  1. Re:IIXIIXV? on Slashback: VeriSign, Balance, Manifestation · · Score: 1

    Your interpretation is not the only correct one. Other correct interpretations :
    I I X I I X V : 1 1 10 1 1 10 5
    I I X I I XV : 1 1 10 1 1 15
    I I X I IX V : 1 1 10 1 9 5
    I I X II X V : 1 1 10 2 10 5
    I I X II XV : 1 1 10 2 15
    now that's tiring... I should find an algo to get them all, exhaustively :)

  2. ObQuote on The Oldest Mouse Contest · · Score: 1

    Are you pondering what I'm pondering ?

  3. Monty Python on stage in Paris on Monty Python's Holy Grail goes Broadway · · Score: 2, Informative

    Some French actors decided to adapt some sketches from MPFC in French and made a show with them. As it seemed to be successful they are doing it again with "new" (still adapted) sketches.
    See for example here to book tickets.

  4. After playing a lot Zelda the WindWaker... on Kids Kill, Victim Sues Game Maker · · Score: 1

    ...I cannot stop breaking all the jars and vases I see ! Strangely, in real life, very few contain jewels, hearts or arrows.

  5. Re:I forgot on Users feel Password Rage · · Score: 1

    I do the same... but I cannot remember the password of my email account to which the other passwords are sent. Damn !

  6. Re:Silly... on Users feel Password Rage · · Score: 1

    I generally remember my passwords, but mix them.

    Last time, I had to check several times whether I was in lowercase, and whether numlock was set, before figuring I was entering my NT login password to try to access my webmail account !

  7. Re:Likewise... on Microsoft Issues Five New Security Warnings · · Score: 1

    The network support comes in default when you install Windows. MsOffice does not. You have to pay more money to get it. Insert other CDs to install it.

  8. Re:Latest Debian gnu/Linux seccurity warnings! on Microsoft Issues Five New Security Warnings · · Score: 1

    You can install MsWindows without MsOffice. In this case, I believe (but am not sure) that the flaws in Office will not impact you.

    So in this case it is truly a flaw in the App, not in the OS.

  9. Re:Really? on The End of Physical Media · · Score: 1
    "**Jay cinq M*** Jean Marie Messier - Maitre du Monde!"


    "cinq" is five, and you have only 4 Ms in the nickname.

    Try this: J6M: Jean-Marie Messier Moi-Meme Maitre du Monde
  10. Re:Coincidence? on Armageddon... in 2014. Almost. · · Score: 2, Funny
    civilization as we know it will end in 2013


    Is it civilization as we know it, or civilization as they (the Mayans) knew it ?
    In the latter case, I believe it has already happened...
  11. Re:LORD - Dont you people see what's happening her on Book-Digitizing Robots · · Score: 1
    1000 pages / minute

    Actually it is 1000 pages / hour. But I think the idea is the same.
  12. Re:Freedom 'Bots on Book-Digitizing Robots · · Score: 1
    Analog [...] can always be understood by anyone

    Well, I prefer to have a digitized version of a Chinese book, which I will be able to send into
    babelfish to have a rough idea of what it is about,
    rather than having the "analog" book...

  13. Re:Yahoo's spam filter on Forty Percent of All Email is Spam · · Score: 1

    That happened to me with one newsletter I subscribed to. There is a link in the mail which you can click which is named "this is not spam", and in the future the newsletters from this address will go into your main folder, not in bulk mail.

  14. IN SOVIET RUSSIA on Some Geek Guides for Dating · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Dates seek YOU!

    so... let's go there :p

    (sorry, I could not resist)

  15. Re:for the inevitable slashdotting.. on Japanese Man Arrested For Virtual Theft · · Score: 1
    I think we can expect that one of Japan's biggest newspapers [slashdot.org] should withstand a little slashdotting if it can cope with any significant market share of 61.4 M potential visitors


    The article is in English. Maybe the server for English articles (in the case it might be on a different server, just a supposition) is not configured to receive many visitors, as most people reading a Japanese newspaper will read it in ... Japanese !
  16. Re:This MAY be the first time a FP got a score of on Why IE Is So Fast ... Sometimes · · Score: 1

    No, this happened on April 1st too

  17. Re:Yahoo works, hotmail not on Turing Tests to Stop Spam · · Score: 1
    But wouldn't it be great if it worked like a sort of DOS on their storage? oh well.

    You mean, destroying all the real messages received by real innocent H*tmail users, together with their contact lists and other personnal stuff ?
    No, it does not sound great to me...
  18. Re:Okay... on World's First Tree-sitting Weblog · · Score: 1

    Where are the Soviet Russia jokes when we need them ? ;)

  19. Re:Light cones and the edge of the universe on Relativity Finally Meets Quantum Theory? · · Score: 1

    I would not say that 2.7 Kelvin is "cool".

  20. Re:Live action Tintin actually dates back to the 6 on Spielberg to Produce Live-Action Tintin Movie(s) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The problem with these movies is that the actors did not have the same voices as in the books !

    (This was said by a kid when the movie got out, and I think I agree with him)

    Anyway, it is astonishing how much Jean-Pierre Talbot looks like Tintin. Well, this was the only reason why he was hired for the job, as he does not seem to have played in any other movie before or afterwards.

    That's anyway better than to have Christian Clavier as Asterix (sigh)

  21. Re:Spirited Away on The Significance of Anime · · Score: 1

    An annoying kid in Grave of the fireflies.
    Do you mean Setsuko ? She appears realistic to me, not really annoying, boucing, jumping...

  22. Re:Spirited Away on The Significance of Anime · · Score: 1
    [Escaflowne] The cat-girl, which I cannot remember the name of.

    Meruru.
  23. Re:Ho-ho! on Phoenix Project Considers A Name Change · · Score: 2, Funny
    Another Japanese bird:

    Pheng
    Giant Japanese bird who could eclipse the sun. Known to eat camels.


    So that's why there are no more camels in Japan !
  24. Re:Planetary Names on New Frozen World Found Beyond Pluto · · Score: 1

    Uranus really sounds like a Roman name rather than Greek. Indeed a small google search told me that this is the Roman name of the god called Ouranos by the Greek.

    Cronos is the Greek name for Saturn.

  25. My daily newspaper is free ! on Sacrificial Broadband? · · Score: 1

    I pay nothing to get my daily newspaper (called "20 minutes", or "Metro"), it is free. I can take it at the train/metro station every morning.

    I wish I'd pay the same for my internet connection !
