Would you still say that car manufacturers don't know how to build cars just because they do not manufacture themselves most of the parts that go in a car ?
A few car parts that car manufacturers do not manufacture themselves:
- tyres and rims
- exhaust line
- intake line
- ignition or injection system
- electric/electronic systems
- lights
- gas pump
- gas tank
- brakes
- clutch
- wipers
- most plastic/composites parts
- sound and heating insulation panels
- etc, etc, etc...
What you clearly don't get is that you cannot have you cake and it eat too. There's a strong reason why France gets most of its electric power from nuclear power plants, AND hasn't had a major accident in doing it: there is only one STATE-OWNED company dealing with the matter. Of course you're hinting at it when you write that most reactors use the same technology: that would never happen if the decision is not taken at a high level for all power plants in France. By this I mean that if you have a lot of private companies dealing with the matter, the only way for them to end up with the same technology would be to agree on it, which would be very unlikely if they would want to compete.
In addition, a fact that is rarely known abroad is that France is a highly technocratic country, and as an engineer I mean that in a positive way. A lot of our politicians and decision-makers have been trained in high level elite engineering schools. That is the main reason why we were the third country to send satellites in space, have trains routinely cruising at very high commercial speeds since 1981 (without any major accident), and have had a state-wide interactive IT network since 1984 (Minitel), albeit a slow one.
Now what I would want to know is how you would achieve a sustainable and safe nuclear program, while at the same time refusing to take decisions on which energy to use at a high-level (which I believe is the way Republicans see things), allow strong competition (with the possibility that the energy companies would be bankrupt if they lose money), and of course have low taxes, both on people and companies ?

The market for portable music players is really becoming funny, totally bloated with offers and confusing. Actually I'm sure that having so much competition is an advantage for Apple. It has now become so difficult and time consuming to choose a music player, checking the features, the prices, choosing between solid-state or hard disk based players and whatnot, that the only clear way is to buy an iPod. With so many people around carrying it, it's definitely more reassuring to take the iPod. At least you know it works well, otherwise nobody would be using it.
If you go with something else, you can never be sure that your investment is a good one, and you will allways wonder if you haven't made the wrong choice.
The beauty of the situation is that the same psychological lock-down that leads more than 90% of computer users to go Windows is working for the iPod.

The first white iBook was the 12" G3/500 MHz with a 66MHz bus (released in 2001). The G3/800 was released sometime in the second half of 2002, if my memory doesn't fail.
(I have a G3/600 from Febr. 2002)
I'm particularly not looking for outrageous comments when I read the forums on Le Monde or Libération. Granted I don't do it often, but each time I do I'm surprised by the amount of stupidities I read. Of course I expected those message boards to be of higher value than other places, and I agree it's a mistake from my part.
Whether those are the wrong places to go for insightful comments doesn't change anything about the general impression I have about how Western Europeans see Turkey. As a majority of them have never visited Turkey, not even for a few days, they do NOT know how people live there, what are their expectations for life, etc... As a matter of fact, they know nothing about Turkey's history, and indeed that is a major point argueing for its integration into the EU.
If you have a satellite dish, you might want to point it to Turksat or some other satellite showing turkish programs. Then you may understand why I say the differences are not major: private TV in Turkey looks remarkably similar to italian TV, for example. You will get what I mean: you don't even need to understand turkish. By the way I take TV programs as a very good marker of a population's culture. I think they are an insightful window on a society.
I do not understand your "going back to Constantinople" comment. Neither the one about Eastern Thrace being in Europe (as that is an argument FOR Turkey in EU, not AGAINST, which I understood was your opinion). What was your point exactly ?
As for common points, I think the most striking is just the way of living. If you are able to make a difference between how a Greek lives in Athens and how a Turk lives in Istanbul, you're just the type of person who sees only differences. There may be differences between a parisian and an athenian, but Greece is already part of the EU, right ? To sum up, I think that Turkey's culture is profoundly and mainly Mediterranean.
But YOU have been the one to write "I fear there may be too many discrepancies" !! You cannot even be sure since you fear there are differences, but you do not even specify those ! Would you care to do that ?
Concerning the few Turks you've met: how can you draw any conclusion from a handful of them ? I know the turkish community in Paris. Their opinions are as diverse as they are for Turks living in Turkey. What would you think if I told you that all the French are like Le Pen because I met 7 of them and they were all racists ? (just an assumption, of course I know it's not the case)
The comment about the polls was just to show that your argument based on the opinions of a handful doesn't mean anything in democratic countries. If you don't get that and start bringing out the polls in the Kingdom of Fiji or in Kazakhstan, I'm not following you.
You can bash Americans all you want, but try at least to be a little fair: the least we can admit is that the US has a long tradition of accepting immigrants and integrating them. Whether they do it well or not, or even "enough", I don't know, but honestly I don't think they're better or worse than us Europeans. I think this is really one question on which they don't need any lessons from Europeans.
I feel you're a bit out here. What grandparent poster is referring to is that most european countries apply the "droit du sang" (literally "citizenship by blood rights"), which, to my french ideals, seems at least a bit racist.
You're right to point out that France is more like the US American custom of granting citizenship to people living in France for a "long time" (or being born in France, of course) , what we call the "droit du sol" ("right of citizenship by the soil"). Namely, in France you need to live 5 years continuously in France, and at least speak a bit of french, to be granted citizenship (and of course you have to ask for it, it can take time to process the application, but in the end you get it).
However France's situation doesn't change anything to the fact that the Swiss voted in a racist way. This is even more clear when you see that it's the german-speaking districts (the "cantons") that voted against, whereas the french-speaking voted for.
Could you elaborate on this ? I am serious about it: I'm French (of foreign parents, btw) and I have never heard about such "ancestry checks". If that's true, it's once more a proof that you'll always learn about your country from foreign eyes.
By the way, not to be picky, but you cannot "get european citizenship" (at least not yet), just citizenship of a european country.
Hate? What hate? What for? If the EU was hating the Turks, there would be no more Istambul, just a radioactive desert. Stop using tough words like that if you cannot imagine what they imply.
Get out of your hole, boy ! I happen to read newspapers message boards of different european newspapers (namely: french, swedish and danish, sometimes german), and it's clear to me that there is something wrong in the way most people (posting on those forums) think about the Turks in western Europe. Perhaps you're one of them, by the way ? And what is most saddening is that most of them know nothing about turkish culture or have never been to Turkey.
I personnaly am very much ill at ease with Turkey joining the EU for this reason. I fear there may be too many discrepancies between us, too many reasons not to build anything together.
I'm personally very much ill at ease with people thinking like you, who prefer to emphasise the differences instead of the common points.
And there are Turks who feel this would be foolish too. I met some.
great ! you met the 3 or 4 Turks who are against joining the EU, in comparison to a huge majority out of the 70 million people populating Turkey. Consider yourself lucky !
They can complain as much as they want. Nobody will force them to use open standards ! Nobody will force them to open source Word or Excel. They can continue to use their own formats if they wish.
However they will have a strong incentive to integrate the standards in their Office suite if they want to stay on the market, because if organisations ask to be provided with documents in a standard format, then nobody will buy MS anymore.
That's the point of a standard: it's independant, it doesn't care about Microsoft, or Sun or whomever. It cares about interoperability.

