I use FreeCAD for my 3D printing designs. It works great on Windows and Ubuntu (not so great on Mac), but for designing enclosures for electronics projects and printing them, it has met my needs. I think it takes longer to learn than Auto

I didn't bother with adblockers until they started auto-playing videos with audio. Now I must block them. There are many circumstances when it is not appropriate for my computer to start blaring audio and I have to search where it is

I did know that oysters are high in zinc. Interesting that zinc and copper are antagonists. Another great reason to eat more!

They thought they were going to be able to do the quick cost cut and then buy another company, in this case Nortel, and then flip it is an IPO. They actually made a mess of the company, then 2008 happened and then made a bigger mess with t

SipXecs is really great. Nortel actually bought PingTel and called it SCS (terrible name). For a moment it looked like there was some hope that the industry was going to see the light, but after the acquisition Avaya promptly killed it off

First, Avaya does run on common x86 servers as well as virtualized and has for many years. Linux and Xen if fact. Many implementations of freeswitch/asterisk fell apart as they simply don't scale to thousands of users. Yes, I kn

Try using it. It doesn't have the same modules as Ubuntu, so the answer is to load from a separate source. Even then, Kodi Remote wouldn't work (SELinux?), no visualizations, sound subsystem issues and I was done. I have bettter

I liked the Fedora Interface, but it lacks several packages that I use (Kodi comes to mind, but there were others) SE Linux is always reporting security issues and makes enabling any networking feature a royal pain. Worse, when something do

Tell that to my employer! Sometimes we don't get to choose our OS, but my personal PC is running Ubuntu. This script is a treasure trove of commands that just killed off over a dozen annoying and undesirable Windows behaviours that I

I didn't say there is anything wrong with artificial colour. The question was about what is processed food which almost always has artificial flavour and colour. Just a correlation.

A simple answer is anything with the fibre removed, such as white flour & rice, and with artificial flavours and colours. No risk in eliminating these from your diet...

Yeah, that reminded me to clear my cookies again. Of course Facebook is there again. Even if they are somehow still building their dossier on me, at least I am not wasting my life on a site built for, I quote "Dumb F*ucks" - Zuc

True, but I deleted my account 2 years ago, so at least they have a lot less info during that time. Also, I don't miss it at all, not even a little bit. I think it offers no value for my time, let alone data. I am not sure why I am

It is easy to blame individuals, but let's face facts, everyone is busy dealing with their own issues no matter how poor or rich. Further, wealthy people aren't going to start shopping at second hand stores any sooner than the im

MacOS lost me somewhere around Mavericks and the idea of a tablet that is also my PC was appealing, so I tried a Surface Pro 3 and decided to keep it. Ubuntu Bash for Windows is great, but is Beta and still needs some work. As for my old

This utter failure of foreign policy is such an embarrassment for the US. Even against a small island country that they partially occupy, the US couldn't cause a regime change. Everyone can spend all day debating if Fidel's army

I think this is about infrastructure and pipe, not content. Carriers should already know that content isn't going to solve their problems, but they should be forced to divest it by regulators as part of their approval. To compete in t

Another conclusion, if more people were willing to walk up longer than average escalators, there would be less congestion at peak hours.

Yes and an all nighter to follow! Watched a couple of seasons of Six Feet Under with a buddy of mine years ago, it was fantastic. No amount of time spent with friends is "really unproductive", it literally keeps us alive. I didn

Rather they "beat" the independence out of children intentionally as the trait does make them a nuisance. It is much easier to have a room full of trained animals.

Quod Libet is cross platform and runs on my Ubuntu box, Windows Surface and MacBook Pro. It is fast, has a simple interface that actually works and has been extremely stable. It also manages playlists that work in my car's USB port.

From my understanding of what he said, he thinks that distributed social media would mean that the hosting would happen from our mobile devices as a P2P network. So yeah, he did completely miss something, that would be a terrible architect

This sounds great if you are VISA or MasterCard charging a fee for every transaction. The problem with cash is that it is too hard to get 100 and 50 dollar bills. This man clearly doesn't get out. Going for dinner for 80 dollars mean

As we reach a point where the science fiction genre can be merged with fiction, I would just like to point out my appreciation for the many authors that spent the time to open the cans of worms and tell stories of their implications. This
