  1. Disable the RFIDs is just a dream, or do you... on RFID Industry Confidential Memos · · Score: 1

    - shut your ears when you dont want to hear something; - shut your eyes when you dont want to see something; - shut up when you dont want to discuss something; - move a finger when you need to do something that you would rather not do; Anyway, this analogy might suck, but my point is that people rarely anticipate anything, but rather prefer to react.

  2. Was RFID or the like explored by science fiction ? on RFID Explained · · Score: 1

    Because it sounds like an ocean of possibilities.

  3. I first get angry at SCO... on SCO Gives Friday Deadline To IBM · · Score: 1

    for being such an asshole. Then I read the comments and it seems like SCO has no credibility whatsoever, because everyone jokes about it now :-)
    Are you happy famous SCO ou SCLOWN ? :)

  4. Re:Gentoo, Mandrake, Xandros and package managemen on Beyond Linux From Scratch 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Same with me.

    I always end up f@!ing my mandrake installation. URPMI doesn't handle everything to me *at least* as some imply it does.

    When I upgrade Mandrake 9 to have libgtk2.2 from mandrake 9.1, it breaks the GUI, hiding the labels and texts everywhere.

    When I tried to share my connection of my more or less upgraded mandrake 9.1 from 9.0, using their wizards, it broke my internet connection badly.

    In less than 10 months I think I reinstalled mandrake about 4 or 5 times. And I need to reinstall it again.

    But, I am hoping I can put my hands on a redhat9 or mandrake 9.1 ou suse 8.2 or a cool distro with a binary installation and gnome 2.2 and kernel 2.4.

    Well, with linux we hardly get hopeless :-)

    Cheers, I am no more angry.

  5. I know too. Many languages suck when they... on The Hundred-Year Language · · Score: 1

    - are verbose
    - take a long time to compile
    - need compilation
    - impose arbitrary limits
    - arent cross-platform
    - are hard to learn
    - are hard to teach
    - are paid for
    - have important tools which are paid for
    - arent flexible, in the way that you cant change the language itself
    - need wizards and generators
    - dont support inheritance

    And...

    When their libraries have the same flaws above.

    Cheers

    Ace: http://research.sun.com/projects/ace/petstore.html MDA: http://www.omg.org/mda/ .NET: http://www.microsoft.com/net/ And I am not a researcher of this stuff, but these projects did impress me. I see the merging of the mobile phones and the TVs with the computers as important improvements as well. Wireless rocks but needs security improvements. Cheers.

  7. He says there isnt much effort in trying to improv on Alan Kay Interview: Computing Past and Future · · Score: 2

    He says there isnt much effort in trying to improve computing.
    To me, there are many efforts in several fronts.
    In fact, due to the mass of information and geographic distance, many of these efforts are hard to track, even if you tried.
