  1. Re:Osamu Tezuka on Writers Who Will Stand the Test of Time? · · Score: 1

    He wrote a wonderful series of (comic) books about the life of Bouddha. A masterpiece. Well, this is not Sci-Fi anyway :)

  2. Re:Douglas Adams on Writers Who Will Stand the Test of Time? · · Score: 1

    I have always loved the work of Douglas Adams, but if I'm not mistaken he died last year.

    He died on May 11th 2001, less than 6 months ago.
    *sigh*

  3. Units on 2.4ghz vs. 5.7ghz Wireless Broadband? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Please use "GHz" for "GigaHertz". I do not know what "ghz" might mean... Well, at least we have lost the ambiguity that existed between megahertz and millihertz ...

  4. Re:Young Sherlock Holmes FX on Pixar Finally Offers Animated Shorts on Pixar.com · · Score: 1

    Yes you are right.

    John Lasseter worked on it, anyway, which confused me.

  5. Re:Really neat on Pixar Finally Offers Animated Shorts on Pixar.com · · Score: 5, Informative

    Really nice. Thank you Pixar :)

    Why is everybody saying Pixar=Steve Jobs ?
    Pixar is John Lasseter, that's all.
    He's an artist, and I love all that he has done,
    from the very beginning.

    I think one of the first 3D computer rendered image that Pixar made and got used in a movie was in "Young Sherlock Holmes", but I am not sure about this...

    By the way, if you like short animation movies you can also
    go to Aardman, and enjoy some movies from the makers of Chicken Run !

  6. Crocodile Dundee 0 : The African Trip on Prehistoric Monster Crocodile Found · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder if these giant crocodiles had giant predators too...

  7. Re:Too bad, Altavista has nice features on AltaVista Can't Keep Up · · Score: 1

    This brings up a good point; people often think something is broken and doesn't contain certain features when they simply
    don't know how to use it properly.


    I disagree a bit with you on that point. In fact I had used google for a long time now, and I think that something like one year ago, it did not
    have all the features mentionned here.

    I too was thinking it was still unable to do these
    tricks until I tried again to look at what was
    proposed in "advanced search". I think there is a lack of communication of their new features :)

    Since a few weeks, I noticed that there was a search for images as well. This was one of the last reasons I used Lycos. But I discovered this
    while I was on the www.google.com international site. Usually I use www.google.fr pages (which have two advantages: the first is not important, and is that the site words are in French. The other advantage is that I can look only in French-speaking pages, which is really important to me.

    So I really think google becomes better and better, but it does not warn us of the cool new features :)
