  2. Amazing but on Canon Shows the Most Sensitive Camera Sensor In the World · · Score: 2

    something was missing in the sample video: a scene having a high contrast - eg a dark area + the Moon above, or an interior scene where the sun shines through a window + the back of the room in the dark, or a well-lit city + milky way above. How does the camera behave in that case? Does it record enough information (very HDR) to allow the post processing software to balance areas (using complex algorithms, like current HDR programs on DSLR), resulting in both areas clearly visible to the naked eye? Or, instead, the dark area will be clean visible whereas the well lit area will be burned - ie white? That has been (and still is) the problem even with DSLR, and that could be worse with a ultra-sensitive sensor.

    people suicide at France Telecom (Orange) because they don' t work enough

    France Telecom was a lax company who hired and taught people to be lax for years. When time came to make that company up to the current "business" standards, some people had a hard time. I'm not blaming them - most of them spent their whole life in that company and didn't even have the slightest idea what was the "real" work in a "real" enterprise. Suicide is a very sad thing but who is to be blamed? The new managers that tried to give employees a sense of responsibility, or the former ones that kept them in an isolated cocoon for years?

  18. Re:Pro Exploitation CEO on US CEO Says French Workers Have Three-Hour Work Day · · Score: 3, Informative

    I don't what French company you are talking about, but there is a tremendous difference in France between private companies and public-like companies. What you mention typically makes me think of some public-like companies (= public or used to be public) ; tons of holidays, arrogance, indifference, incompetence etc... e.g. Orange, SNCF I'm looking at you.
    But on this other hand, thanks to the economic crisis, most of private companies in France are working hard to win markets, and work also hard to keep them.

  25. Re:So, is this the end of the vi/emacs flamewar? on Evil, Almost Full Vim Implementation In Emacs, Reaches 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Emacs and Vi are different - actually everything that can be done in Vi can be done (or implemented via the creation of a lisp function) in Emacs. The thing is, Vi loads quickly, and its search/replace, line number based commands and (relatively new) syntax highlighting makes it the preferred choice while working in a terminal for rather quick and small changes. While Emacs is more of an application that remains opened from start to end of a user session, loaded with a number of files, directories, lisp functions (thanks to .emacs), libraries (site-lisp etc...), and even sql / shell sessions.
