  1. Re:This article brought to you .... on Radiation Not As Hazardous As Once Believed · · Score: 1

    I recall such a method with a high % of recycling, but afaik it needs special kinds of reactors that do not seems to exist for now (or at least not as energy production means ) ... anyone can correct me on this point ? And anyone have the name of the technology ?

  2. Re:Leakage? on Capacitors to Replace Batteries? · · Score: 1

    Holding charge for yars, i don't know, but days for sure ... I still feel the pain ...

    Pretty !

  4. Re:Mod parent troll on France to Legalize File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Well, if you've gone here ONLY for business, chances are low that you met the kind people ... And if you gone in Paris for business, its even worse ... Parisians, you see, that are often seen as snobs, as you said, even from a French point of view...

    And may be Frenches have hard time staying kind with Amercian people seeing how hard we were ( are ? ) bashed by American medias ?

    Finally, about the Oil stuff : ther's a difference between the politics from a country, and the people living in this country.

    Because GWB is a jerk does not imply that all Americans are. ( excepted media's people ? )

    ( btw : excuse my English ... )

  5. Re:Linux File System? on Using the Real ntfs.sys Driver Under Linux · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Cannot figure if it's a joke or what ...

    In case it's not :
    Linux can, but generally do not run using FAT32.
    It can read and write on such FAT32 file systems, but generally Linux runs using filesystems like Ext2, Ext3, ResierFS, and so on, most of them being journalized.

    Just my 0.0002

  6. Re:Whoopie. on Intel Pushes Pentium 4 Past 3 GHz · · Score: 1

    I think that Intel WANTS everything to be done by the processor, so that they can sell their more-and-more powerfull proc. This is surely a reason why USB ( intel specs ) trafic uses mostly central processor, and FireWire do not.

  7. Re:Much of this is because of the Stock Market on Managing Your Company To Death · · Score: 1

    "And I assert that anything that pisses off both the Republicans and Democrats cannot be a bad thing."

    Well, this depends if you want your idea to be aplicated or not ... If everyone is pissed, they won't apply it ?!

    This reminds me the 'Tobin' tax, that looks to be just a good idea, but is also this kind of good ideas that piss off 'Capitalist nobles'

    Well ...

  8. nALFS ? on LFS 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised that nobody mentionned nALFS :

    For me, LFS hand building processus is tedious. What mainly interesting for me in LFS is the minimal linux system you've got AFTER installing and rebooting. Compiling by hand, while effectively technically interesting, turn soon to boring for me, so i did my last LFS ( 3.3 ) installation using nALFS, and i'll never change even for a free (THWACK)

    nALFS used with installwatch gave me what i finished to consider my best distro ..
    Honest, i since installed an MDK and the last stable debian, and found me rebooting more than often on the LFS partition. Thing are so simple here. There's one editor, one window manager, the library there is there because I wanted it to be there : a question of taste, i like this.

    nALFS :

    For installwatch, i remember to have read an 'hint' somewhere on LFS site, or may be IN the doc packege, dont remember

  9. Re:Ugh on Game Boy Advance Arrives · · Score: 1

    If someone refuse to sell a car you want to buy, and if you steal the car, the car's owner have now NO car.

    A car is an OBJECT that cannot be copied as numerical data can be.

    If a software company refuse to sell their old games, and if you make an ( illegal ) copy of this game, the company have lost NOTHING, as they do not want to sell this game.
    Giving hard bounds to such comportments is hard( this is right, this is not ).

    Sure i've hard time trying to find were the pain is when 'piracy' concern no-more-sold games.

  10. Re:They should pull out of France on Yahoo! Now On France's Minitel System · · Score: 1

    Or maybe you are intelligent enough to realise that France is too stupid to learn anything.
    Hmmm... THIS really add to the discussion. Do we really need such dump posts ? ( see also the first one, not bad either)

  11. Re:lower end on New 3D Cards On Slower PCs · · Score: 1

    Sure ... My 180 mhz 48 Mb pentium sure is not that powerfull, but enough for almost everything.
    Just forget compiling KDE / Gnome, and play QIII at friend's home... That's what .deb and friends are for ?

  12. Re:In that case... on English, The Global Internet Language? · · Score: 1

    What about writing a bit in our own languages, just to see how many different languages are spoken by Slashdot readers ?

    Un peu de Français là comme ça. Curieux de voir combien de personnes vont écrire.

  13. Nedit low profile ? on Leading A Low-Profile Free Software Project · · Score: 1

    I don't think that NEdit is that 'low profile', as far as i know, NEdti is always the one comming after Emacs and Vi ( Vim ) when it comes to unix syntax higlighting editors ( not to speak about macro facilities )

    And with the growing 'I come from windows' people, NEdit here gain more and more users due to its ease of use.

    Low profile, NEdit ?? hrmm

  14. Re:Decent on GNU XFce 3.2.0 Desktop Now Available · · Score: 1

    You forgot to mention that if, as you said, it leaves out the eye candy , it can still be beautifull, while really lightweight... Perfect for my ol'P100

  15. Re:BFHD on USB2 Specs Are In · · Score: 1

    yes, when it comes to bad competition.

    Don't you think that we've seen too much good
    ideas/hardwares/softwares doomed by crappy-but-slighly-cheaper-and-better-marketed-hea vily-pushed variants?
    If Microsoft and Intel start to (and they will) tell the world how great USB2.0 is, how it will make Internet connections faster, games better, and so on, do you really think that average Joe user will tell himself "Sure, but i prefer FireWire 'cause i know it's better "

    This is not competition at all. I'm -really- fed up with lies of marketing. And afraid by the number of people who trust even the most obvious lie in an advert - i'm just thinking to the last PII campaign here in France, and how people started to sincerely think that those P had made their modem faster, their screen bigger, and their own creativity better ...

    Long live to FireWire
