  5. Overseas? by Cokelee · · Score: 1 · on Hosting Advice for Consumer Advocacy Websites?

    Judging by your site you have gone overseas. http://membres.lycos.fr/execcareer/ All of the companies on your site are based in the US, and the site is hosted by lycos in France (read: under French law).

    It's not a permanent solution but it doesn't look like your site requires a lot of maintenance so I'm not sure there's a problem with it.

  6. Re:DRM in free video formats by UncleFluffy · · Score: 1 · on Slashback: Spamnation, Long-Distance, Libel

    I've had several games that I had to find a No CD crack for so I could play the game that I had just purchased. Typically I have the most trouble with Secure ROM protected games.

    You need this.

  7. Chateau de Moulinsart by dachshund · · Score: 3, Informative · on Spielberg to Produce Live-Action Tintin Movie(s)
    bilious blue blistering barnacles!

    Well, the good news is that they won't have trouble finding a set for Captain Haddock's Chateau de Moulinsarart-- it already exists. Of course, in real life it's known as the Chateau Cheverny and has a couple of large additions on the sides.

    But I'm sure a little digital editing magic and they'll have a great set.

  8. Yawn by Pig+Hogger · · Score: 2 · on Tidal Power a Reality
    Sheesh. Slashdot editors seem to be really head up their arses to post old-hat stories like that.

    Such a tide-power plant has been in operation since 1966 in France. (More links here, too).

    DeCSS was created to allow DVDs to play under Linux.

    Then why is it software which only runs on Windows?

    Thank you very much Don Valenti. You are preventing me from enjoying DVDs I paid fair and square for.

    No he's not. http://membres.lycos.fr/sxpert/decss/DeCSS.zip

  10. Classics by Brummund · · Score: 1 · on Electronic Music 101?

    There's so much good electronic music from the 70's and 80's, like Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle. Check them out! (Especially Nag! Nag! Nag! by Cabaret Voltaire)

    Coil is a long time favorite. A good introduction would be the Unnatural History compilations and Time Machine. (Time Machine is _very_ ambient, and brilliantly simple.)

    For the harder stuff, I'd listen to Skinny Puppy(Worlock and Tin Omen are classics), Frontline Assembly and Klinik.

    And of course, one of the greatest bands ever, DAF (Deustsche Amerikanische Freundschaft.) Look for Der Mussolini, Verschwinde deine Jugend and Sex unter wasser on your favorite p2p network.

    Meat Beat Manifesto is another brilliant band, once found on the brainwashed site. (A big "thank you" to the people who maintain that site.)

    Yeah, but most heating in Québec is done by hydroelectricity, wich is plentyfull, unless a freakish one-week ice storm destroys the infrastructure. (we're talking 10cm of ice on top of everything here.)

  14. Re:No.... by mvw · · Score: 2 · on Interview With BitKeeper Author Larry McVoy
    My experience is that you won't find a more polite or upstanding group of people than at the gun range. Since everybody is in possession of firearms of varying degrees of potential lethality, people tend to be on their best behavior--an illustration of the axiom that "an armed society is a polite society."

    Sure, exactly the same reason why porcupines make love veeerrry cautiously.

  16. Get a Style Guide by aebrain · · Score: 1 · on What is Well-Commented Code?

    The "How to write Unmaintainable Code" article on the web is an excellent resource for documentation - much as "Web Pages that Suck is an excellent guide for web designers.

    Your organisation - even if it's just 1 man and a dog - should already have a style guide in place. Don't have one? Well then it's easy, there are plenty of good ones on the Net, for Java, C++,Lisp,MATLAB, Ada and many others.

    A good list of C and C++ styleguides is here. Just pick one. The important thing is to make sure everyone uses the same one, exactly which one is more a religious issue than anything else. That's an over-simplification, some really are better than others, but at least all the ones on that list have been tried, tested and peer-reviewed.

    As for my own opinions, a few issues

    • Make variable names meaningful. If you do this, then most of your comments will be metadata, e.g why you did something, and who and when a change was made, rather than what is being done. If you're doing something tricky or unusual, then having a pseudocode preamble can be worthwhile.
    • If you can, try to use a relatively high-level language like Ada rather than a low-level one like C. But this is almost never under your control. The Javadoc auto-documentation tool is one of the biggest plusses that Java has over other languages - so if programming in Java, Use It!!
    One final thing: your teachers should be castigated for not teaching you this already. For my sins, I've been a CS teacher at ADFA and coding style was always worth Far more marks than merely getting a chunk of code to do something right. Hacking a Kludge to do some trivial mickey-mouse stuff is far easier than professional programming, any 9-year-old hacker with VB can do that. But to make a diamond-hard industrial-strength software component that people's lives can depend upon, that can be modified easily and retain its integrity throughout its lifecycle, that's "non-trivial".
