Well all I see (from Argentina) is a French ad to get more info on the company (hence legal) on the.fr domain. I see none on the.com domain...
Is it any different for you?
First, it can ask its court to enforce the decisions. Which, in practice, means seizing as many assets of google as necessary in France.
If that's not sufficient, ask EU courts to enforce the French decision. That's almost automatic for EU courts, so google's assets in the EU could easily be seized.
If that's still not enough, ask the US state courts (California courts probably) to enforce the decision. It's long and difficult, but possible.
Yes, you should have to litigate every single claim in every single place you do business. That would make a lot of lawyers happy, but would be completely impractical in a global business environment.
That's where international arbitration and the 1958 New York Convention come in. In sum (and in theory), a decision from an international arbitral tribunal can be applied anywhere in the world.
It only impacts google web pages viewed in France. The domain name does not matter.
That's in practice, if the (antique) law (which gives jurisdiction to French courts over any deal with a Frenchman)was applied literaly, no Frenchman at all should be able to view these pages.

Finally do bear in mind that google essentially used someone else's trademark to attract customers. And the offer it made to these consumers was, simply put, an opportunity to take a stab a the legitimate owner of the trademark.
This article is entirely about Open Source, not P2P?
P2P is not sharing, it's merely allowing someone to duplicate your file collection. Sharing involves giving up something, such as work time (Open Source) or processor time (SETI).
I had, successively, a Palm Vx, Sony-Ericsson P800 and now a Qtek S100. The latter two are not "PDAs" as such, but did not have anything to envy to any PDA.
While I enjoyed the Vx a lot (probably the best Palm Pilot ever), I soon stopped carrying it around (keys + wallet + cell phone + palm = too much). It probably the best organizer ever, but there's just not enough room in my pockets...
So I was overjoyed when the P800 came out. It really is a fantastic device. The form factor is ideal, and it's a really good phone. The best part is the sony "jogdial" (that small wheel on the side, whatever it's called) that allows you to do all you need with one finger. But the sync could be improved a lot, it only synchronised basic items with Outlook. Furthermore, there was no easy (or even logical) way to access phone specific items, such as contact photos. None the less, I loved this phone and kept it for two years until I broke it a while ago (bad fall).
I thought of buying a P910, but SE had disapointed me with its marketing strategy. They never improved the sync and the P910 just seemed like a slightly upgraded P800. In addition, I had a really bad experience with a sony VAIO portable CD burner, which I paid a fortune 2 months before the release of XP, and never got XP drivers. So my impression of SE and Sony is that they release wonderful product from time to time, but don't expect any improvement or support for their products from them.
The Qtek S100 (HTC Magician) goes around under several names, but it's basically a tiny Pocket PC with some mobile phones capabilities. So the Pocket PC part is excellent, albeit standard. The phone part is a bit disappointing however. It works fine, but the sound quality and form factor is not as good as the P800. I'm extremely happy with all it's pocket pc features (including skype) and wifi connectivity (with a special SD card) but I am disappointed by the phone. Overall, I would recommend it, but be aware that the phone experience is adequate but not fantastic.
Hum I must not have been quite clear. I literally meant what I said. Literally. I'm sure the poster's a great guy, albeit a story teller.
The list is of approximations is endless in the original post. From the impossible 18 hours day work to the suicide that comes immediately after his departure. Everything falls into place too nicely. It screams of urban legend.
As I already wrote, I agree entirely with him. But I believe he would have far more impact by telling the plain truth. Or is that a second hand story?
Do you realize that by romancing one's stories, one's credibility is brought down? Remember Dan Rather? I'm sure the poster's story is basically correct. That's why it should be told in a way that has an impact.
Other then that, your estimation is, how shall I put it, a bit off:
I'm not nor have ever been in the poster's situation. I did do very long hours, but the final criterion was to do a good job on time, not how many hours you pulled or at what time you showed up. Nothing like the above post. Oh, and I'm currently in South-America, where they have their own way of defining "work."
Although I would agree with the overall message that comes through your post, it's obviously strongly "romanced." That's your style apparently, as shown by the discrepancy between the title and actual content of your thread.
You would have far more impact if you told the truth.
I've worked for a while in "top" law firms experimented with long hours.
1) The first lesson is that people lie. Those that tell you that they spend 70+ hours at work are really speaking about 40-50. They may have done a few days like that, but it's nothing representative. People exagerate, it's human...
2) You need regular sleep. In my case it's 7h a day, add 3h to get to and from work, and get into sleeping conditions, you have 14h left for your day. That's 70 hours of face time (not work time) in five days. At most. Law firms will buy you dinner if you work late at the office, so it's possible to squeeze an hour a day into that (that's still 75h max).
3) So how to you reach 80+? Sleep less. That will help you do some additional work, but only as long as your body will handle it. In my case, I lose a lot of efficiency after 48h lacking sleep. So unless it's for a short burst, it's not worth it.
4) You can add some time in by working Sundays. You sleep your Saturday off, and come to work at 10 am the next morning. It actually works quite well.
5) I would say that 1) is also the conclusion. Pulling in 60 hours on a normal basis is hard to achieve. 80 is impossible.
You are aware, of course, that Oswald's performance was equalled and exceeded by voluntary shooters during the Warren commission's inquiry?
This "implausible explanation" has been demonstrated to be quite possible indeed.
Do keep in mind that Nintendo did not launch a 3D capable platform until several years after the PSX's launch.
Sony did not face any competition from Nintendo, he did have to beat Sega's Saturn. However, the latter was first and foremost a 2D machine with 3D capabilities, whereas the PSX was all 3D.
The playstation won because it understood the market perfectly and did not have any rival./me can't believe it's already been 10 years.

They stopped selling those nifty phones for kids... Paranoia?
Ok, my mistake, I should have read the article more thoroughly.
