You're not concerned. Contrary to what the summary said, it's not a tax for artist.
The problem is twofold : - Google France declares to the french IRS 40 000 000 of revenues, while 800 000 000 coming from french companies are declared in Ireland to evade french taxes. Basically, if french money is good enough for Google to open some offices in France, they should pay taxes. - Content providers (the like of Slashdot lemonde.fr whatever) have seen their ad revenue decrease. There is doubts on whether it comes from Google abusing it's more thant 65% market share on internet ad network.
We still get overpricing on mobile phone (the 3 major providers seems to be in illegal agreement over pricing, hence 10 cents by sent SMS).
Presure seems to come from unlimited 3G (once one dare to use VoIP on mobile phone, we'll probably have unlimited mobile phone/mobile internet/mobile TV/mobile VOD on 3G plus 100Mb/s (up and down) when wired for 30 or 45â per month), though, while the majority of the population will be covered (France has a tad higher population per square kilometer than the US, so it's economicaly more feasible), rural area won't be that lucky (though wimax might help here).
For instance, getting 'bashisms' out of init and other shell scripts so that a fully POSIX compatible shell (such as dash) can parse them correctly. Ubuntu tackled a lot of that list.
I didn't get the impression that it cames from ubuntu (you do know that dash stand for debian almquist shell?).
Though, seing how the credit does not go to redhat for the networkmanager, I'm not that surprised.
What's weird, is that a company dealing with rumors should say : "we do not comment rumors"
If they do not deal this way, you can know what's true and what's false : - denial : false or too early - no comment : true
My guess in this case, is that nVidia is not planning to abandon chipset, it's just planning to outsource (i.e. it probably gives revenue, though, it's margin is inferior to the core of nVidia business -> outsourcing)
Multicast is already used by french ISP free and neuf (and I guess orange too), to provide HDTV.
The trick is that the multicast is only between the provider and the customer, it's not directly from the channel to the customer through the ISP (though, that would be cool).
Oh, yes, did I mention that HDTV was already available in Europe?
(plus comics and movies are different medium, so I tend to judge them differently, not on them being true to the comics (though I didn't like the adaptation made to spiderman, those made the character shallow IMHO)).
Just to be sure, in the U.S. if you attend law courses/school, you're not automaticaly a lawyer afterward, there is some form of exam to become an attorney, right?
(It's rather fuzzy what people means by lawyer, given the peticularities of each countries).
Not sure why. The opinion isn't strongly against or for it (maybe something like 51% against), so it might change.
A possible explanation would be the kind of experience with some kind of extremist religious leader who set foot in France: asking for the veil in public school for teenage girl, promoting creationist books. Things which can be expressed in France with some semblance of legitimacy because a good deal of the population ignore religious or national tradition from Turkey.
My guess is that it's just innocent xenophobia, a bit of time will probably change the attitude.
He no longer touch Mongrel (if he is leaving the Ruby/Rails community), doesn't he?
Plus, not using products done by asshole or people who rant once in while would means no reiserfs, no linux (gnome is done by interface nazi according to Linus), openBSD (theo is a nice guy), cellphone (the rocket used to launch those sattelite were conceived to destroy London), and stop using that chart which gives the danger of electricity based on volt and amp (ever wondered how that chart was done? hint: godwin point).
Except that there is more accident on the autobahn without speed limits than on those with speed limits. There is roughly half of the autobahn with speed limits, and two third of the accident occurs in section with speed limits.[1] This has to be considered with knowing that the speed limits in place for the autobahn are in places supposed to be more dangerous.
Also, variable speed limits are to be seriously considered with traffic (if you're alone, go ahead break the speed, when there is someone else, though it's a different matter).[2]
What might spread the legend, is that highway in Europe (except maybe UK, and I do not know how it is for the rest of the world) are safer, in every possible ways (per road trip, per kilometer), than other roads (especially city roads).
So an highway without speed limits, the autobahn, is safer than pretty much every other roads, except highway with speed limits.
Though, be aware that even in Europe, the autobahn is often used as a point without mentioning its accident rate compared to other european highway with speed limits, but instead compared to the national rates.

some debian devs did rewrite some of those too

When ubuntu came, those point were better (or solved).
What was missing was not users, but users who promote what they use, producing a virtuous cycle of growth.
i.e. Canonical has several "community manager" on its payroll kickstarting this process.
why would someone want to be offended by a word, you would think people would have better things to do than create reasons to be offended.

Black on white backround.
Studies noticing this started in 1956 (the last mentioned is from 2000).
Also, someone gave an explanation in one of the above post: dark backround tricks your pupils into opening more widly, loosing focus.

You're wrong
You can get this kind of services from small companies as well.
Companies in the CAC40 (and I guess that it holds true for fortune 500 companies as well) can get this kind of services from any supplier.
Not true for Latex (and pretty sure that it's not true for gcc either, was it the 3.4 version released by redhat which was dreaded?)

Well, I think that it's since, oh 2005, that the U.S. requires Electronic passport for foreigners. I'm french, I've got one.
