    The lunch hour is not included in the work time, even in France.

  4. What happened to /.? on The World's First Flexible Organic Microprocessor · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It used to be working well even without javascript. Now it seems I cannot answer to a comment (but I can begin a new comment thread?) even with javascript activated. Where is the bug tracker anyway?

  5. Re:so HR will just open any file? or is a word mac on Hackers Respond To Help Wanted Ads With Malware · · Score: 2

    I bet we all know a programmer that cannot tell you how many bits are in a byte.

    I agree, most of them just confuse the byte with the octet and answer 8 instead of: it depends.

  13. Re:Do not touch at Tezuka's work on Astro Boy Director Speaks · · Score: 1

    As said somewhere else, you should definetely give a try at Pluto, by Naoki Urasawa, before stopping people from touching Tezuka's work.

  14. Re:A Tepid Defense on Astro Boy Director Speaks · · Score: 1

    This is indeed a really excellent book.

    (But it _is_ black and white except for the first pages and some flowers)

    Now if they could just hurry a bit to publish the end of the story ;)

    Colors is clearly a con, I always have to set my TERM to vt100 before launching vim (well, I'm sure there must be a better way to do it)

  20. Re:Netherlands here on In Europe, Auto Spam Translation Kicks In · · Score: 1

    I was quite surprised recently when I received a spam that fooled the spam filter in my Yahoo! mailbox, because the subject of the message contained the word "viagra" (not even v14gr4 or the like).

    I wondered whether that might be a way to detect people clicking on the "spam" button :)

  21. Re:Simple on Visualizing False Positives In Broad Screening · · Score: 1

    B should be within A, not merely intersecting it.

    Err, 3D without glasses has been done before and is still a hot topic these days.

    Look for "autostereoscopic" screens. (despite the name, actually more than 2 pictures are used to generate the 3D effect, more like 8 pictures)

    Sharp already commercialized a 3D laptop some years ago.
