  1. Or OpenLaszlo ? on SWT, Swing, or AWT - Which Is Right For You? · · Score: 1

    Even OpenLaszlo (widget system using flash, and being open-source) can be good for this, enabling a good user interaction (just like a real desktop app), and permitting to use any server-side language to do the right job...

    I mean, isn't that a good solution ? :) (as well as AJAX, but with less work, since you use real widgets)

  2. Re:This is going down on Free P2P In France? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Mhh.. UMP is the majority party in France (they are right-wing), but they do this to actually gain popularity and remove this amendment later.

  3. Re:simpy on Yahoo! Buys del.icio.us · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I know I'll get modded down for this, but I really do dislike yahoo for their strategy...

    So maybe I'll stop using del.icio.us (even if I really do love it) now that it has been bought by yahoo, and try simpy!

    Thx for the tip men !

  5. Mars tracks will be prettier now ! on Mini Satellites Could Revolutionize Space Industry · · Score: 1

    Ahhhh !!! At least, now those will be prettier and smaller !
    Imagine R2D2 as a milk carton flying thru space, sending information and landing on mars !

  6. Re:More readable format? on J Allard Interviewed · · Score: 1

    The fact of the matter is that I'm typing this on the Microsoft "core" keyboard, which does not include a Shift key. Our market research indicates nearly 75% of our target market prefers to be lazy and not use a shift key. While our "premium" keyboard does offer this advanced technology, one was not available at the time of this interview.

    Wow, what an advanced technology is the shift key !

    Microsoft just discovered it's use, and now it's an advanced tech... Woo hoo !

  7. Re:note to self: do not work for me on Is Your Boss a Psychopath? · · Score: 1

    "Myself !!! Go back to work or I kill you !" 2 days later on the news : "A Pyschopath Boss killed himself wanting to kill his employee: too bad for him, he was schyzophrenic"

  8. Obligatory Coral Cached link... on Kurt Cagle's OpenSVG Keynote · · Score: 1

    640 years reading the 640.000.000+ spams he sent on a 640x480 computer screen on an old computer of only 640k of memory... Hmmm TASTY !

  10. Re:POLL: what do you call 50 spammers in jail? on Spammer Scott Levine Convicted · · Score: 1

    5. A new meat for all the guys in this jail who once had an email account ? "Mhh... A new meat on the ass menu tonight !"

  11. Re:woo on Build Your Business With Open Source · · Score: 1

    Ah, then I'm not the only one to have missed what is funny in his post :)

    But, on the subject,
    I think it's really interesting to see something like this about businnesses models built around OSS software... Being an open-source developer and a worker in an IT company, I really agree with some things said in it... And I of course use a lot of OSS software in my business :)

  12. Conary and ForesightLinux :) on Getting Open Source to the Dialup Masses · · Score: 1

    Yup, you are right this is a bad thing...

    That's why the conary package system is there :)
    It uses binary diffs for updates and use changesets instead of packages...

    Try it on our distribution, Foresight Linux... http://www.foresightlinux.com/

  15. really ? then I should give up ? on IT Giants Accused of Exploiting Open Source · · Score: 0

    Yeah, I code open-source software...
    Why ? because I enjoy it, but first because I enjoy helping people, and because I want a better world :)

  16. mmh... why franchising ? on LSB to Provide Standards as Optional Modules · · Score: 0

    A certification should be awarder by a consistent comitee, why franchise it ? Alsoi, the modularity of standard is a really good thing because of the development cycle of new application and technology reducing at an higher rate these years. What I'm waiting for is something like "Appli. server LSB", "Web Server LSB" etc... With consistent versionning (no more specific distros range of application versions...).
