There is no solution, other than inspecting each and every .deb you wish to install. There is always a compromise.
Use a "trusted" repo and live with the fact that there may still be a small...
*BSD and *solaris are essentially derivatives of the UNIX which was developed very early on by AT&T and friends, and they have a lot of common code between them and UNIX.
Linux is written from...
Or anti-competitive practices?

A short story:
Around 7 years ago whilst temping at a university I was testing their roll-out of XP. At the time they had included in the default install a Microsoft screen-saver called Bliss,...
I would send a "bug" report to the IT department. Tell them about the problem you had accessing your home folder and that after the error occurred you appeared to have access to the entire server....
This kills me.
First, Microsoft don't report all patched vulnerabilities the way open-source does. If they can hide the fact anything was ever patched they will. If you report a security...
I doubt that moving your HDD will cause the heads to crash into the platters. The distance between the heads and platters is so microscopically small, that if either moved a significant amount, they...
Another bump for Bibble 5. Even the beta was damn fast. It has a native linux client but it's not free in either sense. Still, I dont mind paying for quality apps and this is one of them.
Also,...
Those PS3's would only take 1.3s to crack a 6 digit password if only lower-case letters were used. 83 seconds if upper and lower case are used. Less than 10 minutes if numbers and the characters...
I like Gnome really. And how it looks in Ubuntu is just a theme, and themes can be easily changed.
I don't know why they chose Gnome as the default for Ubuntu but it is easy to use and is...
don't bother asking SCO...they look to have lost this one...touch wood.

As a university student I find it useful to be able to collaborate on coursework with GW. Of course it helps that I had enough invites to get people onto it. I think it has potential, I'd especially...
Don't look as boot times. Look at how long it takes from pressing the power button to loading your web browser and loading these forums.
Windows lies to people by "loading" before it's actually...
So umm, Google are locking you into using their products by, err, providing easy ways to migrate all your data AWAY from Google's apps?

A mobile phone is useless (as a phone) without signal, yet those are still a huge success. Chrome OS is designed for use where there IS an internet connection. Many netbooks these days, and probably...
Indeed. And as for consoles, they are really just PCs. So given a unified gaming platform (preferably linux based), we might one day see games which can run on anything which supports that common...
OpenGL has been around as long as Direct3D. However, Microsoft have managed to get nearly every game developer to use D3D over the years. Probably using the same methods they used to try kill every...
I don't see your reasoning here, how would Google getting in the OS market help make them a monopoly?
Switching search engine's is easy. Switching from Google's apps to something else is also...
So, any particular reason why you wanted to share this ONE bit of info from the open week? I can only imagine it's because you'd like more funding for Kubuntu, or that you're not happy with the...
Well, ok, to satisfy the OP, Canonical should just stop funding everything to do with Ubuntu? Or perhaps he wants as much funding for Kubuntu as for Ubuntu? What about Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Lubuntu...
For the last month my PC has been having major problems. Random freezes with no information why (requiring a hard reset), network connection to my router being dropped (requiring a reboot), and many...
If Google can pull this off and produce a lightweight OS for netbooks with good application support (Offline storage is a must) then it could just be the best thing to happen to Linux. The fact...

Aren't the codecs available on a similar licence to Flash? In other words, the codec is freely available for anyone to use? If so, what's the problem? Firefox has had built in functionality to...
