Even with an "independant" judge, this case has little change of going anywhere as the French Government does not want the public get all stirred up on US snooping in fear that we will take a closer look at the DGSE's snooping. Wouldn't want to draw any more attention to the Minister who said that "our snooping is legal because we have laws that say that we can snoop on people".
Meanwhile, the DGSE's even wider scoped snooping on anything/anyone they like was neatly swept under the rug by the French government. Because, snooping by anyone else, like the NSA or the GCHQ is cause for inflated displays of moral indignancy, but when the the French Government does it, well that's normal.
The problem with AQ isn't with those that have a mere dislike for western democracies, but for the radical muslims at the top of AQ that actively push for forced islamisation of everyone & use terrorism to do so. As I stated initially, they will not stop until all the infidels have been eliminated/converted & western democracies are just the biggest target. Iran & the recently evicted Islamists that were pushed out of northern Mali shows that dictatorships (& western support of such) are not the problem in their eyes as the radical muslims readily accept repressive dictators -- as long as they are the same flavor of Islam that the radicals are pushing.
Your point that it is US/western support for dictators just isn't born out other than as an excuse.
Please don't make the mistake of assuming that I use the US press as my main source of info & again attempt to knock down that strawman.
Except in France where the wearing of fully obscuring vestments in many public situations has been outlawed in the name of women's rights & public security.
That would be one of you anonymous coward bastards who like to whine but are too karma banned from their constant trolling to use their account to post stuff. AQ as radical Muslims, hate anyone who is not a radical Muslim. The fact that that coincides with the western democracies is an accident. Were we to disappear in a puff of smoke, they would merely turn to the next most predominate political system to hate.
Instead of repeatedly talking from ignorance, why don't you read Musk's proposal? It covers the use of the highway in detail, showing that there is no problem on the route he proposes.
What, not your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th... amendment rights, too?
Ohhh, that's right, you're not a constitutional lawyer & your uninformed opinion of what is & what isn't a fourth amendment violation is clearly useless other than to spread FUD.
Well, then despite the tens of millions of dollars they have spent on marketing the thing, MS has been unable to get anyone other than MS dweebs to clearly differentiate between the RT & the Pro. Even so, RT & Pro sales lumped together are abysmal so the point is moot.
The most important part is that between calibre & ApprenticeAlfs de drm tools, every ebook purchased on Amazon can be de-DRMed in 10 seconds. I buy non-DRMed books whenever possible & remove the DRM on the rest.
I'd like to buy the DRMed stuff elsewhere like in the apple store to push competition in this amazon dominated marketplace but not being able to remove the junk brings be back to amazon.
My father has a farm in wellsville NY, inside the Marcellus shale region. The problem with methane saturated water wells long predates the use of fracking as the area is filled with played out oil wells from the initial oil boom in the late 1880's but hey, why be rational when complaining about fracking gets you in the news...
Well then it's funny that the DGSE's data vacuuming doesn't make those distinctions without everybody making a big stink about it isn't it? Ahhh, but it's only a problem when the US does it, right?
Given the geographical position that France is in, much of the transatlantic traffic passes through France & thus is snooped by the DGSE, so no I don't think that this is merely an internal French issue. It's hard to be hypocritical in condemning US behaviour, but purposefully ignoring French acts helps.
Don't assume that because you you don't know how to make sure that a sinking container could be cast/cut off fast enough to avoid losing a boat (or just the cleat), nobody else could possibly use the proper equipment to do so...
When Facebook/Google sells to local businesses in Europe, it does not matter that f/g is entirely off shored as they need Ely block the money. For an example of how off shored businesses can be brought to heel, see the gambling sites the USG has been blocking.
What I'd really like to know is whether Merkel's rule only apply to US corporations. In other words, will France's DGSE's collection of the same information as that the USG is collecting through US Corporations get a free pass? From the info I can find, it seems so...
I would suggest that you reread your comments as they were clearly minimizing Stalin's acts because they were producers/farmers, as if that made the slightest difference. When the commissars came escorted by soldiers & took everything edible, including all seed grain for the next year, you cannot possibly claim that the desired result result was anything less than genocide. Unless your name is Tamerlane, one can make war without attempting to kill everyone. Stalin chose genocide in the Ukraine.
Care to point out the racially motivated riots that happened after the lacrosse players were judged not guilty? Any news reports detailing people throughout the country vowing to take revenge? No, you can't so stop attempting to minimize how soon Zimmerman & his family will be able to shrug off their coming ordeal.
Besides which, I doubt you would like to disappear into a hole for 5 years & again I'd doubt your working relationships would be worth much in 5 years, either.
The horror of the extermination Stalin perpetrated on the Ukrainian people in the name of socialism by Stalin is in no way lessened because they were farmers. This was not war, it was genocide & the result was neither starving nor sickness, it was death.
No, An easier way to see it is if a North Korea detonated a nuclear weapon in a major US city. What? You don't see the analogy because I changed the facts to make it completely inapplicable? Well, if you can do that, so can everyone else.
If you agree that socialism generally segues into fascism (while continuing to pretend to be socialist) once the ruling party becomes entrenched, then I agree with you.
If Zimmerman has to change his name & move, so does his wife. Ones worth in the marketplace is often not as much what you know, but who (business relations, ex colleagues that give a helping hand, friends from college, etc). His wife may lose much more in this life reset than he will.

Unlimited resources? Using such hyperbole only makes you look like a loon.

Two what? two dancing pigs? Ya gotta be more detailed.
Two guys? That was my point.
Who said that there was a girl/woman involved? This is San Francisco after all...

Stalin "allowed" territories to starve?!? No, Stalin deliberately removed as much food as he could from the Ukraine through forced collectivisation in order to exterminate Ukrainian nationalism
