  1. Re:Do you have any idea? on Some Hotmail Accounts Wiped · · Score: 1

    "sans" is the french word for "without", but the french word "issue" doesn't have the same meaning than the english word, as it actually means "exit".

    "sans issue" means "dead end".

  2. Re:Drupal isn't user-friendly at all on Drupal 7 Module Development · · Score: 1

    I don't understand your point... are you complaining that drupal without a wysiwyg editor is too complicated because a non-tech user can't be expected to, for example, properly put a file on a server then link to the correct url of that file?
    Or that drupal with a wysiwyg editor allows a non-tech user to do what he wants (or what he thinks he wants...), resulting in auto-generated html that is not as efficient than if someone competent in html had hand-written it?

    In short, what do you expect from a CMS exactly?

    Drupal is user-friendly if properly set up. It is indeed very difficult to do so, as it requires a fairly good knowledge of the CMS.
    But a properly set up drupal site is really easy to manage even for non-tech users. The problem is, very few sites are properly set up.

  3. Re:WRONG on Passwords Are the Weakest Link In Online Security · · Score: 1

    Really? How often do people leave their keys lying around? Or blindly hand them to a stranger?

    How often do they put their keys into their mailbox for someone else to get it in order to feed the cat while they're on vacation?

  4. Re:Audit necessary on De Raadt Doubts Alleged Backdoors Made It Into OpenBSD · · Score: 2

    The third sample failed at readability (ambiguous operator precedence) and I would have immediately subjected it to re-factoring.

    The operator precedence have nothing to do with the maliciousness of the code (if the third sample is the code from John Meacham). This part could have been refactored any way you'd like, the exploit is in the algorithm itself.

  5. Re:Can't split into 16 screens on Split Screen Co-op Is Dying · · Score: 2

    around 10 years ago, I was in high school and played 4-players Goldeneye on a 12" tv. Each player had a 6" subscreen.

    Now that I have a job and enough money to be able to buy things, I have a 42" tv. Can't imagine why I wouldn't be able to play a 16 players split-screen game with a 10.5" subscreen for each player (except I would need lots of controllers and beers).

    Yeah no kidding, I can't even use Visual C++ on this OS. What a turd...

    Worse, I wanted to print something and apparently there's no driver for my standard, HB (#2) pencil.

    What about the 2-kinects video where the scene was shown from the viewpoint of a non-existant camera located somewhere between the two kinects?

  9. Re:I guess they wanted free porn. on Porn Site Gave Federal Agents Free Rein · · Score: 1

    By paying for it, you are encouraging them to make more.

    Well, let's just put available for free on as many p2p networks as possible, and pedophiles would get their fix for free no money would go in the pockets of the filmmakers.

    After all, that's how they say it works: pirating music and movies is killing the industry, if we encourage pirating child porn this industry could totally disappear, right?

    On my computer, Shift+é is 2. Caps lock + é is É.

  11. Re:FTP on ProFTPD.org Compromised, Backdoor Distributed · · Score: 1

    There are two big open source cms: drupal and ezpublish.

    worpress is a blog engine, not a cms (even if it has some cms features and is extensible)

    joomla is certainly the worst available cms, but is widely used because it is easy to start with even without any knowledge. And this is maybe its only strong point.

    security in joomla is a joke, and with joomla and a ftp on a same server I wouldn't worry about the ftp.

    If Lucas gets someone else to direct the next Star Wars movies, he might possibly find someone as good as Kershner was, but he's got an even better chance of finding someone better than Lucas was.

    Future star wars movies could use a better director than Lucas, but what is really needed is that they find a better writer than Lucas. It should not be too difficult.

    There are people who literally pay other people to handle their Farmville account while they're on vacation. That doesn't sound like time enjoyed wasting.

    The one spending time is paid for doing so, and the one with the account does not spend his time with the game: There is no wasted time in that case. Money, however...

    Diaspora being a distributed network, reserving your username is useless because if it works, ther will be a number of different providers where you will be able to have this username.

    I haven't seen any vibrant displays of intelligence from either cats or dogs, and I've owned many of both as you have.

    My current cat (I've had several some years ago) learned how to open doors just by watching humans do it, with no training involved (we would have preferred if she never learned that). She also discovered on her own how to open the drawer under the fishtank in order to have a good place where she can sit looking at the fishes.

    But after several months she haven't figured out that no matter how hard she tries, she can't catch the fishes through the glass, so there's that...

    I think it may have something to do with java, as most java-based applications that I've ever tried on both linux and windows tend to run a lot better on linux.
