In France, you get french citizenship if you were born in France AND lived there from the age of 13 to 18. We call this "Droit du Sol", the right to get the citizenship if you live there as a child. (you can also get french citizenship if your parent are french and you were born and live abroad).
In Germany, I think they have "Droit du Sang", the right to get the citizenship if your parents were german.
One important thing to consider: even the rules are writen down, the decision is made by a civil servant who sees many many people complaining about why they should be french. This leaves room for a lot of "interpretation" and arbitrary decisions...
I was born in France of non-french parents, I have always lived here, I automatically became french at the age of 18, I did my military service. Yet, a few ago, when they introduced the "new secure id card", the guy behind his desk still wanted me to justify, despite my previous id papers, my passport, my army papers, that I was indeed french!!!

From my personnal experience, DELL (France) sucks too!!!
Had my computer serviced 4 weeks ago for a noise in the graphics card fan. They LOST IT (the whole computer, not just the fan;-) !!!
And 4 weeks later, dispite the initial "we will build you a new machine within 10 days", still no computer. They have screwed up all along the line (where about to deliver me new machine with no graphics card at all!!).
But the worst part is that NEVER have THEY called me, to say they were sorry, to say the thing would be late, or that they had made a mistake. NEVER! It is always I who had to call, at 1FF a minute!!!
And of course, there is no way of talking to someone who can actually make a decision or do something!!

Shouldn't GNOME's main and most important goal be to make Linux easier to use on the desktop?
Hi,
