    ELQ's bias:
    Only today, ELQ has been said to be rabidly anti-Mac, sold to Apple, a RedHat slave, rabidly anti-RedHat, and more.

    P.S.: When did AtheOS become her husband's OS?

  3. Re:RTFB on Retooling Slashdot with Web Standards · · Score: 1

    Superb site (i'm speaking of Hicksdesign), but too dependant on screen resolution. I have seen it's a work in progress, so hopefully this will change. Anyway, it's interesting too, so I'll bookmark it.

  4. WinFS. on Nonexistent Windows OS Superior to Panther · · Score: 2, Funny

    So, WinFS means Windows Future Storage? Does that mean that when Longhorn is released, the name will change to WinPS, as in Windows Present Storage?

    To speak the truth, he never claimed that. he just said he replaced one server by FreeBSD, what could well mean taht he replaced one server by a box running FreeBSD?

    Where the hell did you see people in France don't like people from Quebec? This is news for me!

  9. Re:It's not whining, follow the money to see why on Quebec Cracks Down On Translated Videogames · · Score: 2, Insightful

    French is not spoken only in Quebec. They can do one translation for all francophones countries (population > 7.5 millions).

    Notwithstanding, speaking of market share, that France, Belgium, and all the other french speaking countries, including Tunisia, Algeria, Madagascar, where French is the second most spoken language, would be available too.

    He said it:
    "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."
    Everybody knows that farting has always been a great way to socialize. See gatherings of young men, where there is a lot of farting competition.

    I believe Google sells the keywords, no?

  14. Re:WTF?! on France: No Google Text Ads For Trademarked Words · · Score: 1

    This is the most interesting remark on the subject, and why Google has a chance to win in appeal.

    That said, if I am a trademark holder, I don't see why I would let Google sell my trademark as a keyword: damnit, I am the owner. And I bet some of the American corporations would like to see this judgment becoming common law in the States

    In fine, the biggest problem is that, in the USA or in France, you can trademark such things as:

    • Bourse des Vols
    • Where do you want to go tomorrow
    • Just do it
    et caetera
  15. Re:Leapfrogging? on Mac OS X 'Panther': User at the Center · · Score: 1
    The majority of Mac people I have encountered rarely go past what they originally see.

    I'm not sure this is a caracteristic of Mac users. I was helping a PC user: he discovered copy/paste after four years of daily use of his computer!

    It's comments like that that make me ashamed to be anti-war

    I really don't see why. Maybe you misunderstood me. I am not saying that it would have been better to be in the soviet block (À Dieu ne plaise!), I am not diminishing the role of the Americans in WWII. I am just saying that, for those Americans who are bashing France today, liberation apparently means "You owe me, I own you".

    Amos Oz: great quote. I agree, at least partially. I am sure this campaign has nothing to do with oil and colonial appetite. For the rest, I am not sure yet, but he may well be right!

  19. Re:Popular Front for the Liberation of Europe on Building the A380 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I wouldn't say Americans were exactly liberators too, since apparently, if we listen to all the noise in the USA, liberation means: you're free! We own you! Follow us! Shut up, unless for agreeing with us!
