    That will be nice...
    English people crossing the Channel to buy ethanol based liquids, and French to buy storage...

  2. Re:Les �ditions Albert Ren� on Slashback: Riftiness, Ixianism, Eclipse · · Score: 1

    And moot points shouldn't be discussed?
    What's left, then?

  3. Re:Les �ditions Albert Ren� on Slashback: Riftiness, Ixianism, Eclipse · · Score: 1

    And, as far as I recall, Shakespeare wrote "damnéd", which does not mean you should... What was correct centuries before can be incorrect today, languages aren't static...

    Apart from that, being able to do something doesn't you should do so... (But, I just wanted to *try*, how could I know it might destroy the World? (Err... nevermind))

    And no, not *all* good typography manuals tell that the accents on capitals issue is clear...

  4. Re:Les �ditions Albert Ren� on Slashback: Riftiness, Ixianism, Eclipse · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmm... No....
    You shouldn't put an accent on a capital letter...
    But, alas, this particular mistake seems to be spreading a lot...
    *snif!*

  5. Re:Wow, the implications on 10-Gigabit Ethernet Standard Approved · · Score: 1

    Bandwidth isn't the main problem for sharing ram, in fact... Latency is more troublesome...
    And designing an efficient cache coherency method for concurrent access, etc, etc...

  6. Re:about that No Doubt mp3... on Spoofing P2P Networks as Marketing Plot · · Score: 2, Funny

    And the whole Art of Fugue is even worse... Not a single word in it...
    Bach must be have been a really bad composer...

  7. Re:our morality on Artificial Inteligence Common Sense Database · · Score: 1

    But then you could just steal its code and implement it in wetware, and you'd be done...

  8. Re:Incorrect statement on Moshe Bar on Programming, Society, and Religion · · Score: 1

    Actually, we scientifically don't know. because we have not actually witnessed it. Err... No... Witnessing an event doesn't really make it scientific knowledge. You do not have any way to ensure the correctness of the sensory input you receive... And actually, your hypothesis about the world genesis suppose a greater amount of constraints than the Big Bang one, hence it is *less* correct...

  9. Re:What? on Moshe Bar on Programming, Society, and Religion · · Score: 1

    Special treatment for Slashdot... Way to go!

  10. Re:Sicilian Suspension Bridge... on Sicilian Suspension Bridge to Go Ahead · · Score: 1

    Err...
    Steel is used for that kind of structures because it will bends without breaking...
    Anyway, you should expect a three kilometer long and more than a metre of diameter cylinder of steel to be quite heavy... if you attach only the two extremities, chances are it wil not retain its shape...

  11. Re:A brilliant idea! on MMORPGs Matrix and Star Wars · · Score: 1

    The AI just suck...

  12. Re:Beards and UNIX and Jedi on Alan Cox talks about laws... and Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    Easy one...
    If Jedi were born with a beard, they would be too easy to spot, and the Empire (or whatever the arch-enemy is at that time) could eliminate them without any trouble...

  13. Re:So let me see if I understand this... on Slashback: Counterstrike, Identification, Patenxtortion · · Score: 1

    He wouldn't have been a forgotten nobody in any case, he has already been the bad guy in politics for decades, you know... And his ideas have been recognized as overtly fascist and racist since about the same amount of time... And quite well known by everybody in France, too...
    Going to the second round of election might have made him known some more abroad, but I can assure you that it didn't change the opinions of people about him here...
    The protests were mostly over-reacting, he never had a single chance of being elected in the first place, not even of having a significant share of the votings, protests or not...

  14. Re:How about 7 languages? on Quadrilingual Crazy Programming · · Score: 1

    But writing in Befunge or Brainfuck only is enough a challenge already...

  15. Re:This is really nonsense. on Another Reason to be Annoyed by Cell Phones · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hmm...
    You can't just the compare the powers... The frequency range is really important...

  16. Re:Nothing New on On Hacktivism · · Score: 1

    It night be good for coffee stains, but definitely not for dust...

  18. Re:Why Yahoo? on Deutsche Bahn to Sue Google · · Score: 1

    It is powered by Google's search engine, yes, but it does not use the same database...
    Engine != data.

    Look at hit stats on a website, their crawler addresses differ...

  19. Re:Try to use known problems on Measuring Gravity in Your Basement · · Score: 1

    No...
    you'd measure g, not G...

  20. Re:Google is Great on Google Releases an API for Their Database · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Err... Since Yahoo! uses the google engine, it is not that surprising that some features are in common...

  21. Re:Wow, investigative reporting on CNN Says Chat Rooms Are a Haven for Hackers · · Score: 2, Funny

    What?
    To get CNN hacked?
    You really think they are that dumb?

  22. Re:X-Box 1.0 is naturally bad on PS2 Vs. X-Box: Winner Emerging? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey, no!
    You are trying to imply that the naming scheme would be consistent aren't you? (not that I find 3.11, 95, 98, ME, XP inconsistent, but, still...)

  23. Re:How about MS-DoS on DoS Attacks Persisting, On The Rise · · Score: 1

    What about IBM's purely coincidental DoS?

  24. Re:who ever said it was? on Unix Isn't Dead · · Score: 1

    Yes, IIS on UNIX, using Wine, of course...

  25. Re:Poor design....go figure on Bad Review for the Zaurus · · Score: 1

    Allow me to be opinionated for a minute. It appears that this device suffers from the same problem that a lot of distros suffer from...poor or even NO user interface design. I can't quite figure out why people that are working on linux continue to ignore the fact that real people might actually try to use some of their creations...not just gear-head alpha geeks.

    So, say I code something because I either need it or find it a fun thing to do. I happen to release it under [insert your favourite Open Source license here] and you download it, but alas the UI does not fit you.
    I happen to find UI design something utterly uninteresting and painful to do, so why should I be the one to do that for you? Either do it yourself or find someone that shares your views on usability (For me, a good program is one I can pipe with others) and has the technical skills to do so, but please, complaining about it won't help much...
    Call me elitist if you want, but...
