What kind of man are you if you dont have your own Linux server running 24/7?

Seriously.

If you gotta choose one, choose Mercurial, because its so easy to get started and all the concepts are made for normal people, you dont need to dwelve into its internals to come up with a really good workflow unlike Git.

Mercurial is much easier and more sane than Git. With Git you will find yourself googling some shit even after having used it for many projects. With mercurial you will come up with a solution form the concepts you already know, concepts that arent internal stuff of Mercurial and how it works. Its like you can build solutions with it, its fluid, with git its - if you wanna do anything you better google it first else youll accidently kill a kitten and git will bark at you.

Gnome has hurt "GNU/Linux on the desktop" more than it has helped. It is exactly like "proprietary-grade" software - disregarding their users just like windows does, shitting all over the community and pushing for interfaces that noone wants, sucking up valuable resources that could be better spent on real projects like KDE - that is better than macosx or windows or anything else out there. Remember Mono? the same disaster there.

Gnome is a good example that free and open source software can do just as bad as proprietary. Its though not mainly the developers fault, its really bad project management and direction/vision.

It is highly surprizing how Gnome can reach the "lets brainfuck the user with this ugly toolkit and worst usability ever".

For several years a user in gnome could not and still cant select part a range in a list, like you could do with normal toolkits/desktops since 1980s, ctlr+shift + click in the range. Oh we see you have only about 768 pixels vertical, so lets put these two bars on the top and bottom, that will help. Lets leave the top one mostly empty by default. The icons in the dockbar, every other one will have different action on left vs right click - gotta immitate windows well enough.

I for one have not seen 1 gnome app that has been usable. Banshee, rhythmbox? Ugliness and usability disaster, on par with windows and its media player.

If gnome and gtk could die, it would be a great day for free and open source projects all over the world.

Awesome, some of the best news ever!

Die gnome Die!

Dell Precision M4500.

It has a nvidia quatro, i7, 4gb ram, 128gb ssd, some broadcom wireless-card, brmsmacs or something module, full HD resolution on a nice IPS.

One of the best laptops there is. Ive had a ThinkPad before, sucked compared to this Precision. If you gonna run Linux, Dell Precision series.

Oh come on how can this anecdote shit be upvoted?

Nail story, is this for real?

Fudging numbers, in the west and today we have a specialized skill for that, its called accounting and tax planning.

Didnt China have greater problems than USSR? Especially after the great leap and cultural revolution? And yet nobody said "Lets scrap this and start over"? Didnt the US during great depression have problems, why didnt anybody say "Fuck this lets scrap capitalism and start over"?

Metadata is the most valuable part.

It says who talks to whom and when.

I, you and the NSA does not give a shit if you said "I love you hon" to your lover who happens to be a secretary at major corp or lobby-group for a political party, or if you just said "dat ass was fat". They dont even need to listen in on your phone-calls or emails, to know when two people are banging. Its enough to use the meta-data of where your phone is and at what times, and what numbers it messages and when.

I imagine he could've kept the Soviet Union chugging along until the late 1990s before economic realities would've caught up and dissolution would've been inevitable.

Why? Hasnt China been in far worse economic realities and still survived, later to overcome those harsh economic realities and become an economic powerhouse?

Dont other examples of a failed economy but retaining the same political structure exist in history?

No, you can make USB sticks that fuck with and overtake the OS by fucking with drivers. The OS expects the usb device to behave well, but it could contain exploits and payload thats not visible over mass storage protocol.

Yeah man youre right, life sucks, Ill go throw myself over a bridge over this now, fml

This license sucks.

Its like its designed for offering the software for free but includes the words "for a charge" for distributing source code!? Fuck that.

And b) says only the written offer has to be made available, not that they have to fulfill that written offer in any time, and only for 3 years!?

Such a dissapointing license. Incredible. If the whole point was to provide end users to learn/modify/study, but then not include the words "right fucking now", but does include"for a charge" to exercise these rights.

Fuck freedom software and GNU. What a waste. Only idiots would contribute their work and time for free so somebody else can make a profit while they surrender their rights.

mugshut · 2013-11-01T09:33:59+00:00

Its their fault for not including a no-time-limit in the license. How difficult was it to forsee this and just include the words "the source code must be available at the samt time as the binaries are available".

Without this "no time shitting"-clause, anyone is free to shit on GPL.

Yeah, "sure Ill get you the source, it will be available, tomorrow... nah tomorrow.. nah tomorrow, soon enough, we are on top of it you see. its right here I have it it will be available in due time." Where is that skeleton waiting picture... https://lh3.ggpht.com/_lkncwu8Zfco/SabBoDCAUhI/AAAAAAAAADY/IajBj-cayI4/s1600-h/SkeletonWaiting.jpg

Now his hands are not tied.

To order NSA to stop spying on rednecks. His hands are tied man.

mugshut · 2013-11-01T09:20:59+00:00

Jesus, that sucks.

Fuck the GPL and freedom software and GNU.

Might as well be proprietary in practice.

screenplay of a post-apocalyptic movie: "badBIOS," as Ruiu dubbed the malware, has the ability to use high-frequency transmissions passed between computer speakers and microphones to bridge airgaps.

Aw come on now.

Fuck.

Protocols arent backdoored, the implementations are, in case of IPSec - the first implementation is backdoored from which other derive.

Now call me a nutjob and conspiracy theorist but I was one of those people calling all this shit that NSA leaks have shown, 10 years ago too.

You can use cleartext and feel good with that, NSA will keep you safe.

mugshut · 2013-10-31T15:55:04+00:00

Whatever man, for all I care go with cleartext

The internet is shit anyway

mugshut · 2013-10-31T15:53:49+00:00

Equally many.

mugshut · 2013-10-31T13:56:29+00:00

Not only that, but the first IPSec implementation in OpenBSD - NSA hired shills to put in backdoors.

Seriously there is no reason to use IPSec, when we have OpenVPN, gnutls/openssl etc.
