  2. in Canada... on Why Do We Still Use Gasoline? · · Score: 2

    I read an article in a local newspaper this week, saying that price of natural gaz has doubled here in Québec/Canada... so i don't know if it's less expensive to use gaz instead of gasoline... I don't know Canadian gas company selling "GPL" (Gaz de Pétrole Liquéfié=Liquified Petrol Gas?) like in France, where there's bi-mode car that can run on GPL and normal gas.

  3. IE under Linux would be great! on Microsoft's IE 5.5 Flouts Industry Standards · · Score: 1

    I have used any kind of browser on a lot of platform for years, from Mosaic to N+. A lot of people here are right that IE5 is more stable and very very faster than Netscape to render page in windows, and it's sad but a lot of website actually looks better with IE, even those W3C compliant!
    And of course a lot of linux people says "microshit" IE is shit etc etc etc. but a lot never used it, they are just the "linux rulez, M$ suckz" community. But let me tell you that if IE were available for Linux/X11 like it is available for Solaris and HPUX iirc, maybe 86% of linux users would use it! it's not flamebait, it's just a truth... i use N+ under BeOS, Voyager2 under QNX, IE/Netscape/Opera in windows. And the best is IE period.

  4. he forgot BeOS on Second Coming of Technology · · Score: 1

    BeOS is far better than the latest MacOs X, and what about the file system? BFS used by BeOS is incredible, attributes of files can be of any types and size, you can add an attribute to a file which is an image for example, or text, or configuration. And you can queries attributes at the speed of light :)
    This guy does not know BeOS and should d/l the free R5 to test it.

  6. why not in space? on Ask Chris McKinstry About Giant Telescopes, Etc. · · Score: 1

    i think even if you spend 1 billion $ for a 100m aperture telescope on earth, that a e.g. 20m telescope in orbit will be better. Also i think that there's too much "competition" in the huge telescope market, we've got the GTC, the LBT, the SALT, the VISTA, the LAMOST, the DMT, the CELT, the XLT, the OWL, the LSST, the GSMT, the MAXAT, the ELT. Why? why not make only one bigger/better on earth, or even in space? the 2.4m HST proved the bettest scope is in space.

  13. BASIC of course on Best Way to Get Kids Started in Programming? · · Score: 1

    i have learned BASIC at 12 yo on a Sinclair ZX81, with the bundled manual, i never bought or use other books about BASIC. After i have continued BASIC on my Amstrad CPC6128, then started assembler (z80) using books of course. I had chance my Amstrad was running CPM+ (3.0) so i could use DBaseII and TurboPascal3, this is where i started to program in Pascal. When i had my PC is continued Pascal (tools were the same), then C and x86 asm, then Eiffel, then prolog, then then then...
    anyway to start, BASIC is the best, there's QBASIC.EXE on each win95/98 CDROM (maybe not 98SE i don't know?) in OLDMSDOS folder somewhere, with help.
