  1. Re:Best Director on LoTR Takes 4 Oscars · · Score: 1

    true, and Peter Jackson even directed and played in his own movie, like Bad Taste

  2. scientology should be illegal on Scientology Uses DMCA to Delist Critic's Website · · Score: 1

    I think it's time to class the scientology a "dangerous sect", like it's defined in France or other country in Europe, especially in Germany where tom cruise and travolta's movies are not really welcome...

  3. astalavista? on Google's Weakness, AltaVista's Strength · · Score: 1

    I didn't use much of altavista for years... each time I want to type it in my address bar, I type "astalavista"... maybe because I search for special things :)

  4. old? on Using Tables as Speakers · · Score: 1

    I remember maybe 20 years ago, in a big catalog in France like "La Redoute" (equivalent to Sears), they were selling stuff like this to put on your wall, basically a big magnet like a standard speaker, but the wall act as a membran to vibrate...

  5. Re:The 13. on 13 Nominations to Rule Them All · · Score: 2, Interesting

    3. Director (Peter Jackson)

    he never had this nomination for Bad Taste :o)
    what's funny is on the original cover, the alien has only ONE finger up, not two like the US cover.
    see the true cover here

  6. Bad Taste on Review:Fellowship of the Ring · · Score: 1

    when you think that Peter Jackson is the same one who made the movie Bad Taste, it's kind of different budget :o)
    I saw Bad Taste in theater in 1988 iirc and it's was very funny!!! I think because of LOTR a special edition of Bad Taste will be on DVD, so if you never saw it, go buy/rent it to have fun!!!

  7. all your base are belong to us on Great points in Usenet history · · Score: 1

    the first reference to AYBABTU is at http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&newwindow=1& selm=lrp55s0q3p5rvthg0hbm3puti49m5tecjm%404ax.com dated 1999/12/11, but the guy does not put a valid email address :)
    and the lameness filter does not want to accept the link, so cut and paste

  8. a nice little light you plug on USB for your lappy on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 1
  9. a 100inch TV for 10 dollars :) on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 1

    which has been discussed on /. before, more info at http://broch.subnet.dk/projector/start.htm

  10. Re:a common path on How Did You Become a UNIX Administrator? · · Score: 1

    hummm I did it the other way, I have a master in "unix system and network", but I have always like to code, so now i'm more a programmer than a sysadmin, but I do 35h/w, no pager the sunday morning saying "the system crashes" etc, better!

  11. well, it's not new on ATI Drivers Geared For Quake 3? · · Score: 1

    the driver for the good old PowerVR PCX1 card (like the Matrox M3D) had this abilities to detect the name of the .exe then turn on or off some optimizations
    just take a look at this apps for example which do the same things than the driver.

  12. Re:As long as there are no X10 ads... on Slashdot Updates · · Score: 1

    you know, I have blocked *.x10.com for more than a year on my PC, and I never seen an ad for their tiny camera!
    same things for the big ad square, I block a lot of ads sites, so I never see them.

  13. don't know if it's the same guy... on FTC Shuts Down 'Pop-Up Trapping' Sites · · Score: 1

    but www.gamcopyworld.com and www.taghuer.com both points to sex site...
    I know I mispelled them some times ago and restet them

  14. one... on Where is Largest Linux Desktop Install? · · Score: 1

    a debian machine on my desk, everything is windows in the company, except firewall/web server etc which are FreeBSD
    On my desktop I also have a win machine, a BeOS one, a debian one, a SCO one, a QNX4 one, a QNX6 one. I am a OS whore :)

  15. Re:Strek Trek? on Star Trek: Enterprise Premieres Tonight · · Score: 1

    Obviously, since nobody in Europe's ever heard of Star Trek (an American television show, for those of you wondering)

    are you kidding?!? Star Trek 60s was on TV in europe in the 70s and after, I have seen in France the 60s series maybe 10 times between 70s and 90s!!! And I have seen 5 star trek movies in theater in France also

  16. iran website hacked on More Links And Updates On Terrorist Attacks · · Score: 1

    this site ministry of interior has been hacked

  17. MediaCloQ protection on Record Companies Sued Over Charley Pride CD · · Score: 1

    just searching on google for mediacloq brings a lot of articles (1450), so it does not seems to be a fair new system?

  18. and about BeIA on Sony Axes eVilla, Offers Refund · · Score: 2

    Palm has no plan to continue development of BeIA as reported by cnet

  19. Re:Not many systems support it? on IPv4 vs IPv6: The Road Ahead · · Score: 1

    Yes, the same!!! remember Trumpet Winsock 2.0f or 3.0d, now they have IPv? since version 5 I think, not bad, seems a fast stack etc

  20. Re:Not many systems support it? on IPv4 vs IPv6: The Road Ahead · · Score: 2, Informative

    every win32 system can have IPv6 for months using Trumpet TCP/IP stack, even win98, not "only" nt/2k that have ipv6 support from M$ also.

  21. Re:Miniscule possibility of Abuse on Carnivore Goes Wireless · · Score: 2

    reminds me Robocop... which has better laws

    1 - serve the public trust
    2 - protect the innocent
    3 - uphold the law
    4 - classified :o)

  22. does AIDS drugs really wok? on Brazil Breaks Patent to Make AIDS Drug · · Score: 1

    I know there's some drugs so the patient will suffer less, or feel better, but in fact it does not *cure* AIDS no?
    I just hope the day a true cure will be found, it will not be patented, so everyone in the world will be able to take it for 1$.

  23. Re:*sigh* on Brazil Breaks Patent to Make AIDS Drug · · Score: 2

    so you should agree that patent the human genome is a Bad Thing(tm)? How can people, especially R&D of pharma companies, try to patent a thing like this? which is not a gadget nor invention nor IP, it's like patent on software or mathematics or "technology to put a hyper link in a text so when you click on it you go on another page" or the 1-click patent, shame... You have to fight the patent office, nothing else.

  24. "guilty until proven innocent" on Convicted by the Movie Cops · · Score: 1

    In France, for a couple of years now, it's "innocent until proven guilty", and it's far better for people. There's some US laws that looks "strange" for non US people you know! It seems in the US the company/profit/dollar is more important than people rights...

  25. 150 feet? on Will 802.11 Kill Bluetooth? · · Score: 1

    What can I use if I want more than that, say a range of about 20 miles? What kind of technology/speed is available? I think Spread Spectrum can not work for this, no?
