Two days ago (I didn't manage to post before, freeroller.net was down when I tried), the departure of GI's for the gulf struck me. The weapons inspector say their work is far from finished, and they have not shown evidence yet. So why send people now? Is it urging? Has the security council more […]

Feedreader went Free Software
dimanche 12 janvier 2003. Tout venant
I didn't notice before, since 29th of december 2003, Feedreader is licensed under the term of the GPL. Sadly it requires Borland Delphi 6.0 Professional to be compiled (1000$ for version 7), and I haven't done Pascal for at least... 6 years. So I don't think I'll volunteer for helping (I've never […]

Regarding fiscal pressure...
samedi 11 janvier 2003. Regional news
Keith Devins says that France is a socialist country because we have some laws he doesn't grok and some high tax rate figures... Well, on this basis I would say that the USA are an oiligarchy, and it's not much better. Regarding the high tax rates, USA are taxed mainly on the capital, and France on […]
Fiscal pressure, second approach
samedi 11 janvier 2003. Regional news
Keith Devins posted a link to an OECD Observer article regarding top marginal rates. What is the top marginal rate? I'll try with a simplified example. Paul earns 1000 units a year, he's among the top earners in his country. Regarding taxes, this income can be divided like this: 200400...100 […]

Must change the color palette
mercredi 8 janvier 2003. Tout venant
After having seen several freeroller.net blogs, I was truly ashamed... I've not changed the default color theme, and I'm not the only one ^^; I've planned to do this this evening, but it's already 1:22am, and I'm still working on the internationalized version of cinemasie.com, with the subtles […]

Nintendo has betrayed us
mardi 7 janvier 2003. Cyberpunk
©nintendo They've announced the released of a new GBA with light. What can we do, us first purchasers? Either go AfterBurner'ing, or buy the new unit, with a completely new design, just in order to show us that we've bet on the wrong horse? Poor nintendo.
Poor Vivendi Universal... we can live without them
mardi 7 janvier 2003. Cyberpunk
One thing fun... today I tried to find some information on a CD published by one of the hundreds labels of Universal Music. I thought at first that it would be easy, since the vision of JM Messier is "convergence of media", their sites must be top-notch. So let's try: since I'm looking for […]
