It's appalling to see someone that, despite being somewhat educated, still misunderstands the purpose of having mathematics as part of general curricula.
People that are into supporting their local or national sports team are often stupid wherever you go.
Educated French people -- especially young ones -- should speak English just fine, albeit with a terrible accent. Their English might not be perfect, but then neither is that of a lot of people who speak it natively.
People that know better watch American and British films and TV shows subbed, but mainstream people will watch them dubbed. However, while the dub is clearly inferior for TV shows or indie films, for big Hollywood productions it is usually quite ok.
I don't think the Star Wars dub is that bad. Sure, they renamed Darth Vader to Dark Vador to make it easier on those that can't pronounce English, but it's still very enjoyable.
If you study the past evolution of energy consumption in the US, it has been increasing continously, and that is despite equipments having been made more energy efficient. But you probably know more than the agencies doing the statistics for the government I suppose.
I have a lot of nude pictures and even videos of sexual acts with ex girlfriends that I haven't leaked or shown to anyone. I don't see the point of doing so.
The law makes you responsible for the usage that is done of your Internet connection. Therefore you cannot just share it with anyone unless you're willing to shoulder any prosecution that might be caused by their Internet usage.
You don't go to school to learn things to use for a job. You go to a school to train your mind and discover new ways of thinking.
The focus of studies on mathematics does not exist because mathematics are useful in everyday life. It exists because the methodology and precision required to work with mathematics is a good way to approach any field of work.
It is up to you to find how you can use what you've learned for any job.
In France, all have free eduction up to their doctorates (well actually, like in other countries, you actually get paid during your work as a phd student). However, France isn't quite a communist country.
One of the reasons the US are one of the leaders in technology is that they've managed to attract the most competent people worldwide by paying them more than elsewhere or giving them an environment with more means to further their work. At least half of all of the great American researchers I can think of were born outside of the US.
If they stop accepting foreign people, it means that the best researchers will just be working in other countries, and the American scene will eventually become obsolete.
I'm French as well, and I work in close partnership with academic research laboratories. A significant portion of foreign student and researchers do not bother learning French.
If we can reduce the energy consumption of a device, it just means we get to use that energy for other devices, potentially more powerful. Consumption of energy will still increase even if devices are made more energy-efficient.
All Linux distributions already use signed packages. The only difference is that the kernel doesn't enforce that all programs are signed, it's simply the application installing them that checks it.
Computer science is not suitable to be taught at primary school level. I'm not even sure it's suitable to be taught at the middle school level. Those Microsoft people are probably talking about something that's not Computer Science at all, like using a computer.
Computer Science does not require the use of a computer at all.

My burger is 100% beef since that's what the legislation requires here.
It is ultimately useless, and can therefore be considered a waste of money.
Wasting money upsets people who do not have enough.
Google has your name and many other personal information. It probably also has your country of citizenship somewhere.
Looks more like 15 minutes.
Pistol, Rifle, Machine gun, none of those terms are trademarked, they are common nouns.
Just use things like that.
So you admit to having spent a large amount of money just to look cool in front of strangers?

Wouldn't it just be simpler to move to another solar system before the Sun expands?

Well, it's actually
Do the US Owe the World an Education At Their Expense?
Why weren't you sitting in the front row?

We always want to do more, not do less.
Or we're simply getting energy from outside Earth.
Actually, no energy is renewable.
The Sun has a finite amount of energy.
No, of course not. You may move on now.
