    Pascal?

    I'd rather kick Plutonium off the periodic table, just for consistency's sake...

  3. Re:It's nice to see..... on Canadian Public Radio Streaming Ogg Vorbis · · Score: 4, Informative

    Currently living in Canada, that's great to see. And as a French, I have to point out that Radio France public radios have been broadcasting in ogg for a little while now (that's 8 different radios).

  4. That reminds me... on Cooking for Engineers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That reminds me of the fabulous Chef programming language, where programs look like recipes.

    Here is the "Hello World Souffle" as an example:

    Hello World Souffle.

    This recipe prints the immortal words "Hello world!", in a basically brute force way. It also makes a lot of food for one person.

    Ingredients.
    72 g haricot beans
    101 eggs
    108 g lard
    111 cups oil
    32 zucchinis
    119 ml water
    114 g red salmon
    100 g dijon mustard
    33 potatoes

    Method.
    Put potatoes into the mixing bowl. Put dijon mustard into the mixing bowl. Put lard into the mixing bowl. Put red salmon into the mixing bowl. Put oil into the mixing bowl. Put water into the mixing bowl. Put zucchinis into the mixing bowl. Put oil into the mixing bowl. Put lard into the mixing bowl. Put lard into the mixing bowl. Put eggs into the mixing bowl. Put haricot beans into the mixing bowl. Liquefy contents of the mixing bowl. Pour contents of the mixing bowl into the baking dish.

    Serves 1.

  5. Re:Mouse Gestures In Opera on Opera 6.0 for Linux Released · · Score: 1

    Does Mozilla have similar gesture support? I thought I remember reading about that a while ago, but I haven't been able to find it.

    I don't know about Mozilla, but Galeon sure has them in version 1.2.x. I thought it would be a useless feature at first, but now I can't live without it.

  7. Don't forget VideoLAN on New IBM Linux Notebook Includes DVD Player · · Score: 3
    It's a nice DVD player that supports on the fly subtitles and language selection, that directly reads your DVD without having to mount it first, reads encrypted DVD (without using DeCSS), has multiple front-ends for different platforms.

    I don't know if it's "the best one" or not, but it's the only one I managed to compile AND make work, so I thought I'd mention it.

    More info on their web site.
