My last effort then was to install a Win8.1 OEM -- and of course this reformatted the disk as NTFS . the Win8.1 OEM failed as I couldn't get the proper support for the monitor installed . I had started with an HP 1440x900 which my wife discarded -- and which works perfect in Linux -- but the Win8.1...

Who would have guessed that?

Well, it seems like Google isn't the friend of 32-bit users at least.

"Asunder" is also a possibility.

I've not had time today to research this much, but I think Chromium 32 bit is still going to be available, all be it I believe you have to manually add the PepperFlash plugin (etc). I'll check this tomorrow as I have not got anything important on. AFAIK, the problem is, there won't be an up-to-date...

Still, you are not entitled to free newspaper articles or magazines whatsoever. If someone decides to write them for free, that's great. However it isn't something you can or should expect. Journalists also need to earn their livelihood and feed their families. A plumber is kind of an "expert&q...

What you seem to forget is that writers also need to make a living somehow. You do seem to forget that Wired is selling magazines, and that's their business. Circulations of printed magazines and newspapers have been declining in general while more and more people are reading their articles online....

What you seem to forget is that writers also need to make a living somehow. Writing a quality article requires a lot of time, research and effort, so I really don't see why someone should be expected to do it for free. You wouldn't expect a plumber, electrician, mechanic, it administrator, etc. to d...

It seems unlikely to me that there are any backdoors in Linux or just about any open source software. Let's be honest: Who read the source code of the kernel and every single program he has installed on his computer, provided they compile them from source? The vast majority of GNU/Linux users obtai...

You will not see your password when entering it in the terminal. This is completely normal.

Are you sure you have entered it correctly?

Well, you can't deny that Ubuntu has had its impact on Linux and has increased its popularity. However, it is also a fact that Canonical have always taken more from Linux and the FOSS community than they've given back. There certainly are a lot of other distributions and companies that have contribu...

Where would we be without Ubuntu?
Where would Ubuntu be without Debian?
Where would Linux be without Torvalds?
Where would the kernel be without C?
Where would life on earth be without water or oxygen?
etc...

You can't really draw any conclusions out of that because 1) most Linux users obtain their software only through official repositories as opposed to downloading it from a website 2) it is a source code tar archive requiring manual compilation which is something a lot of Linux users, especially the n...

Installed a keyboard localization package and now everything works as intended.

So far, I'm really impressed with Atom.

Looks like a great editor but somehow it won't let me type a backslash ("\"). When I press the appropriate key combination (alt gr + ß, German keyboard layout) it collapses the current line instead of printing a backslash. Unfortunately the program is not that useful to me without being ab...

If only it wasn't for all those privacy violations, Windows 10 would actually be a fine OS.

Also, Adobe itself has pronounced Flash dead and has advised its customers to switch to HTML 5. How does one do that? Well, Adobe has told people creating web animations using their software to switch to HTML 5... You can just disable the flash plugin as "killer de bug" advised and you'll...
