  1. By the way on How Feds are Dropping the Ball on IPv6 · · Score: 1

    One of the major french ISP has activated IPv6 last week, with autoconfiguration of user lan with global scope address. It's the first step for IPv6 here in france, and only geeks activated that option, but if a major application has success with IPv6 (read : a P2P file sharing that work well and only in IPv6), It is very likely that many people will activate it. The major problem is that people use their NAT as an "automatic" firewall, and i wonder the impact of global scope IPv6 address will have on machines corruption. Certainly a few impact at this time, but for the future, i don't know.

    Anyway, get prepared for more and more IPv6 traffic, at least from france :)

  3. Re:3 ideas on Best Way To Teach Oneself Math? · · Score: 1

    He is not : he just wanted to say that people who use ISS servers are less likely to build cross-browser websites, with a code that displays thing correctly. FYI if you build quickly a website for IE there is almost no chance that it'll be displayed correctly in Firefox. The invert is also true, but since firefox respects much more web standards than IE, firefox is the right way, and IE the wrong. Having a website for IE _and_ firefox needs work, and i wish u could bill that extra work to microsoft. They should pay for that waisted time.

    Well you can't say that minitel was an interconnected network. Minitel was just a terminal which dialed up centralized servers, servers that generally didn't communicate between each other.

  5. Initiation ... on Thinking about Rails? Think Again · · Score: 1

    Think again ? no ! rush into rails learn how a good framework is built, and apply it to whatever technology you use. This is how i work, and it goes very well.

    Derek admits it at the end of TFA, too bashfully. But i don't see any shame in having to go through rails to know how to write good php code.

  6. Next gen Virus on A Proof-of-Concept Virus for iPods Running Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hey, i made a multi platform virus that can infect almost any existing computer. And it's easy to spread : just compile following code : #include "stdio.h" int main (void) { printf("YOU ARE INFECTED BY ULTRAdOOM NExT gen, F3AR THE L0RD !!\n"); exit 0; } Launch and here you are ! (yes, i know, i should have posted that on my blog and write a story for Slashdot)

  7. French Provider : Free on The U.S. Falling Behind In Broadband? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here in france, we have a wonderfull provider : Free (iliad group) Read : - Broadband connection up to 25Mb/s (depending of distance from DSLAM) - They have introduced in france the "box" concept, an adatper that do VOIP (compatible with traditional phone, at incredible prices - generally free), ethernet switch, router, and initially TV output - now TV output is on a secondary device, connected to the main (linked to the DSL line) with a MIMO wifi connection. It provides HDCP connectors and all needed for HD TV. - the TV output features : numerical hertzian TV, DSL TV, Video On Demand, records channel, record channel while watching another one (40Go integrated Hard Disk, also accessible through FTP, to put and watch a DivX on, for example) - you can watch many of TV streams on your computer through RDCP protocol - the phone system can be used with SIP exactly as if you used the phone connected to the "box" More, they have recently announced fibre channel with a 70Mb _symetric_ line. All that at the unique price of ... 30. The offer depends of the kind of connection (ADSL2+, ADSL, direct connection to free network or not, and in near future fibre channel), but it's the same price. You can have all services listed above, or a simple 8Mb/s line with VOIP.

  8. Re:Won't it require a bunch of new hardware too? on Tech Manufacturers Rally Against Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Sure they only see a huge market for specific hardware. I'm not a network admin, but i suppose that few and expensive routers are designed to control bandwith depending of paquet destination easily.

  9. Re:Not that I question Barrett's qualifications on Former Hacker Irks Microsoft in EU Dispute · · Score: 1

    I am sorry but the statement variable or not variable is necessary true, whatever the language you use. Why ? because even if variable has a state which connot be true or false, it shouldn't return true or false. Worse, here, the result means that the not operator has been redefined for the null value. That's a terrible witness about asp language. A language should not do that. You must not redefine operators if you can convert data. That means that variable should be converted to a boolean value and the not operator be applied to a boolean value. Because this is the expected behaviour. If this is expected, this is the correct behaviour. Ok, you can say "But the null value cannot be converted to a boolean value !". Then if it cannot be done, the language should not allow it, and refuse to compile for compiled ones or break the code path for interpreted ones. Not return an arbitrary result.

  10. Re:This isn't about suicide. It's about MURDER. on Internet Suicide Pacts Surge in Japan · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People you kill don't want to die (or why kill them, then ?). I would not say Encouraging someone to commit suicide but Help someone to commit suicide because that's something hard to do. And when you help someone, they reply thank you. There is a deep moral difference with muder, isn't it ?
