Comment Ubuntu still has the user base (Score -1, Offtopic) 109

Since I custom configure my computer, it doesn't make much difference which Linux distro under the hood, as long as it works. Having used Linux since RedHat 7, I've tried several dozen distros over the years. What I most like about ubuntu is that for almost every problem I've had, I've been able to google it and find somebody else who's not only had the same problem, but also solved it. I have not this kind of experience with any other distro. I doubt Kali has anything close. PS. I also have a really old computer I use for browsing on which I run LxPup. Woof!

So it's the webpages fault? or your browser? Think carefully as no one else seems to be having the issue.

Let me put the question back to you. Think carefully as I've visited over a thousand web pages this week, many of them chock full of ads, with this browser and haven't had the problem on any other web page.

Comment Main links hijacked by ads (Score 2) 216

The post links twice to an offsite article that is hijacked by an overlay ad from which there is no escape, making the article unreadable. There is a hidden x on the ad overlay which only shows by scrolling, but clicking it only makes the x vanish, not the flash ad overlay. Reloading the article only reloads the problem. I'm running Pale Moon, a lightweight Firefox derivitive, on Linux.

I concur. Your enemy has a lot of stored ammo and probably has practice using it. You have minimal, if any, ammo or defenses, and no practice using either. You are not prepared for war, even if your enemies are bullies and you are in the right. You might be able to put something up somewhere showing the name of your old apps have been changed to the new names, so people looking for the old name can still find them. I can't imagine that a notice that you've changed your apps names to avoid potential trademark issues would be subject to a takedown. If you badmouth your adversaries in those notices, they might still attack, so be polite, no matter how you really feel about them.

Submission + - Simple Geometry = More Seats in an Airline

innerpeace writes: New airline seat arrangement looks to increase passenger capacity. A patent application by Zodiac Seats France calls for a design that puts every other passenger in a row facing backward. That means that in a row of three fliers, the seat by the window and the seat by the aisle face toward the front of the plane while the middle seat faces toward the back. The design idea could fit up to 80 more passengers in a plane, depending on the current seat layout. Here's a pic.
