Comment Re:As KDE developer, he's missing the obvious solu (Score 1) 393

To me beauty is an hindrance and gets in the way. I don't want bouncing icon or transparent windows or hidden menu bars or hidden keyboard shortcuts. It's distracting and make things hard to read. Keep things clear and functional, and yes, I agree with GP, KDE is currently the best for that. For instance [F4] in Dolphin beats any plurely graphical file manager all the way and then some.

Comment How about convenient... (Score 1) 249

It's simply not possible to listen to music loudly at home. So it's:
  • On the mountain bike with bluetooth OPEN earbuds so I can ear what's around. From a phone. Music.
  • On the bus with active noise canceling earbuds, wired from a phone. Movies, FM radio.
  • At home with small bluetooth speakers from a laptop (movies) or a phone (music).
  • In the car with a custom blutooth replacement to the external CD charger of the car radio, so I can have SD memory cards or phone. I wish all car radios came with SD/USB slots, but that's still not the case. And for some cars it's not like you have a choice unless you spend 1600€. We can sleep in the car in the middle of the woods, with a tablet stuck to the ceiling and a horror movie playing on the car speakers. Wicked.

Samsung SmartTV Customers Warned Personal Conversations May Be Recorded 309

An anonymous reader writes Samsung's privacy policy includes details that its Smart TV voice recognition feature may pick up on personal conversations and transmit private communications to third parties. Buried in the privacy policy related to the smart television, Samsung advises users to be aware that any snippets of conversation might be captured by the software which allows them to control their television sets with a series of commands. Questions have been raised about who these third parties could be, what the information is used for, and how the data is being transmitted – with potentially unencrypted voice clips left exposed to hackers.

Ask Slashdot: What Tools To Clean Up a Large C/C++ Project? 233

An anonymous reader writes I find myself in the uncomfortable position of having to clean up a relatively large C/C++ project. We are talking ~200 files, 11MB of source code, 220K lines of code. A superficial glance shows that there are a lot of functions that seem to be doing the same things, a lot of 'unused' stuff, and a lot of inconsistency between what is declared in .h files and what is implemented in the corresponding .cpp files. Are there any tools that will help me catalog this mess and make it easier for me to locate/erase unused things, clean up .h files, and find functions with similar names?
