  2. Re:Lots of extra Tolkien language info on Writing with Elvish Fonts · · Score: 1

    I agree with Joren on that one.. the Ardalambion is one of the (if not THE) best reference in terme of the Languages of Tolkien. The Quenya course given there is a 371pages PDF file that include lot of 'meat'. I'm personnaly trying too pass thtough all of it (I'm at page 191!) and I must say that you some willpower in your study to pass trough it.

    BTW as said in the course Quenya is NOT a language that contain enough material for us to be able to speak it fluently.. but is a good language for writing poem & song.

  4. KISS on What Makes a Good Web Design? · · Score: 1

    Never forget thet "KISS" Keep it Simple, Keep it Stupid.

    A good website have those feature:
    - Appealing
    - Simple
    - good content
    - Fast
    - Not overload

    I know it can be fun tro try new technology or soime 'coo' feature, but remeber that a good website doesn't need a heavy Java Applet that do a 'water reflect' of a pic. Keep your site user friendly.. and alway do a 'light' version of it. Example a HTML link to 'Skip' a flash intro.

    Never assume for your visitor. If you use IE/Netscape it doesn't mean that all your visitor will.

    Remember KISS the Web !

  7. There is too kind of people... on the net on Yahoo! Launches Pay-Per-Search · · Score: 1

    First those who are (like the /. readers) the advanced one.. those who don't pay as they know where to find freeware and only pay for what doesn't exist elsewhere...

    The other group of people is those withour experience of the net. Those who will pay for a service like that on yahoo as they are lost on google or they don't know it exist...

    Internet business is not to make money from the geek.. but for the 'normal' people...

  8. We spot one... how many we didn't see? on Another Asteroid Close Call · · Score: 1

    I found this funny. Yes a Asteroid has pass close to earth.. But how many have past that close or closer in the past 5000 years withour us to see as we didn't had the technology for it?

    I don't believe this news is new, it's just something that we see that we where not able to see. The danger is not bigger it had always had been the same (exept maybe if some stellar happen...).

  13. Re:Mis-informed (?) on Online e-Commerce Issues w/ PayPal? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm the Lead Programmer at a adult service provider. We are selling our service online with credit card processing (not paypal) and cause of a LARGE ammount of fraud we have develop a new system for user who want to buy more then X amount of $ per month. They give us their bank name and phone.. we call the bank and verify if the address, phone, name they provide us correspond... if they do we authorised them for a unlimited account...

    This is a good way but NEVER do we ask for bank account Infos... we don't need their bank acocunt or anything.. only the bank name and phone...

    I don'T know what PayPal ask from their user but they shouldn't ask more.. and for their merchant.. they need their bank account to transfert the money in the account !!!

    [Note: I'll not post the URL of our site as I'm sure that not all /. readser or +18 !]
