    TeX current version is 3.14.

  2. Outsourcing ? on Sony Recants on Dead Pixels (Sort Of) · · Score: 1

    Is it because Sony don't produce their lcd themselves and can now afford to harass their manufacturers to produce betetr screen for cheaper ?

  3. Kids ? on High School Kids Beat MIT at Robotics Competition · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm sorry, but the guy with glasses and a whtie beard on this photo doesn't exactly look a kid to me.

  4. Re:Question: on Mac OS X "Tiger" Enters Final Candidate Stage · · Score: 2, Informative

    Too late: ORA already reserved the right to use canine specimen in order to deal with Apple-related technologies.

  5. News ? on Mac OS X "Tiger" Enters Final Candidate Stage · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It has been rumoured for a long time so this final candidate stage is obvious.
    It also appeared on my Swiss reseller's catalogue last week.
    I'm however glad it'll support my Samsung 213T rotation.

  6. Re:"Evil"? on Internet Providers Band Together to Fight Evil · · Score: -1, Troll

    Should be "Microsoft", this is Slashdot, after all... ;)

  7. Fingerprint ? on Internet Providers Band Together to Fight Evil · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Does this mean that whoever whose data will be travelling across their switches will have to give credentials ?
    Does anyone else see the potential abuse it carries ?

  8. Here's the best on 2005 Star Wars Fan Film Entries Online · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why did they forget Him ???

  9. Re:Apple and Orange on What's Next At Apple · · Score: 2

    If a bored NASA engineer can, why can't I ?

  10. Google ? on A9.com with Syndicated Search · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I can't wait until Google does the same caus' I'd like to use this featrue to evaluate some of my client's sites popularity, day after day.

  11. Re:PVR is... on What's Next At Apple · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am not sure the Mac mini has a Gb network interface either.

  12. Re:PVR is... on What's Next At Apple · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not sure these hard disc exist in such a form factor... IIRC, the current limit for this model is 100GB. You'd better use an external FW unit.

  13. Apple and Orange on What's Next At Apple · · Score: 4, Funny

    Orange Telecom's motto is "The future is bright, the future is Orange" so, who's right ?

  14. Re:US in trouble ? on South Korean Gov't. Advocates Linux · · Score: 2

    Excuse me, Herr 99, but I thought it was IBM whose assets are much more important than Microsoft.
    Of course, they're more R&D than Microsoft (who also produce hardware - consoles, mice) but I guess very few companies that size would only rely on software.

  15. Re:US in trouble ? on South Korean Gov't. Advocates Linux · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Oops, I meant not in but from Dollars to Euros.
    And no, it was not meant to be a flamebait but just a question.

  16. US in trouble ? on South Korean Gov't. Advocates Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Last month, they converted some of their assets in dollars, now they are getting away from USA's most fortunate software company ?
    Is there some policy here ?

  17. Re:What the N really stands for... on MS, EU Agree on Name for Windows Sans Media Player · · Score: 2, Funny

    Thanks, I thought it stood for Netscape or for Napoleon !

  18. pricing ? on MS, EU Agree on Name for Windows Sans Media Player · · Score: 1

    We've got its ...erm... "name" but what about its PRICE ?
    How much cheaper will it be if I have to make an offer for a corporate client (who'll obviously be happy not to get the Media stuff) ?

  19. Re:Bof... on Yahoo Fights Back in Battle With Google · · Score: 1

    No, it recently became limited to Free's subscribers but they have NOT closed the numerous accounts I opened prior to these limitations and I bet they'll reopen to 3rd party customers soon or late as they need the variety only such conditions may offer.

  20. Re:Bof... on Yahoo Fights Back in Battle With Google · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not FREE (as in beer) !
    Compare withg the biggest French ISP where you get what I describe for free...

  21. Bof... on Yahoo Fights Back in Battle With Google · · Score: 1

    I guess the one who'll win will be the first to offer at least one GB with MySQL and PHP so that we can install our WordPress or DotClear ourselves instead of using their home made products...

  22. +1$ Symbolic... on Large Prize Offered For Writing Mac Virus · · Score: 1

    I'll also symbolicly offer $1 to each of the virus writers and I invite the faithful others to do the same ! :)

  23. Such players... on Microsoft's Tips for Buying an MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    ...are all the hype nowadays ; as Microsoft don't make their own, they have to be present another way ; by making their software more compatible with it, by having their own shop, by having some hardware vendor selling one tailored after their specifications...
    Anyway, they could not stand 100% against theiPod as it already gained the public acceptance as "teh coolest".

  24. Re:Research Costs on NASA Unveils Centennial Challenges · · Score: 1

    They're looking for lucky people who inadvertently would make such discoveries.
    Remember Newton and apples ? Edison and his kite ? Pain and vapour ?

    It makes it worth trying to observe and analyze more.

  25. transmitting power wirelessly on NASA Unveils Centennial Challenges · · Score: 0

    Send the batteries via snail mail :)

    or... more seriously... what about some thunder like system ?
