  1. Tripping the rift on "The Chronicles of Amber" and "The Forever War" For TV · · Score: 1

    Doesn't that sound just like Red dwarf?

    Lister: "Hey dude, is our ship, like, attacked?"
    Kryten: "Engage lie mode. No sir."

    weeeeee \o/ !

    In France there we had this great tv show called 'Objectif nul' which was the trashy version of Red Dwarf. I'd be curious to see what you guys over the ocean will come up with :)

  2. Mods: that's not funny on Borking Outlook Express · · Score: 1

    It's actuall informative!

    what a sad world :/

  3. Re:And why can't you use Java? on Portable Coding and Cross-Platform Libraries? · · Score: 1

    because Java I/O libs are a nightmare, and the network support [what they call socket] is, at best, a poor joke.

    the stunts one have to make to work with async sockets.

  4. more powerful than a DDOSing red code on CAIDA Released Code-Red Worm Post Mortem · · Score: 1

    The /. DDOS effect.

    I bet the author of the virus planned the /. effect on websites talking about the defeat of his creation as a revenge...

    mirrors anyone?

  5. Re:On a related note... on Challenging The OEMs on Java · · Score: 1
  6. Oops... triggered the alarm.. on Sun Launches JXTA · · Score: 1

    Too used to boring meetings, this article just triggered my Bullshit bingo reflex....

  7. Re:It's good to see Australia contribute on Linux On Solid State Disk · · Score: 1

    Insightful??? excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me?

  8. Walter jon william's hardwired on Shadowrunning In The Corporate Republic · · Score: 1

    is another source of _great_ cyberpunk mythology !

    Go forth and readth it!

  9. I use XML quite often on Can XML Replace Proprietary Document Formats? · · Score: 1
    and the nice thing is that you focus on content!
    after my content is okay, I start building the look of my doc with a css stylesheet.
    The result is that any XML browser can render it the same way.
    My tools are:

    Editor: Morphon XML editor [java]

    Browser: Mozilla

  10. Re:Preemptive denial of service? on IRCnet Servers Strike To Protest DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    Well Van Gogh did in fact cut his ear to fulfill his main duty : painting.

    In fact he was painting an autoportrait and after many a try he didn't succeed in painting his right ear in a good way.

    So he took the easy way :)

    Someone tell me why god placed the X and C keys so close one of the other!

  11. This can't be /. anymore! on 24-Hour Power Cells for Wearable PCs · · Score: 1

    What!
    Is there some kind of space-time perturbation?

    No ac has yet suggested to make a beowulf cluster out o' them.

    I don't know wether I should find this reassuring or not...

  12. Got one of them.. *SPOILER* on The GCHQ Challenge · · Score: 1

    in the first section














    ... -and more important- tasks ...
    one two three four five.. This one seems to be a good candidate

  13. Transcript available?? on Geeks In Space: Easy Listening · · Score: 1

    Well, since there seems to be a fuzz around GIS, I tried my frenchie's ear at it.. well is there a text transcript anywhere :( --

  14. Then what's the use of PGP?? on Echelon Confirmed by Australians · · Score: 1

    Well, please correct me if I make a mistake, but if I were a top-notch terrorist or heavyweight cocaine dealer, I would encrypt each sensitive message using PGP or a hand-made scrambler.

    So what's the point in monitoring emails if you can't get any useful content? [unless of course pgp can be broken with moderate efforts, but i don't know about it].
