Since the Ubuntu/Unity/Gnome3 disaster happened I switched to XUbuntu and I have been extremely happy with it. Xfce with XUbuntu is very much like the olden days of Ubuntu/Gnome2. The only real issue with XUbuntu is the lack

There isn't a "single" thing that gave rise to ISIS, it's a complex amalgamation of a lot of different things that led to this mess. This is a documentary that only scratches the surface of this complex history but it&#x

It's sad to see that Star Trek is being turned into an Action/Adventure themed franchise (also just seeing the 2015 trailer of the new movie as well). It doesn't suit Star Trek which should be more about Science and Explorati

It almost seems like the most practical solution at this point in time. Even though "green" energy has come a long way over the past few decades, it's not going to power the industries that cater to our comfy lives. There are

It still baffles me that, as a Linode customer, I'm not actually receiving an email in regards to things like this.

I thought that was capitalism and I thought we all agreed that that was good. To be fair, it's his money. It's not that he bought a lottery ticket and won the jackpot. He build a company and made loads of money. It's up to hi

That just sounds very naive. In theory you're right, but in theory Karl Marx's communism sounds pretty good as well. They way you describe it is not how it works in the real world, unfortunately.

I think when people use the "User for X" they refer to the disruption Uber has caused to an industry, not so much the service of Uber itself.

In that scenario, it should be doable from Twitter not to have new accounts to have the ability to @ at some other account for the first 24 hours after creation or something and maybe after 24 hours to be able to @ at someone the new accoun

It will be interesting to see what Rdio users will be doing, sign up for Pandora or jump ship to Spotify. As an Rdio user myself I'm sad that Rdio will be going away. I hope Pandora will keep it alive but who knows. I wanted to try out

I understand the technical mumbo jumbo, my question is; what problem does this solve?

by pan69 11y ago
Sorry, maybe my previous comment wasn't very clear, let me try again; I don't understand what problem this project solves and whom it solves it for. We can already manage multi-site WordPress installations and usually that's

OK. So basically this is an Adobe Air-esque app that is a user interface to WordPress which at the moment only works on Mac. I'm sorry but I don't really understand what the value proposition here is, maybe I missed it in the arti

Attention people! We found the problem! Apparently the Muslims did a big land grab about 1500 years ago or so (just like the Romans did before them) and that's, apparently, where it all started. Turns out it has nothing to do with the

You mean those middle ages where a bunch of Christians went over to the middle east to kill a bunch of Muslims? You mean those middle ages?

Radical Islam has become a global jihad movement and it was created by the west interfering in the middle east.

He's saying the west should stop interfering in the middle east, with which I whole heartily agree.

Ten years ago some eye specialist wanted to operate on my cataract. Apparently there could be complications but according to him "it would be worth the risk". Sounded like a fun project for him. I passed. I'm pretty much used

This sounds promising. I was born with a cataract in my right eye. I'm in my early forties now and technically, for all intends and purposes, you could say I'm blind in my right eye (kinda depends on the light intensity). Unfortun

I can relate to the open office space fiasco. I have spend many years working in them. However, it isn't always an easy problem to solve for companies either, office space can be quite expensive and to give every developer (let alone e

Isn't that what current WHOIS privacy is? The way I understand it is that if you currently have WHOIS privacy enabled, technically the domain doesn't belong to you but to the registrar who is providing the WHOIS privacy.
