in the university in May 1991, the sysadmin called a few students to demonstrate the web with Mosaic 0.9 or something like that, on his X workstation, we went on the Hawaï university site, and the CERN, and some others. At this moment almost all we had was 80x25 text console, doing irc, gopher, rn, etc, and we were wondering what the heck is this graphical stuff that will suck our bandwidth!!! --
9am to noon
1pm to 5pm
monday to friday
I don't do overtime, as I'm paid for 25h even if I make 40 (or 30:o)
BTW I live 5 minutes from home, so it's pretty cool!
My job is network and unix engineer, but most of my work is coding (C on QNX) and I like that

On board will be the first ever Canadien Astronaut
Not really the first canadian astronaut, there was some even before the challenger explosion in 86... Even a canadian woman have flight in the shuttle last year.
However this will be the first Canadian that will go out of the shuttle, in space, this is a first one. --
We had exactly the same things at my university, It ran big HP server, Mac, and lots of PC with Windows ; system engineers of the university didn't want a simple linux machine on their whole network, but agreed for a full room of FreeBSD PC machine. --
Doubleclick is reputed to have amazingly accurate profiles of nearly every American household with internet access.
For "normal" user yes certainly, but all of us here usualy optout, or you can have some cookies filter.
Anyway I don't know really if optout works, as they could use your IP address to collect info on website you go. Anyway I use 127.0.0.1 for doubleclick.net:) --
by PC you mean Personal Computer or "compatible PC"? Because Lisa was made by Apple...
My first computer was a Sinclair ZX81, my first PC was a 386SX16 1Mb/40Mb:o) --
Quebec government help poor people also, every family that receive money for childrens, can have a 500$ discount on a PC, and 75% off for internet connection for 2 years
That means when you go to the computer store, you take a 700$ PC and pay only 200$, the remain is paid by the gvt, and for ths ISP, a 20$/month cost only 5$/month, pretty good. --
it's not a valid yahoo URL, does Yahoo think they own the url laws or domains or whatever? If i make a mistake in a URL i want a DNS error, not a yahoo error!
I know it's egroupS, but before yahoo came, both egroup.com and egroups.com worked. --
i never used yahoo as a search engine, i don't like it... I have used lycos 5 years back, then alltheweb.com, then google since it exists.
Yahoo took all the webring.org stuff and made shit with it, now it's the turn of egroups... after onelist.com going to egroups.com, now i go to yahoogroups.com... WTF? I want to use a diversity of sites!!! --
I "surf" the net for almost 10 years, and I clicked less than 10 times on a banner in my life, so it's one click per year...
I sometimes click some banners on site like/. or bebits or benews or whatever site to make them some cash, to support them and their good site, but I never read the ad, I close it. On "big" site, I never clicked a banner. --
actually, I can find blank CD in Dollarama, for 1$, or at Future Shop, 10 memorez CD for 8.99$ (all canadian dollars), so I'll buy some before the taxe --
No, France is the most beautiful country, there's lot of place, very different, mountains, beach, forest, etc.
Of course Paris sucks a lot, not for tourism, but for work, too much pollution, traffic jam, and people there sucks. I worked 6 months in south suburd, horrible. But each night I went to Paris (by RER, took 35 minutes) to visit and have fun.
Forget big cities like Paris and their 17 millions people with the suburd, forget Lyon, forget Marseille, forget Lille, but you may find others cities very pleasant, like Grenoble, Montpellier, or Nancy (lot of CS here, check http://www.loria.fr)
--
like 1-900-ENCOEUR for example.
If you want to find good "name" for your telephone number, try http://www.phonespell.org/ it's pretty funny and works well. --
The product we sell at work is based on a SBC (Single Board Computer) running a AMD K6-2 300MHz, it's enough for our product, and cheaper than an intel. --
it happens to me also, check on thegeek the post about spock's ear to be sold at christies for example, it has been rejected here, and accepted at the geek --
I know, too bad it was in an accident... imagine it could happen to anyone here in the "famous" guy like linus, rms, or whoever...
with winter coming and ice on road (well, in canada), we must be careful --
