Re: Nvidia Releases 319.23 Driver, Neglects Major HDMI Regression

Eisa わ — Sat, 15 Jun 2013 22:06:29 -0000

Also, another fact, that kernel 3.10 has been out for quite some time and Nvidia still hasn't fixed the 'proc' arugment error.

Re: Slay Odin With The Mighty Heimdall

William — Sat, 15 Jun 2013 18:54:21 -0000

I can't seem to load the stock SAMSUNG ROM on my S3 with Odin ("dev-type unsupport" error) so was trying to use Heimdall. I can guess how to map most of the files in the tar.md5 to the command line args, but not sure about 3 of them... any suggestions? The files in question are called: BcmCP.img, dt-blob and vc-firmware.img. Thanks.

Re: LightScribe in Linux: Make Gorgeous Discs in Ubuntu

Thanks for the tip! I was also looking for a lightscribe label creator and was disappointed by the limited functionality of the simple labeller. Just downloaded it and it installs smoothly on Ubuntu 12.04. The user interface is still a bit raw, but it seems indeed able to do anything that one would require.

This will fix it for you, works beautifully for me: http://kde-look.org/content/sh...

I know this is late (a year later) but I saw this and though "maybe it'll help".

I am selling my eSpeak for Android port [http://reecedunn.co.uk/espeak-...] on Google Play which funds my development time. I am also working on other projects.

There are other projects as well such as Battle for Wesnoth that are being sold on Google Play.

I have
being grappling with cross-compiling to add external wifi support in a chroot linux
environment. This is great! Thanks. it would be great to see support added for the TP-LINK TL-WN722N. Is that realistic?

This article is very informative. Do you feel Sigil is a program that can be used by anyone, no matter their technological ability?

Re: Debian Project, Community, Mourns Loss of Ray Dassen

Sudhir Gandotra — Sun, 26 May 2013 06:51:36 -0000

Ray Dassen's long association with Debian is a live evidence that one can work to contribute towards the good of the world in a selfless way. This is an example that needs to be emulated by more of us. His work surpasses death and will continue living for a very long time as part of the foundation for new world, the Universal Human Nation.
Let us ask for strength and reconciliation for the family and friends who will need to live with the new reality of not seeing him around physically. Ray will continue to live an exemplary life through his work.

Wow Pidora lool rofl lmao, I need to test it.
At Russian that means "Gay linux" or "Linux for gays" loooooooooooooool
Oh yea it much more offensive than gay+faggot :DD:D:D:D:D

Re: Pidora, Raspberry Pi’s Unfortunately Named Fedora Remix

Russian — Fri, 24 May 2013 16:05:59 -0000

The word is more offensive than faggot. It is banned from print and you can get fined for using it in public. And if you use it to insult someone, you'll probably get in a serious fight.

Re: BeagleSNES: Now You Can Build Your Own Embedded SNES

Andrew Henderson — Fri, 17 May 2013 11:43:25 -0000

Hello Dean. I am Andrew Henderson, the author of BeagleSNES. I noticed that some traffic was coming my way from thepowerbase.com, so I stopped by to see what was going on. I wish that you had contacted me prior to writing this article, since there are many more aspects of the BeagleSNES project that I think would be of more interest to your readers than the particular points that you mentioned. Probably the most important point is that BeagleSNES now also runs on the BeagleBone Black platform, which is a direct competitor cost-wise to the the Raspberry Pi. If you'd like to do a follow-up article or interview, I believe that I can provide you with a great deal of content that your readers might be interested in. Feel free to contact me at hendersa (at) icculus.org.

Re: GitHub Graciously Helps Female Programmers Cower In Fear

Very interesting viewpoint. Definitely something to consider.

Re: GitHub Graciously Helps Female Programmers Cower In Fear

Aaron Wolf — Sun, 12 May 2013 12:26:25 -0000

The answer is MUCH simpler than all this. GitHub is NOT actually a real proponent of Free Software! GitHub is PROPRIETARY. They are interested in achieving monopoly status and getting people to pay them via their freemium model. They are not great friends of FLOSS despite everyone seeing them that way. They don't give gratis service to projects with FLOSS licenses, they give gratis service to anyone who is public. I'll say it again: GitHub is PROPRIETARY. If you want to really further Free Software, you'll use Gitorious or SourceForge's new truly Free Allura system or other options that are themselves FLOSS.

The reason GitHub is doing this is for profit. It is in their business interest. Why Ada is supporting this is another matter, and they shouldn't be doing this, they shouldn't be handing GitHub new clients like this.

Thanks for a reasoned article. Too bad politicians will do the knee jerk thing because they don't understand technical info so they'll just try banning anything and everything w/ the word "gun" in it :-P

Printable bullets.

Re: The Era of the Open Source Gun

Rory McGuire — Wed, 08 May 2013 08:15:17 -0000

Again... bullet control to the rescue :D. Guns are only dangerous in a similar vain as sticks are. some of them are pointy, and some heavy. Bullets on the other hand are rather dangerous. FTW, I'm against gun control because it only takes guns away from people that have them legally.

All technologies have security risks.

1. Homemade metal gun
2. Federal Reserve Notes - Mafia and terror financing
3. Any Car - An irresponsibly driven car may kill people
4. Toasters - May be thrown into bathtubs.

Re: The Era of the Open Source Gun

Alexey Eromenko — Tue, 07 May 2013 10:13:31 -0000

Well, certain OpenSource technologies do have security risk.
1. 3D printed gun.
2. Bitcoin - Mafia and terror financing.
3. Google car - a hacked car with 200 MPh on city street may kill ppl.

The world has changed. Forever. (just like after the 1st nuclear weapon explosion)
