  1. Not surprising ! on No Future in American Science · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    In a country where scientific absurdity can be taught in school (creationism) it is not surprising that a scientific career does not appear very engaging to people with a clue.

  2. Made me think about Squeak on An Alternative Look for KDE · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It made me think about Squeak/Smalltalk except that in Squeak it is called flaps and when expanded they look like the standard kicker ie it takes all the width when the flap was attached to the bottom or top of the screen.

    The card idea is great !

  3. Re:That seems like a good idea at first, but... on Plugins for Microsoft Office for OpenOffice Documents? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They will use OpenOffice.org because it's free and i mean not expensive.

    To the public the more important thing is more 'free as in beer' than 'free as in speech'.

  4. Re:In praise of static on An Overview of the Boa Web Server · · Score: 1


    I agree that people often use dynamic pages because of the buzzword factor, not because it's the best. For instance, my web diary is only updated when I write something, not whenever somebody reads it. So a dynamic database solution would be just silly. I have a Python script to generate the HTML when I write the entries, and the server is Boa on a POS 486 running NetBSD. Slashdot that!


    Give us the URL so we can try !

  5. Re:Xft support? on Trolltech Releases Qt 3.1 · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's mentionned on the 3.1b1 Changelog near the end.

  6. Re:Chimera is still slow on Is Mac OS X Slow? · · Score: 2, Informative

    > XUL is slow. Hence, we have Phoenix, Galeon and Chimera.

    Actually Phoenix is written with XUL and it's lighnting fast so i would just say that full moz is bloatware (as it is intended) but not that XUL is slow.

  7. Paid to look at porn on Root Zone Changed · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yup see this article on k5 : Get Paid To Look At Porn !

  8. Re:What a rip-off! on Creating Applications with Mozilla · · Score: 1

    please read the site before posting shit.

    i have never tried it but it looks nice and very easy to use. And the desktop is free. they are only charging for their anywhere functionnality.

    the source code is even available under the name Penzilla

  9. Re:potential of mozilla development on Creating Applications with Mozilla · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's named OEOne

  10. Re:Any project for linux ? on Quartz Extreme Demo Movie · · Score: 1

    converting X11 (or anything else like directFb) into an OpenGL stream was my idea ...

    thanks anyway for the link.

  11. Any project for linux ? on Quartz Extreme Demo Movie · · Score: 1

    Is there any project to bring an equivalent feature to linux ?

    links anybody ...

  12. Re:snobby audiophile types and physics on Linux-Based Audiophile CD Archival System · · Score: 1
    The bottom line is, CDs encode the entire range of human hearing. The sampling is beyond the Nyquist frequency of human hearing.

    Maybe but ears are not the only way of hearing !

    In fact you can make the difference between a violin playing at 16000Hz and a piano playing at 16000Hz :
    the explanation is Harmonics and from what i remember, harmonics are waves at integer multiple of the fundamental.

    i.e. here the violin might have H2 (32 kHz) and H5 (80 KHz) whereas the piano might have H3 (48kHz) and H4(64 kHz)

    Although you can't directly here these, they are what makes violin and piano sound different.

    So IMO the higher the sample rate the better.

  14. Re:Wine and Kylix on Borland Releases Kylix 2 · · Score: 1

    > Hopefully K2 IDE will be alot faster.

    But is the help system still as slow as 3DSMAX running on a P75 ?

    Why couldn't they use HTML like everybody else !
