<t>James, I fully agree with you...but it's not that simpleI mean, you can always follow all the lectures you want - a bit what I did - but since you don't pass the exam as you're not a regular student, how can you proove your level?

Supersymmetric People

I indeed already heard about that...but, if this supersymmetric world exists and has an evoluate civilization such as ours, people there sould also use nuclear bombs in their world...and by symetry, it should cause damage to people of "our world"...is it too naive?

Disk Crash......Help!!

<t>I also realized that 20 cents coins of the old french franc (3 cents today...) are very good conductor, and should not fall into the chipsets while the computer is running....a little bit hard to destroy your new computer with only 3 cents!maybe I'll try with the new euro coins one of these days....
