If you do not like unity, you can just use ubuntu-gnome like me. IMHO, Unity is horrible, but you have the choice to not use it. There is no need to complain.

Hello, I will try to use it very soon (next week). I need to tag embroideries for my wife. Your system covers most of my needs. How difficult would it be to have some groups of tags (for example, a bird tag would implicitely imply a animal

The movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thirteenth_Floor gives IMHO an interesting insight on the subject.

For me, there is a crime. Even if it is in good faith, TSA took the MacBook, then lost it. It is the same as if they broke it by accident. If they can not recover it quickly, they should reimburse it because what happened is their full resp

TSA is not a very important issue, but politicians love to discuss about this kind of issues where they can show their talent without hurting their sponsors. It is a good way to distract public from the more important issues (economy, unemp

Linus wanted to compile the kernel in C++ in 1993, but there were bugs in the compiler and performance issues (related to exceptions if I remember well). He has switched back to C in 0.99.13: https://github.com/kernelslacker

roads are also expensive and trucks (combined with weather) destroy them very fast. Hyperloop cylinder should be far cheaper than trucks in the long run. I think hyperloop would be useful for amazon to reduce delivery delays.

My boss performs code reviews before my work is delivered. In my case it is mostly in a positive way: - he wants to know how stuff is implemented because he may need to maintain it if I am on leave. - it is a motivation for me to produce go

To make my opinion clear: current situation is a mess, a future with EME would be a hell.

Currently, watching a DRM protected video requires flash and gives an inferior experience than watching a non DRM protected video. Most of the non protected video can be easily downloaded using youtube-dl. Recently, I wanted to watch a movi

I think the sentence "But it would pass the virus on to other devices that plugged into the charger." comes from the reporter, showing that he does not understand computers. It is plausible that malwares were copied without being

We can see physical or psychological torture used effectively in many TV series. I have read that in real life, torture was very ineffective to make people tell something they want to hide. Generally people die without speaking or do not kn

Instead of battery, you could turn the key inside a mechanism that would produce the energy needed to open the lock ;-)

Lack of sun causes more people to be depressive. Non depressive people are happier during late spring and early summer. Seeing other people happy increases the tendency to suicide in depressive people.

Google wants to feed their AI with all the humanity knowledge. Providing a service to users is just a byproduct of their quest for the singularity ;-)

I think, this is one part of the terror: they show how they can hurt while using inefficient techniques (craft knives for the 9/11).

I have used it in 1992 on Sun stations. It was a delight. I am pretty sure it would gain a lot of attraction if they open sourced it.

The legality of recording a video stream you can watch on your PC is very dependent of your country. I think it should be legal as long as you keep your recording for your personal usage.

At home, I am using ubuntu since 2009. The first year, I have dual-booted a lot. Progressively, I have stopped. The last time I have booted in Windows was december 2014 to check if it was still working. If a desktop app does not work with w

Google is doing research in AI to reach the singularity. I think robotic is very important for Google, but reassuring people is more important. Google does not want to be associated with something frightening like "terminator".
