  1. Re:Trust the FBI? on FBI Accidentally Received Unauthorized E-Mail Access · · Score: 1

    Could be worst, they could have give access to a non-governmental organization... I wouldn't like a random company like say... Microsoft to have the control of my hotmail address...

    Uh... wait a minute...

  2. Re:How do you figure that it is poisonous? on Possibility of Life On Mars Looking More Remote · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Scientists don't do science to be useful. Usefulness is just what scientists show to people so that they can do science.

    If you start looking for something useful, your an engineer, not a scientist.

  3. Re:Uhm on Space Shuttle Secrets Stolen For China · · Score: 1

    Too much complex I would say. Too expensive, too difficult to maintain... It's a great piece of technology, but the NASA need something more exploitable.

    That said, there might be some interesting technologies to see on those plans, that can be redone with modern ways... Still faster to do that than beginning from scratch.

  4. Re:Operating System != GUI on Is Linus Torvalds Speaking for Linux Anymore? · · Score: 1

    Ok my bad. But my point still stand. Names are only names after all...

  5. Re:Operating System != GUI on Is Linus Torvalds Speaking for Linux Anymore? · · Score: 1

    Considered the same doesn't mean the same. For Mac, the GUI is called leopard last time I checked and is a separate thing from OSX. On windows, you call it Aeral or something like that. End users don't give a shit about the difference, ok with that. Only when Linus talk about OS, you can trust him to know the difference and to not miss use "OS". So you can call the "journalist" dumb for not being smart enough to know he was misinterpreting the guy and get his readers confuse with him. And it's worst if he did understand what Linus was saying, it's called lying.

  6. Re:Wrong! on Mac Hack Contest Redux · · Score: 1

    Yes it will. you could always get rid of windows and install linux after that. Or sell it on e-bay...

  7. Re:Corrected on Online Parent-Child Gap Widens · · Score: 1

    1) move ubuntu (or whatever OS you want) on a flash drive

    2) boot the flash drive

    3) enjoy without fear...

    With a 4Go flash drive for less than $30, the secret isn't so expensive...

  8. 0G sex! on NASA Wants "People People" for Astronaut Core · · Score: 1

    Why forget the space station? I would pay a lot for 0G sex!

  9. Re:Am I the only one... on The Dungeons and Dragons Fourth Edition Preview Books · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Isn't Role Playing the whole point of role playing games? who cares the rules are complex enough to role a dice for eating an egg? you won't remember to eat anyway...

    D&D have always been more like a dice game anyway...

  10. Re:Free as in "Freedom Fries?" on French Police Ditching Windows for Linux · · Score: 1

    I doubt US government can be significantly more willing to throw money towards friends than a certain Nicola S.

    But Mr N isn't a friend with any MS guy that I know. (And Balmer didn't give him a Xbox for Christmas, so it's maybe why french government is switching so fast...)

  11. I felt a great disturbance in the Force... on Millions in Middle East Lose Internet · · Score: 1

    ... as if millions of voices were suddenly silenced and suddenly cried out in frustration.

  12. Re:So wait... on Lotus Notes 8.5 Will Support Ubuntu 7.0 · · Score: 1

    That's not the point. The point is they now think ubuntu is popular enough for them to make some company oriented software runnable on a Linux distribution.

  13. Re:This works with the iPhone as well on Use Your Cellphone as a 3D Mouse · · Score: 1

    It must be a Mac interface...

  14. And what about the universe? on XKCD Inadvertently Causes Googlebomb · · Score: 1

    Does observing xkcd shorten the life of the universe? I'm confused....

  15. Re:who cares? on How Feds are Dropping the Ball on IPv6 · · Score: 1

    Internet is about freedom of speech, even if what you have to say is worthless. If you start choosing who can talk and who can not, on a claim that subjective, you will lost a lot of things interesting only because the guy in charge doesn't care.

    Or we could just keep the websites that are most visited, but I think it's only a way of promoting crap.

  16. Re:Linux Mag? on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon vs. Mac OS X Leopard · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think so, since there are apparently some fools who actually run windows as their only operating system...

  17. Re:Linux Mag? on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon vs. Mac OS X Leopard · · Score: 1

    What is your guess on the result in Windows Mag?

  18. Re:Easy proof other intelligent life forms exist . on Does Active SETI Put Earth in Danger? · · Score: 1

    I would be very surprised if there were not cats in Washington. And maybe rats, but I don't know much about politics...

  19. Re:That is quite exciting on 'w00t' Named 2007 Word of the Year · · Score: 1

    But wikipedia IS the One! It alter reality!

  20. Re:Cambrian explosion? on The Role of Retroviruses in Human Evolution · · Score: 1

    So, bad virus could be some sort of buggy retrovirus?

  21. Re:Jumping the shark on Firefly Lives - New Comics in 2008 · · Score: 1

    That's why every stories should begin at the beginning : so that no one can possibly be tempted to make prequels...

    But unfortunately, I don't think even the bible is prequel-proof.

  22. Re:What are the main differences between KDE & on KDE 4 to Be Released on January 11th · · Score: 1

    I use Ubuntu and I have no problems doing that... When was the last time you used gnome aniway?

  23. I was wrong... on Game Journalist May Have Been Fired Over Negative Review · · Score: 1

    Well ok, maybe ads does influence the webwriter...

    But, hey, I was right on one point : This wasn't very subtil.

  24. Re:Brains? on Scientists Create Zombie Cockroaches · · Score: 1

    Zombie are supposed to eat brain, not being eaten...

  25. Re:Get @ b1gg3r p3n15 t0d@y on Are Spammers Giving Up? · · Score: 1

    I don't think ads are all that bad. You know, just a lil' box on the top of the page or even better : in the bottom of the page. It remind me of the ads standing near the périphérique. (well except that they do entertain me when I'm the traffic jam... which I can't say the same for Internet ads.)

    As for jeopardizing the moral integrity of the site... well, it's not like the webwriter actually are inflenced by the ads on their sites. Or at least, I don't know of such site. And I have confidence not every writer is subtil enough to hide the influence.

    It's maybe a little weird, but I do trust people stupidity here.
