  • Orange : youtube, c’est toujours pas ça…

    Beaucoup d’abonnés Orange rêvent encore d’obtenir un débit potable sur certains sites , et particulièrement sur YouTube ou MegaUpload. En effet, il ne faut pas espérer voir Rambo en 1080p ( :-) ) de manière fluide, à une heure décente, avec Orange, ce n’est pas moins de 20 secondes qu’il vous faudra...

  • Orange : Opentransit négocie avec Cogent, les abonnés trinquent

    La principale raison pour laquelle je me suis abonné à Wanadoo Orange il y a bientôt 10 ans et pour laquelle j’y suis resté aussi longtemps est la qualité du réseau (juste après la présence d’une agence FT/Orange près de chez moi). Seulement, depuis quelques semaines, mon internet “Orange inside” (international...

  • Windows crash recovery

    Last night I accidentally pulled out the wrong power plugs, crashing my computer. For some reason this meant it wouldn’t start properly. I don’t quite get why that would mean it wouldn’t start as the hard disc didn’t fail, but none the less it wouldn’t : the computer would seemingly just hang and the...

  • [Rant] Taxed to enter the US on holiday? No thanks I’ll stay in Europe...

    What’s happened to the World? I don’t remember as a child ALL THE TIME the news being dominated by money and taxes (and this was BEFORE the Credit Crunch which a LOT of companies are just using as smoke and mirrors to hide behind). With rising aviation...

  • To comment or not to comment

    Introduction Anyone that has ever taken a programming class or read a beginners book on the subject know how important it is to write comments in your code. But is that really true? In this post I’m going to discuss/question the common practice of writing comments in your code. Bad comments A couple...

  • Copy and Paste programming – A bad habit

    Introduction I usually stay away from religious discussions when it comes to programming habits and technology choices simply because they don’t usually make any sense at all and are most often just based on emotions. Arguing if VB.Net is better or worse than C# is just nonsense in my book since the...

  • Hotel Internet Connections

    Why are hotel internet connections so bad.  They are notoriously overpriced and then they don’t work properly. You can connect to a site – log off – have dinner - come back – connect to the same site and the site won’t be found. I have had this experience in two different hotels in the last month...

  • A real windows 7 annoyance

    One thing that is really driving me nuts with windows 7 is the way it keeps deciding to maximise Windows just because I happen to move them to a particular point on screen. if I want a Window maximised I will maximise it. Stop making decisions on my behalf. I’ve had to use Windows XP recently and it...

  • Why Live Maps sucks compared to Google maps

    The user experience of Live Maps completely sucks compared to Google Maps. It’s that bad I really don’t think they even bother testing it.   Live Maps experience: go to maps.live.com. Here it redirects to http://maps.live.com.au/? which seems to fail to properly load every single time. Instead you...

  • HADOPI : adopté… 10 voix pour, 4 contre, 528 absents !!!

    J’en reste stupéfait. Je ne comprends pas qu’il soit possible de voter dans de telles conditions, ni qu’il soit loyal de profiter de l’absence des opposants pour passer en force… A lire : Évidemment qu’on savait que la loi Hadopi allait forcément être votée. C’est le “jeu” de la démocratie, et surtout...

  • Hadopi : encore une perle…

    “les mails seront envoyés par la Haute autorité et, bien sûr, le système sera complètement automatisé ; cela est possible et cela fait partie des engagements pris, lors des accords de l'Élysée, par les fournisseurs d'accès à Internet. En outre, je ne vois pas quel éditeur produira des logiciels...

  • The floppy: It’s back …….

    In breaking news today Microsoft announced it will be releasing Windows 7 and Office 2010 on floppy disk !  Microsoft said it heard complaints from customers that their old floppy drives were made obsolete because Microsoft didn’t release software on floppy disks.  They also heard complaints...

  • Microsoft: make VB like C#

    I was reading yet another VB versus C# rant: I don’t want to get sucked into wading into that, but I will say that anyone who thinks folks that use VB can’t use C# has really got things back the front.  Most people who use VB can read and write C# quite well; they choose VB knowing both.  Whereas...

    Merci pour le fou rire ! Que ne ferait on pas pour décrédibiliser un opposant… (enfin, quand je dis un, je me comprends, hein ! ;-) ) " la Quadrature du Net prétend porter la voix de centaines de milliers d'internautes mais nous savons qu'ils ne sont pas représentatifs (...) Il s'agit...

  • Live Essentials Update Rant

    Today when I tried to log in to Live Messenger I was notified of a required update. The dialog said that I must install this update before I can log in, so it’s not an optional update. The update itself didn’t come as a surprise, I had read about it some days ago on the Windows Live Team blog , however...

  • UAC & Windows : Une fausse impression de sécurité.

    Le problème avec Windows est que Microsoft a toujours voulu privilégier la facilité d’utilisation au détriment de la sécurité. Un grand pas en avant a été fait avec Vista et l’UAC et contribuait à éduquer les Windowsiens à utiliser leur ordinateur en mode “utilisateur” (par opposition au mode “administrateur...

  • [Rant] Where is it all going to end?

    Watching the News last night it was sad to see the scenes of the riots in the streets of Paris and hearing about the Greek farmers blockading the principle motorway for a week but I understand these people’s frustrations and I can sympathise with them...

    With the UK in recession and the start of a new year I’ve been looking over my finances to see if there was anyway I could save money. I ALWAYS use Internet price comparison sites when it comes to renewing my car insurance (this month being no exception...
