  1. Re:Why Youtube? on Guggenheim To Showcase YouTube Videos · · Score: 1

    Because Google doesn't own Vimeo. This is a partnership between Google and the Guggenheim Museum.

    It should be rebranded as Googleheim Museum then

  2. Swissmetro on For sale: Eurotunnel Tunnel Boring Machine · · Score: 1

    the answer might be here:
    Swissmetro

  3. Re:Look on the bright side...from another french.. on Hacker Indicted In France For Publishing Exploits · · Score: 1

    ne pas oublier 30 millions d'amis!

  4. Re:historically speaking on Microsoft To Be Fined E500M By European Union? · · Score: 1

    maybe you will be proven right, but surely, the European Union is not a "country" yet

  5. Re:Happened to a friend on PhatBot Trojan Spreading Rapidly On Windows PCs · · Score: 1

    I know this SIG, I have one in my cellar SIG 550 / Stgw.90 / Fass 90, same as at least 400'000 other Swiss citizen, so this sig is not really unique. Anyway, the real link should be http://www.sigarms.ch/ (the site is hosted in the Christmas Island strangely?!?)

  6. Re:This is surreal on SCO Lobbying Congress Against Open Code · · Score: 1

    The salvation army has indeed benn exported to you (the US) since its origins are in England

  7. Re:So what about the person who was imitated? on WSIS Physical Security Cracked · · Score: 1

    The Hudson does not flow through Geneva dude, it is the Rhone that does

  8. Re:Oil is the wave of the future on The End of the Oil Age · · Score: 1

    in "thermal depolymerization" there is the word "thermal", so where do you get the heat from in order to depolymerize turkey guts? burning oil? or what?

  9. Re:Hoping for a positive outcome on 2003 Privacy and Human Rights Survey Released · · Score: 1

    there is nothing to erode in the USA, since there "is no explicit right to privacy in the United States Constitution" http://www.privacyinternational.org/survey/phr2003 /countries/unitedstates.htm

  10. sue me, sue you, Sue Ellen on Apple Sued Over Unix Trademark · · Score: 1

    As things go, I am pretty sure that if somebody decided to call his dog slashdot, he would get sued (and the dog too for good measure).

    Can't this lawsuit craze stop?

  11. US Gov. and Linux on Do You Know UNIX Secrets? · · Score: 1

    A quick search on Netcraft reveals that for example:

    are using LINUX

    So is SCO planning to sue the US government next? (as well as governments from many other countries like Switzerland, Germany...)
  12. Senegal is not Liberia on More Thoughts On How to Wire Senegal · · Score: 1
    Most of the commentators seem to think that Senegal is some kind of totally under-developped country were people are starving. A quick look at the CIA factbook might show you that although it is certainly not the consumer paradise that the USA and Europe are, at least they already have:
    "communications:
    general assessment: good system
    domestic: above-average urban system; microwave radio relay, coaxial cable and fiber-optic cable in trunk system
    international: 4 submarine cables; satellite earth station - 1 Intelsat (Atlantic Ocean)"
    Besides, talking about the Peace Corps, "Senegal has a long history of participating in international peacekeeping."
    Everything between quotes is from the CIA factbook:
    Senegal CIA Factbook

    Anyway, even "The Economist" (the newspaper) aggrees that access to the Internet is a useful tool for farmers in the developping world

  13. Re:How do you know? on Swiss Town Holds First Internet Vote · · Score: 1

    well, I am Swiss and I do think that more often than not we are indeed pretty conservative and cautious but why should this not be a Good Thing(TM) ?

  14. Re:Money well spent. on CDMA 2000 1x Comes to India · · Score: 1

    Oh, they have taught themselves how to grow food more efficently (their Green Revolution is quite well known for having been a success). What they haven't yet achieved is to distribute this food so that nobody is undernourished.
