  1. Errr... Development ? on Sergey Brin: Windows Is "Torturing Users" · · Score: 0

    I'd like to be shown how to use an IDE on a Chrome netbook. And don't mention online editors, please.

    Until then, I'll keep Windows and Linux.

  2. Obligatory joke... on Are 625 Pixels Enough To Identify Sex? · · Score: 0

    ... 625 pixels should be enough for everyone !

  3. Fire ? on Asus Motherboard Box Doubles As PC Case · · Score: 0

    What about fire hazard ?

    Considering I've seen in my long life a couple motherboards spitting sparks and smoking...

  4. Please please explain me this once and for all on Universe 250+ Times Bigger Than What Is Observable · · Score: 0

    IANAP, INEAS (I'm not even a scientist),

    but I'm interested in astrophysics and never really found a clear explanation for a dummy like me :

    This seems to imply that the universe is expanding much quicker than the speed of light, or at least did so during a period before now. How is that even possible ? And does this mean that the speed of light is correlated with this expansion speed, and can vary over time ?

    Don't mock me, and thanks if you clarify this.

  5. Read my mail. on UK Research Aims For 100x Speedup In Fiber-Based Broadband · · Score: 0
    > What would you like to do with 100 times your own current network speed?

    Read my mail.
    Yes, that's what expected of us French people, since with Hadopi now in effect we'll soon have no needs for wider broadband.
    • Download game isos and DivX ? Illegal.
    • Download legal mp3s ? No need for 100 times the speed
    • Stream / download legal TV shows and movies ? Again, no need for that speed, and French private TV networks make it really expensive for what it's worth

    So, with something like 2 Gbps, I guess we're expected to have instantaneous chat and mail and be happy with that.

  6. Do no evil on Does Google Pin Copyright Violations On the ASF? · · Score: 0

    Do no evil my @$$. Steve Jobs was right about them.

    But that aside, while I think all of us know that Google is just a greedy corporate entity like all the others, what amazes is me is that they made a mistake so titanic, something that even a student wouldn't do.
    Aren't they supposed to be the brightest and the smartest people of the world ? How could they think nobody would spot stolen code in open sources, free for everybody to read them ?

  7. Re:They're being decent at least on Microsoft Explains Windows Phone 7 'Phantom Data' · · Score: 0

    I don't like Microsoft, but I'm convinced that had they named the responsible app, they would have been flaimebaited to death here.

    They're just leaving the choice to the third party creator, to get out of the woods or not, I think it's decent, yes. Now maybe they're just doing that because they have strong ties, financial or others, with that company, or because it's a lack of documentation that caused this, or just plainly because there is no third party app at all, I don't know. But from what I can see and judge with, I think it's the decent way to act.

  8. They're being decent at least on Microsoft Explains Windows Phone 7 'Phantom Data' · · Score: -1

    Not to defend Microsoft here, but if really the OS is not to blame, and it's a third party app that causes this phantom data, at least they have the decency of keeping the name of the responsible undisclosed, to avoid them a bad publicity.

  9. Search engine on Apple's $1 Billion Data Center Mystery · · Score: 0

    Search engine + maps app, to get rid of Google ?

  10. Expansion on Was There Only One Big Bang? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I don't understand. I thought the consensus between scientists was that the universe is expanding indefinitely, and that there won't be a big crunch ?

  11. Re:Panda Cloud on What Free Antivirus Do You Install On Windows? · · Score: 0

    You do know Panda is linked to Scientology, right ?

  12. K. W. Jeter predicted this years ago... on Skin-Based Display Screens From Nanotech Tattoos · · Score: 2, Interesting
  13. Misread on 88% of IT Admins Would Steal Passwords If Laid Off · · Score: 0

    English is not my native language, and at first, for a few secs I understood the title as "88% of IT Admins Would Steal Passwords If (given the possibility to get) Laid"...

    And then I thought "88% only" ?

  14. Re:Even by petty French standards, this is sad on Ebay Fined $61M By French Court For Sales of Fake Goods · · Score: 0

    The French government and courts have a long history of issuing prejudiced laws and decisions in favor of French companies

    As opposed to, say, GAO favoring Boeing over EADS ?

  15. I feel old on Lego Secret Vault Contains All Sets In History · · Score: 0

    Oh God, the Galaxy Explorer and the rocket were my favorite sets when I was a kid... Feels weird to see them presented like that.

    They make it look like they were recovered from under Stonehenge or the Pyramids.

    I feel old.

  16. Heh. on Boeing 787 Dreamliner Delayed Again · · Score: 0

    Heh heh he. Ha ha ha. Bwah aha ahah ahaha, BWAHAHA AH AH AH AH !!!!!!!!!!!!

    * Falls on the floor laughing, remembering all the trash Airbus got on sites like Slashdot and Digg when A380 was delayed *

  17. PFS on The Really Fair Scheduler · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm waiting for a true revolution : PFS, the Porn Fair Scheduler. All processes related to porn (playback, download, etc.) receive much larger time slices than everything else.

  18. Anti-EU much ? on Safest Seat on a Plane, Or How to Survive a Crash · · Score: 0

    Move to the back of the Airbus. I find this sentence somewhat xenophobic and anti-european. Does this mean that an Airbus is more likely to crash than a Boeing ? Feh.
  19. Re:Yeah why must hollywood remake french movies? on EU to Develop Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Ahhhh. Thank you, dude. I wanted to write something in the same vein myself, but I couldn't have done it without insults, and I would have looked a total jerk (just like those guys who constantly bash France and its military history, comfortably sitting at their desk, when a dozen of their guys explode every day at the other side of the world).
