  1. Thanks on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Thanks for helping me procrastinate all those years. /. literally defines my youth as a geek.

  2. Whoever has the license should revive Carmageddon on EA Looking Into Reviving Classic Games? · · Score: 1

    It was really fun and could be awesome with today's tech.

    (Maybe I'm sick ... :) )

  3. Re:AKA on EA Is Now Officially On Steam, Spore Loses SecuROM · · Score: 1

    Yeah because piracy is obviously not happening with DRM ...

    Maybe you are right but DRM is obviously not the good answer to the problem at hand.

  4. Re:Konsole on OSX! on KDE Goes Cross-Platform, Supports Windows and OS X · · Score: 1

    Take a look at Visor. It works exactly as you described and it has been opensourced at the same time as QuickSilver.

  5. Re:sourceforge? on Things To Download · · Score: 1
    I too thinks that trac is a really great piece of software.
    However I have tried the sfee free edition a couple of weeks ago and I was quite impressed :

    • First it has nothing to do with the sourceforge that we are used to (heck it's even a Java application !). It is far more beautiful and seemed to allow a lot more of micromanagement of tasks/responsibilities/workload/etc. (not that I like that but it can appeal to its target market).
    • the integration of SVN (or CVS) is quite good with, like trac, linking of commits to tasks (you can even force commits to be linked to tasks/tickets)
    • the distribution method of this free edition is really a great idea : it's a VMWare image and VMWare player is included in the download. This makes it really easy to test it and the performance is very nice. I think it could run in production this way without a problem. Trac should copy this and distribute a VMWare image too (and a DamnSmallLinux distribution too) including everything needed to run it.
  6. Re:It is not going to change his tax bill one bit on Bill Gates Donates $258 Million to Fight Malaria · · Score: 1

    Excuse me but looking at this I'm not sure if we could say that he doesn't sells much ... In relation to the shares he owns it's not much but it is a lot of money anyway !

  7. Re:Yes on When Would You Accept DRM? · · Score: 1

    Oh right because DRM is working so well today ...

    Can you point a DRM'd product that has any mass appeal and that is not on bittorrent within one hour ?

    DVDs ... no
    Music ... no
    Games ... no
    Software ... no
    What then ?

  8. Re:Do you trust your customer based? on When Would You Accept DRM? · · Score: 1

    In the case of the RIAA, they trust their customers just fine. It's the freeloaders they dislike.

    Last time I bought a CD and could not rip it or listen to it on my old cd player or in my car I did not felt like they trusted me a lot. Did you ?

  9. Re:Not a problem (yet) on SHA-1 Broken · · Score: 1

    That's the theory, if SHA-1 was broken, this might not be true anymore.

  10. Re:It will never see the light of market shelves . on The Cure for Cancer Might be: HIV · · Score: 1

    They would never allow any vaccine if they were that superficial ... I hope they just evaluate the benefit/risk ratio as they are supposed to.

  11. Re:Shush, they're on a roll on Linus Pooh-Pooh's Real-Time Patch · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but I think you're wrong.

    An RTOS has nothing to do with a low latency OS ...

    A low latency OS could respond to 99% of inputs in less than 2ns but for 1% in 50ns ... That is not Hard Realtime !

    A Realtime might only give you a 10ns latency BUT it will never give you more than 10ns ! That is what a realtime OS is about : Guaranteed response time.

  12. Re:I code C# for a living on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: 1

    Can somebody explain what you mean by the covariant and contravariant things ?

    I searched in wikipedia but algebra is quite far behind :)

    thanks

  13. Re:A spam arms race? on SpamAssassin 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    That's so great !

    Drug is a social problem so you respond with (more) laws and repressive action ?

    I'm happy I don't live in the same world as you...
    Wait...
    Fuck, I do !

    Answers to social problems are preventive action and removing the roots of the problem (if possible) not repressive laws that are just ignored by the real bad people.

    Short answer : yes

    However the opposite is not true without the consent of the contributors to the GPL code.

    RTFA, the thermal problems are precisely with the Prescott 3.6 and the P4 EE 3.4

  17. Re:The end of mailing lists? on Attention Bonds Gain Momentum · · Score: 1

    No it won't be a problem because when you subscribe to a free mailing list you will but the sender of it in your whitelist. So the sender will have nothing to pay.
    If you don't, the sender will have a policy to refuse all requested bonds so you won't get any mail from him.

  20. Somebody working on a similar webmail interface ? on Gmail in the News · · Score: 1

    Is there an open source project going on to implement a similar interface to gmail (I think labels are really a great idea) for the webmail of my server ? :)

    Ideally it would be able to use IMAP as its backend to stay compatible with other clients ... but it might not be easy to store label information in IMAP ...

    Anyway if somebody has a spare invite i'm really interested (trying is the best way to start implementing it if it's not already started)

    thanks

  21. Re:Attention to detail... on New PowerMac G5s: Up to 2.5Ghz, Liquid Cooled · · Score: 1

    I don't want to nitpick but two times quieter does NOT mean half as many decibels. It means 3 decibels less (it is precisely e less decibels but you get the point) as decibels are a logarithmic scale.

  22. Re:....Right.... on The Future of Cars According to Toyota · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I thought about this idea (one passenger car with a slave mode) a lot some time ago.

    I think the whole point is that everybody could have such a vehicle (it will have to be cheap enough). So for kids you will put the vehicle in slave mode only and it will follow the car of one of the parents until they have their driving license.

  24. Re:Qt is almost a like a language on A Taste of Qt 4 · · Score: 1

    Mmmm i think some .h files passed to moc actually can't be compiled by a normal compiler. the latter might choke on signal,slot and foreach (strange in a .h but who knows)

    To be literal, a preprocessor is just a dumb compiler whose output is a subset of its input. I think moc fall in this category quite well :)
