I'm sure you've already eaten some. Like Lindt (swiss) or Toblerone (also swiss) chocolate. And of course Nestlé (still swiss) ! Belgium is also well-known for its chocolate : Côte d'Or, Leonidas, Jeff de Bruges... one of my favorite belgian chocolate brands is Dolfin. Their rosepepper chocolate is awesome. I recommend finnish chocolate too, Fazer does some really good stuff (but I was raised on it, so I'm biased:) )
Good graphics are definitely not important to me, but they need to be "good enough". There are two main criteria for "good enough graphics" : "readability", i.e. you can recognize what's on the screen (ground, water, sword, skeleton...), and "coherence", i.e the artwork is homogeneous (balanced color scheme, same level of detail for every object...). But yes, the gameplay trumps it all.
I remember using that model in a project about 5 years ago. Great performance when querying. Deleting a node is straightforward, you can leave the child nodes as they are and your queries will still work. But inserting or updating can be expensive operations.
I didn't know France was a city, I guess you meant the main boulevard in Paris ?
The Elysium Fields is the resting place of heroes, so I think it's a fitting name : the Arc de Triomphe has sculptures all over it, detailing the wars fought by France, and there's also the tomb of the Unknown Soldier (who died during WW1) at its foot.
Yes, there's baseball here. There's even a national federation of baseball and softball
But no, we don't use baseball metaphors, here in France the law is refered only as "Loi Hadopi" or "Loi Création et Internet".
With such an acronym as the abbreviated name of the game, who could have expected anything less, to be honest? Maybe it was just a practical joke all along!
Yeah, I mean, I read "DNF" and I'm like Disjunctive Normal Form ? Ha, what kind of name is that !
This is just flamebait. Have you ever been in France ?
We have Mc Donald's here. Starbucks. Pizza Hut. People go to the movies to watch the latest blockbusters from Hollywood. We use english words every day in conversation. We are just as americanized as the rest of the western world.
As for your story about HIV testing kits, link please ? Even if there has been a delay, I don't think it was due to the kits "not being French enough". I think that medecine made in France has to be approved by the FDA before it's sold in the States, am I right ? Well I guess the reverse is true, we have something called the AFSSAPS to do this (Agence Française de Sécurité Sanitaire des Produits de Santé, French Agency for Sanitary Safety of Health Products).
Well, if they just name it "Colbert" and not "Stephen Colbert", I'm not going to associate it with an American comedian I've never heard about until today.
Bash is also a command line interpreter. This allows you to try out stuff before writing a script, which you can also do in the same environment : just use cat.
I do that too, the mouse is closer to the keyboard that way.
And once you've learned the shortcuts Shift+Del = Cut, Ctrl+Ins. = Copy, Shift+Ins. = Paste, you're just as fast for basic editing as if you were mousing with the right hand and chording Ctrl+X, C, and V. Bonus : these shortcuts always work, dvorak layout or not.
I checked out the french docs, and they say that on the client side, you need :
an ssh agent, it's the protocol used by Pulse.
an inventory agent which will push the software and hardware details of the client to the inventory server
There's a diagram of the Pulse 2 architecture on page 6 which I'm sure you can understand, the only french words used are actually the same in english (client = client, interface = interface...)
That algorithm is just a click away in Picasa, which includes a film filter. I tried it and it was pretty convincing : all of a sudden my photo looked like a high-res scan of a regular film photo.
It's funny how most "mature-rated games" actually sound *immature* to me. I mean, stealing fancy cars and shooting big guns ? Wow, count me in, NOT.
I actually think a game like Animal Crossing is way more mature. YES, Animal friggin' Crossing, people! Just look at the plot : you move in a new city, all by yourself, you have to pay your mortgage with money that you earn by _working_, you learn to participate in the cultural life of the town by donating to the museum, you have to take care of public space, plant trees and flowers to make a great place for everybody. You meet a lot of people, some are okay, some are unbearable but you have to learn to live with them, and some will become your friends. Sometimes you'll have to help them out by buying their stuff, or finding the keys they lost. Some of them will eventually move out to other towns and you'll never see them AGAIN.

Why did I immediatly translate this name as Clbuttilla ?

You must be new here.

Effing hell people, if a child won't sit still, drag him/her to judo/dance classes or something (not necessarily respectively).

aha... okay, stop staring at me, guys ?
I checked out my spam folder and I thought this one was pretty funny : "Now you can use your other head as it will be bigger than the first one."
there fixed that for you

I invite you to read this book : Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong : Why We Love France But Not The French, it's written by a couple of Canadians who have spent almost two years here in France trying to understand us. It will enlighten you.

You demand Free / Open Source Software malware ?
You jest, but actually there's a good idea in your post. How about :
alias please="sudo apt-get"
$ please install tuxracer
Bash is also a command line interpreter. This allows you to try out stuff before writing a script, which you can also do in the same environment : just use cat.
Just try this :
$ perl
ls
What ? No output ? :)

It's "contrary to" Gates' prediction.

Including foreplay and shower ?
nope, they're called "munkit" (plural, singular is munkki). It also means "monk" in finnish, as you can see from the link.

Now THOSE are some major life lessons, folks.
