Submission + - X Windows now available for Android (wordpress.com)

On Australian networks at least, smartphones are assigned publicly-accessible IP addresses, so it should be possible to display many Linux applications on an Android smartphone simply by setting the DISPLAY environment variable to the phone's IP address followed by :0

Create a fork and cash in millions.

Seriously, Mozilla has something like 30% marketshare and IIRC Google gave them 300 Million. So they only manage to gain 3% (= 1/10 of Firefox users) with a conservative stable version, then that would be 30 million. Surely that would be worth the trouble.

Is nobody in the community smelling the money?

Comment The US is pretty much at war with Iran already (Score 1, Flamebait) 361

The utterly corrupt Obama administration is not satisfied with wars in Uganda, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan and wherever I currently don't remember.

Obama has already made several steps towards war, and to say that the drone-campaign will continue is just the last step.

People were furious about Bush lies to start the wars. Obama has found the solution! Just don't talk about it, the people at home don't seem to care.

SOPA is just the latest "Change" that we got from Obama.

Doesn't anybody find it strange that There are no protests against Obama's wars?

Must not criticize this Nobel Peace Price winner, it would make quite a lot of people feel very stupid when they first treat him as the next messiah ("Jesus was also a community organizer", remember?) and then critizise him.

Firefox is really in a crisis because the Mozilla foundation is still living in the 90s, when everybody and his dog bought a new computer every 2 years.

What we need is stability, we need less versions (preferrably one per year or even less than that).

As a person who believes in "capitalistic" things like reason and science, I can only see how "global warming" is becoming a religion.

Do you think that Obama is caring about what happens after the 2012 election? Does any politician except maybe Ron Paul? *Only* the capitalist part of our culture cares about the future because only the capitalist part can inherit it to their children. The socialist part (i.e. state) is taking up huge debts, causing huge ecological damage and in general does not really care much about anything beyound the next election. Why? Because why should a president solve a problem that will emerge when another president is in office? Nope.

But don't worry, we will run out of oil anyway. Chances are, you are much more likely to freeze to death when the oil becomes too expensive for heating than anything about "climate change".
