Yes, but I think he's speaking about some other taxes, like the infamous (to french people) "redevance audiovisuelle". The ~120€ tax that you pay annually for owning a tv set. But actually, here in France, this tax only subsidize the French

You know, that this isn't exactly a video... If you really need to play a small video like that... try using gifs. It's easier, and there is only two drawbacks : 1- The stumbling loading of frames. 2- You can't do the thing they do with the

AeroFS, a yc alumni works great if you're concerned with where your data is stored. Nothing is stored on any cloud, because they use a p2p tech, or something like that. They also seem quite serious about security. www.aerofs.com

If you invent a warp drive you will be awarded a patent over the implementation of it, that was never explained in ST for obvious reasons. So if you invent a real one, built to look exactly like the Star Trek one with an "interface" very si

Well. You actually cast some doubts on my knowledge of French procedural law... so since, France is a civil law country I went to the Code de Procédure Pénale. So small class about what happen when a Judge d'Instruction (which in France is

I'm not sure about what you're saying... but if you're saying that the fact that ECHR considers judgments in absentia to be of no legal repercussions... means that a State can pursue charges in absentia even more easily... well... I think,

Interpol is not qualified to judge if what a full member country calls rape is really rape. They received a request from the country, and they charge it (well... they do filter non-serious charges... but this almost never happens to fully r

Yeah, that's my point. But as I always forget, irony without smileys is difficult to convey over the wire. (Well... maybe I'm just not good at it... )

Huh ? Where ? I've seen one intent to show it's untrue (in this thread) and honestly the arguments where bogus. I don't know Swedish law at all. But actually in French law (my domain of study) in a criminal case assigned to a "Juge d'instru

You can run a cmd without prompting the UAC you know... or worse... a PowerShell. You know powershell can do a lot of horrible things to your computer with not a single UAC prompt. For instance, the remove-item commandlet, its description g

As a matter of comparison. Here a regular situation in France : I pay 63€ for a nominal 100MBps fiber connection + free calls from my landline (to other landlines in most of the world (more than 100 countries, and all the big ones (but neit

I'm always amazed by the number of intelligent people who believes in the Golden Ratio Myth. As if some mix between magic and mathematics could explain æsthetics. You should google : Golden Ratio Myth. Or if you're lazy : http://goldenrati

Yeah, I know you're speaking of customs. But customs never should be used as an excuse for illegal behavior. Its like saying, yeah there was a lot of child abuse in the seventies, but it was the custom back then (I'm not comparing child abu

You are actually right, the European take on immigration is awfully right winged when compared to American... It's due to the way these nations built themselves. US is a country of immigration, it literally constructed itself upon it. While

Well, it has changed a lot, but you've got it. The Code civil articles 19 to 19-4 states that you are not French by birthright. If you were born in France, you become French at the age of 18 (automatically, no question asked) if you have li

He should not have needed papers at all to convince people of anything. Wearing this kind of glasses, or bearing a photo camera, in public places, like restaurants is totally legal. And actually, official translation are horribly expensive.

No he is not. He evidently does not have a clue about how the police and law work here in France. Actually, the only situation when police really don't do anything, is when you come to them with petty crimes/misdemeanors and are unable of r

You're saying that any form of call to end a specific form of artistic expression is rightly going to be met with resistance and derision. Whether that be sex, swearing, misogyny what have you. Ok. Then let's push it a little further and im

Read the article. It's said that the main lasting problem is that no one actually said what the limitations are. So at the end of the day this could be all bullshit... but the author of the article hopes that the limitations will live to

We should not forget that ACTA was not just terrible concerning Films and Music. It was botched on a much larger level. Like "protecting" poor people in third world countries from fake medicines... that could be harmful to them... but actua

The problem with your reasoning is that Microsoft is also going hardware. And not by buying Nokia... Look at surface, it's only the start. So your main argument that it's not good to rely on the product of a competitor... is weak. And it's

I'm sorry, but you have a terrible conception of Justice. We should never think that prison "should" be the solution for anything. That's the reason there is 4.5 times more persons in prison per capita in US than in NZ [1]. In continental E
