Re: PR Sreejesh over Sardar Singh: Hockey India's bold decision to secure team's future

tinhed — Wed, 13 Jul 2016 11:52:46 -0000

Sreejesh is one of the best goalkeepers, India has ever had and one of the few players from the south (barring the likes of VR Raghunath and Nikin Thimmiah) to look the part in the Punjabi dominated game. Sardar Singh in undoubtedly India's best Mid-fielder, but age has slowed down his reflexes and he takes that extra time in passing to the forwards, which makes a crucial difference against fast teams like Australia. I think Mandeep Singh is a good prospect, who must be groomed by HI as a future Captain.

Re: How To Upgrade Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

tinhed — Tue, 19 Apr 2016 18:03:34 -0000

Hell I would have updated immediately if not for the show stopping catalyst bug (AMD not supporting fglrx on 16.04). I have invested too much on steam and cant see my setup going to waste. I will setup 16.04 on a backup system and see how the AMDGPU thing goes (That one has a Radeon GPU too).

Re: The football World Cup trumps Cricket’s biggest tournament with 25 overs to spare

tinhed — Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:41:25 -0000

The fact about big teams not seeing each other often. Plz compare the number of international matches played to the ones played in club leagues in football and you get the answer. You might get more people watching liverpool with chelsea than england with Iran.Can you imagine the same situation with lahore baadshahs playing delhi daredevils. NO way NO chance. In cricket countries matter more than clubs and naturally play more matches. Would playing that godforsaken IPL for 10 months satisfy your appetite dear author?? That might make the world cup more enjoyable to you.

Probably the only moment i got more excited, than this event was when sreesanth held on to misbah's catch. No one could stop me from shouting for a whole 3 minutes.

Re: Red Star 3.0, North Korea's 'National OS', is a Mac OS X clone

The difference is the naenara web browser, which routes all traffic through a local proxy, allowing the north korean establishment to closely monitor the communication and thus place effective blocks on content. This is the only OS endorsed and legal to be used by the people of PRK.

Re: Dropbox 3.0.3 Stable Linux Desktop Build Released

tinhed — Tue, 16 Dec 2014 09:10:47 -0000

The version in the official repos is bug ridden. I recommend downloading from the opensuse build service. The deb version of the client is available and installs easily. Plus a lot of the security holes have been fixed in the new version.

I know this is an ubuntu only site, but the guys over at PCLinux Os have started their own cloud service called pclinuxos cloud. They give away 5GB of space free and it's based on opencloud. You just need to register on the forums and use the forum name to sign up for the cloud service. I used the client on ubuntu, opensuse and debian - works perfectly. I also get a bookmark, calender,office and contacts app. I think there are paid plans as well. Guys not happy with the current providers can have a look over, because imho this is the only service started and endorsed by an established distribution.

Re: Lenovo Is Following Samsung's Lead In Copying Apple

tinhed — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 09:12:36 -0000

Considering Apple ripped off unix, and then tried to bury its own master, I wouldnt mind them getting a taste of their own medicine. Just teaching Apple crybabies that two can play that game. But hey wait- whatever Apple do is " innovation" and for everyone else its just "imitation".

Thanks Mate. I have YAST setup pretty much for everything, so dont think mint will offer anything new.

I am a huge fan of KDE and been running it on OpenSUSE 13.1, ever since it came out. Is there any reason to try mint out? Is there anything mint can offer that SUSE doesnt?

Re: Microsoft rushes to fix IE browser after attacks but none for XP users

Maybe so, but me thinks this will drive IE users to other browsers. Its a lot easier than changing the OS.

Hats off to Mr gupta for such a well written article. Couldnt agree with you more, especially on the bit that even the majority of hindus still believe in the secular credentials and want india to be secular.

Re: On Leaving Ubuntu

tinhed — Fri, 23 Aug 2013 04:14:50 -0000

Hello ben. greetings from India. I am new to your blog. In fact this is the first post I've read. Its sad to see active contributors like you move away from projects like ubuntu, which was the first linux OS i used, back in 2007. Man, people like you are the messiah of windows converts like me. Thanks for everything. Just on a finishing note, i would like to know your views on the direction Linux mint has taken, vis-a-vis ubuntu. They refused to go with unity, instead coming up with the highly successful cinnamon, threw their weight behind Mate as well. They will not go with Mir. IMHO they are much more community driven than Ubuntu. What are your thoughts?