We do care extremely much about what we eat, that's as simple as that.
But honestly, you cannot understand that if you never went to France for some time to experience it by yourself. I have been living in Scandinavia for more than 5 years now, and I can see that Scandinavians are healthy, no question about that. But I am daily horrified about the food they can accept to eat here.
EFTA was mainly a joke for countries not willing to join the EEC, pushed by the UK as an answer to the (mostly) French-German EEC because there was no way UK could join the EEC with de Gaulle still alive. After de Gaulle died, UK could join the EEC and left the useless EFTA as soon as they could. Without the EEC, EFTA would never have existed.
Luxembourg cannot be part of EFTA, they were founding members of EEC. You're confusing it with Liechtenstein.
As an aside, the most "euroskeptical" and problematic countries in the EU now are former members of EFTA (Denmak, Sweden, UK). Those are the only ones not wanting to join the Euro, for example. If I had a say, I would prefer not having Norway joining the EU. I prefer to go forward with people/countries who understand the EU project and who want it instead of being dragged and having the EU stalled, just because it's strange and unfashionable to be outside.
I agree that the site itself might not be the best, and is definitely not up to date. However, they give a lot of links (see for example this article from Bob LeVitus that gives other links), and as such, they can be a starting point for information. That's how I see it anyway.
Others (like me) think this is a normal and healthy part of the evolving software world, which is rapidly coming down to pricing/economics that makes sense for a product that costs so little to manufacture.
Little to manufacture ? Like, by outsourcing to India ?
For me the answer is easy, although I cannot talk about Linux since I'm too afraid to replace Windows with a Linux Distro.
Between 2000 and 2003, I was administrating 2 to 3 macs, and about 3 to 4 Windows boxes (I'm in no way a computer engineer, I just happen to be interested).
I reinstalled cleanly Mac OS X to clear problems once or twice, and that might be because I started tinkering with the interface, and I couldn't keep track of all the mess I made. I installed and reinstalled Windows (various versions) more than 20 times. Most of the times was because it started to be so slow, or I didn't have enough space left on the hard disk because installing and deinstalling software made the system gobble all the free space but it never gave it completely back. Oh, and yes I like to test software (and it's not shitty spyware that I test). And after years under Windows I figured out it is easier and quicker to reinstall the thing instead of trying to clear the mess. However it still can take up to one week to have the machine back on tracks, because you have to reinstall all the software, find the CDs, etc, and since I'm not the general system admin I have to ask for the CDs (in the end I just copied them). When I had to do it on the Mac, it took maybe one day, because I could back up the applications on an external disk.
So I would say that in pure time lost for this, it was about one or 2 days with OS X, and several weeks for Windows (98, NT4 and 2K mainly). The thing I really like with OS X is that I can test almost any software that seems useful, and if I don't like it, well, it goes to the trash. On Windows I'm always afraid it will lead me to the (n+1)th reinstall. And that is just so much more comfortable on OS X. I'm not afraid to break everything, and I would never have progressed the same way on my knowledge of computers had I staid with Windows, where I would have just become more efficient in reinstalling stuff.
Well, my 2 cents...
Yeah sure, all is well, and you've written a long trollish post that has even been modded as insightful. You seem to think it would be interesting to ask for a job at a company which is obviously a bunch of liars, make dubious claims, are amateurs, self-aggrandizing, unpleasant to deal with, retort with stupid accusations of terrorism or whatever stupid might go through their head this week (a bit like SCO, btw). Well, go ahead: contact MS today. Tell them you found a lot of bugs and exploits in their software, and you'd like to help them fix all this bloated thing called Windows. Please let us know how it works out for you.
