  1. Re:When will they learn on Non-banner Ads Coming to the Web · · Score: 1
    Perhaps what they should do is start looking at other means of advertising.

    Surely that is precisely what they are trying to do?

    There seems to be a slashdot mentality that all advertising is inherently wrong, and it is moral to take any steps to nullify any advertising that you may see. I think that this is not correct. I think that advertising is fundamental to the way that the internet has grown during the previous few years, and hopefully it will continue to grow with the money that advertising provides.

    Without advertising, even sites like this one here would not - could not survive. So, by anulling the effect of those adverts, more websites will be forced to close.

  2. Re:The French are paranoid about their culture on DVD Zoning Enforced In Law · · Score: 1
    Yes, we are fiercely proud of our national heritage. We have the most beautiful language - a good balance between a melifluous sound and expressiveness. None of that germanic harshness. It is a shame that we must defend it so vigorously against franglais abominations such as le weekend

    We have the best football team in the world (world cup 1998 and european cup 2000), and the best football player (zinadine zidane).

    We have the best literature, check out Moliere, for example.

    I could continue...

  3. Re:They should pull out of France on Yahoo! Now On France's Minitel System · · Score: 1

    I find your comment offensive. I dont think you need to be a jewish to think that nazi memorabilia is not good. Maybe its true that the judges should not have ruled this way. But for sure I think that French law should not give in to racists.

  4. Minitel rocks on Yahoo! Now On France's Minitel System · · Score: 2
    I love minitel. You yanks don't know what it is that you are missing. Minitel is the real information revolution that happened here in France well before the internet was anything other than a tiny network.

    Maybe its possible that you could learn something from this minitel homepage

  5. already visible from France on ISS Gets Wings · · Score: 1

    It's already visible in France right now. I have already seen it two times, and when it's december, it will become even more luminoux. You must look for it in the morning, quite near to the planet venus.
