  1. Re:No, but should there? on Amnesty Calls Shenannigans on MS, Sun, Cisco · · Score: 1

    Exactly. The government makes laws to boycott Cuba and even tries to make other countries follow them. It will boycott Irak and eventually invade it, justifying that act by the fact that Saddam killed an impressive number of his "subjects". But it will never do anything against, about China (communism? What communism? Thibet? What's that? Human Rights?). Damn it, China is THE MARKET.

    That's why, if it cost too much to improve the life of the employees, the corporation runs to some other place, where the work force just cost a dime a day.

  3. Re:What's the point? on Hard Drives Preloaded With GNU-Darwin · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There is no need for any effort on GNU/Darwin. Somebody has fun doing it, someone has fun using it. Why not have fun?

    It's a totally different concept. It's fun to have something new and different to play with.

    So, you're one of them! Those who never limp under beds or anything, and keep religiously the dust under the carpet. Certainly you just wash your face and your hands, and may be doesn't even wipe your ass! unless you walk naked?

    ...women will still be irrational 90% of the time.

    I would like to be sure of that.

    By the way, you seem to give great importance to intuition. Is there a rational explanation for intuition? And you don't see any future in trying to measure the subconscious, yet you're ready to measure rationality?

    Damnit! I'm proving it myself.

    Besides the fact that it is all speculations (as writen in the article), doesn't it would prove that men are half-brained?

  9. Re:Thought - MS retaliates against an EU fine by.. on EU Crosshair Still Points at Microsoft · · Score: 1

    There wouldn't be a "one day on, one day off" effect. You seeem to think that everything would change overnight. Everybody would go on with their MS products, as they are doing now. And within a year, I bet there would be a lot of solutions (on Linux, Mac OS X, RiscOS, etc...) to migrate.

    The retail sector would be hit, and with help would recover. The support sector certainly wouldn't be hit

    But anyway, it is very unlikely that MS withdraws from EU.
  10. Re:Will XDocs support 'ALL' the features in PDF? on Microsoft takes on PDF · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Xdocs just does one of many things PDF does too. And nothing else. If something could kill PDF, it would be DjVu, which needs a lot of work yet to be a real replacement.

    where else you gonna see the most visible representative of a nation to the world(secretary of state), be a member of 10% of the population. huh?

    France?
    Just a few ones:

    • Félix Eboué, governor of West Africa (in the colonial times)
    • Gaston Monerville, President of the Senate (de facto vice-president) in the 50s
    • Christiane Taubira-Delanon, Secretary of State in the late government
    • Léon Bertrand, Secretary of State, in the present government
    And their minority doesn't even make 10% of the population!

    And what other country has given even one life, let alone thousands and thousands, to free people from other countries, to bring them democracy.

    France again? Remember La Fayette, the War of Independance?

    You were answering an obvious troll, and an anti-American one. But I don't think your answer was more accurate than his troll:

    My grandparents came from a little country town to a much larger town, without nothing, and two generations later, I'm a highly paid professional, also cruising /.. This didn't happen in the USA, not even in America. This is possible in a lot of places.

    Millions of foreigners entered Brazil, Great Britain, France, etc, in the past. Millions are still trying today. It doesn't happen only in America, you see.
