Stop Whining and Fight Back
Written By:  SJR | Posted on Mar 15, 2010 at 01:44pm

I love open-source. I came to it a couple of years ago, and it's opened my eyes to a world of flexible, creative software and tools that I hadn't known about. The community behind a lot of those ideas is vibrant and fascinating. But one thing that's come to bug me quite a bit is ho ...

Best Google Chrome extensions
Posted By:  burfoot on Mar 06, 2010 at 12:31pm

When Google first released its Chrome browser no-one really knew how popular it would turn out to be. Initially its major failure in the face of Firefox's extensive extensions database was that it couldn't be extended with additional plugins. Now, however, there is a growing list of extensions available for Chrome. We look at some of the best.

Windows is Easier, Just Like Stabbing Your Own Eyeballs is Easier
Posted By:  burfoot on Mar 06, 2010 at 12:31pm

Windows is all about walls. It's nothing but barriers. Want to do something? The answer is no. You know what the worst part of trying to troubleshoot and fix any Windows PC is? The endless waiting. Waiting for it to reboot. Waiting for hung processes to finish whatever they are doing. Waiting for apps to install or uninstall, and why is that always so dog-slow? For extra amusement, hook up a sniffer like Wireshark or tcpdump just to watch how many Windows apps phone home.

Linux at retail has been a hit-and-miss proposition for more than a decade. Consumers have been able to purchase some boxed versions of Linux distros from off store shelves over the years, though for the most part, that's not how most have historically acquired Linux

Google releases "Living Stories" code
Posted By:  burfoot on Mar 05, 2010 at 12:29pm

You are reading a standard-form news article, and when new information comes to light, the piece you're reading might just be referenced in a follow-up — but it won't be displayed in context or be easy to navigate. However, if Google's Living Stories experiment takes off following the release of its code, that won't always be the case.

Getting Loopy: Performance Loopers For Linux Musicians
Posted By:  burfoot on Mar 05, 2010 at 12:28pm

A loop in music is a section of the music that repeats itself continuously until receiving a signal to either stop or move on to the next section. A loop can be assigned to a single instrument or to a group of instruments. Compositionally, loops are used for a variety of purposes. For example, they may function as formal bass patterns over which a composition is built, or they may suppy a long but consistently repeating series of chords used to define the harmony for independently composed bass and melody lines. For many computer-based music-makers the loop's most popular implementation is the drum loop, a rhythmic pattern of one or more measures of percussion sounds that can be repeated unchanged for simple lines or mixed & matched with other loops for more life-like variation.

The Three Giants of Linux
Posted By:  burfoot on Mar 05, 2010 at 12:26pm

The Linux ecosystem is a complex entity. On one hand everyone gets along and benefits from work done by others, while on the other there’s often animosity and conflict between distributions and their communities (remember when Ubuntu came along?). People often complain that there is simply too much choice in the Linux world and that we’d all be better off if there was just one, or two. However, nothing could be further from the truth. The multitude of Linux distributions exists for a reason. They exist because not one single distribution can satisfy the desires of every user on the planet. Different people like different ways of doing things. Not only that, the distribution that one might want to use for a server won’t necessarily suit a laptop. So thankfully there are thousands of distros to choose from.
