  1. Microsoft best on Ask Slashdot: What's The Worst IT-Related Joke You've Ever Heard? · · Score: 1

    It's not a bug, it's a feature.

  2. Re:Search Software on Ask Slashdot: What Software Can You Not Live Without? · · Score: 1

    Same here minus FRHED (I don't know it) plus TextPad for very large text files and Irfanview for pictures.

  3. Why they don't like it on Google Wants You to Use Your Real Name on YouTube · · Score: 1

    This should be applied to people who just click the dislike button. I wander why there are always about 1% of viewers who don't like what they are watching... So why are they watching it? Poor things, they should have a life!

  4. French American Bands on Despite Drop In Piracy, French Music Industry Still In Decline · · Score: 1

    Not all French bands sing in French. There are at least 3 great bands who sings in English. Sadly, we don't hear much of them even in France. If you like folk music, try:
    - Cocoon
    - Herman Dunne
    - Moriarty

  5. Re:Read the article on Ugly Truth of Space Junk · · Score: 1

    So many experts these days! Nuclear, security, economy experts! All of them for what? Tell me about nutters!

  6. Re:Sweet story bro on Massive SQL Injection Attack Compromises 380K URLs · · Score: 1

    I use ASP.NET and for years I use parameters to fetch data from databases. Thus, specified values are searched in specific fields. I thought SQL injections were only possible thru user input from form fields and could only access databases. I don't understand how sites could be corrupted this way in order to redirect an URL.

  7. Re:So... on UK Police Raid Party After Seeing "All-Night" Tag On Facebook · · Score: 2, Informative

    As reported by the Register, police can break up a rave party under section 63 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act since 1994. And it is not for any kind of music festivals... No, no, no, only raves: "playing amplified music wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats during the night".

  8. Re:Evolution or Intelligent Design? on Cats "Exploit" Humans By Purring · · Score: 1

    When Loulou, my 8 pound siamese cat, saw a 12 pound stranger came in the garden, he knew he couldn't faced him. So he hid behind a small wall and made horrible howling noises. This strategy worked. The big fat stranger ran away at once and never went back.

  9. Re:Evolution or Intelligent Design? on Cats "Exploit" Humans By Purring · · Score: 1

    a cat that will come at most times will not come near you when they are hurt or scared

    It depends. I had cats who came to me when they were sick or injured as they knew from past experiences that me or the vet could help make the pain goes away.

    As for now, one of my cats has glaucoma and she comes to me when I'm late for her eyedrops but only for one of the two kinds she got 4 times a day.

    She doesn't like the other kind of eyedrops and she run away when the time comes. But recently I got feet surgery and I'm not walking too well. She still tends to run away but when I beg her to stop as I'm not able to chase her, she freezes and let herself be picked up without resistance.

  11. Re:Could be worse on French "3 Strikes" Law Returns, In Slightly Altered Form · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually, 3 year prison time and/or 300 000 euros fine are what is already applied since 2006. This is the DADVSI law.

  12. Re:Could be worse on French "3 Strikes" Law Returns, In Slightly Altered Form · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Of course, there will be no prison time but you will not be able to defend yourself. If you say "It's not me. Someone took over my connection without my knowledge..." You will got a 1300 euros fine anyway if you have not installed a spying software that will hinder p2p connection. Even worse: they will try also to spy on e-mails.

  13. Re:Cant wait till they catch themselves on French Assembly Adopts 3-Strikes Bill · · Score: 1

    hadopi will have to pay people for downloading content in order to verify that it is indeed illegal.

  14. Re:I feel sorry for you, french people on French Assembly Adopts 3-Strikes Bill · · Score: 1

    I guess they would, but they won't. A local gastronomy label, called AOC ("appelation d'origine controlée" or "controlled term of origin") helps to maintain the present diversity.

    Large European milk processing companies such as Lactalis tried to impose pasteurized camemberts under the original gastronomy label AOC reserved to the raw milk version. But they failed!

    According to Le Figaro, in 2007, Lactalis, a large European dairy company, stopped all production of raw milk cheese pretexting that such cheese sold by one of its concurrents, a small cheese maker from Normandy called Reo, were laced with listeria. Reo produced contradictory reports, lost some money but survived. So, Lactalis did it again in March 2008. Again, Reo produced proof otherwise. Alarmed, the small local dairies organized themselves and imposed the AOC label for raw milk cheese. This was confirmed by decree in January 2009.

  15. Re:Sarkozy on French Assembly Adopts 3-Strikes Bill · · Score: 1

    I hope the Internet era will put a stop to this type of politicans.

    Not only to this type of politicians but also to this type of "artists" such as those old French ones who support hadopi. The most aggressive are the old, rich and famous who, for the past 40 years (!), were showered with royalties. They got already plenty (what have they done with it?) and as their talent dries out, they cling to their annuities and fight for their privileges. And they don't care how the law enforces their rights as long as they keep them. Anyway, hadopi or not, as they disappear from the p2p networks, they will disappear from the human memory.

  16. Death watch on Filmmaker Working On Eye-Socket Camera · · Score: 1

    TV shows will make great use of it... The ultimate of reality TV!

    In 1973, D.G. Compton published an excellent sci-fi novel, The Unsleeping Eye or The Continuous Katherine Mortenhoe, about a TV show in which a terminally ill woman will be filmed until her death. This will draw a huge audience in a world where almost all diseases can be cured. The woman runs away after signing the contract and a journalist with a camera implanted in his eye will arrange to locate her and, impersonating a compassionate lover, film the woman's agony without her being aware of it.

    As good as the book was the 1980 movie, Death watch (La mort en direct) , directed by Bertrand Tavernier, with Romy Schneider and Harvey Keitel.

  17. It happened to me on 3 Cups of Coffee Increases Hallucinations · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was young, had been up all night and was not used to drinking coffee. Before going to work, I drank a large cup of very strong coffee... All day long, I kept asking my co-worker "what did you say?" and always got "nothing" as an answer. Sometimes I had also the feeling that somebody tapped on my shoulder. That really freaked me out. I'm glad it never happened to me since.

  19. Re:Not just the original person but all friends. on The Electronic Bastille · · Score: 1

    Yes, but only "a titre exceptionnel" (unusual circumstances). It will be the same for the health condition. So, straight people in good health should not be worried.

  20. Re:'the only person he felt he could trust.' on SF Admin Gives Up Keys To Hijacked City Network · · Score: 1

    So the guy is clean: there were no "damage, danger, denial of access to government computer systems"... only some network administration tasks could not be performed and, as the network seemed to run flowlessly, there were not required.

    Lions are not large cats, are they? I wander if there is not another word more appropriate to describe lion "purr".

    I heard tigers purring at the San Diego zoo. It sounded just like kitty purr, only much, much louder.
