  4. Re:Just to be different! on French Government Bans Term 'E-Mail' · · Score: 1

    I have no idea where you heard this in Quebec but that's a bit hard to believe. Maybe if you are talking about Acadians, then I would have to agree with you with a touch of scepticism. I know that the people like to mix French and English together which reminds me of what we are, a growing culture. Appropriating the surrounding and making it our own. To some its ok, to other its 'un affront', to me its just plain dumb. Either you speak french or english, not 2 at the same time. Like my mother say, dont speak with your mouth full. I dont know what that means to this but hé, she's right!

  6. secrets, right... on U.S. Works Up Plans for Using Nuclear Arms · · Score: 1

    Ok, let me get this straight, the LA.Times gets a secret reports about a possible nuclear fiasco and no one smell trouble? I mean, how often does the LA Times gets secret reports? I wouldnt think something like this just leak its way out of congress just like that at this time.

But then again, Powell Says Secret Nuke Report Was Routine Planning accordings again to reuters. Where is the love?

  8. iF only I was leet0r then ... on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    If only some comments would actually change something @ slashdot then MAYBE I would pay, until then, why bother? Community? Well, in my understanding, a functional community is one that interact with its people. Did slashdot ever changed something towards it? Or maybe im actually posting this and some other news is catching up all the attention. Oh well, ... keep on surfing!

  9. theatre.perspective on Part One: Information Arts · · Score: 1

    Coming from an art "milieux" which is lighting design and well, as many of you might not know, we, the theater people, are often ask to integrate many side of the technologic world into this (theater) creative/collaborative art form. Since the beginning of theatre and its movement, we are touching to some extent into many side of technology and beneficiating from them, in order to grow to another level of the art form. This book might give or try to explain the relations from technology to art but I think, its been arround for quite sometimes now. Let me clarify myself, theatre were using bottle of wine and candle light when no other source of light had been invented yet, to create a mood or the use of sailors, in by that i mean, the theatre took from ships, the engineering, basically, the use of the pulley. Just to summarize my thought, its been arround but not as a social happening cause by techno geek. By the way, could you tell what is art?
