  1. Re:The gf? on What (non-PC) Hardware Do You Hack? · · Score: 2, Funny

    No it doesn't ! Everybody knows how to hack your girlfriend...she nearly has her own man-page :)

  2. IMHO on How are System Requirements Determined? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "How are System Requirements Determined?"

    Mostly on drugs :)

  3. to anwser your question... on WinFS - Who Will Actually Use It? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "Am I being paranoid ?"

    Talking about a filesystem that you never used, as a user/developper/hacker, and criticizing it's features 2 years before it is out, for me is not a solid argument.

    So IMHO you are paranoid...well, for the moment :)

  4. be careful on Trying Your Hand at Level Design? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    the main danger of that kind of job, is you'll end up being bored of it, a few months after you start. It's very repetitive, and probably not as creative as you believe it is.

  5. Stupid on 8th Grader Suspended for Using 'net send' Command · · Score: 1

    It's more an ignorance powered decision than a hacking punishment. And as long as 13 years old kids will be more IT-aware than their teachers, it is gonna happen everyday.

  6. IM in the house ? on Downsides to Intrafamily IM? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Wow, man I think my geek-o-meter just melt while I was reading this post. And I had to shut down my weird-o-meter to prevent it from melting as well.

    Well, I like IM, I use it every day with. But when I'm a few meters away from the person I'm chatting with, I discovered that opening my mouth to talk was much better. You should do the same, and you'll see that real-life communication with people (especially family) is a nice thing.

  7. Re: The Billion-Dollar Telescope on The Billion-Dollar Telescope · · Score: 5, Informative

    In fact, it's "The Billion-Euros Telescope" which means about 20% more.

  8. Re:Spammers are beginning to organise on What You Get When You Buy a Spam CD · · Score: 2, Informative

    Your post reminded me of an article I read a few weeks ago (probably posted on /.), where a distributed spamming technique was exposed. The method was exploiting a php weakness (register_globals), to upload and run a script that installs a binary file in /tmp it's purpose being to send spam from several (hard to evaluate how many servers could be infected by that kind of weakness) web servers.

    This very interesting article can be found here : http://www.securityfocus.com/guest/24043

  9. Re:Subject line is misleading on 75% of Network Connections Not From Browsers · · Score: 1

    Did you mean that /. editors should RTFA ? Silly man :)

  10. The point ? on The Matrix Trailers, Reloaded and Re-Encoded · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Sorry but what's the point of having near-DVD quality trailers, months after the realease of the entire movies ? (2 DVDs are available and the 3rd should soon be) You must be the kind of guy that can't wait anymore for the Fellowship of the ring trailer to be out :)

  11. nice plan on Christmas Lighting in Abundance · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have to admit that posting your boss' website on the slashdot homepage is an easy revenge for whatever he did to you...You must be LOL, seeing his webserver melting down :)

  12. Re:This "patch" leaks memory - and other bad stuff on Open Source Firm Releases Patch for IE Bug [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing these guys aren't on the real IE dev team.

    How can you be so sure they are not ? :)

  13. error on Sony Claims First Running Humanoid Robot · · Score: 1

    "running at 14 meters per minute"

    You probably mean "crawling" ?

  14. Re:short answer on Windows XP, Games, and Administrator Privileges? · · Score: 1

    when it comes to kids playing games, win98SE (SE stands for Second Edition, being more stable) is far enough stable...

  15. short answer on Windows XP, Games, and Administrator Privileges? · · Score: 5, Informative

    1- Dual Boot (WinXp for you + Win98SE for your kids)
    2- A ghost image of the win98SE partition
    3- Let them play
    4- Wait for them to say "Dad it doesn't work anymore !"
    5- Restore your ghost backup
    6- Goto 3

    Seems a bit dub, but it works better and it's less a pain than managing XP user rights.

  16. wrong on PowerPoint Makes You Dumb · · Score: 1

    Powerpoint will not make you dumb. It's like saying "hammer will break your finger".

    People have to be dumb in the first place, to forget a life-threat, when it's showed using a media, whatever this media is : Newspapers, Radio, TV, or PowerPoint.

    PowerPoint is a tool. Period.

  17. Re:Advanced Screening? on A Return Of The King Review · · Score: 1

    Didn't EA buy a few (about 7 I believe) LOTR licenses for games ?

  18. sysadmins moto on Online Backup vs. Tape Backup? · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Real men don't do backups...But you know, real men sometimes cry" :):):)

  19. Resumes are funny, but on Funny Things You've Seen on Resumes? · · Score: 1

    job posts are sometimes funnier. I recently read a "C# developper wanted, with minimum 4 years experience" offer :)

  20. Re:Give the Gift of Slashdot... on Give the Gift of Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't have time to talk with your wife...we have many things to do before you get back home :)

  21. I found one for you and your wife ! on Games For Both Of Us? · · Score: 1

    You should try this one, I tried it with my girlfriend, and since the day we started, we never stopped loving it !

    (just a tip : it's called "real life" :)

  22. Translation ? on Bootstrapping Start-ups · · Score: 3, Informative

    Are you sure they paid someone to translate pages ? The french translation must have been made by some guy who had never talked french before :)

  23. Re:Ironically on Will TiVo Destroy Ad-Supported TV? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ok, then perhaps it's time you try skiping both programs and commercials :)

  24. Re:Ah great... on Internationalized Domain Names Coming Soon · · Score: 1, Funny

    c'mon man ! you forgot the link ! BTW, DON'T CLICK HERE :)

  25. there's just a problem on The Riches of Open Source · · Score: 1

    There are not many Open Source developpers that actively take part to a project for more than a few patches, or at most, a few months. That's in my opinion the major leak of OSS. Many good project never reach a stable status, because of coders departures, and because of project forks. It would somtimes be good to get some experience from company-like organisations, where a project often MUST be finished, for the company to keep some credibilityn or often to survive.
