    pff, I don't use telnet. I just edit/read the tcp stream.

    Does it support javascript ? Because it is the main reason to use firefox : eff-ing javascript.

    AC! Don't dare speak the name of alsa. Alsa is the past ! CAN'T YOU SEE! You have to use PulseAudio for sound. Alsa is so old fashioned. You know it even work !

    I'd like more subtle troll as well. This one is boring.

    Hey it is ubuntu. It is not supposed to work! :)

    Seriously! When microsoft treated user like beta-tester we hated them. And now we praise ubuntu which does even worse...

    I am very happy with my debian stable. I know there are no such critical bugs in it.

  6. Re:Don't shop amazon if you like artistic integrit on Amazon Patents Changing Authors' Words · · Score: 1

    I was about to say it. If they do that, I'll never buy a book at their e-shop. I don't care about watermarking that does not change the visual quality of a rendering (despite each video technology improvement shows the imperfectness of previous records ), but changing the content is not acceptable. why not change the color of the hair of actors in movie while we are at it ?

  10. Re:100? on Tilera To Release 100-Core Processor · · Score: 1

    well you are right when you say you don't need powers of 2 to be a smp. But GP is right as well. There are a lot of parallel algorithm that relies on a number of processor which is a power of 2. However, we usually know workaround when it is not a power of 2.

  11. eeebox on Low-Power Home Linux Server? · · Score: 1

    I am using a eeebox at home as a file/web server and to do music and video in my living room. The first models B202 uses around 30W of power and doesnot make much noise (eay less than my fridge). There is no optical drive. It can not render full HD but 720p can still be done.

    It may not be what you are looking for, but I think it is a faire reference point.

  12. Re:As I've said before. on Court Orders the Pirate Bay To Delete Torrents · · Score: 1

    I so much agree with you... Paying for the production is so much better than paying for accessing the production.
    I know there is a 'so much' in each of my sentence, this one included.

    you forgot to sign "Nicolas" which is the most funny part :)

  14. Re:I've conducted my own blind tests... on 1/3 of People Can't Tell 48Kbps Audio From 160Kbps · · Score: 5, Informative

    I think it really depends on your audio setup as well. I used to have crappy speaker and could not make the difference between FLAC and low rate MP3 (I think it was fixed 128kbps).

    When I switched to better speakers then I could actually make the difference. Despite that, I am sure I won't make the difference between 192 VBR and FLAC.

    BTW, since hard drive is cheap this days, I go for FLAC for everything.

  15. Re:Programming in general, is a lost art for Linux on PulseAudio Creator Responds To Critics · · Score: 1

    +10^6

    I am almost quitting Linux to BSD because of their non-sense API. Gnome is the worst pile of crap I have ever seen. It override every single configuration you can do. (e.g., no keyboard setting linked to the tty, gnome does it all)

    Network-manager is RIDICULOUS. Where is the ifconfig front-end to configure the wifi they use in some BSDs ?

    PA is yet another software crap to do sound. Shitty latency, shitty API, shitty configuration, shitty driver. Whys the HELL are people packing that ?

    I am really waiting for when they will remember the unix philosophy. one problem, one tool. one tool, one problem. KISS. and write a clear man page.

    I used prime95 to test some hardware last year and successfully found some processors on the network which divided wrong.

  21. Re:France just sucks on French President Violates His Own Copyright Law, Again · · Score: 2, Informative

    I am not fond of my minister of culture nor my government. But that is false. The book is not about his sexual relation with young Thai boys but about his life and the things he never told anyone before. It is like "Confessions" by Rousseau.

    There is a chapter where he says he paid for sex with male young ADULT. I read an excerpt and there is no confusion possible. Perhaps he had relation with minor (that I don't no) but the book does not say so.
