How do you then explain the millions of illegal aliens who freely live there, buy homes, drive cars, get bank accounts, get welfare, get utility accounts and cellphone accounts, etc?
Second, Airbus is a brand new company, so that the flaws they have in their systems is yet to be fully realized. The Boeing planes you speak of are decades old.
So, how old are you? Airbus was founded in 1967 and the first plane flew in 1972 (the A300). The A320 flew for the first time in 1987, 22 years ago.
VLC is much more than a video player, which may be part of it's downfall. Notice the name implying network connections, almost like it may have originally been meant for some other purpose. Like streaming video as a server...
Not exactly, the "C" in VLC is "Client". You want (or rather were supposed to want) VLS for streaming as a server. But over time VLC grew to do all the things VLS did, and more, so bye bye VLS.
Of course, we know the reason why people who have no intention of complying with the GPL use it; it's because they want to curry favour with the freaks who've drunk sufficient amounts of Stallman's Kool Aid that they actually think it's a genuinely worthwhile license.
EDOESNOTCOMPUTE
Stealing GPL code as a way to curry favour with FSF fans?
The idea that you can't just let people go whenever you want is bizarre.
Here in France people have these things called Employment contracts. Strangely enough, like all other kinds of contracts the limit the actions of both parties to the contract.
What do you do if you're a company in France and no longer need some of your workers?
If you need to fire someone for economic reasons you follow the agreed procedures. In effect you tell 'em you're firing them for economic reasons, you tell the social security and so on, you give 'em whatever notice they're entitled to and so on. If you suddenly find you need to employ some new people you'd better make sure to offer the jobs to the people you just fired.
Do you have to wait for them to make some [un]acceptable mistake?
If you're a cheap bastard.
What if times are bad and you can't afford to pay them?
If you can't pay your bills you've gone bust and must cease trading immediately or risk prison. If you want you can go to the courts and try to work out a bankruptcy deal.
What if he's just a jerk and no one wants to work with him anymore?
Then you fire him for "faut grave". Make sure that whatever you accuse him of is really grounds for dismissal, or the employment tribunal will bite you in the wallet.
The problem with Sarko is that he's identified many areas that need reform, but almost all of his reforms are simply wrong. He also turns out not to have the balls to get them enacted, a perennial problem with French politicians.
The kernel is 60 Mb compressed, these days. That's bloated as hell. Linus and friends are way too focused on the big iron that is being used by their corporate sponsors; the whole flap with Con Kolivas showed that.
What are you smoking?

Which is exactly what they did in France - the first power generating plants were build to power the enrichment plant.
Like you say, it's a fucking obvious idea, you'd have to be brain dead not to think of it.
eeew, a 34dpi screen. What low resolution.
[citation needed] you racist little shit.
Woooooosh!
With every packet of cornflakes.
What's "right" exactly?
That this open source app could be ported to many mobile SD capable devices? Like many smartphones for example?
Please explain the connection between lack of expandability and a nice database.
Correlation is not causation.
So stick a bigger SD card in it already.
Neutrinos are not tachyons. Neutrinos appear to have some (small, non-imaginary) mass so they travel slower than light.
Yes, it should be disemplane, not deplane.
You find it fascinating that Boeing is still spreading FUD about Airbus? As long as they're both still in business this crap will continue.
So, how old are you? Airbus was founded in 1967 and the first plane flew in 1972 (the A300). The A320 flew for the first time in 1987, 22 years ago.

You seem to be losing it.
Ah well, just have to think of some other use for it. :-(

So many misconceptions, where to start.
TF1 is not under the control of the government, it's under the control of the "friends" of the President.
It would make more sense to say that the government was under the control of (the owners of) TF1.
Who cares about the size of the source? He was whining about bloat. If bloat isn't compiled into the kernel I'm using why should I care?
What are you smoking?

If a process using 100% of your cpu "cripples" your machine your OS is broken,
What do you mean "the IBM implementation"? Which IBM implementation?
Check out IBM's list
Nearly 400 different versions.
I'll stick in a maximum bid of $699, no way anyone's going to go over that.
Hi there Mall Ninja, how they hangin?
Wow, flamebait - must have been moderated by someone from the Met.
