Contractors are a nifty feature of modern corporations. When shit hits the fan, the big firm can say it did nothing wrong, it was the contractor fault. On the other hand, the contractor does not care, PR is not its problem.
IMO the big firm should be fully liable, including in PR area. We should never hear about "the contractor fault". They chose to outsource, now if the work was badly done, it is their problem, they just have to sue the contractor for the loss.
France has two police forces. Police Nationale, and Gendarmerie Nationale. The former is civilian and mostly operate in cities, while the latter is military and mostly operate in rural area.
Both can do investigation for justice, which is where it is convenient. If for some reason an investigation is stuck, it is always possible to replace Police Nationale investigators by Gendarmerie Nationale, or the other way around.
US itself weight for 50% of word military expenses. US and NATO allies weight 80%. Considering the numbers, one could ask who is the enemy that is worth such an expense. If such an enemy exists...
Frankly, I do not know what you are talking about. In european countries with socialized healthcare, people can choose their doctors, this is a fact.
And for the nazis that had the word "socialist" in their party's name, what is your point? The fact that some extremists grab and distort a concept does not invalidates it. North Korea official name is "Democratic People's Republic of Korea", and it is no democracy. That does not prove democracy equals dictatorship in the rest of the world.
[Socialized medicine does not have to be slow and weak]: Yet, it is.
Compared to what? healthcare that most cannot afford?
But every time they are tried [something else than capitalism], people die in the millions.
First, socialized healthcare does not mean going out of capitalism. In countries where it exists, you can still choose your doctor and opt for a more expensive treatment if you wish. It will not be covered by socialized healthcare, but you can choose to pay.
Second, if you look at life expectancy and healthy life years, nations with socialized healthcare do not score worse than nations without it. "millions of death" is just a troll.
Socialized medicine does not have to be slow and weak. Some politicians make budget cuts so that it turns into that way, so that they can advocate suppressing it.
For instance, in France there are various health-related taxes (on cigarettes for example) that should go to healthcare, but the government forget to transfer them appropriately. Then there is a loss in healthcare, and they can tell people that the system is unworkable and should be weakened. It worked find for decades before they decided to mess it!

The level of the taxes is not really important. What is at stake is what you get for the taxes. If taxes pay for education and healthcare, businesses get educated and healthy workers. If it pays a war in Iraq, it just benefits businesses linked to defense (well.. I should say war instead of defense).
If a casino is too lazy to do simple tests for a gag as old as infra-red marking, why should one penny from taxpayers be used to protect the interests of the scum that own casinos?
I agree with that, but a poker cheater is likely to steal money from other casino's clients, and not from the casino itself. The victims are the weaks and it therefore makes sense that society pays to protect them. But money would be better used if we managed to avoid them going into a casino altogether
I understand that collocation are adressed by their model: they study texts to discover that 'boy' may be preceded by 'tall' but not by 'high', and that in french, 'garçon' may be preceded by 'grand' but not 'haut'. That enables them to translate without a hitch.
But even adjectives handling may come with traps. Adjectives in french may appear before or after a noun. You may say 'un grand garçon' or 'un garçon grand', the meaning is the same most of the time. But there are exceptions! 'un type pauvre' is a poor guy, 'un pauvre type' is a mediocre person. Even the 'grand garçon' vs 'garçon grand' may carry subtle difference, as a father will tell his son he is 'un grand garçon' now (which means he is not a child anymore), but he will probably not tell him he is now 'un garçon grand' (which just mean he is tall). I guess this can be handled by their statistical model, but at some time they will need to add some logic to handle it. I guess it falls in the idiom category.

I wonder if you can gain privacy by adding noise in the system: if I exit a motorway just to re-enter it immediatly, if I stop at unexpected places, is it still possible to infer the destination?
I wonder how they handle synonyms, which may be much more prevalent in a given language from another one.
If the destination language is poorer in synonyms than the source language, this is straightforward, and that automatic translation will just miss subtle points that cannot be translated without a periphrase. In the opposite case, which is moving from synonym-poor language to a synonym rich language, the computer needs to choose the right word, and doing so requires some understanding of the context.
And the problem exists beyond synonyms with sentence structures. Let us take the english sentence "We will give territories". In french it could become "Nous cèderons des territoires" (We will give some territories) or "Nous cèderons les terriroires" (We will give the territories). What should be chosen? It depends of the context, something the computer may have a hard time to grasp.
I would add fish to vegetables. A bad omega 3/omega 6 ratio is the root of many diseases: Eicosanoids produced from omega 6 arachidonic fatty acid induces inflamation (which promotes cancer) and adipocytes proliferation. Eicosanoids produced from omega 3 eicosapentaenoic fatty acid (EPA) found in fishes counteract that, by competing with arachidonic acid for the same enzymes.
I am not sure the trend will last for a long time. The EU has no army, that power being kept at member state level. That means that any country that want to say stop to EU rules can do so. And given the mess EU is creating for its member state population, it should come soon, now.

You should be modded up. Basically the replaced (224, 256, 384, 512) by (256, 512). It is just an elimination of the weaker versions.
