  1. Re:Open letter on Google Appeals French Order For Global 'Right To Be Forgotten' (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    No. France wants its laws to be applied on any service SOLD (if it's free, then you're the product) on the French territory. France doesn't care if the service is sold through a .com or .fr domain name.

  2. Where is the service provided ? on Google Appeals French Order For Global 'Right To Be Forgotten' (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Since google.com is a service that is available in France, then it is also under French regulations
    If google only want to apply the constraint on google.fr , ok , then they have to deactivated access to google.com
    This is not censorship, people, this is only personal data protection.

  3. Re:Simple question on Google Appeals French Order For Global 'Right To Be Forgotten' (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Ummm... no. Each people in France has the right to see its data DELETED from any company database. This is personal data regulation.

  4. Not "So Much", but "So Long" on Why Do Americans Work So Much? · · Score: 1

    The title is wrong, because it only refers to a duration (40 hours) and not a work quantity. It should have been "Why Do Americans Work So Long?".

    You should check the OECD Stats, where you can find the GDP per hour worked, which should be a better indicator (not perfect, but better)
    http://stats.oecd.org/Index.as...

    As an example, Norway or Irish people would work less time to generate more GDP, per capita.

  5. Hoax on David Bowie Dies At Age 69 (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

  8. Impressive Mitsubishi! on San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant Dismantling Will Cost $4.4 Billion, Take 20 Years · · Score: 1

    Apparently the shut-down is due to a problem on Mitsubishi's vapor generators, replaced in 2009/2010. Two years later, a leakage of 100+ liters per hour. Very impressive to buy heavy equipment with a two years lifetime ...

  9. Professional phones and expense policy on Really, Why Are Smartphones Still Tied To Contracts? · · Score: 2

    One of the reason could be because some companies still reimburse only the contract monthly cost, and not for mobile phone itself. Some people do not want to use their personal phone, and prefer getting a new one, only for professional matters. In this case, the only way for them - if they don't want to entirely pay for a new phone - is to have a new contract, with mobile phone cost embedded.

  10. Why wouldn't you want to be open on Nvidia Announces 192-Core Tegra K1 Chips, Bets On Android · · Score: 1

    ... Why would Sony and Microsoft be open? What interest would they have in using a competitor's OS? And creating a completely NEW platform would still be very hard...

  11. Trust on NSA Says It Foiled Plot To Destroy US Economy Through Malware · · Score: 1

  14. Proxy ? on Epic: A Privacy-Focused Web Browser · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Proxy is a nice option, except when you don't know where the Proxy is... Easy to implement a Proxy and have a look at users communications...

  15. Testla is good... on Tesla Motors May Be Having an iPhone Moment · · Score: 1

    ... but French Exagon Motors is better (http://www.exagon-motors.com/)

    Since 1999, La Rochelle (France) has setup an electric car rental service called Yelomobile (former Liselec). So Paris is not really "innovating" with this idea...
