    Seeing that definitions of terrorism... Couldn't be considered the bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (that were towns full of civilians), acts of terrorism?

    Just a question...

    cool sig!

  3. Re:P2P platform to build upon. on NSF Grants for Decentralized Infrastructure Research · · Score: 1

    I think the P2P program Overnet use this 'Distributed Hash Table' stuff...

    And it's working right now! www.overnet.com has some details about it... (not much though)

    But some cars are equipped with that!!
    You never saw cars with a purple-ish windscreen?

    And I'm not talking about tinted glass, as the side windows are of a slighlty different color (greener)

    I have seen many of them in France

    Time to review that code!

  7. Chess on Awari Solved · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Some people once said that Awari was more complex (= offered more possibilities) than Chess...

    I guess this proves them wrong...

  8. Re:This might be a bad thing. on Welcome to the Fiberhood · · Score: 1

    What I have to wonder is this: If writing that he is a Mensa member causes his posts to be modded down, why is that automatically tacked on to each one as a signature?

    I took it for a joke, a call to 'downmod', the first time I read it.

    As for your journal, I think may be you're right not to open it... it's true that some people are vandals and would ruin it.
    So let me ask you here what I would have asked in your journal if it were open:
    Not that I do that, but what's wrong with ...you see a car parked away from all of the other cars and you park right next to it.
    Is it a habit in the US to do that? I never saw that and would not care if it happened...

  9. Re:20 years on Solar Car To Retrace Cross-Australian Route · · Score: 1

    Do you have an electric car?
    Does your neighbour have an electric car?
    In France, only some administrations use electric cars, or maybe electric cars dealers

    I wanted to point out that the technology is getting old without getting mainstream...

    Maybe english is not his native language.

    There are plenty of Mensa's around the world

    (I think you should have added another possibility:
    All my posts get modded down when I write I'm a Mensa member

    )

    I wish I had mod points... (ok i disabled moderation so there's no way...)

    Anyway this is so /. to think that everybody knows every nerdy acronym... I am always looking them up on everything2.com

    Before calling someone Einstein, could you please close your tags... Einstein! :)

  20. Re:Yeah, they changed their game all right.... on Ballmer Admits 'Linux Changed Our Game' · · Score: 1

    Did that too...

    But I think I am a little bit more cautious than you since my XP runs inside vmware (on a 600Mhz Duron, runs fine) and I left the whole 'masquerading/firewall/Q3server/mailserver/ FTPserver/AnythingRootableOnWindows' to the beneath Debian Stable.

    XP now only runs e-donkey and not for long! Since I do not use a bot anymore, I will soon use the linux version of e-donkey...

    I think 'Remote Desktop' is cool but I wonder why it took them 10 years to give to the home user what linux is offering with X

    And BTW, ME is the worst piece of shit ever written... trying to give Win2000's look to Win98 because they couldn't offer a 'Home-User Win2k' (=XP) soon enough. There may have been some improvements over Win98SE but the GUI was buggy and the thing they call a kernel crashed when you tried to 'shutdown' or 'hibernate'

  21. Just a question... on New Supersonic Jet Test Less Than Successful · · Score: 1

    Are they trying something really innovative, or did the technological knowledge from the 60's vanish??

    Obviously they are not those who built the 60's version, but why do they encounter so much difficulties 40 years after a successful project?
    What's the technological reason?

  22. Re:Debian doesn't really stand a chance anymore on Interview with Ian Jackson · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well 'outdated' is not a major problem when you want a RELIABLE server.
    And I think this is the point of Debian Stable. Tell me exactly what you would need for a home or semi-pro server that's not in Debian Stable?
    If you want recent software, 'testing' and unstable shall make you happy.

    I think it's a very good thing that a distro keeps a branch that is very unlikely to cause security problems
