The current french government is not really popular, not popular at all even.
The weird thing is that there is no traditional opposition to this government. The left wing is not in good shape at all (since the 2005 elections where Jospin lost to Le Pen (our very own racist nutjob)). Which leads me to my point, these amendments were voted not because they are a Good Thing (tm) (which they are!), but because the UDF (center-right) saw this as a way to strenghten its role as the 'Real Opposition' and gain voters in the 'internet generation' demographics, which is not favorably biased towards them.
But rest assured the current government is backed by very powerful industrials who cherish their fscking IP rights, so these amendments will be vetoed to death, or stealthly removed during the holidays season, just like previous bills have been passed last summer.
I'd like to give my props to the eucd.info/ guys for their actions though, but don't fool yourselves, even the 'good guys' that voted these bills are using us, voters for their very own agenda.

That would be socialism, and that would be double-plus ungood.

are allowing more subscribers now or will the EU players be on their own segregated hardware and unable to play with the US players?
French, German and English clients are restricted to european servers only. Any US account can be turned into an european one, but I have yet to see that. So yes, segregation it is (good thing imho, sometimes RPing in french is just easier).
and.. Have they fixed their problems
Heck no!!! Most people I know can't activate their accounts, the website is knocked heels over head with the swarm of new players. I had a very hard time finishing the even most basic quests, the newbye areas are saturated with newly called heroes!
Of all the times, now is the worst to be a Trogg in Duhn Morgan!

Have you noticed how easy it is to click 'ok' without even reading the dialog box?
The JRE plugin should include a time-delayed OK button, just as firefox does when installing plugins.
Also due to the clever way in which OS X is designed, you can set up a high speed network utilising your firewire, bluetooth, wifi and ethernet ports all simultaneously, with the file being threaded across the available connections.
Care to give an example? I'd love to know how to do this with my powerbook
Slashdot Mirror
http://www.liberation.fr/page.php?Article=346947 states that the amendments were deposited by a PS representative and an UDF representative.

I beg to differ, it uses the Internet Explorer ActiveX for its sidebar panels.

No thanks, I'd rather be invisible and local.

Your question is twofold:
are allowing more subscribers now or will the EU players be on their own segregated hardware and unable to play with the US players?
French, German and English clients are restricted to european servers only. Any US account can be turned into an european one, but I have yet to see that. So yes, segregation it is (good thing imho, sometimes RPing in french is just easier).
