Things are changing in France as of AC: more and more poeple buy some AC appliance for their homes.
I think that it is because of the two really hot summers we had, including this year.
But yes, comparing to the USA, France is very very late & slow to adopt AC.
But for modified crops/food, there is a huge controversy in France.
Some french activists (you perhaps know the name of José Bové) 'harvest'(ie: destroy) many experimental GE modified crops.
Some of the activists have jailed for that.
Their arguments is that the science does not know what the consequences of these GE modified culture will be so that, right now, the 'principle of precaution' leads to not produce/eat that kind of GE modiffied things and that the government should not allow experiments on that in the whole country.
Yesterday evening, I have attended to a play in Paris. My neighbor could not wait for the end of the play or for the interval: he had to check his blackberry often...
Some blackberry users become slaves. I hope for them that 'blackberry' will disappear...
As far as i remember, this g++ option was not checking all the rules described in the 'effective C++' and 'More effective C++' books.
I hope it will be available in g++ one day.
By the way, there are some (paying) products that can analyze C++ source code and chez all these rules. I know Parasoft Codewizard but it's very expensive and difficult to configure to get really meaningful messages.
In France, the situation is the following:
A corporation can anly read emails concerning business. The emails sent from a corporate email account but concerning private matter can not be read.
The problem is: how can companies know if an email is a business or a private one ?
AFAIK, in France, we often are asked to put a special word (eg: private or personnal) in the title in order to avoid scanning.
I was using Yahoo! messenger for video and skype for the voice but video4skype seems quite better than Yahoo! I wonder what kind of algorithm they use.
Translated from a a french newpaper:
"The historical operator, his Orange subsidiary company and Bouygues Telecom have all three known, in the last seven months, of the significant breakdowns, depriving their customers of telephone service for durations varying from a few hours at almost two days.The succession of these events clarifies the increasing complexity of the systems of telecommunications and the difficulties raised by the needs, news, of interconnection of many heteroclite networks".
A minister in the french government as asked for a study about all these failures:-)
I'm not sur it will help...
Well, assume you haven't got a lot of money to produce software... So you pay american developers to get the job done quick and dirty
The solution is to hire a bunch of indian developers (Bangalore...). They will cost you far less money and you will get the job done the right way instead of "quick and dirty".
If india is too expensive: try Romania, Russia and so on !
1) Hire a dozen of clever indian developers, they will cost the price of all the small US team,
2) Fire the whole US team shouting too much,
3) Money !
Hey, guys, this *is* capitalism !
I just want to have a look to KDE 3.
If RH 8.0 works fine, I mean installing it and getting things working without big problems, I won't go back to MDK 8.2.

Why should an american company hire an american contractor. They can have the same kind of skills for far less money hiring a contractor in India...

I did an upgrade in 'recommended mode'. Well things went OK but after a reboot:
It took me hours to get the X server and the ADSL working but I still have no sound.
I am fed up with all this. I think I am going to try RH 8.0
