  1. I really don't need that! on Distributed Chess Computing Project · · Score: 1

    God damned, I really don't need that!
    I remember when I played chess with my 486, it beated me (sure, still beats me :) always even in the lowest level!
    I really don't need to be more frustrated against a opponent stronger than Deep Blue!!! 8-)

    It only depends on the definition of the noise.
    If the noise is that thing that comes to your ears and hurt your brain, there won't be any noise when nobody's there.
    But if the noise is the air vibration at certain frequencies, then there will be a big noise!
    Maybe you can ask to the owls that lived on the tree!

    Maybe one day we will be able to see the source (code) of the universe...
    Yeah! Hey, God, show us your code so we will be able to debug it!

    Yes, of course
    This would be good for YOU, but NOT for Micro$oft
    This is the aim of oss, but the point here is to convince ms that they can make money using oss... That's the ONLY aim of ms, please the user is secondary (not to say that it comes at last...)

  9. Re:Please on Benchmarking Intel C++ 6.0 to GNU g++ 3.0.4 · · Score: 1

    Yes, but it would be nice if all applications could compile with gcc _and_ icc (see ./configure script to automaticly detect if available, maybe...).

    All the code I will personally develop will compile on both from now, since icc is said to be binary compatible with the pending gcc-3.1 and that the compile-time is far much better than gcc!

    The simple add of #include in my sources decreases dramatically the time of compiling... Using an 'old' AMD K6-2, I'm very happy to gain 50% of the time!

    And times to times, try compiling with gcc to see if it works...

    Yes, but if Steve Jobs doesn't want it...

    This could be a good argument for their hardware: "Hey! Look! MacOSX is easy, but on these loosy architectures that are x86, it's slooeeewww... Buy my hardware and you'll have an easy AND FAST MacOSX!" Like this, we'd have MacOSX under x86, and they'd have goo hardware sells; Everybody would be happy 8-)

    Hey, you're right!
    After all, if M$ doesn't port his IE to MacOSX/x86, it will be good to avoid all these IE-only sites! btw, the micro$oft internet domination too!

  14. Re:Please don�t be na�ve on Violent Video Game Protection Act · · Score: 1

    I was quite raised with games where 'jump and shoot' is the only rule and loved it!

    I have seen horrors films at the age of 6-7 maybe sooner, I don't remember... (I didn't loved it that much because it scared me quite a bit 8-)
    BTW, films like "ET, the extraterrest" and the cartoon "The secret of Nimh" scared me AS MUCH as "The Blob" or "The Thing", because of their ugly faces!

    Now, I KNOW that I'm not violent, I'm an animals protector and the first of the Ghandi's followers (as a belgian, not indu 8-); I *hate* violence; I never faught with anybody, always found a democratic solutions to my problems; known to be a caaaaalm guy by my friends; I'm really against the kill-everybody-is-the-solution bush politic that you americans shows to your childrens that it is the way to do!!!

    Why? Because I was educated by my parents like that; By my parents and by my whole family. THIS is their job. As we always say, rules are made to be broken; If you restrict your childrens not to do something (NO! You're too young!), sure they will find a way to do it anyway. If you explain (well) violence is not the right way, I don't see why they'll use violence.

    So, NO, I don't think violent games leads to violent life. Ignorence, indirectly, does.

    I never said it's easy! Learning is MUCH more difficult that following it's instinct! (To give a glass of water when you've been slapped is the most difficult thing you can do 8-). But if you think violence is not the right way, teach it to your childs; Not only that, but WHY it's the right way (Hey! I told you it wasn't easy! 8-)

    No, I'm not sitting on a nail bed, I just received an average education that made me use my brain 8-)

  15. Re:Too much on Violent Video Game Protection Act · · Score: 1

    I forgot to say that I saw all the "Freddy" films when I was 6-7(don't remember) and lots of films like that thank to my godfather (not my mother! uh no! 8-), and I'm still calm; So I think these restrictions doesn't apply to the films too... but this is another story 8-)

    Don't know the english name of these films, only the french one, but it was this guys with knifes instead of digits and wanted to kill you in your dreams...

    ...and I just log on Slashdot (I'm the Anonymous Coward 8-)

  16. Re:But guns aren't the problem on Violent Video Game Protection Act · · Score: 1

    That's why I putted an 's' to problem_s_.
    One problem that I would speak about is this one: "Human being is changing, societies are changing, mentalities are changing, everything is changing... but your god-driven constitution isn't"
    I don't mean that the american constitution is bad, it has REAL good things in it; I'm saying that some lines are beginning to become quite obsoletes now, they were perfect when it was written, but please, step back a while to become objective and look!
    If there were no "school shooting" in past generations, GOOD!!! VERY GOOOOD!!! I would give anything (but my linuxbox 8-) to make things like this now!
    But now, the problem is becoming that THERE ARE "school shooting" problems!!!
    Removing guns from their hands wouldn't be THE solution, but A (*maybe temporary*) solution!

    ps: By good things in constitutions, do you remember the "Every US families will have a vacuum cleaner" that came from the great 'Sam & Max' game, some years ago??? 8-)))
