I love Safari and just installed the 4th version, and the Web Inspector is very pretty, but as long as extensions are not officially supported, I will use it for 24 hours only and switch back to Firefox (as I do for every new version of Safari).
And I'd like PETA to create Meatroid, a Flash game where Samus would cook parasites from different planets. The hentai version would have a few takoyaki recipes for tentacular action. THAT would be great!
Where I was studying a few years ago, I had a teacher who was working with a french laboratory to create a standard for the kilogram. It was supposed to work with a machine to record the pressure applied to it (some kind of scale as far as I understood) and a bunch of lasers to measure everything. It was the first and only time I've heard about someone trying to standardize the kilogram.
I can confirm that this is a rather strange world we're living in. My wife wants to switch to Ubuntu (and thus wiping Windows XP from her computer) because of some reasons I had not expected (from my point of view as a hardcore developer):
Frozen Bubble is available on Linux, as well as a lot of good games
Less viruses than XP, and so no need for an anti-virus
Firefox and "MSN" chat are available on Linux
Free IT support when I'm available at home
I know that it may seem redundant but computer noobs switch for very strange reasons and we must listen to their needs if we want Linux to "succeed on the desktop."
And don't forget the assembly window of the debugger when your program crashes. I use it all the time and it gives way more information about how the crash happened. I know that debuggers give the value of all the variables in real-time but the assembly output is the only way to understand what the operating system was executing during the crash.
Privoxy is a good replacement of AdBlock on Mac OS X (and other platforms if you want). By default it filters a lot of ads and pop-ups and you can add your own rules as regular expressions or as domain names (.google-analytics.com for example). It also has a simple web interface accessible throught the url http://p.p/ for your everyday needs.
One issue with developing on the mac is that you have to use a strange language called Object-C if you want to develop cocoa applications
I used to write my GUIs with Qt or GTK but I now have a job writing Cocoa applications in Objective-C and I like it! I have to write less code than before, I have the bindings system and all the Cocoa framework for me so, yes, Objective-C is a PITA to learn when you begin but once you understand how to use it, it's a very powerful tool.
I think that Google should stay out of China if they want to be honest with their "no evil" policy but they still provide a lot of infos about the massacre if you use the other spelling of "Tienanmen": http://www.google.cn/search?hl=zh-CN&q=tienanmen+s quare Did they forgot to censor it or what?
It's just a stupid video game, nothing more. And this woman has huge psychological problems if she is embarassed by anything happening in this game without any connection to her private life (which is clearly the case here). People need to relax and be human beings once again because what she does has implications in real life (with this DMCA crap) and hurt society as a whole just because of fkying dicks in a crappy 3D game... (the same kind of 3D we already had 10 years ago I'd like to add)
But it's NOT a good product if you still have to download it on the PirateBay after you paid for it. That's the problem: if you have paid for it, they'll continue to give us this crappy format (DRM + bad quality) wihtout caring about our real needs (OTOH they'll blame it on piracy if no one buys it, we're SOL anyway).
He died doing what he does best, and what he loves. If only we were so lucky.
Speak for yourself. I live with my future wife, I have free sex whenever I want, 3 computers and some hot coffee. That's the life I always wanted and I have it now, I can rest in peace. And fighting crocodiles on TV is not the dream of every man on this planet.
But they fail to mention where to download those files/app/source code for those who don't use Debian and here is the url: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tristero/
All it takes is one person to have the patience or scripting skills to automate this for a copy to hit the internet
One person only? We have the whole internet for that. Just get a team of 120 guys who would each copy 1 minute of the movie and concatenate all the frames back together when they're finished. Of course this grab-screen idea is still highly inefficient but those "pirates" can organize themselves.
I don't know what Kinderstart is but when I see links like this one (a site for the Scientology) from Kinderstart's own web site, I know something's weird's happening...
try launchmany-curses.py if you want to download many torrents at the same time, for example: launchmany-curses.py --max_upload_rate 5. to download all the torrents of the current directory, and on Mac OS X, if you drag and drop new torrents in this directory, these new torrents are automagically added to the download list.

Sun's Open Source DRM
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
I see a lot of valid arguments against each new DRM mechanisim that comes out, but nobody seems to be offering an alternative.
The alternative is NO DRM, that's very easy: I buy and I can do whatever I want with it (no, I haven't said "put it on the internet") There is no DRM without problems to the customers: the CD that is not playing in the car, the song you can't put on your mp3 player or the game that won't play in three years on the new Windows (and yes, I still play Monkey Island, that would be impossible with DRM)
Whats wrong with having an open source, freely distributed DRM system
The DRM is wrong. If you don't trust me, your customer giving my money, I'm not buying.
And Microsoft won't say how their operating system works, I'll sue Bill Gates and demand the source code. Anyway, KinderStart seems to be another linkfarm, that's why they are ranked so low.

I'm a geek, the kind that enjoys writing recursive functions in Lisp, but not one who goes to Linux conventions. I met my girlfriend on MSN (the new-fashioned way;)
She wasn't aware of my C++ tendencies for a few weeks, and when I told her, nothing changed and she doesn't mind me reading books about this Java thing. The truth is that she wants me to teach her a few things about programming now, and I want her to teach me a few things she knows so that we can enjoy more stuff together.
The fact is that everyone's a nerd for something, most people are just "nerds about life and society", but some people are jealous and don't like Trekkies or computer geeks because they love what they do and asking if it's a good thing for the gene pool is insulting. Who cares who you're dating as long as you're enjoying yourself? (thanks for reading this off-topic rant) </rant>

Why do you hate the French? I'm assuming you're American
I think it was more of a joke than anything else. If I had to bash an American (those fat rednecks, I hate them:D ) every time France is mentionned, I would be already dead of exhaustion. There are stupid people on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but I don't really care anymore, you have to learn from intelligent people (and most of the Americans I know are very smart, yes they are) and forget what you don't need or like (RealTV for example), the same way I try to ignore stupid people in my country.
