  5. Re:What happens when it crashes. on A.I. Helicopter? · · Score: 1

    nope : a gyroscope : if the helicopter stops being +-45 horizontal, then the back rotor stops and a parachute opens in the tail.

  6. Re:What happens when it crashes. on A.I. Helicopter? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They might equip it with a parachute, IMHO.
    If not at present, probably before mass-producing these.

  7. Re:Hmmm.... on SETI@Home Expanding Goals With Sun's Help · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Java has one key advantage over assembler: it runs everywhere.

    Should they open their client's specs, they'd get a lot of coders who'd port it to any platform.

    Using Java because it's open is a bad idea, especially when there's no patent involved.

  8. Ambiguous subject on SETI@Home Expanding Goals With Sun's Help · · Score: 1

    So they are now looking for help in order to find those farting solar E.T.s ???

    If this is not the inventor of the plane, I do not know what this is.

  12. Re:Another MP3 tagging library.... on Cultured Perl: Fun with MP3 and Perl, Part 1 · · Score: 1

    On the OSX side, iTunes is just magic, you have very little work to perform when it comes to renaming files after tags or to tag files after their names.

  14. Re:I cannot believe this on Miramax C&Ds Kung Fu Movie Reviewer · · Score: 1

    They're adding a rap soundtrack to Shaolin Soccer and cutting a good portion of the film

    What about the real thing ?
    Couldn't they just keep it as it is ?

    And BTW, have you heard of "Monsoon wedding" ?

    the other crap
    Well, as perceived from Europe, "Hero" had was outstanding bith in terms of picture and storytelling : not just another blockbuster. IMHO, it was the best picture of 2003, ex-aequo with Devdas, an Indian "opera".

    You'll understand if you watch the Chinese army hailing...

    About "Shaolin soccer", I have to say it was really funny, but of course, soccer doesn't seem as popular in America as in Europe...
    (I personally don't like to watch soccer but the movie made it quite enjoyable)

  17. I cannot believe this on Miramax C&Ds Kung Fu Movie Reviewer · · Score: 5, Informative

    I was in San Francisco in September and I bought the Hero DVD in Chinatown !
    (I also got a French subtitled version of Shaolin Soccer one year and a half ago !?)
    How can Miramax be *that* late and how can they ignore that one may find these DVDs in Chinese shops ?

  18. 90 minutes of crap/month ? on Free IBM Computers For UK Households · · Score: 1

    later they'll get free pc+verybroadband provided they watch 57minutes of add per hour.

    if you do not believe me, then you obviously got used to watching to 5 minute ad breaks every 2 clips on vh1 classic.

    just say NO to ads, it's to intrusive not to damage your conscience.
