  1. Re:I hate the Apple ][... on Celebrating 26 Years of the Apple ][ · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, we, former Acorn users, would not like being given the impression we are as much cursed as our Amiga fellows. :-/
    Acorn is dead, RiscOS is not that well : seeing the most recent RiscOS computers can be emulated at full speed on a Celeron is just another evidence I had to switch to OSX...

    Well, even the first Acorn BBC computer was quicker, despite its use of the same chips . :)

  3. On the other hand... on Ballmer Sends Wakeup Call to Staff · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This could be the announcement of a new dotcomboom :

    The bigggest software company of the world just admits being stalled.

    It's high time small development structures came with new things in order to convince the investors to empty their pockets.

    Now, if we consider Microsoft's usual tendency to buy interesting startups, then the above-mentioned investors will for sure be there to re-sell them their shares.

    Or, of course, I could be dreaming but I hope not : I have some nice new software concepts for sale :-)

  6. Re:Why? on Palm to Buy Handspring · · Score: 1

    handsprping may still be handspring
    not sure : if Handspring remains, their price will drop due to the lower PalmOS license fee, so the Palm may even sell less.

  7. obvious and sad answer on Palm to Buy Handspring · · Score: 5, Funny

    So what gets dropped

    Half of the staff. :-/

  8. Re:Mozilla ? on Gentoo Offers PPC LiveCDs · · Score: 1

    Well, I know it wasn't running, I am typing this from a Mac.
    I was just wondering about the need for this program in an emulated environment.

  9. Mozilla ? on Gentoo Offers PPC LiveCDs · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Take a look at the KDE LiveCD running MacOS X in a window via Mac on Linux.

    what's the point of having Linux running KDE, running OSX running Mozilla (see task bar) ???
    I thought there already was Mozilla for Linux ?

  10. Other possibility on Ripping from Vinyl, Simplified · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I personnally enjoyed the way this guy rips vinyls: by scanning them !

  12. Re:Looks interesting... on First Look at YellowTAB's Zeta · · Score: 5, Informative

    So, Be fans, what makes BeOS so special?
    I used to code for BeOS : the API was stunningly easy to learn.

    I only found such pleasure with the Zaurus Qt API... a long, long time later.
    (BTW, I've also heard that AtheOS was similarly "coder-friendly")

  13. "Fortunately" ??? on Chinese Moon Base by 2012 - or 2006? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Why should this be considered a problem if non-US people plan to get to the Moon ?
    I thought this was like Antartic : a Free (as in... uh?) place.

  14. Re:torrentse.cx on Ask Bram Cohen about BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    What is also very surprising is that this 404 page appears in French in my browser !

    Did nobody else notice this is a troll which refers to the goatse.cx web site ??? :-D

  16. RTOS ? on Sony Announces a Super Playstation 2, the "PSX" · · Score: 1

    So, is this the impressive calculator Sony once told about before releasing the PS2 ?
    Does it only come with games or will there be "productivity apps" ?
    How many MIPS does it have ?
    Will it fairly contribute to either SETI@home or any other distributed.net project ?

  17. stupid question on Kazaa Says On Track to Be Most-Downloaded Program · · Score: 1

    and how many times was Kazaa downloaded using Kazaa ?

  21. MyAirMail.com on Is There Room for an IM only Device ? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Some years ago, my bro'in law was vp at Vodafon.
    He showed me their latest product : MyAirMail.
    It was exactly the same thing as mentioned above except that it would send and receive real emails and be 4-times smaller.

    So, is there a market for this new im device when there has already been such products in the past ?

  22. what about... on Making Change · · Score: 1

    what about asking these fscking marketers to drop their psychological price philosophy and sell things for 1$ instead of 99 cents ???

  23. reminds me... on Electrolux Robot Vacuum Cleaner · · Score: 1

    do this robot also tap one's back, when he's coughing because of the flying dust ?

    I hope metamods will fix this, otherwise, I predict some further trolling against this buggy "ubiquitous" way of thinking :
    90% of the Americans (the ones who don't read slashdot, work hard or are dying to, the ones who starve, the ones who don't have access to the money your lobbyist leader gather, the ones who just wish their voice could be as loud as French workers'voices) surely agree with me.

    And yes, for the record, I am French, this is the reason why I have the right to criticize my own country.
    So : MERDE, Lord Slepnir de mes fesses : come and get my hand if your face if you dare.
