The senate is otherall a useless, deprecated institution. That's usually where retiring politician end their carriers. They have'nt got much power -- besides delaying the passing of a bill. For example, as the bloody conservatives they are, they delayed the PACS, a bill for a sort of 'gay marriage', so it adopting it took over a year instead of a few months. But the bill passed anyway.
So what happens is that they're fighting to pretend to serve some purpose. The head of the chamber (what's his face gain?) is using his net presence to look branché (wired), and at least more branché than the other side of the parliament.
Actually, they're rather succesful at that: they had their website way before other gov't institution.
Then, all cynicism aside, the fact that they don't have much real power does'nt mean that this is useless. They can at least challenge the gov't to do something...
The principle of patents and copyright are both based on the idea that protecting ideas and creation will lead to more production of those.
In this great example, we see perfectly well that nothing good is achieved other a non-patentable world: the research is taking place through the Human Genome Project ANYWAY, and those "fine" people are just trying to steal a piece of the cake.
Just as open source software shows that IP isn't THAT necessary to innovation and development.
Bullshit. Since I've made sex (one of my) goal(s) I feel much better. If you don't, you always fall in LJBFland -- where LJBF = Let's Just Be Friends. That sucks, you feel bad, and repeat after me: WOMEN WANT SEX JUST AS MUCH AS MEN DO, just not with anybody (unlike men).
Yeah, but integrated with what? Do they support KDE/Gnome? Can I D&D from a gmc window, etc... ?
Their compilers, as I've used them a while ago on Mac are good, but their main force is that they seem to be (used to be at least) a company that listens to their customers. Hey, can you imagine that? You can actually REQUEST a functionality and expect it to be present in the next releases!
Not open source by far, but with them you don't usually endure the usual pain of closed source software.
It's horrible. What I don't understand, or rather what people don't seem to understand about graphic design is that... if you don't know how to do it right, don't do it! I'd rather see a plain TEXT HTML2.0 page on a gray background than this kind of ugly logos. At least it would be lynx-friendly.
Think AIDS. So you'r HIV positive? Good! Everybody will know about it.
Not to do some US bashing AGAIN, but in France, Doctors are'nt even allowed to give personal medical information to other doctors (without the patient's assentment, of course).
AHhh!! That's so funny. The guy has considered writing a perl interpreter in ADA!!!! AAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhaaahahahahhahah!!!!! BLbllblblblblblblblbl!!!!!! That's the single most valid reason for the article to be a hoax!
I don't like christians means that I don't like the fact that people have the christian belief (muslim being worse in my book). Now, I can appreciate christians for other reasons. Just like I don't like football fans. As long as they don't bother me with their football, I don't mind. There is a huge difference in saying 'I don't like (jews|niggers)': being a hew is (99%) an inherited trait, something that people don't choose, and it means more than just a religion. By what "Jew" usually means, I could as well be considered a catholic.
He was always a decent fellow to me and quite active in the church...
As an atheist, I love the previous statement... in the US, you think that just going to church is a statement of morality. Gullible^H^H^H^H^Hreligious people are no better than the others.
BTW, do witnesses really swear on the bible in a trial in america?
And yes, I am delighted to see one of those, forgive me the strong wording, censorship companies getting problems of this nature. Nice irony.
Yep, better this way... still it will give more food to censor-happy freaks, who, I believe, are closet pedophiles, just like, according to a psychological study, a lot of homophobics actually have homosexual tendencies.
Also, that guy is filthy rich and can hire the attorneys he needs; now think about the little guy who will be caught thusly... Think OJ Simpson...

And you are wrong.

Yeah but I have to admit: French universities tend to suck. *Maybe* if the system was a bit more capitalistic that would'nt be this way.
on their website?
Having said that, the only organiser / gadget one needs is a micro-VT terminal on a GSM triband phone
I beg to differ. What about SIGHUP?
I use my Palm as a "dreamcatcher" for my thoughts. It's small, it's quick, and it remembers. I, on the other hand, do not remember.
But do you have a video-out port?
Wasn't there a jiffies rollover problem that should have made it freeze before that?
Or was this bug introduced later on?
I hit reload every 10 minutes. When I'm bored.
Yeah but it makes lots of sense.

The article is surprisingly single sided. Incredibly bad jounralism.

.. as usual.
There is no 'attempted' crime: he was chatting, and (apparently) moved to meet his 'victim'. We don't know if he would have attempted anything.
I just don't like christians. That's just me -- that's how I was born. I was thrown out of sunday school at 8.
Besides, catholicism is the most prominent religion here -- and they have so many case of pedophilia among their priests it gets almost funny.

Huh?
I'm not claiming the guy is squeaky-clean.

Sorry, but I don't see anything more insightful here than what your hear in your local pub from "réactionnaire" drunks.
