To summarize: CO2 is good (we all understand how photosynthesis works). So more CO2 must be OK. Nothing to worry about here. Que sera sera. Anyone who thinks otherwise has been duped by some vast conspiracy to restrict your personal freedoms. :lol: :wink: Bingo #1. Which leads directly to... At the...

Ivan Sanders at Distrowatch just reviewed the latest Manjaro (Cinnamon) release and was really impressed with how well this new mhwd utility functioned, making for an easy, straightforward installation (excellent hardware recognition) and kernel swaps on his multi-video card (Optimus), late-model Le...

All even minimally ethically conscientious users of Google Chrome need to abandon it - NOW. No excuses. :evil: Pathetic and disgusting. There are websites I regularly visit that are completely, utterly unusable without an adblocker (uBlock Origin) installed and running - literally bringing an i7, 8G...

They should continue the incremental improvement without changing the basic functionality. ..........(snip)............... In other words, more of the same but better, not something different.

I believe these are Windows programs. No - those are a brand-new set of Puppy WiFi tools, developed by stemsee himself - see here; http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=112660 That may be just what you're lookin' for, and certainly worth a shot. And anyway, they need more attention and t...

Here is a little stand-alone app that converts MP3 files to WAV format (or vice versa). Works a treat in my DebDog mklive spin (just a quick test); converted an 8.3 Mb/192 kbps mp3 into ---> a 61 Mb wav file incredibly fast (3 seconds or less!).
