  1. Re:Sorry, but I have to consider the source on UN Attacks Free Speech · · Score: 1

    Is there?

    Depends where you live. In France, there is a whole world of difference.

  2. Re:Where's an economist when you need one? on FCC Commissioner Lauds DRM, ISP Filtering · · Score: 1

    I see. Given the context, I think the latter is the correct interpretation ;)

  3. Re:Where's an economist when you need one? on FCC Commissioner Lauds DRM, ISP Filtering · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, and you could consider a visit to CS 101, to learn about the meaning of the != operator.

  4. Re:#6 - duct tape the right mouse button on How to Turn Your PC into a Mac · · Score: 1

    As others have pointed out, use of two-finger tap or simply any usb mouse with 2 buttons solves this. OTOH, It SHOULD NOT take a third party app to cut and paste files. Really.

  5. Re:Isn't this common? on University Taps Sewers for Internet Access · · Score: 1

    One french ISP (http://www.free.fr/) actually plans to bring FTTH in the whole city over the next few years using the sewers to avoid costly digging.

  6. TFA in 4 words (and a link) on Automatix 'Actively Dangerous' to Ubuntu · · Score: 2

    Automatix is a hack

  7. Re:You're getting ripped off, dude on Will ISPs Spoil Online Video? · · Score: 1

    GP was referring to the ISP's triple play service, which includes IPTV. And no, they ont provide the TV, yet.

  8. Re:They're not even faster! on French Voting Machines a "Catastrophe" · · Score: 1

    My thoughts exactly (except the sig)

  9. Re:In any other product this is called "dumping". on Microsoft Takes On the OLPC · · Score: 1

    I think your reasoning is flawed : if I'm not mistaken, a settlement is precisely a one-off payment, so the number of licenses they issue afterwards is irrelevant. As for the "cost of development", it shouldn't reach very high for existing software they are contractually required to support elsewhere anyway.

  10. Re:Bandwidth is cheaper than tech support...... on How Does Your ISP Handle Top-Usage Customers? · · Score: 1
    From the OP :

    phone calls work out to about $3/minute So you probably wouldn't get $120 for every monkey-hour, but much less : you forgot to factor in the time they spend idle waiting for the phone to ring, which probably happens quite a lot, outside of peak hours.
  11. Re:Moi on France Opens Secret UFO Files · · Score: 1

    A fairly accurate translation would be "Je plussoie" and the corresponding abbreviation "+1". Not yet part of the french language, but fairly common on french forums.

  12. Re:Here, let's look at international reaction on Iran Launches Payload into Space · · Score: 5, Funny

    Please next time also include the full text of the UN Charter when you refer to it. It makes life a bit easier for those of us still using browsers without support for this new hyperlink thingy.

  13. Re:Gotta give her credit on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Release Date Announced · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the figure include all the book pre-ordered months before the publishing date ?
