  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Comment fabriquer des adresses IP…

    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...( read more )
