  1. Re:Leverage on Other Uses for an AGP Slot? · · Score: 1

    why do you have to retaliate on a fellow belgian? And why are you so quick in thinking
    your english is better then mine and your dutch is better then mine
    Big ego maybe???? Or are you a writer or editor of some sort
    in that case i would understand.

    but please my english has been tested and i've always scored very high in school at it without doing a fuck
    Heck i didn't even had books in the last 2 years of highschool but i graduated without ever had to redo a year.
    so STFU !!! and FYI my french and italian are probably a lot better then yours.

  15. Re:yet another drug that will be overused on Vaccine Effective Against Avian Flu · · Score: 1

    why would someone overuse a vaccin
    overusing a vaccin will not increase their effect
    nor will it make the poultry or cattle healthier or juicier.
    ...a vaccin is to be taken once

    you take vaccins which contain death or weakened viruses so your
    immunesystem has the time to adapt itself and produce proper anti bodies
    once the anti bodies are created they will be in your body untill the day you die
    and you will be immune against the virus

    obviously you don't know how a vaccin nor antibiotics work!

  18. net behaviour on Is Obsolescence Good Computer Security? · · Score: 1


    On the issue of security on dial-up vs. security on high-speed internet access
    i can't precupicate but i do know that pc newbies do tend to be hitted
    more by spy/ad-ware and or viruses simply due to the fact that their net
    behaviour changes

    instead of using kazaa to do some carefull searches reading (meta data) tags, comments, ... clicking
    one song
    they now click all the songs after only one fluky search
    and you know why?

    Because they can !
    they now have either no download limit or a limit that's usually >= 10 gigs.
    and even a capped high speed line is usually faster then a dial up line.
    i for one get 256 kb/s up and 160 kb/s down
    when they cap me after some extensivly leeching

    anyway that's just my 2 cents

  22. mmm linear shit on Tapping Trees for Electricity? · · Score: 1

    if IIRC U(V) and I(A)

    mind ..., a lot of questions arise. I wonder if a tree is a true electrolyte.
    Because most electrolyt's i've known are liquid!, H2S04, HCL, NACL+H2O, or any other
    salt in water for all i care.

  23. 1: scripting 2: simple oo 3: low-level language on Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional · · Score: 1
    Although i do not consider myself a programmer (yet)

    I used to fiddle around in the win 3.x area when i was (6-10) with qbasic copy-pasting
    those speaker sounds and alternating things in that and later alternating gorillas.bas
    I remember those days took me a lot of time to get brother jackob, frère jacques, broeder jacob to play on my pc speaker
    because we in belgium use the do-re-mi music scale instead of the C,D,...

    But that's beside the point i'm just pointing out although i had extensive experience when i was young with basic
    i left it on the kitchentable when win95/98 came out and truthfully i lost a lot of skill.
    Tried VB when i was 14 made some stupid programs to measure mathematical things of cubes, triangles, ...
    But the most fun and the biggest learning experience i had
    was when i tangled around with source: most things i learned was with gorillas.bas or the simple 2 player shoot game(vb)

    Now i'm actively making a lot of shell scripts and i'm very happy with that.
    The reason imho that i'm happy with it is probably because in a sense its programming and ... it's constantly in my head
    i use that shell daily, it doesn't see the kitchen at all so to speak.

    I want to program, you want to program but it takes time, effort and u can't let it stand on the table!
    for that and other reasons i think the best way is to: start shell scripting and then evolve to python and later c/c++
    i'm trying python and
    i'm very happy with it but it's my next on my very big todo-list there still are some things i need
    to learn in bash

    A huge advantage bash, any scripting language, python, basic have in common is that it can/must (be) interpreted
    so u don't have to compile and wait!

    it's almost instant trial and error and that helps the beginning programming experience as you can tangle with source and see the results very rapidly

    Or, as the following modern Zen poem has it:

    To follow the path:
    • look to the master,
    • follow the master,
    • walk with the master,
    • see through the master,
    • become the master.
