  1. nuclear, not electric... on Paris Launches World's First Electric Car Share Program · · Score: 1

    ... was the tagline of an old french TV ad.

    Because that's the case : every country wants to get rid of nuclear energy, but in the same time push for electric devices, cars, and so on ....

    Anybody actually sees the paradox ?

  2. Insane on EU Demands Explicit Geo-Location Permissions · · Score: 2

    "require companies to get explicit permission" => yes, and so what ? the user will see a nice popup when starting the phone, and if he doesn't accept the terms and conditions, he won't be able to use the phone ? crap...

  3. Not the real question on Dollar Apps Killing Traditional Gaming? · · Score: 1

    "How do you sell someone a $60 game that's really worth it?"
    The real question is :
    "Is a $60 game ever worth it ?"
    Prices have always been too high, from Nintendo NES cardridge to the last XBox game. That's also why you find piracy.
    We want some $20 to $30 Games.

  4. Chris Hülsbeck on Grammy Awards Finally Giving Games Some Respect · · Score: 1

    I hope Chris Hülsbeck (http://www.huelsbeck.com/) will have some reward for his career, one day ...

    Some of the music he has composed :
    - R-Type
    - Giana Sisters
    - Turrican 1, 2 and 3
    - Apidya
    - Tunnel B1
    - Extreme Assault
    ....

  5. 13 years ... on Open Source Guy Takes the Hardest Job At Microsoft · · Score: 2

    13 years later, Microsoft realizes that PHP is so much better than .NET. Congrats.

  6. Tunisian General ? on WikiLeaks, Internet Nominees For Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What about Rachid Ammar, the Tunisian General who :
    - denied a direct order to shoot on civilians,
    - put Ben Ali on a place with a kick in his ass,
    - protected the people from armed militia ?

  7. Everytime :) on Super Mario Coming To the 3DS · · Score: 1

    Well, we could expect that: I don't think there is one Nintendo system on which there isn't a Super Mario game ;)

  8. carmageddon on Are Gamers Safer Drivers? · · Score: 2

    Carmageddon really made me a better driver : I'm able to get a triple combo bonus when aiming an old lady, followed by a kid, then a dog.

  9. Re:Light on details on How Facebook Responded To Tunisian Hacks · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but even if you criticize a huge censorship, I find the fact that you saying "they don't seem smart enough" quite offended for Tunisians...
    Don't forget they're not red necks, and that they are highly educated.

  10. Both Evil on Google vs. Bing — a Quasi-Empirical Study · · Score: 1

    Since you think that, would you think that an open source browser like Firefox should offer Bing as a default search engine ?

    I mean, if Google is the bad guy, only interested in our personal data and displaying ads, and Bing the good guy only offering a search engine to help humanity, would this be the best option ?

    Can't you see that there are both evil ?

  11. Re:Desired future news: on 'SMS of Death' Could Crash Many Mobile Phones · · Score: 2

    How would you get people's phone number ?

    You have the button, but this is better : you have the EXCUSE

  13. Ahhhhhhhhh on 'SMS of Death' Could Crash Many Mobile Phones · · Score: 2, Funny

    Peace, at last !
    No more stupid ring tones, no more boss (or wife) calls...
    GREAT !

  14. Re:I have an Android phone .... on The 10 Best Android Hacks · · Score: 1

    Be nice, everybody's not english, here, you know ;)

  15. I have an Android phone .... on The 10 Best Android Hacks · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ... but it could be nice to have anything usefull among those hacks, don't you think ?

  16. I don't live in the same Paris on Paris To Test Banning SUVs In the City · · Score: 1

    "Residents and travelers have responded by buying thousands of electric cars"
    ???
    I definitely don't live in the Paris you're talking about :)))
    More, Denis Baupin doesn't rule the city. He's just an advisor.
    Hopefully, because I think he's just always into excess.

  17. I don't get it on Woman Sues Google Over Street View Shots of Her Underwear · · Score: 1

    It's still better to HAVE underwear that to have NO underwear ... So why would she be was "overwhelmed with anxiety" ??? This is just about money ...

  18. Reminds me something... on Labor Lockout Lingers At Honeywell Nuclear Plant · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Everything is under control, our main Technical Adviser is Homer Simpson."

  19. leaks on BSD Coder Denies Adding FBI Backdoor · · Score: 1

    They can deny: in a couple of days we'll find evidences on wikileaks...

  20. Re:Good choice on TIME Names Mark Zuckerberg Person of Year · · Score: 1

    *** Pwned *** -- Jimpqfly

  21. Re:Good choice on TIME Names Mark Zuckerberg Person of Year · · Score: 1

    Nice invention which allows me to reconnect with old College & high school mates I'VE NEVER WANTED WANT TO SEE in 10-15 years (since graduation). Crap.

  22. Mispelling on the NELL name on Meet NELL, the Computer That Learns From the Net · · Score: 1

    Readers should obviously have read "SKYNET". All our apologies.

  23. PC was the 1990 crappiest gaming system... on The Best Video Games On Awful Systems · · Score: 1

    The crappiest gaming system of the 90's was the PC :) Remember GP EGA ? Sherman M4 ? Xenon 2 ? All these CGA/EGA gems that we forgot ? (and I agree, Tempest 2000 on Atari Jaguar is really impressive !)

  24. European anticipation on Facebook Adds Delete Account Option · · Score: 1

    Facebook is just anticipating a European decision, since this "deleting" instead of "disactivating" option will be required soon. They don't want bad advertisement, so they act quickly. It's actually a very good idea, and a smart move from them.

  25. Simple to remember, Hard to crack on Passwords That Are Simple — and Safe(?) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Think about a sentence, take the first letter of each word, include a digit : you got your password.
