However, the truest part of the article for me was "In the meantime, HDCP continues to bother only a single group of people: those who buy stuff legally." AMEN. HDCP is the reason I can't use my large computer monitor to play my PS3 while

Regarding an OS being intuitive...my wife is typically the ultimate test. She's not a power user...she just wants to surf the web, process photos, and email. She also has very low tolerance for UX deficiencies. I've had Windows 7, Ubuntu wi

I love it. Is there an Android version in the works? My biggest problem with names would likely not be solved with this, although it might help me become more disciplined. My problem is that I'm always so wrapped up with sizing someone up a

Too bad they don't support Linux as a client. Wonder if they're using VNC?

The docs, included in the download, contain install instructions. Pretty easy and quick to install.

Wait a second...is he correct on the AGPL? We have a legacy application which runs on linux...I'd be very interested in exposing it to our internal business users through something like this, but not if I had to give the source away. Howeve

Yes, it works fine with two (I use Nvidia's twinview for that). It's when you hit three that there's a problem.

I can't go back to Unity until it supports three monitors (with Xinerama). I know compiz won't support this, but even Unity2d doesn't work well at the moment, and 11.10 broke basic functionality in Gnome Classic. I switched to KDE a few wee

I don't disagree with you. I'm simply saying that's what I'm looking for. Same language on the server and client...better libraries...better tools. If Google gets there with Dart, great! If javascript gets there, great! I'm not as hung up o

I'm really surprised to see all the hate here. It's early yet guys...give them time to hone it a bit. I'm perfectly willing to live with the Java-like syntax and feel, so long as: - I can write in the same language on both the client and se

This. I haven't had to troubleshoot a hardware problem in years, and I use Linux daily and install it quite often (I touch a lot of hardware). Don't subtly degrade something with FUD unless you speak from recent experience.

I'd be lying if I said I was a big Apple fan. I'm a Linux guy and never saw a need or benefit to pay the premium required for entry through the Apple gates (well, ok, I bought a Macbook for iPhone development, but I didn't enjoy it). That s

Well, that and the sorta crazy window behavior. I think Unity is more intuitive than OS X regarding window management except for one "feature"...when you have multiple windows of the same application and then click the Launcher to restore o

I really like Unity, but neither it nor Compiz play well with Xinerama (at least on 11.04). So while I was using Twinview with two monitors, Unity was great. However, as soon as I switched to three monitors across two vid cards, I had to dr

When you start up a new Pycharm project or add a new interpreter, you have to let the index processes run (there's an indicator in the lower toolbar which will tell you when background processes are running...click it). When those index pro

Not everyone... ;-) Linux on the desktop since 97. I've tried Windows, OS X, and nothing can replace the productivity I get from Linux. Slashdot will always be home to me. I haven't visited my real home town in over a decade, and sadly, /.

I'm extremely disappointed. I for one can't stand reading on a screen for long, especially where I typically read magazines (I'll give you a hint...I visit perhaps once or twice a day ;-) I also subscribe to Linux Pro Magazine ( http://linu

When did HN become a design review site? I understand giving helpful pointers to a startup, but Wagn isn't a startup...it's a free utility. Don't dismiss it because of the look. It's a pretty powerful system once you get your head around it

I'd love to see someone put together a guide to Node and the current javascript world for the Rails developer. I've looked at Node a few times, but it's so much lower-level than Rails...I'd think it would be more valid to compare it to Rack

You probably will, if you're anything like me. However, at the end of the day, I find the "require" statement in ruby to be the truly most irritating feature. You simply don't get much control over what is slurped into your code. Python's i
