  1. Re:Wrong assumptions and stuff... on The Mystery Of Star Wars Galaxies · · Score: 1

    I don't know about "my profession". _I_ make tons of money. If other tailors have a problem making money, they should do something else ...

  2. Re:Wrong assumptions and stuff... on The Mystery Of Star Wars Galaxies · · Score: 1

    Well i think playing this kind of game like diablo is boring. You'd better play diablo if that's what you're into.
    There are LOTS of other things to do in SWG, and many way to kill monsters ...

  3. Re:I say the exact opposite. on Improving CS Education? · · Score: 1

    the problem with teaching asm in school is that it's way easier to blow the system (most of our puters run windows ...) !! You don't want your students to reboot all the time when doing applications. Same stuff with pointers, forget to allocate memory and you're crashed.

  4. how could that happen? who gets the money? on France To Tax Blank Computer Media · · Score: 1

    What's fun with this law is that there was a talk between the guys who wanted cd's to be taxed and the guys that were supposed to protect consumers. The problem is those were taken from right wing activists (such as 'famille de france', christians activists) and feminists ..... Now let's see what the law is, there is a tax on cdr and dvd, based on the recording time and the kind of data (yes, if you say you bought an audio cd-r, you'll pay more than a data cd-r !!!!). And of course the money goes to the record industry, while it's only 15% of the piracy (you can buy a lot of cd's instead of a copy of photoshop 6) ..... Blah!

  5. Re:what about... on "D-VHS": Will it replace DVD? · · Score: 1

    well dv tapes are magnetic but hold digital data, making it very stong to degradation over time.

  6. international robot competition on U.S. First 2001 Competition Begins · · Score: 2

    for those interested in that kind of things there is a large scale robotic competition (with fully autonomous robots). Engineers schools and universities are the competitors, and it's mainly based in europe, but the world finals include MIT and some japan schools i think. The only site i know of is there (little english flag top left of the page) : http://anstj.mime.univ-paris8.fr/~robot/concours/2 000/coupe/france/

  7. Re:Back to Basics? on Yahoo! Now On France's Minitel System · · Score: 1

    my point is that a guy comes to my grandmother's house, plug the thing and she knows how to use it right now ... looks like you don't know a lot of people never used computers. And of course communication is expensive, (about 10$/hours for the widely used 3615) but terminal is free and you get what you want way more easily than on the internet. And am sorry some didn't understand that another meaned other than windows instead than other than the one i'm using.

  8. Re:Back to Basics? on Yahoo! Now On France's Minitel System · · Score: 1

    it's not about holding to their roots, it's about having a free terminal that won't crash instead of the last P3 with Windows ME (TM) ... A lot of people want to use ecommerce without having to learn how to live with a buggy os, or how to use another os.
