Rob /"CmdrTaco/" Malda Resigns From Slashdot

  • Slashdot; By Rob /"CmdrTaco/" Malda (Posted by tuxchick on Aug 25, 2011 9:23 AM EDT)
  • Story Type: Announcements; Groups:
After 14 years and over 15,000 stories posted, it's finally time for me to say Good-Bye to Slashdot. I created this place with my best friends in a run down house while still in college. Since then it has grown to be read by more than a million people, and has served Billions and Billions of Pages (yes, in my head I hear the voice). During my tenure I have done my best to keep Slashdot firmly grounded in its origins, but now it's time for someone else to come aboard and find the *future*

Apple's Jobsless Future

As a FOSS supporter, I’ve often found myself POd by actions taken by Steve Jobs, especially in recent months as he’s pulled-out his patent portfolio and declared war on Android. However, I’ve never viewed his actions through the same lens as I’ve used to see the anti-FOSS moves made by the likes of Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer or Larry Ellison. Indeed, I’ve always viewed Jobs as something of a kindred spirit and have understood that his commitment to protecting Apple has been brought about because he knows what it’s like to be ripped off by the likes of Microsoft. It’s happened to him in the past and he’ll be damned if he’s going to let it happen to him again. I like Jobs. I admire him. But he still pisses me off sometimes.

JPC2 - A point and click Windows XP virtual machine

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Linux has come a long way, but there are inevitably one or two Windows only programs that you just can't replace with open source equivalents. For me it was the CHM compiler, and FlashDevelop. Sometimes it's not even a case of being able to find an open source replacement if you are trying to document or grab screen shots of a Windows application. Wine may offer some relief, but virtualization is the most reliable solution. However, both have traditionally involved a lot of configuration. But now there is a solution that goes by the name JPC-2. It is a pure Java virtual machine that can run unmodified versions of Windows XP and older copies of Ubuntu.

This week at LWN: Desktop Summit: Claire Rowland on service design

When thinking about user interface design, many will focus on the application itself, but Claire Rowland, an interaction designer and researcher, looks at things a bit differently. She came to the Desktop Summit in Berlin to describe "service design", which encompasses more than just the interface for a particular application. Looking at the service that is being provided, and focusing on the "touchpoints" for that service, makes for a more holistic view of interface design. That will become increasingly important as we move into a world where more and more "ordinary" devices become connected to the internet.

Linux Hardware Support Better Than Windows 7

The concept of better is a subjective idea. What is better to me is possibly, even probably, not better to someone else. In my case, and in the case of some of my clients, Linux hardware support is “better”.

Git - Revision Control Perfected

In 2005, after just two weeks, Linus Torvalds completed the first version of Git, an open-source version control system. Unlike typical centralized systems, Git is based on a distributed model. It is extremely flexible and guarantees data integrity while being powerful, fast and efficient. With widespread and growing rates of adoption, and the increasing popularity of services like GitHub, many consider Git to be the best version control tool ever created.
