In France, licenses have been given for free in limited numbers, and with the right to resell them on the market. So their price have increased up to 200-350k€. So some people made a lot of money there (and they one accept cash, so you know

For pedestrians it is true, but for vehicles it is quite an exaggeration (for France). Well, for the red light, because for the yellow light is often understood as "accelerate so you can pass become it becomes red". When I go to m

About the same in France: heating oil was traditionally used to heat houses, but with the development of nuclear electricity it consumption dropped. French government back then helped the refineries by lowering the taxes and pushed the car

In France, for a 5:30 hours ride, I pay most of the time 75€, 40€ in off-season, as sometimes as much as 100€. The most painful experience is buying a ticket for Christmas season when everybody is trying to buy at the opening of the sales:

I am prompted that each time I activate the GPS to use OsmAnd (for example). The worst is that if you accept it once, this setting is saved and there is no obvious way in the UI to change it back (which was possible in the past I think). To

I bought a odroid-X2 with a eMMC chip 3 years ago and it is more than ok for a "simple" use (hosting my contacts, calendar and RSS for example). But for inserting in bulk 25000 (small) records a day in a Postgres DB it was really

Well, putting text as images prevent the use of a dictionary browser-addon ("Rikaichan" for Firefox for example).

These three persons were not armed. My feeling (being a European) is that I would feel much more threatened by the fact than people I can see in the street can have a gun than I would feel safer because some random strangers could protect m

I contribute from time to time to OSM. What bothers me a bit is my productivity when doing surveys with my phone and OSMTracker. The GPS is not precise enough to record doors locations precisely, and taking photos is time consuming (I feel

I guess he was talking about higher walls around the (few) nuclear plants, not the whole country. That would not make the country "a jail where the only place I can see the ocean is from on top of a mountain".

I think that paying back would a way to go out of this system. But the loser will be the tax payer. When the state/politics decided to give licences for free (a long time ago) and then let the offer and the demand decide the price, the

What do you mean by "a cli version"? A version that would run in a terminal? Or a version that would present one card when the command is invoked? In this case, how would the user enter the answer (again, hard, good, easy)? It wou
