As far as I know, and according to noam Chomsky, the NYT is good journalism defined the "American" way, for it always paints the US as "the great, always correct" freedom fighters. Where was the NYT coverage when: The US

I agree, Xonotic is a great game and a lot of fun. Also it is highly competitive. It is also a blast at most lan parties where it's been played. Only thing Xonotic really lacks are active players - typical chicken and egg problem. Alt

You can try MS office. If you dont want to buy/install it you can just use the in browser version. All you need is a MS account and you can also export the files as pdf..

Well, some people think of skydrive as superior to DB (myself included). E.g. if you are a student and bought MS Office, you get 20gb skydrive storage for free. Also your normal free storage is at 7gb. And it's conveniently tyed into outloo

Well, while it makes a brute-force attack somewhat easier, it is still certainly not easy. While I haven't tried it, I suppose Facebook has some strong brute-force prevention methods (rate limiting, for instance, captchas etc). Most Faceboo

It might have something to do with my PC (i7 x220) but I cannot stand the Firefox viewer for anything but plain text. I find it very lacking in terms of performance compared to a native pdf viewer. Everytime a somewhat complex pdf opens up

i am not sure if that is possible actually, since the kindle's browser's connection is routed through amazon's servers to optimise the webpage for the kindle and to compress it. therefore it might not be possible to access local pages on it

I am really surprised that no one mentioned the lack of OneNote, yet. Although it might not actually apply to libreoffice, if their ultimate goal is to replace ms office though then some really really good OneNote alternative has to be deve

in japan, it is even more prevalent to some extend than in germany. e.g., amazon will ship to any convenience store for you to pick your parcel up. raktuen etc. as well! and there are way, way more convenience stores in japan than anything

I wish I could go, most likely going to be great! I'd recommend anyone to go, if possible. Knowing from the Tokyo Events, it's a great gathering :)!

Even worse is, that in their kickstarter video they even say that the "old way" of increasing processor frequency does not work anymore and we therefore have to scale the amount of cores. It does not make any sense at all for them to add th

Well, if you are on a FAT32 file system (e.g. often used for SD cards, USB Keys etc.), then you cannot store files which exceed 4gb in size if IIRC. Please correct me if I am wrong!

Worse than the battery life implications are the security implications. I do not ever want to connect to some random, sniffed wifi network and have automatically all my data pulled to my notebook. However, as you will most certainly be able

He was referring to the inflation rate. What he was saying was (as far as I understood it), if you safe e.g. $10k now, in e.g. 10years you could not buy as much with it as you could at the time you earned the money. Therefore, you "lose" mo

The EU does certainly not place restrains on vendors which DOUBLE their costs. Is Windows twice as expensive? Are apps on any appstore twice as expensive? This is just Adobe trying to rake more cash in. They are betting that companies are

The problem which might arise is also, that being locked out of your email account will most likely result in being locked out of any "recover password" functions anywhere on the web. Thus, you need a backup of your email and preferably a w

The problem is, that it prevents you from resetting passwords, too. Which could very well lock you out of your own accounts.

You do not have to give GMail up, not sure where you read that... The point was, that exclusively relying on it is not smart, if email is important to you. You can easily use the full benefits of your gmail convenience while still having a
