  1. Re:Phew! on U.S. to Require Passport To Re-Enter Country · · Score: 0

    I think you're wrong.

    Prussians (not germans) had had ID Cards for years before forcing French occupied people to have those famous ID Cards. That's why everybody in "Europe" was freaked out : Ennemies of a Nation who occupy your country, then forced people to have an ID Card.

    I might be wrong, but it seems that UK citizens don't have any ID Card. But of course, it's not part of Europe...

    you mean you have something similar to this ?

    Oh my ! Perhaps you need to run linux on windows (thanks to cygwin) to launch Java on Mono (Ikvm) and then trying to launch eclipse first.

    I don't know. I think it isn't hopeless to try It. But, sure, you won't run Q3. Only the "sort of" uber optimized Q2 Java version. Sorry. And for information, Apple won't ship iQuake.

    Oh you mean like this one ? oh sorry, I didn't see "idle"... mine you cannot know where it is... I'm sure it's a Windows' bug...

    Go talking to Nils HellStrom... He would tell you how far your are from reality.
    Workers in the hive only work. They are selected at birth to be workers. And bad workers won't be sent to the "cuve", because of their weakness (being bad workers). It's not that unproductive labor is bad, it's that in the hive every work is productive.
    Well, on a such geeky website, I'd never had imagined telling someone : "Go back first school reading Herbert" =o)

  5. Re:They're too "static" on A History of Icons · · Score: 0

    Yeah, nice idea. Now when you'll forget not to say YES on the "'d you want to install your favorite activeX", you won't see the tiny dozen of Meg4Pr0n icons.

    Instead you'll see a bunch of hot (or not so...) chicks begging you for a little (stick what you want there... err...).

    Then you will understand that (future) MS Parental Filter is your solution against movicons (is it patented ?) and what means Microsoft LongHorn(y) and why slashdotters can't stand waiting for it...

    No no, don't mind me, I'm not trying to give good ideas to the http://www.goatse.cx/ guy...

  6. Re:grocery stores on Chicago To Consider City-Wide Wireless Network · · Score: 0

    No need to go this far.

    In France you can see major companies that are state-run. Electricity is a monopoly. Rail Transport is also a monopoly. Telephony is also... Oh no, concurrency appears.

    And you know what ? Electricity isn't cheap. Transport isn't cheap. Telephony isn't cheap.

    The funniest thing in this story ? 0.2% of French people work for this companies. Guess who's the power to paralyse the country ? Guess who's talking for the 60 million french people ?

    Nevermind, they're paid on your taxes and on their "sales".

    Is being against corporatism being conservative ? If then, I AM conservative.

  7. Re:Slogan on Windows Cluster Edition · · Score: 0

    Mmmmh what makes an OS more usable/powerful in a cluster than an other one...

    I just thank about QNX. This OS has built-in cluster support. Resources are treated the same way if they're one your own node or in an another none, network is "transparent". If you plug a new machine, its resources will be used, even if this machine has just kernel + memory and/or storage space... Your network is only one machine then. You can plug-unplug a machine/resource easily, even when running. And since the OS is POSIX compliant most of your linux/unix application can run on it.

    I also heart that MOSIX supports hot plug-unplug. and you application doesn't HAVE to be adapted to MOSIX, since it's a linux kernel patch. The more threads you have, the more your hard-stressing application use threads, the more the load will be balanced on the cluster.

    Is that so hard to imagine only the idea that some OS are designed for cluster and then to find what would make an os more usable/powerful for clusters ?

  8. Re:why people try to give sense to their words... on France National Library Attacks Google Book Effort · · Score: 0

    Some people want their words to have sense, and to represent something. In France you can say sapm without being killed instantly. But some people prefer to say pourriel (yeah in Burger-Overweight country you can find people who say junk mail... but who cares...)

  10. What about QNX ? on Comparing MySQL Performance · · Score: 0

    Unfortunately too much people forget about QNX when they make their benchmarks...

    MySQL and PostgreSQL have been ported to QNX, and QNX clustering capabilities are amazing, because of it's built-in distributed architecture...

    Perhaps a benchmark including a distributed realtime micro-kernel could make a better comparison...
