Comment Re:Conspiracy Theory (Probably the real truth) (Score 1) 220

The point of a theory is it is not proven. It sounds like I hit a nerve with you. I was reading the situation and things don't add up. I decided to propose a theory that crosses the T's and sounds like something that could actually have happened in this day and age. I know how schools like to bully things out of students to save face. I also know how people over-react when such a save-face occurs and demand stuff out of the innocent who was made to seem guilty. The next time you post, try not to do it anonymously... it will give you more credit.

Comment Conspiracy Theory (Probably the real truth) (Score 1, Offtopic) 220

The teacher actually did kiss the boy. The school wanted to cover up a teacher misconduct issue and manipulated the student to admitting it was a joke. The school then tries to cover their ass more by suspending him and manipulating the parents to get him to go to a different school. The police chief was just ignorant to everything. The buy who actually kissed the teacher realized what BS this was and got nothing but problems from the situation had enough and is suing. I'm not saying the teacher took advantage of the student when they kissed. It could have been mutual. He could have had a hand in making it happen. It could have just been a kiss on the cheek or hand. I just don't believe for one minute either side of the story is completely true.

Comment Keep Using EncFS (Score 3, Interesting) 107

I recently went through this same issue.

I tried lots of alternatives, but EncFS is still the best solution out there.

The best and most reliable windows port of EncFS is Safe.
http://www.getsafe.org/

It does have some limitations, but in general it's the best solution out there.

They strive to be binary compatible with Linux EncFS and have versions for Windows and Mac.

Plus it's free and open source. (GPLv3)

Comment I would pay $1 a month (Score 2) 167

I would pay $1 a month to upgrade my account. The $11 is too much. I would prefer just keep Netflix streaming and listen to background music and dialog. I did the 3 month thing or 99 cents the time before last that it was offered, but they only allow you to do that once. My option was to create another account and pay the 99 cents or just continue as a free user. I choose to stay a free user, as it doesn't really bother me. To me, it just says they pushed away a potential paying member, who is not willing to pay the price they are asking, but would be willing to pay another price. If spotify gets rid of the free tier, I would leave it. Even if I were a premium paying member.

Comment Windows Users - Performance Tweak (Score 5, Informative) 134

For Windows, the UI will seem to lag or not redraw in real-time while drawing or using it.
Disable Rulers (ctrl + r, or Menu: View -> Show/Hide -> Rulers) will fix it.
I spoke with the very helpful people on Inkscape's IRC Channel for this tip.

This may also apply to some versions of The G.I.M.P.

I don't know about your phone, but mine does not auto dial when you hit the 10th digit? What about international?

I have plenty of offline gps applications, I use them when traveling in countries or towns that I don't have service.

If they really think it is so good, then they should put their money where their mouth is.
Make it into a crackme, issue a large award for solving it.
Post it online. I give it a few weeks max, if that.
And who is to say it can't still be manipulated once running?
Think of the performance cost.

Either way, I have no faith in an article with little details.
