LibreOffice 4.0 ships with new features, better looks

Re: @The BigYin

What the hell is your problem? batfastad wasn't bitching or demanding anything. He simply mentioned a feature that he would like to see implemented in GIMP. Now go take some Prozac.

Re: Libre Office does it for me...

I just switched to Libre Office and I'm very happy with it so far. I actually like LO Calc better than Excel. In Calc, I can create a chart in one step; axis titles, chart title, data set, etc. - all entered on one screen.

Cheaper, slimmer Google Nexus 7 rumored for Q1 2013

Re: lets just modify a typical Fandroid commentard on an iPad article

I was generalizing the iPhone experience. Older models have been all but abandoned by Apple, by design.

Re: lets just modify a typical Fandroid commentard on an iPad article

1. This "upgrade" is not forced on consumers since newer releases of Android will still run on older phones. Not so with iPhones.

2. $99 < ($199 || $299 || $399)

2.5. If the $99 rumor is not true, then it'll still be a helluva lot cheaper to upgrade storage (via SD card)

Boffin: Android's on-board malware scanner utterly FAILS

Derp

There's a pretty significant difference between the three that you (conveniently) overlooked. While security researchers are supposedly working to improve the product they analyze, bank robbers and burglars have a malicious motive. Doesn't take an AC to understand that.

I'm saying that researchers might make more of a difference in the long term by helping repair broken security, as opposed to the more easy (and rewarding in the short term) task of poking holes in the work of others. If you are a researcher solely dedicated to discovering vulnerabilities, then good, your work is much appreciated.

But I do think we need more people interested in proactive security.

Maybe these researchers should spend more time improving Android's malware detection, as opposed to just proving what we could have guessed.

Unless you meant Canadian teenagers?

'Build us a Death Star, President Obama' demand thousands

Re: It's a joke

Let's not attack strawmen, RICHTO, m-kay? If you read what I wrote (instead of drunk-skimming,) you'll see that the only observation I made about global warming was this: How the fuck could you possibly start a conversation about it in a thread regarding Death Stars?

Last I checked, the IRS != the American people. Unless you honestly believe that ~315 million are in support of Scientology, then maybe you (along with most rational thinkers) can arrive at the correct conclusion that the IRS screwed up. Maybe they're fearful of what would happen if they revoked their tax exempt status.

Now, please take your contrived arguments elsewhere.

Re: It's a joke

What do you mean by "They consider Scientology a religion"? Surely, you don't believe that the majority of Americans recognize it as an actual religion. The opposite is true.

By the way, nice job worming global warming into this conversation. You truly are a talented troll.

John McAfee 'captured'

In one of his posts (http://www.whoismcafee.com/if-i-am-captured/) John mentions that the site is administered by another person (Chad). Maybe that has something to do with it - just a guess.

Staples to offer in-store full color 3D printing service

That's... pretty cool.

Glad to see a company keeping up with the times instead of fading into obscurity (*cough* Yahoo *cough*).

If the service isn't expensive as hell, then even better! Though even if it is expensive, at least it will introduce the average person to 3D printing.

Dyson alleges spy stole 'leccy motor secrets for Bosch

Re: "mine hasn't"

I'm pretty rough on vacuums; swinging them around by the handle to move them, bumping the wheels into walls, but again, the Dyson (a DC14, to be specific) has lived up to the abuse. As Lusty points out, it's also pretty easy to replace individual parts.

Say what you want about Dyson
