A loss is something that you were supposed to win, for sure, and that you end up not getting for some accidental context. The money you don't earn juste because someone is not subscribing your service or becouse he is cheating your usage condition is not a loss, since you have no garantee that he would have subscribed otherwise. You can also count the number of billions netflix is "loosing" because most of the worldwide population did bot subscribe, that's still not a loss.
At most, those can be considered as an interested marketshare to convince...

It's not a problem of French tax law, it's not even a problem of EU tax law, it's a problem of Ireland playing the "tax paradise" card, offering low tax harbor for enterprise like Apple, which can then deliver freely in Europe (due to tax free market inside all European Union). Things are changing though and UE is starting to show its muscles to Ireland. Beside all that, these events are mainly targeted to shame firms that do unfair tax "optimization", which is (right now) not legally punished, but still morally dist
Great that would give much more time to try to guess your password. Honestly, password history oly make sense if you force a delayu between each password change (1 day, for instance).
Anyway, use random password and a password manager, get a very long password on that password manager and keep it as secret as possible. 90 days and password strength on each site should not be a problem anymore.
Most of the time, when you ask for password change, you have to re-authenticate at the same time. Then, you can easily compute some password distance. Of course, this can be doomed by using a password-reset feature, but if your users are wicked enough to kill the security of their personal data, who are you to try to stop him from shooting in their foot ?
By the way, 30-day renewal delay is just way too much. What is the point of that, really ?
base64 limits your symbols to only 2 (/ and =, i think)... But the 100 length may save you, if the remote website does not truncate silently your password length (and in that case, you end up with a low strength password...)
"good at working for their own advantage" : no that's not what i said. They're good at working if they see the point. loosing time on pointless meeting, going through endless and useless procedure is not likely to motivate them. I guess the swiss culture is too much german-like to be able to coop with the latin one, and undestand what motivates them.
And well, for Areva, you may take into account that the top management is prolly too much contaminated by politics and English management ways to allow enough flexibility and have it done for good. French are mode accustomed to "rights" than "rules" (and i shall agree that it can be a real problem sometimes).
As a guy who work in a big french firm, i'd say guys tend to work 7-8 hours a day, and not bitch around. If they doi, may be you'd rather wonder what the management is doing, and why they're bitching. Yeah, french people are not such robots as German or swiss may be, but that doesn't mean they're lazy. They are willingly doing much job, unless the environment is messy (silly financial directivbe, useless management, reward lack).
And i've worked with german, and see how things can get messy if the project fall in an unplanned crack...Missing a little pragmatism, sometimes. Well, i guess that's not all german, but it's always easy to hang on "clichés"...
Well, i'm french. The 35 hours a week gave us an extra dozen days off a year. I'm still working more than 40 hours a week (and BYOD + home-working initiatives is kindly grinding my private life). The time we work is really different from paper to reality. Unless you're a union worker, because you're safe no matter what you do. So these one, well, yes, they may work 3 hours a day (and not be really productive meanwhile...). But these are really few in french firms (say ten or twenty for 5 thousands employees).
Of course not. But apple has some habits of deprecating a version when 3-4 new versions are available. In that case, the users already lost one landmark... And, honestly, a quite large part of apple customers like to have the last up to date tablet, so they can strut for about one year. This time, they got fouled.
My main concern is not about regulation change, it's about Apple urging consumer to a product they want to abandon.. It's a bit like "hey, i need your money to purge my stocks...", where as a decent consumer choice would be to wait for the new shortcoming version...
Yeah, so instead of telling their customer:" Hold on, we'll deliver a brand new one", they go for "Rush for the shops, we won't comply the EU directives and there'll be no more of those Mac Pro in store in a couple of weeks". Yeah thank you Apple...
It's not as if they would release 2 ipad versions in one year, completely killing the brand new tablet you bought 6 month earlier...
Shell script is ok for one liner, and so is awk. But still, if I need to really write a batch that is more or less complex, i'd immediately switch to perl : shell forks too much (unless you're only using builtin, but then you have to know which commands are builtin and which aren't. And yes, using system command or forking in perl is just non-sense (and mainly used because of misknowledge of perl capability).
You're missing a few points. 1st, the french ISP model is "you pay a fixed bill amount per month, and it's an 'all you can eat/what your DSL line length can sustain' deal". No quota for megabytes or what-so-ever. So the much your client use (or what the site provides), the much it costs to the ISP on the peering side, but that doesn't provide any extra income from a client side... 2nd, google is a content provider on one side and making packs of cash from ad on the other side. Means for me that, since it provide big content, it earns money from peering (but i may be wrong here, since i'm not sure what the peering agreements are) and also from ads... All using the ISP network, which is forced to enlarge its capacity with no more money (since client pays fixed fee). 3rd, instead of filtering google service, they can filter goole ads. They did it for a a few days. Estimation goes around 1 million euro of lmoss for google for each day. That's a way of pressure for the ISP. (with many undesirable side effects for site living from ads income, net neutrlity, etc... but still)...
I'm not trying to tell which side of the war is right or taking cause for any of the opponents. I'm just shedding a bit of lights to the inner mechanics of this perticular fight...
That was my point against using tablet for producting anything but a few lines, until i saw my brother in law unpacking its galaxy Tab 2 and playing with speech recognition. It was amazingly precise and functionnal. Of course, you'd better be in a fitting context (alone, and with little environment noise), but this makes quiet a good alternative to writing extensive mails or documents.... On another hand, i've also seen the galaxy Notes 10 working, and the stylus is doing a good job for manual to types text transformation. So the input problem on tablet is being addressed by construtors (at least Samsung), and there are already a couple of viable solution, AFAIK...
Actually, the iPhone 5 started shipping by the end of september, and they sold 5 millions units in 3 days... So it can be accounted for the third quarter, and not for a negligeable amount...
Simple : SIII : 18M units sold 4S : 16,2 M units Sold 5 : 6 M sold
Since 5 is the new 4S, it would make more sense to compare SII + SIII vs 4S+5. But that would not be sa much glorious as it seems for Samsung, and not as much sensational for the press running for an astonishing news...
In the "Samsung finally took over Apple" vs "Apple beats once more the concurrency", they made the choice that would tease the average Joe...
No... Not the french, the french _content provider_.
I'm french, and if you ask me, i'd say this whole stuff is non sense, event more non sense since the government feels like it should threaten google with a silly law (but well, as a citizen from "civilized" country, i'm as much used to silly law as you must be).
So please, make me a favor and don't drop me in the same basket as those silly content providers (who, beside this, really need google to just live : google is a big audience source).
It will make you more efficient and will help you enjoy your life more.
You'll be able to focus on important things and yet, never miss any detail. It'll also drop a big amount of the stress i'm sure you're experiencing from time to time. Applies to both professional and private environment.
Really, it's cheap, so, you're not likely to loose a lot by giving it a chance.
... But i can't help thinking we'll have to buy buckets of blue pills, if we really come to this...
And, to speak of the Google Glass project, i'm not sure : people that don't wear glasses will have hard time to acustomed to this (i mean, if you don't really need it all the time, you don't wear glasses beside the few minutes the 3D film is cast in the cinema). And people that do wear glasses... Well they need special glasses so they can actually see...
And i won't even mention the need for something that actually makes feel nice or is just different (wearing glasses is not nice, so your glasses have to be : it's your face, damn it : the first thing you see, the first impression you give to others - Ok.. may be the second or third for girl meeting horny geeks, but anyway...-).
I can't see how google can succeed with those glasses, despite that nice "always on" promise (well it's nice in the first place, but see how enslaved we are to our smartphone... Do you really want to feed another addiction ?)...
