I noticed that too. It's maybe because both are some pretty big advances that are happening somewhat simultaneously? I seriously doubt this whole thing will actually happen. The plan was made by one of the governing parties but the oth

I'd like to take that one step further! Strings as a service (SaaS, a nice and unique acronym). You can post strings on the internet publicly and refer to them by Id, and... no, that's Twitter.

Isn't a password also a form of identification? The idea is that only _you_ know what to type, much the same as only you have those fingerprints (otherwise it'd be pointless). I think maybe we shouldn't look at it as much in

Oh wow, I didn't expect that from Slackware... I hadn't noticed that the message is gone, I guess. I can't help but to think it is kind of rude to keep using xscreensaver but not honor the request of its author. It's pur

Thank you for the link! :) I've recently gotten a MIDI controller to finally take some first steps into electronic music (I'm used to playing "regualr" keyboard) and this is what I was looking for!

Slackware's official packages are compressed with XZ, and it's been that way for a while, too. :)

Anything you want from a GNU/Linux-based operating system. Slackware is a great base operating system and its simplicity is its strength. For me it was very easy to get familiar with and feel at home in. One thing that it has over prob

Ahh you beat me to it (it being praising Eric Hameleers) :P Slackware is a better operating system thanks to Eric. Native Steam, multilib, leave it to Eric to make these things simple for others to use. I owe the man more beers than I can a

The way it works for me is, people can make a mistake, that's something we just have to accept. But whether I get negative about it or positive, depends on how the mistake is handled. Tesla gets one warning, two weeks later they announ

Does it run on Windows? If so, could you try to boot some kind of Linux distro from USB, to see if it's similarly bad? I'm very suspicious of the driver because my T530, which has by a huge margin the most atrociously (physically)

I also found myself agreeing with a lot of what he said, but at the same time, I can't imagine coming to the conclusion that the only way out is to drop not one but two atomic bombs on cities. It's easy to say "but if we hadn

I don't know if you're willing to consider it evidence, but I think Apple's success is in large part due to their software and their UI's. iOs in particular. Also, user interfaces might be closer to fashion than you woul

But Marijuana is a gateway-drug. ;) So perhaps legalizing it and letting that situation become the new normal will open the door to people taking another look at the rest of drugs and how to properly deal with the problems they can cause.

I read this guide, used it only a few years back when I wanted to learn more about network programming. It's a very well written guide. Certainly a great way to learn about network programming!

My distro of choice is Slackware. It is designed to be vanilla and it's pretty tinker-friendly if you want to tinker. It's made in such a way that it makes me feel at home, which is always nice about an operating system. Xfce is m

Cabbage? How about a lot of praise instead? Because that's what I'd throw at you guys for doing what you're doing with .NET. I'm a .NET programmer by day, and Linux-fan (and user) by night, and I honestly can't wait

Unfortunately, that's telling your div to start halfway. Following your suggestion leaves me with an element with its top left corner in the exact center of the containing div. I'm not a fan of CSS due to issues like this. It fall

At one point, the post-crash session restore on Firefox actually single handedly made me move to Chrome. Another reason was the fact that I needed to kill its process because the UI became unresponsive. Chrome was fresh and snappy, not a fa

I'm not a lawyer and I'm going to appear to play the devil's advocate here, but bear with me and let's say it's not illegal for an agreement to contain such a clause. If it breaks no laws, then why is it illegal? As
