and paths to install. I got more trouble when tried to create an installer for Windows, because I have to rely on install creators.

  5. Control Panel as Advanced entry on The Classic Control Panel In Windows May Be Gone · · Score: 1

    Keep PC Settings as default one, and add on it an "Advanced" entry, which will raise Control Panel.

  6. Re:Catching up with Fedora on Microsoft Announces Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    Can I run a "ls" on it? :P

  7. How about Wayland? on Fedora 21 Alpha Released · · Score: 2

    Some already test it?

  8. Don't like Netflix? on Native Netflix Support Is Coming To Linux · · Score: 1

    Try Crackle, and then Netflix will appear awesome!

  9. Re: Finally! on Native Netflix Support Is Coming To Linux · · Score: 1

    And the discussion is to add the package to 14.04, so soon, it'll come as an automatic update.

  10. Ruby and string/symbols on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Strangest Features of Various Programming Languages? · · Score: 2

    I started with Ruby about 1 year ago. And until now, work with strings and the symbols is not natural yet to me. I mean, most of the languages I handled until now have only strings.

  11. Re:Last Gasp of a Dying Man on NVIDIA Sues Qualcomm and Samsung Seeking To Ban Import of Samsung Phones · · Score: 1

    Yeap, you didn't realize this story is related to mobile, not desktop.

  12. Re: What's wrong with Windows Server? on You Got Your Windows In My Linux · · Score: 1

    Oh, come on... several IE bugs allow remote access on the machine. I'm not saying that Heartbleed is not that bad, just saying your comparison is bad.

  13. Re:Developers prefer Ubuntu? on How Red Hat Can Recapture Developer Interest · · Score: 1

    Yeap, developers prefer Ubuntu. The LTS version (stable with 5 years support). For Ruby, PHP, Python and Java is really a nice choice.

  14. Re:What battle? (2010 wants its article back?) on Choose Your Side On the Linux Divide · · Score: 1

    But you know it'll use it as default in future releases. It's not the default now.

  15. Oh no on Your Phone Can Be Snooped On Using Its Gyroscope · · Score: 1

    Another summary posted by trainee.

  16. Switch back? Nope... on Munich Reverses Course, May Ditch Linux For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Now they hope to get back to XP. And they'll face Win8. Sure, the support center will be "free" now.

  17. Hope someone big in open source buy the company on Digia Spinning Off Qt Division Into New Company · · Score: 1

    I usually heard how nice is to develop using Qt. How it's easy, community friendly, last surprise, etc. But I never saw the big guys interest in the Qt owner.

    Just wondering if a better future would be in the landscape if some big company with good open source compromise (in theory) like Intel buy Qt.

  18. Re:Still a hurtle on Open Source Pioneer Michael Tiemann On Open Source Business Success · · Score: 1

    But your managers already heard of someone that filled a bug in any MS product and get it fixed? But a real case with link to it, not the urban legend "I have a friend that found a bug on IIS and MS fixed it. Who will fix a bug on Apache?".

    And, in the other side, your company can, for sure, make contracts with big Open Source guys, like Red Hat and Canonical.

  19. Re:What's there to compare? on Comparison: Linux Text Editors · · Score: 1

    Kate is closest to Notepad++, really awesome and configurable.

  20. Re:android games on Google+ Photos To Be Separated From Google+ · · Score: 4, Informative

    The tech communities are really good. You can stay in touch with some tech leaders, discuss about some nich stuff (like your favorite Linux distro, Astronomy), etc. To me, Facebook = family and friend network. G+ = tech network.

  21. WiiU is nothing like Wii on Nintendo Posts Yet Another Loss, Despite Mario Kart 8 · · Score: 1

    Wii had an easy controller, easy appealing games, like Wii Sports and Wii Fit. With WiiU, they said they gone hardcore. But the hardcores don't want Nintendo products. So, I'm a casual gamer. I loved Wii. My wife loved. My tiny kids loved, because it was easy. Now, with WiiU, they offer a bad tablet experience, that requires recharge all the time. No easy controller, no wide appealing games. Wii Sports, Wii Fit, all the best selling games for all the times. Nintendo is the only company over the world, that produced a big hit in the market (and their best selling product), and denied it totally later.

  22. Solution: on Why My LG Optimus Cellphone Is Worse Than It's Supposed To Be · · Score: 1

    Moto G on them!

  23. For that reason... on Critical Vulnerabilities In Web-Based Password Managers Found · · Score: 5, Funny

    To avoid remember all the password managers, we need a password manager manager.

  24. Python + QT... on Python Bumps Off Java As Top Learning Language · · Score: 1

    I'm seen a lot of new and good programs written on Python + Qt, as the way to achieve multplatforming.

  25. Re:So what? on First Phone Out of Microsoft-Nokia -- and It's an Android · · Score: 0

    Basically, you cited all the problems that MS Windows suffers on the desktop, due being the popular choice.
